I've missed y'all!!! I<br />I know....I know.....according to my last post I was suppose to do so much better at keeping up with my blog. But damness, what's a chicky to do? Between work, PTO Board, trying to keep up on face book, help the girls with their homework, trying to keep the house in order, the clothes washed & food on the table...I kinda run outta time to post. Anyone with any good ideas, how I can manage my time better....let me know!!! I'm ALL ears to any suggestions you might have.<br />Both girlies did VERY WELL last quarter in school!!! Miss Kaitlynd was all A's & Miss Kailee was A's & high B's!!! Big Daddy & I, are both proud of the girlies & how well they are doing in school. Now if I can just get them to keep their room clean...LOL<br />Between them, the dogs, the cat & Big Daddy I sometimes wonder why I even bother!!! LOL<br /><br />Even though this is a few months old....I just had to share with y'all how cute my great niece is....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-ZwwkYsszJ27br_utTdnwPHDPqhyphenhyphensh6lsD1RrScBcBrKoaPQMeCFK6kgqmlh-Wc8IXaI2FFzi6WjhcQjV4Uii5bn1qshfVT1WGTD5JQmN6jJ4i8kP3RlpW8Hyqk9Xh6MzTK-8BAKZtuN/s1600-h/isabellaage2months+128.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 287px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-ZwwkYsszJ27br_utTdnwPHDPqhyphenhyphensh6lsD1RrScBcBrKoaPQMeCFK6kgqmlh-Wc8IXaI2FFzi6WjhcQjV4Uii5bn1qshfVT1WGTD5JQmN6jJ4i8kP3RlpW8Hyqk9Xh6MzTK-8BAKZtuN/s400/isabellaage2months+128.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315384468236658034" border="0" /></a>I may be a little biased....but she is sooooo...

I tried and tried to talk her out of it, but she was adamant about wanting her hair cut....so after about 1 1/2 months of her badgering me....*sighs*....I gave in & cut it. It's just at her shoulders & I hafta admit....it's very CUTE on her!!! Only thing is....it makes my baby look older....*pouts* As soon as I get Big Daddy in gear, I'll have him download the pics I took of her, so I can share with y'all. Not to worry....Kailee still has her long hair & has NO DESIRE to cut it! Then again....Kailee is my Prima-donna!<br /><br />Will honestly make a BIG EFFORT to keep up on my blog!!!<br />Love Y'all!!!<br /><br />XOXOXOXO<br />Trac<br /><br /></span>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-20047684267897201452009-01-25T16:31:00.002-06:002009-01-25T16:46:27.761-06:00What's Goin' On.....So I know I haven't been around much lately.....but as we all know, life just happens to get in the way at times.<br /><br />So in between the holidays & keeping myself busy with the girls at school....I had been looking for a job. I had actually gone on a couple of interviews & taken a couple of assessment test & still hadn't heard anything. I was beginning to lose hope, when one of the many jobs I had applied for, I got a call on. I went & interviewed for Mobile Memorial Gardens (cemetery) as a receptionist & was offered the job! So I am now working part-time 9-3, M-F....which works out well, because I can still drop the girls off in the morning & pick them up in the afternoon. So far it hasn't been too bad. I really enjoy the people I work with & I couldn't ask for better hours. Thus being the reason I haven't been around lately.<br /><br />I really am hoping now that I am starting to get back into the swing of things & getting myself & my time organized I can do a better job at posting. Well, at least we can hope!!!Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-56540289686723848432008-11-27T10:14:00.004-06:002008-11-27T10:19:45.289-06:00Gobble...Gobble....<a

I honestly think that the older I get, the faster time seems to travel! So how many of you out there are pretty much done with your shopping? Anyone? Anyone? Brauers? Nope....not here. Every year I tell myself, "Self you're not going to wait until the last minute to do your shopping!" And every year.....at the last minute....me, myself & I go out shopping!!! Must be the adrenaline rush!?!?! Ya' know....me & a few hundred of my closest friends running through the stores....yeah that's it....the camaraderie of being with the other procrastinators of the world that gets me going! So I guess, if any of ya' out there are like me....don't forget to smile & wave as we pass each other through the stores!Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-62398445785518851252008-11-14T08:22:00.004-06:002008-11-14T09:16:40.386-06:00Friday Funnies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6IwYgtFWtc0fiK1cUA1E3Bi9TYGfV_V6yjcu9SNophEwhcKh78uXzKw3JlatV1CFOBRE_FPcEhYLDFBjprys3JB6MOMUOr6Eptwfdr8ekWFIG0P3f7U0qMAobuGgBoBpBe4GXhK8Xh8lQ/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268532349209560946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 330px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6IwYgtFWtc0fiK1cUA1E3Bi9TYGfV_V6yjcu9SNophEwhcKh78uXzKw3JlatV1CFOBRE_FPcEhYLDFBjprys3JB6MOMUOr6Eptwfdr8ekWFIG0P3f7U0qMAobuGgBoBpBe4GXhK8Xh8lQ/s400/untitled.bmp" border="0" /></a> **************************<br /><div>A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple<br />Bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his<br />Throat.<br />Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened.<br /><br />"Well, it was like this," said the man.

