Aloha and Yehaa - I'm back on the mainland. Had a great trip to Hawaii, got to see my grandbaby as I reported. What a little sweetie! (Aren't they ALL?) Saw a lot of long time friends this time, and I am happy to report that despite the downturn in tourism and meetings, Hawaii people are generally optimistic. So I'm working on going back to do some more work soon (which is a REALLY great excuse to see my grandbaby again! )
Was going to post a pic or two, but alas, my laptop decided to have cardiac or logic board arrest in the middle of a powerpoint presentation. Too many trips through the XRay machine at TSA! So all the pics I had downloaded are gone (maybe temporarily... another excuse to go back and take more!)
There is ALWAYS a silver lining or two. 1) I get to buy a new laptop. 2) I get to have an excuse to go take more pics. 3) I have a legitimate reason for not responding to some of those emails I don't want to respond to ! 4) AND THIS IS THE BEST: I was talking to a TSA agent about it, she was curious what I do. I told her, and she took my card to see about getting me to do some work with them!!! It's all Good!
Except I've missed chatting with all of you. Who knew I'd feel so bereft after four days without computer access???
Life is good!
This too shall pass!
Keep Hope Alive!
Cheers!
Been a little while since I had time to check on you all - missed ya!
To get me caught up:
That cat was cool, I want one! Any critter that original has to be a whole lotta fun.
I loved the Irishman joke - that's the way to give up drinking.
Thanks for the positive feedback on my cakes and critters - appreciate it.
So, baby feet huh?? I am the very proud great auntie of a gorgeous baby girl, Maddie. My favorite are those great big brown eyes just taking it all in.
Well, gotta check out the other posts on our fabulous site. See you all soon.
Cute babies! Good thing human babies don't get up and walk around right after birth!! At least we get a few months reprieve before they run around and get into everything! LOL
So that's where all the geese went! We saw them flying north outta Phoenix a week or so ago.
Ok - Your Irish jokes for the day (I'm part Irish, so don't anybody get all PC on me...!) :
Irish Levity
Six retired Irishmen were playing poker in O'Leary's apartment when Paddy
Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, \clutches his chest, and drops dead at
the table. Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five
continue playing standing up.
Michael O'Connor looks around and asks, 'Well, me boys, someone got's to
tell Paddy's wife. Who will it be?' They draw straws. Paul Gallagher
picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a
bad situation any worse. 'Discreet??? I'm the most discreet Irishmen
you'll ever meet. Discretion is me middle name. Leave it to me.'
Gallagher goes over to Murphy's house and knocks on the > door. Mrs.
Murphy answers, and asks what he wants. Gallagher declares, 'Your husband
just lost $500, and is afraid to come home.'
'Tell him to drop dead!', says Murphy's wife. 'I'll go tell him.' says
Gallagher.
An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the
city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the
road. A cop pulls him over.
'So,' says the cop to the driver, 'where have ya been?' 'Why, I've been to
the pub of course,' slurs the drunk. 'Well,' says the cop, 'it looks like
you've had quite a few to drink this evening.' 'I did all right,' the drunk
says with a smile. 'Did you know,' says the cop, standing straight, and
folding his arms across his chest, ' that a few intersections back, your
wife fell out of your car?'
'Oh, thank heavens,' sighs the drunk.
'for a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf.'
************************************************** ******** Brenda O'Malley
is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.
'Brenda, may I come in?' he asks. 'I've somethin' to tell ya'.
'Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim.. But where's my
husband?' 'That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda. There was an
accident down at the Guinness brewery' 'Oh, God no!' cries Brenda. 'Please
don't tell me.' 'I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm
sorry. Finally, she looked up at Tim. 'How did it happen, Tim?' 'It was
terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout, and drowned.' 'Oh
my dear! But you must tell me true, Tim, did he at least go quickly?'
'Well, Brenda, no. In fact, he got out three times to pee.'
************************************************** ************
Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and
she's in tears. He says, 'So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?' She says,
'Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband passed away last night.' The
priest says, 'Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any
last requests?' She says, 'That he did, Father.' The priest says, 'What did
he ask, Mary?' 'She says, 'He said, 'Please Mary, put down that gun...' '
************************************************** ************
A drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, enters a confessional
booth, sits down, but says nothing. The Priest coughs a few times to get his
attention, but the dru nk continues to sit there. Finally, the Priest
pounds three times on the wall. The drunk mumbles, 'Ain't no use knockin,
there's no paper on this side either.'

Good to see you back Snowbird... I took a short hiatus from the forum too. I've been super busy... I'm taking classes, working full time, and I have to have some social time too!
One of my checks was returned marked "insufficient funds." In view of current developments in the banking industry, does that refer to me or to you?
Sincerely,
Your customer
