For those who love the philosophy of ambiguity

1st things 1st... I am posting this in a blog so my dad will see it too!

2nd... the definition of ambiguity for those who may be wondering ...
(Found via Google)...
Ambiguity is the property of being ambiguous, where a word, term, notation, sign, symbol, phrase, sentence, or any other form used for communication, is called ambiguous... (Side note... That alone is hilarious!!)... Anyway what it really means is... if it can be interpreted in more than one way.

3rd... My mom doesn't usually email forward much ... but when she does... you can believe it's a doozie... & the following is NO exception!!! Thanks Mom... I laughed so hard that I'm still coughing!!  (FYI... That's a family thing... we laugh so hard we cry & then cough!! LOL!!)

It just won't be the same

The fly overs will just not be the same anymore... Our local Air National Guard is loosing there C130's... & will be replaced with C27J Spartan's...

The 179th Airlift Wing's new rides won't arrive until 2012 or 2013... so in the meantime they're will be flying C-21 Learjets.

See, what the problem is that at least once or twice a week we would hear the low rumble from 2 of the C130's fly over our house... I remember when they'd fly over the farm too.

Our next door neighbor, I believe, is a pilot... so, next time I see him, I'll have to see what he thinks of his new ride! (Hubby just told me that our neighbor will be retiring before all this takes place... I'll still talk to him about it... maybe! LOL)

Friday Five - Commercial Jingles from the Past

The list I did last week about movies... is from the Friday Five group... I joined & now I'll get to do more of these. It's a public group, if you want to join... click on their name that I've linked.

Here is this week's challenge...

Remember when you were a kid and those crafty marketers got all those jingles stuck in your head..."He's a honeycomb kid, givin' all he's got.." "If you believe in Peanut Butter Clap your hands..." Remember those? I noticed that today's commercials for kids and adults alike are all action, no jingles....Poor jingle writers sitting lonely in their Glendale homes obsessing over their great cereal campaigns. So...give us 5 of your favorite jingles that you remember growing up with!

1. Don't squeeze the Charmin.
2. Give it to Mikey, he will eat anything. He likes it... Mikey likes it! (Life Cereal).
3. They'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Great! (Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal)
4. Plop, Plop, Fiz, Fiz... oh what a relief it is. (Alka-Seltzer)
5. Good to the last drop! (Maxwell House)

Those are the 1st 5 I could think of... what do you remember???

What's up with you

Let's see... I have been playing around with my group, The Last Word... We have been having a blast over there! (If your a Multiply member... come check it out!!)

Yes, I did get the new phone yesterday! YIPEE!! It's sweet! (In case you missed it... the LG Chocolate I had was having glitches & I was able to exchange it for the LG enV2!!!)

Grandma is doing ok... She gave us another scare the other day... her blood pressure was 90 over 30! Yeah... that's INCREDIBLY LOW!! I've had 80 over 50 before... but not any lower. However, I usually run a low reading. Grandma has / had HIGH blood pressure... so much they had her on medicine... but the Hospice nurse said don't give her anymore.

Her lungs sounded clear yesterday & she was getting the much needed sleep. She had kept my sister Gina up most of the night before... & during the day she was confused to what was going on. She even was going through everything & tried to give it away to the day nurse. Yes, she has Alzheimer's. Just keep her in your prayers.

On a different note... over the weekend one of hubby's buddy's was having a garage sale & had some stuff toys that didn't sell... They gave us our pick... For the dogs to tear up! So, I picked out the 10 that I thought would be best. Sunny already has one teddy bear torn apart. I will try to get some pictures up on their blog with a couple of the toys... A couple of them are a bit big & are funny to watch the dogs sniff & try to attack them!

Oh yeah... and the other day... when I had them out... Coleman tried to chase after a dog that was walking by... but since he was on a leash he didn't get far... however... the spring inside that winds the leash back up broke! So, now we have just been using the one we use for Sunny... She's good without it... only problem is the neighbors had "friends" over tonight... & they were out there goading her to run over there... Thankfully she just stood in our driveway & gave them a bark like, "Eh, you want a piece of me? Maybe tomorrow!" & with that she turned back to the door & was ready to go inside! LOL!

It's the last day of July... just means Fall is just that much closer! I can't wait! This heat & humidity is terrible... I stay indoors 99% of the time! I really don't know how hubby can stand to work in this! Ok... ok... I know, I know... it's not near as bad as some of you have it... just keep in mind... I CAN'T STAND THE HEAT!! What's strange though... I used to love Summer... NOT ANYMORE!!!

I think that does it for now. Have a GREAT weekend!!

Just for fun... again

You Are Cereal

Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day. (In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.) Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food. Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.

What Kind of Breakfast Are You?
