Three people (DS is 23) on $3.50 only because the soup was 70 cents and the pork steaks were a dollar apiece.lol. Now that sounds like a good meal! guess what we are making in the next few days - seeiing we have eeverything on hand to make it!

Lori is the main reseach person at work (librarian) she gets calls from all over the USA with people doing genealogy and sometimes they even come here looking for places and she helps they do that too (like local cemeteries). The Library has a lot of the old records and local newspapers too.

*- You go shopping and are looking at plastic pails when someone else comes by and grabs one - turns to friend and says, " I need this to put my garden potting soil in so it will stay dry." And you think to yourself, "OH! they are NOT just for Preps or Bob's?"

*- During a big storm at night all the power goes out in the area, and your home is glowing in light.

Good for you and GREAT for her !

Hint - go to yard sale. . . . buy cheap spoons and things. . . . give them to kids ! I know they still will use yours

And by the way, if anyone is wondering...it was me that warned her about "adult" jokes being posted. Oh I do agree with you there by Adult I didn't mean 'Adult' just that sometimes the topics do get good and people vent a bit but that is CLEAN compared to so many other forums - some are down right gross! That is only one of many reasons we like this one! And Yes the one paying the bills has the right to do and say whatever (kiss,kiss).

this forum is a lot better then somewe have seen but it is a adult forum none the less not a family one per say. Glad to have her around (loved her jokes) and we are careful what we post too - but. . .

oh goody . . . . more old jokes coming back

posted in 2003 and it is still funny