None were buying lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. 'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in Iraq; it's almost like you are doing it for him.'<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated.

'This is your thanks.'<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room.

When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand, and said, 'I want to shake your hand.'<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs.

Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base.

Oh where, oh where is she?<br /><br />Good news.....she's baaaaccck! Sorry I've been MIA lately, but between being sick, having surgery, making costumes for the girls, recovering from surgery, PTO stuff, becoming an 'AVON Lady' & just everyday life in general....I've had my hands somewhat full.....and from the looks of it, I don't see it slowing down anytime soon!<br /><br />Surgery went well, was in & out the same day. Still a little tender in areas, but for the most part feeling GREAT! Which is a good thing.....cuz' I was really sick of being sick!!!<br /><br />The girls are doing good! They both love school & enjoy being right across the hall from one another. Kaitlynd made all A's this past quarter & Kailee made all A's with one very high B. They both were on 'honor roll' & Kailee also received the 'Citizenship Award' for her class! Peter & I are both so very proud of the girls. They are also involved in the 'Daisies' which is basically 'Girl Scouts' for their age. As a matter of fact they will be having their 'investiture' (ceremony welcoming them to the Daisies) this Saturday.<br /><br />Peter, has been keeping himself busy with work & now that football season is here, so is his <a href="http://steelers.com/">Steeler</a>-itis. There is NO talking to Big Daddy when his team is on! So much so, that he has now made his daughter a fan! She puts on her <a href="http://steelers.com/">Steeler</a> jersey, just like her daddy & refers to them as her team.....& occasionally will even watch a bit of the game with him.

She calls on little MARK.<br />He replies, 'None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot.'<br />The teacher replies, 'The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.'<br />Then little MARK says, 'I have a question for YOU. There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream.<br />The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. <br />Which one is married?' The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, 'Well, I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.' To which Little MARK replied, 'The correct answer is 'the one with the Wedding ring on,' but I like your thinking.'<br /><br /><strong>LITTLE MARK ON MATH</strong> Little MARK returns from school and says he got an F in arithmetic . 'Why?' asks the father? 'The teacher asked 'How much is 2x3,'' I said '6', replies MARK. 'But that's right!' says his dad. 'Yeah, but then she asked me 'How much is 3x2?'' 'What's the ****ing difference?' asks the father 'That's what I said!'<br /><br /><strong>LITTLE MARK ON ENGLISH</strong><br />Little MARK goes to school, and the teacher says, 'Today we are going to learn multi-syllable words, class. Does anybody have an example of a multi-syllable word?' MARK says 'Mas-tur-bate.' Miss Rogers smiles and says, 'Wow, little MARK, that's a mouthful.' Little MARK says, 'No, Miss Rogers, you're thinking of a blowjob.'<br /><br /><strong>LITTLE MARK ON GRAMMAR<br /></strong>Little MARK was sitting in class one day. All of a sudden, he needed to go to the bathroom. He yelled out, 'Miss Jones, I need to take a piss!!' The teacher replied, 'Now, MARK, that is NOT the proper word to use in this situation. The correct word you want to use is 'urinate.'<br />Please use the word 'ur-I-nate' in a sentence correctly, and I will allow You to go.' Little MARK, thinks for a bit, and then says, 'You're an eight', but if you had bigger tits, you'd be a TEN!<br /> <br /><strong>LITTLE MARK ON GRAMMAR</strong> <br />One day, during lessons on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use the word 'beautiful' in the same sentence twice. First, she called! On little Suzie, who responded with, 'My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it.' 'Very good, Suzie,' replied the teacher. She then called on little Michael. 'My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully.' She said, 'Excellent, Michael!'<br />Then the teacher reluctantly called on little MARK.<br />'Last night at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was Pregnant, and he said 'Beautiful, just fucking beautiful!''<br /><br /><strong>LITTLE MARK ON GETTING OLDER</strong><br />Little MARK was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another.<br />After the 6th one, a man on the bench across from him said, 'Son, you know eating all that candy isn't good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat.' Little MARK replied, 'My grandfather lived to be 107 years old..' The man asked, 'Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?'<br />Little MARK answered, 'No, he minded his own ****ing business.<br /><br /><strong>I LOVE Little MARK!!!!!</strong>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-76622967587684564872008-10-09T08:31:00.004-05:002008-10-09T08:46:58.179-05:00This Year.....With the way things are this year....I might try this one out myself!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO3Px0S3BIh11T7g94GISFNlMM2kuLdGzHMe9hH52CcUhrzgztD934WYmgSCjomhJqSdpjt6n3QJFgdu0i5ZhEKDDZQ6SHIqOKcxYenrLwcl4nxhkTd3sspUgqyAEXdrdKmKGOP5jngs8G/s1600-h/nocandy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO3Px0S3BIh11T7g94GISFNlMM2kuLdGzHMe9hH52CcUhrzgztD934WYmgSCjomhJqSdpjt6n3QJFgdu0i5ZhEKDDZQ6SHIqOKcxYenrLwcl4nxhkTd3sspUgqyAEXdrdKmKGOP5jngs8G/s400/nocandy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255149415284139042" border="0" /></a>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-52056962415881835052008-10-06T14:17:00.003-05:002008-10-06T14:28:07.944-05:00Surgery Update<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsV3c7b4AH_idxjjlywwzRPMrefljgD1TIqjlnps4KU1LMBLOGfMclHh6CKThwuvlDJWpHW-UR1qWh6ecyIHoQfhRZLeoPOQfa3dEA7o0ndNCkQ5ymknVS-aEPn53GrBDjV7M9Ty8hAhtF/s1600-h/15140.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254123605232259986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsV3c7b4AH_idxjjlywwzRPMrefljgD1TIqjlnps4KU1LMBLOGfMclHh6CKThwuvlDJWpHW-UR1qWh6ecyIHoQfhRZLeoPOQfa3dEA7o0ndNCkQ5ymknVS-aEPn53GrBDjV7M9Ty8hAhtF/s400/15140.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well, my surgery is scheduled for 10-17 at 7:00 in the morning.

