LOL
Thanks, Dubya. Love it.
There really are some sure signs you are growing older:
--You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
--You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
--You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
--You sing along with elevator music.
--Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.
--Your back goes out more than you do.
--Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
--Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service.
--Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
--You read lists like this and murmur, "How true!"
John Wayne, famous American actor and film icon, once said, “Talk low, talk slow, and don’t say too much.” His advice is hard for me to follow since I’m a fast talker and I don’t always speak quietly or limit my words. However, this idea of controlling our speech can be a useful tool when dealing with anger. The Bible says we are supposed to be “slow to speak” (James 1:19), and that “a soft answer turns away wrath” (Prov. 15:1).
Gideon gave a soft answer during a verbal scuffle with some fellow Israelites (Judg. 8). Just after his army defeated the Midianites, a group of his countrymen criticized him sharply (v.1). They were miffed because they missed out on the main part of the battle. Gideon did not fling back a rough response. Instead, he reminded them that they had captured and killed the Midianite princes. He also honored the men by asking, “What was I able to do in comparison with you?” Finally, “their anger toward him subsided when he said that” (v.3).
With the Lord’s help, we can defuse heated situations by reining in our words. Responding gently and carefully to angry people can promote unity, for God’s glory.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
This was teenie’s beautiful little blue-eyed girl and she asked for volunteers last night to frame it for her. I was happy to do it for her ‘cause she’s such a beauty. I also hit the post button twice evidently and have asked for one to be removed. Stuff happens sometimes though!
Enjoy teenie’s little girl!
Without them what would little boys do?
Indeed, and the same goes "what would little girls do?" LOL!
I have much to do today, and one of them is taking Roscoe to see the vet - he's feeling listless and sneezing and wheezing and it worries me. He just had his checkup a couple of weeks ago and all the annual immunizations.
Thank you, Billie!
Take care of Roscoe first. These babies must be treated when they’re sick. Hope its nothing serious and he gets better soon!
wow what a beautiful little face!!!!!
Lovely Opening!!
“Without them what would little boys do?”
*sigh*
Mental image: “I gots a frog!”* -covered in horrific amounts of mud and somewhatmud.
She is a beauty, Dolly. It was teenie’s graphic that she posted yesteday and she asked for volunteers last night to frame it and I raised my hand....LOL! I was glad to frame it for her.
Thank you!!!!
But little girls are so impressed by the little frog and taken with the little boy who caught it. LOL!
Awwww...shucks~~~~

Sometimes!
My sis caught frogs, and snakes, so she was always scaring her gradeschool classmates.
Jaycee, your frame is a lovely addition to Teenie’s graphic!

Good job, Jaycee! :)
LOL! I’ve played in plenty of dirt but I guess if I had seen a frog....I may have run. Wish I could go back to those days many years ago and I would get me a frog!
Id rather be there or at the beach! Thats a lovely scene you posted, Meg.
Love that song. Not long ago I posted another little girl with the same title as today and I included that lovely song by Maurice Chevalier. (hope the spelling is correct)....such a sweet song.
Thank you for the compliment, I’ve been waiting on Teenie!
Thank you!
Little boy walked up to my sis in school, handed her a frog and then waited for her to scream.
Instead she went, “Isn’t it cute?!” and began rubbing the frog on the head and making it pull its eyes back into its head.
The boy goes, “Eeeew, you’re GROSS!” and then runs away.
Well, sis tried to give him his frog back.
She got detention for chasing a boy with a frog.
Gooood story!
I first thought maybe the frog turned into a prince....LOL!
Sis also got detention for retrieving a little garden snake and putting it in the woods.
You see, some kids and a teacher had a snake encircled in the grass.
And they were all screaming.
[Sis said the male teacher had the girliest scream of the bunch.]
Well, she marched through their circle, said “It’s just a snake”, picked it up and transported it to the treeline.
Well, she embarrassed the shrieking male teacher, so she got detention.
By the way, I checked your homepage and I’m going to sue you....LOL!
Yeah, I had a humorous page up for a very long time.
But it was old and I needed a new page.
And unfortuntely I can’t think of anything to put there.
So I have a placeholder instead.
Until I think of something.
She is lovely! :)
I've got to teach myself to do these things! (Maybe!..lol)
I remember a little incident that happened to me. I think it was either the 6th or 7th grade. I was taking an art class and the teacher provided us objects to look at and try to draw that particular object. My object was a small vase and I was drawing and trying to do good, when I accidentally knocked the vase to the ground and it broke of course.
That alone scared me but the teacher yelled at me and scolded me in front of everyone. My feelings were so hurt, plus I was scared to death. She told me that she was notifying my parents and that vase would have to be replaced or paid for. I really didn't understand what a vase like that would cost. Things were hard back then and I didn't know if it was an expensive vase or what. I was dreading going home that day.
But I had wonderful parents and when I told them my side of the story, they were very upset with the teacher. My mother called her and sorta gave her a piece of her mind for treating me like a criminal.
The moral of the story is "THAT'S WHY I'M NOT AN ARTIST TODAY! LOL! Just think, I could have been a famous artist!
You are most welcome, teenie. I was happy to do it. I did it last night and transferred it to an email page until I got ready to post it today! I’ve been waiting for you to come on and have been looking for ‘wake up graphics’.....LOL!
That little girl has gotten lots of compliments.
NICE!! :)
Get Better, SOON!
Hello! I think we all would!!! LOL!
LOL is for.... it'll never happen, but fun to dream!!
I draw now and then, once in awhile I write short stories.
Been wrestling with four different stories, all of them vying for my attention like unruly children.
Had a kid try to stab me with a pencil in fifth or sixth grade.
Instead I received the empire number 2 point in my forearm.
Well, when I asked to go to the nurse the teacher asked if it was important.
So I showed her my arm with the tip of the pencil sticking out of it.
She ended up near laying on the floor looking green, so I took that as a yes.
I still have bits of that pencil point in my arm.
We love art here at Amy’s Place and same for short stories or poetry! You must get busy and share with us sometime in the future.
Re: the pencil in your arm. Did the kid who did it get talked to or anything?
Just think, you could be suffering from lead poisoning...LOL!
Bet we all have a million stories to tell, don’t you?
The kid who stabbed my arm didn’t get talked to at all.
Basically the admin made excuses because he was transferred to them from a school called Thunder Mountain [or similar] where the students were of the emotionally problematic sort.
So they felt they had to, for whatever reason, defend him.
He was terrified of me for the rest of the school year.
Empire number 2 pencil lead had the unique ability to melt when heated by heat registers, lightbulbs, or lighters.
Most of what I’ve written lately has been posted in snippets inside the Undead Thread.
So it’s all littered across multiple threads stretching back across the forum.
~~At Amy's Place~~
