Sometime you just need...

a swift kick in the ass. Thanks for being the one to give it to me, Pavel.

I have a lot going on with my jewelry, so I'll be in and out for a few days. In the meantime, here's some things to ponder. HUGS!


THE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

A husband was in big trouble when he forgot his wedding anniversary.His wife told him, "Tomorrow there better be something in the driveway for me that goes from zero to 200 in two seconds flat." The next morning the wife found a small package in the driveway. She opened itand found a brand new bathroom scale. Funeral arrangements for the husband have been set for this Saturday


EVER WONDER ....

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin ?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? !
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
