Annie, I LOVE the alphabet foam letters...Sofyan and i have already talked about buying them because we have hardwood floors. They have em at Babies r us and I dont think they are that unreasonable...hmmmm maybe some weekend shopping...lol I dont think id find that one on craigslist... smile.gif


Yeah I was thinking the same...no craigslist sad.gif LOL But they are reasonably priced so no biggie. Target, Walmart, Kmart, etc sell them as well so shop around.



Good Lord, I was just thinking in a few months I'll have to buy a small playpen for my new grandchild! WOW!

Good morning everyone!

GG-how awful of that person to do that to an innocent child. And how awful that you have to witness that. I can see where u would have had a very emotional day yesterday. It would have been very hard for me not to lash out at that person also! And I agree with you about the babies. I love seeing those pictures and how fast these babies are growing. I feel like I know every single one personally. They make me smile.

Jackie, I hope you are having a better day today!

So what you are saying Bigyard ...he either trusts me alot or doesn't love me at all.

Jealousy is a way to express love? You really think that?

Morning everyone! I wish my phone never rang this morning. My son wants me to come pick him up and take somewhere and i'd rather be in bed! My allergies are turn into a cold for me, I feel lousy!


Aww, poor Terrie! I used to have the allergy turn into cold thing ALL THE TIME when I was younger. Then I found out about nasal irrigation and Flonase and I'm waaaaay better! good.gif

Have you ever tried a neti pot? (or anything that irrigates the nose with a saline solution)
Or flonase? I LOVE this nasal spray. Its steroidal but you can take it your entire life apparently.



Thanks Jen, I do have flonase and it don't seem to do alot for me sad.gif

When kamal first got here I had to get rid of all the pork in the house(not that there was much anyway), but now that I've turned Muslim, I don't even eat pork by my parents house anymore. I miss it, but I will survive.

Tasha, I know what u mean by your friends trying to trick him. I've been told to try the same. Which I would never do anyway. Some people are so mean! mad.gif

The mechanic just called. I believe he enjoys playing with my emotions. He said well good news is your engine and transmission are both 100% fine, strong, no detectable problems. The bad news is that your fuel pump is completely kaput. He said it died and it's not feeding any fuel to the engine at all and that it has to be replaced, which means the fuel tank has to come out to do this. The parts and installation he quoted at $700 wacko.gif Is he for real? (Plus I get to pay the towing bill on top of that) My pops is on the phone now calling some friends and calling around to see if there's anywhere cheaper than that or if that's a fair price or high way robbery - Me knowing nothing about cars can't tell if it's fair or not. Then again this is a dealership where the car was towed so I'm sure their prices are higher than most. Crossing fingers that Papa finds a cheaper solution before I have to go punch someone in the throat (that was for you Annie) devil.gif



I need a good "fainting" smiley dude.... until then... *puts hand to forehead and faints, collapsing to the ground* a the mere mention of spending $700.00 to fix that!

this one always works for me

Why did the chicken cross the road?????



BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road...

SARAH PALIN: BECAUSE, PRAISE JESUS, I WAS GONNA SHOOT HIS SORRY
LIBERAL ### OFF FOR BLOCKING MY VIEW OF RUSSIA!

HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this coun try gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

####### CHENEY: Where's my gun?

COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of crossing?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.

OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmers Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chick en, you will become gay, too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the
road move beneath the chicken?

COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
