Barbara got a Wii for Christmas

"say what?"

Idle thoughts at 3am...

Do we not all have  memories of special words or, beter yet, translations of words that our children have amused us with when they were very young?  What came out of the mouth was different than what entered the ear..  Here are three of the Peete family's...that we oft times still use today.

"high heels" became "hill-highs"
"coat hangers" became "hanger-coats"
and my favorite:
"bon fire" became "box-a-fire"

In  2001, while on a visit here is see Barb and David,  we had a bon-fire ...what we burned were boxes... Bobby (grandson) who was 4 years old at the time couldn't get the idea of "bon-fire" in his head...we were burning boxes so therefore it was a "box-a-fire"...don't know where the -a- came from...

What were some of your family's?

Ever Notice?

EVER NOTICE, THE OLDER WE GET, THE MORE WE'RE LIKE COMPUTERS ?

WE START OUT WITH LOTS OF MEMORY AND DRIVE,
THEN WE BECOME OUTDATED,
"CRASH" AT ODD MOMENTS,
AND EVENTUALLY HAVE TO GET
OUR PARTS REPLACED

something is askew

and it's my blog templete...I now have two on the same blog...did you notice? When my blog opens there's this yukie mustard color templete that appears for a few seconds...then the latest one that I've been using shows up...but the color of the title text is white ? and meshes right in with the background...oh, well...I guess there are worse things...

inspired (again) by the Cyberspace Dawdler

by the way, Alan G...I checked into the meaning of your cyberspace name...
Dwadler–verb (used with object) . to waste (time) by or as if by trifling (usually fol. by away): He dawdled away the whole morning.

 I just wanted to gain some insight into the type of person I've been cyber stalking.

P.S.
you inspire me to write better..

"P.S" shouldn't I say "postscript"

"write"...shouldn't I say "post, compose, articulate?"

"better"...shouldn't I say "improve?"

"say"...shouldn't I use the word ....."?

come on, help me out here..it's people like you who make me act like this...

The Real Santa Clause

whatda I tell you...same Santa every time...even the same body language...

Mans Best Friend

Where Did Pets Come From?

"And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."
And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam.
And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.
And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.
And Cat did not care one way or the other."

How To Hug A Baby

1. First, uh, find a baby


2. Second, be sure that the object you found was
indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques.



3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process


4. The 'paw slide' Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.

Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute
The difficult and patented
'hug, smile, and lean' so as to achieve the best photo quality.
