Hey guys!! Guess what?

Whatcha think... huh? **(Hey Chery... we won something! But I don't think it is money?)

Well done stringer!!
Rebby you sound like you could use a laugh ;)
NEW ZEALAND POLICE...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD
A cop from the NZ Police was watching for speeders, but wasn't getting many.
Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD.'
The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money ( And we used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in the Manawatu with a Fine of $160 included.
Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $160
The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST
A young woman was pulled over for speeding.
As a NZ Policeman walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Policemen's Ball.'
He replied, 'The New Zealand Policemen don't have balls.'
There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said.
He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left.
She was laughing too hard to start her car.
Thank you ma'am. :)Quote:

I wish I could tune in and contribute more often. I will in a week or so... I feel so behind!
Congratulations stringer! You must have had one hell of a decorated house! Must have been fun!
And thanks again, M, for the jokes. After 5 hours of homework, that helped:). Finally, Friday is here! AND, I have Monday off! 3 day weekend, I can finally sleep!
Anyway, I've got to sleep now, for however long I can... Get ready for tomorrow... Glad to see you are doing well, and I'll talk to you later! (hopefully sooner than later :)) Probably over at the castle :)
Night!
Thanks again M... good ones.Quote:

Well, we took them all down yesterday, but Chery and I have pictures.
Can't wait until next year too. Now I am enthused about Christmas, I enjoy decorating for that holiday also... Unless we go to Florida this year?
You always do Angel!!Quote:

I needed a good laugh too! Boy did I need a good laugh! They both made me laugh Batman, even though I've seen the ones in the last one, I still think they're funny. I have my faves. In fact I was going to put a couple of them in my tag lines before, but I forgot. I guess that would apply to #15 LOL! I also can definitely relate to #'s! 2,3,4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 22, 27, 28, and drumroll... 29!. and that's just today! LOL!
Starby, are you sure we aren't related some way?? LOL We identify with way too many of these!! I would have had to type most of them, as I said but some twice. LOL
Sorry Rebby, I got talking away to Alty. Yeah... most of them sure made sense to me... LOL
Where has our Momma been? Come back Momma! We miss you!
I've been a bit concerned about Sweet Chery myself. It has been quiet in my mail box from her... hmmmm, that doesn't really make sense but it has been a long day! You know what I mean. LOL You take care. I think I need to hit the bed but you call if you need me in the night just to vent or share or hear a friend's voice. I wake up easy!! :)
Thanks my sweet Rebby girl. I'll be okay! You get yourself some sleep my girl. The same stuff will still be here tomorrow right? ;) Thanks for calling early hon. I really appreciated that. I felt better after we talked! :) Go and get yourself some rest!
I just now came across this thread. How in the heck did I miss it? My thoughts and prayers are with Chery and her family.
Chery, I have posted with you a couple of times and it constantly amazes me that with all that you have gone through yourself that you still have it in you to help someone else with your excellent advice. So many other people would have given up and focused on themselves. That is what makes you a one of kind - there is no one else like you.
I just wish that I would have come across this thread a LOT sooner.