I was experiencing nausea, dry heaves, fatigue.....nope NOT pregnant. All the symptoms, but NOT!!! When I realized that I wasn't pregnant, but was still having symptoms I decided to make an appointment with my doctor. Went it, explained the symptoms & the good doctor had me take a pregnancy test (just to be safe) & also sent me for a full bloodwork up. Well after getting the results of my tests, NOT PREGNANT & finding out that my liver enzymes were elevated......he then sent me back for some additional blood work. When I went in for the results, he explained to me that he thought that I might have had Hepatitis A. I explained to him that I had HA years ago when I worked at a preschool. We then went through the 'could be's' & decided it was in my best interest to send me for an abdominal ultra sound. Meanwhile, I get this major sinus infection & this thing pops up on my lower back. So I go back to see the doctor yesterday & he tells me I have gallstones.....hence the reason I've been so sick. So after writing me a prescription for my sinuses, an antibiotic for everything else & setting an appointment to talk with the surgeon for Friday, I think I might actually be on the road to recovery....or at least I hope so!!! I'll know more about the surgery come Friday afternoon, will be sure to keep y'all posted. Until then.....send me HAPPY THOUGHTS!!!</div>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-38605730557288452812008-10-01T09:21:00.003-05:002008-10-01T09:24:05.771-05:00Wordless Wednesday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwKMarz3fo_g1cePuFQoAN8w2gzfYJW9oZ_JCwNrizMRnOBfbnqQ2G2wiU9UtSmJmSvMzlzH0z4VdDHkeDpNDzK70VGCnLRt27RA0GkGtpNkDTDyPZAXTKdC9Ye-bpg71dXCEe3U7-NPP/s1600-h/Photos+147+(2).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252191018692819810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwKMarz3fo_g1cePuFQoAN8w2gzfYJW9oZ_JCwNrizMRnOBfbnqQ2G2wiU9UtSmJmSvMzlzH0z4VdDHkeDpNDzK70VGCnLRt27RA0GkGtpNkDTDyPZAXTKdC9Ye-bpg71dXCEe3U7-NPP/s400/Photos+147+(2).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJv50OUhKuUbq5tRplFrBrY3VXoEdTabcia4Sqhmxn5Jq_lCnZX6m6wizltm2kc4tcViNK7Oh4E9Hk4K32YXnQpS2cB4Oyf-GtqosROkJqJluHtprAy1kwG6zEkhYy4WDQ-c1cJwWHf2B/s1600-h/Photos+141+(2).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252190760407727170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJv50OUhKuUbq5tRplFrBrY3VXoEdTabcia4Sqhmxn5Jq_lCnZX6m6wizltm2kc4tcViNK7Oh4E9Hk4K32YXnQpS2cB4Oyf-GtqosROkJqJluHtprAy1kwG6zEkhYy4WDQ-c1cJwWHf2B/s400/Photos+141+(2).jpg" border="0" /></a> Okay....so one word.....PRECIOUS!!!!<br /><br /><div></div></div>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-42632386510654050982008-09-29T08:25:00.003-05:002008-09-29T08:32:15.822-05:00Isabella Grace<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYIPpraAAbcuNQq7PDbN6tufKXZ8sTnwTkwSvCEIx8aJQRMBAycMvHS1g7vwY-N9gr3eJGWXX8-XpmjsIF4DHuddaQZtF4Ysgh0QCNNJb_UhqlWhbAkzR8rLYAk1QGLZdLmUCtzfvkyCRt/s1600-h/Photos+091.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251434600654663954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYIPpraAAbcuNQq7PDbN6tufKXZ8sTnwTkwSvCEIx8aJQRMBAycMvHS1g7vwY-N9gr3eJGWXX8-XpmjsIF4DHuddaQZtF4Ysgh0QCNNJb_UhqlWhbAkzR8rLYAk1QGLZdLmUCtzfvkyCRt/s400/Photos+091.jpg" border="0" /></a> Isabella Grace: 7lbs. 2oz, 19.5", Born at 7:36pm<br /><br /><div>So lately I've been battling being sick & am still dealing with a sinus infection, but this is just too good not to share!!!

