Oh Goodie... two days in a row of an "OH NO" thread... I love it! Love your list Lori (thanks for HTML Help, BTW)...

:)

Clever & pretty.. thank you!

Both you & Billie have set a precedent.. we now can all develop our "oh, no" thoughts & have it in reserve.Mine will for sure have watching _____ (various movies)

Still lovely here 70s but hear we might have snow this weekend. sigh. I haven't burned my two big piles yet. Thought I would wait until before the rain to put it out safely. We have NOT had rain /snow for weeks & all is dry. I would hate to set ablaze the entire national park in my back yard (and pay the fine)

I normally do not eat breakfast but will make scratch pancakes this AM I think.. Last night's meal of Captain Morgans/tonic & some cheese left a bit of a void in my tummy this AM.

Have a good day all.. will look for you all later. Til then here are two pix for you of your state leader "The Arnold"... I miss him in movies.

A disappointed soft drink salesman returned from his Middle East assignment. His boss asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?"

The salesman explained, "When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very sure to make a good sales pitch as our product was virtually unknown there. I didn't know to speak Arabic, so I planned to convey the message through 3 posters. My first poster was a man crawling through the hot desert sand, totally exhausted and panting. Second, the man is drinking our soft drink and third, our man is now totally refreshed. Then these posters were pasted all over the place"

"That should have worked," said the boss.

The salesman replied, "Well, not only did I not speak Arabic but I didn't realize that Arabs read from right to left."

Thank you, and you're welcome. You are a REALLY fast learner, I hardly remember the lessons. ;-)

I guess I should admit that I actually haven't helped you at all with html......and that is a GOOD thing. LOL! Dutchess can attest to the fact that I tend to go into just a wee bit too much detail when trying to explain something. I've been known to take a fairly simple concept and complicate it beyond all comprehension. LOL. The teaching is best left to the 'other' sistahs. ;-)

Don't know if you have heard, but our beleaguered Governor has come under fire recently and is losing popularity fast here - if the polls are correct. He has taken on the failing educational system and has riled up the very powerful teacher's union. His plan is to reward the good teachers and get rid of the bad ones. Sounds like a good plan to me. But, heaven forbid a bad teacher should ever be fired. Between that and his attempts to balance the budget here, he has got them running scared. We are hearing anti-Schwarzenegger ads on our local radio station daily. I sure hope he hangs tough. He has a rough road ahead of him and there is a lot at stake.

Have a good day, sistah.
