Seeing you posting, IWM. Haven't been in sync with your schedule for a while. :thumb:

My Father's Day gift

This morning I went to cheer on the runners of the Manitoba Marathon. One of the runner in it was a friend of mine. He is blind. The only limit is the limit we put on ourselves.

...remembering my Dad

Me too.....and smiles through tears.

((((Bibi))))

Finding something that had been lost. :)

Another (quite chilly) picnic in the park....intended to become a Sunday tradition

dad's reaction to some of his gifts and cards

a phone call

Being tempted to spill the beans to my mother about my trip next week. :D

A good workout...and a surprisingly good french bread pizza...finished off with some bing cherries. It's called clean-out-the-refrigerator-day :slurp:

Figuring out some logistics with my "contact" and resource in the area. ;)

Getting one helluva moustache ride early this morning. :drool:

Working out mealtime arrangements. :)

Mr. Lil for the past 18 years

Someone with a premonition

My babbling neighbor

Someone that say's "Forever" is what he has in mind.

Someone who threatened last night to give me a noogie. :D

^^^ her slang

The difference between the way we people in the Midwest speak and those darn people from other (northern) parts of the country. ;)

someone that's jonesing!

Someone who knows what that ^^^ means now, too. :D

Getting an edgycashon!

<---got an education today, too. ;)

A email or two.

Thoughts of two upcoming, 48-hour trips, and trying to pack as much as I can into them.

The Following...................
 

THE FOLLOWING.............Instructions

I thought these might be helpful in your daily activity. In Honor of Stupid People. In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (Damn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

Mark & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating " (...and you thought????)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only. (as opposed to what, under water?)

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)

"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

We all need to smile every once in a while

OMG ^^^^! :D

Some confusion on my part.

A big hug and kiss from two very special people in my life.

Someone I gave a heart attack to, bright and early this morning, without realizing it. :D

Having lunch with my wife and two other couples we love dearly and then to get an email from someone we also think is pretty special.

Making breakfast plans with a couple of special people. :)

I think this one deserves a round of applause!


Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Lilith! :cheers:

An attorney.

Him: "Oh, you're from Kentucky. So *that's* where the funky accent comes from."

Me: "I do NOT have an accent!"

Him: "You only have an accent when you're trying to defend yourself by claiming you don't have an accent."


Don't try arguing with attorneys. :D

:jump:

Yep, I'll join the crowd. :hug:

Little kids trying to swing baseball bats larger than themselves

My crazy kids as always.