Awe Schitt was married to O Schitt,<br />the fertilizer magnet and owner of Needeep N Schitt, Inc. they<br />had one son Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious<br />couple produced Six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull<br />Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.<br />Against her parents objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high<br />school Dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt<br />divorced. Noe Schitt Later married Ted Sherlock and because her kids were living with<br />them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.<br />Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a<br />rather nervous disposition who was nick-named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other<br />six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout<br />childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.<br />The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens<br />nuptials the Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.<br />Bull Schitt, the prodical son, left home to tour the world.

But now we're having to keep an ear & eye open for Hurricane Hannah & the possibility of Ike right behind her. So far just lots of rain, wind & a few power outages. The school district closed schools today due to the continuing rain & wind, but hopefully that is suppose to decrease by this evening.Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-47714172086743654252008-08-31T09:30:00.002-05:002008-08-31T09:39:34.525-05:00Watching & WaitingSince moving to Alabama, the Brauers' Bunch will be having their first 'adventure' with a hurricane. Coming from California, I'm kinda at a loss, not knowing really what to expect! From everything I'm seeing & hearing on the local news, we're in for some really bad weather at the very least. Hopefully that will be the extent of our experience with Gustav. <br /><br />Not knowing what we're going to experience please keep us all in your thoughts & prayers.....include those in the surrounding areas that were effected by Katina, 3 years ago.Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-37923511551950590882008-08-29T08:48:00.003-05:002008-08-29T09:07:00.285-05:00Friday Funnies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmRAr3z0ykHAE0Uv0EDSF38bBoglWOvuz84ZzXM_a6h_McaGmhdj2PzPTHrdBOFVzUeMzl1xXBHKnm03hYON8OvwH4kxoibDZkLO4vlAV3ROVye3brrVhg3QuJerY6sht-9hLlRUbhDOb/s1600-h/4146.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239940843019178178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmRAr3z0ykHAE0Uv0EDSF38bBoglWOvuz84ZzXM_a6h_McaGmhdj2PzPTHrdBOFVzUeMzl1xXBHKnm03hYON8OvwH4kxoibDZkLO4vlAV3ROVye3brrVhg3QuJerY6sht-9hLlRUbhDOb/s400/4146.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong>THE NORMAL LIFE SPAN EXPLAINED<br /></strong><br />On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed.<br /><br />On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed.<br /><br />On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God agreed again.<br /><br />On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.' But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?' 'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'<br /><br />So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.<br />For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family.<br />For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.<br />And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.<br /><br />Life has now been explained to you.<br />There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.</div>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992184725390187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587129606981986190.post-29053160745638398032008-08-27T09:21:00.005-05:002008-08-28T11:44:52.404-05:00Answers....<span style="font-family:verdana;">Here are the answers to the trivia questions from yesterday!<br /><br /><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math";
