Maybe I'm just "old fashioned" or maybe just "old".... but I don't like dirty jokes and this one about "no undies" was, to me, dirty! We've never had things like this in our MrsSurvival home before, so if this is to continue, maybe I'd just better stay away from the "humor me" forum.... huh?

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this: There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP." It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so.............Time to shut UP.....! Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U P

Wow!!! Thanks for that picture... I've been told that cows didn't have upper teeth... now I know!!!

Gosh... I thought it was cold here at 13 degrees this morning. I don't believe that I could live up there where you are Hill... Makes you think and count your blessings, doesn't it? Take care and try to keep warm... love

Links to some of the counties in all the U.S. states. Very helpful. It links to the current Web site of each county... not all counties have websites. Many of the counties have extensive information about their history on the site. Go to-- http://www.us-counties.com/

"While never willing to bow to a tyrant, our forefathers were always willing to get to their knees before God. When catastrophe threatened, they turned to God for deliverance. When the harvest was bountiful, the first thought, was thanksgiving to God. Prayer is today as powerful a force in our nation as it has ever been. We as a nation should never forget this source of strength. ... Through the storms of Revolution, Civil War, and the great World Wars, as well as during times of disillusionment and disarray, the nation has turned to God in prayer for deliverance. We thank Him for answering our call, for, surely, He has. As a nation, we have been richly blessed with His love and generosity." --Ronald Reagan

The fire broke out on the roof of the three-story red-brick courthouse, which had been undergoing a $27 million renovation. Hose taps and sprinklers in the unoccupied building had been disconnected by workers. Old records had already been moved so were not destroyed... read more here... http://cms.firehouse.com/content/article/a...46&id=36306

Health care professionals have known for a long time that common diseases - heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - and even rare diseases - like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia - can run in families. If one generation of a family has high blood pressure, it is not unusual for the next generation to have similarly high blood pressure. Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and other blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you may be at risk and take action to keep you and your family healthy.

Please pray also for all the troops fighting this day! The National Guard, 3rd Battalion, 178th Field Artillery unit from my hometown is fighting in Falluja (sp?) My minister's son is in this unit... There have already been some lives lost in this battle and prayers are needed asking God to put a protective shield around the others who are serving to protect us! And if you haven't thanked a veteran... please do so!

"Seasoned" is right... WELL seasoned... I would guess that I'm the Grandma on MrsSurvival... so y'all have to be very patient with me... but, they say "You're only as old as you feel", and I don't feel as old as I am...

Thanks Cat...It took a little while for me to figure it out but I finally got in and posted two pictures... Gosh! You have a great place for us to put things... I hope you know how much you are appreciated on MrsSurvival... Thanks for all that you do!!!
