I am trying to shut down the computer or change to another thread before he comes back in.  He will be highly offended by your remark and may take it out on me.  My arms are already scarred from his overzealous playful biting.  I would hate to see him when he is really ticked.

He would be cute with a little itty bitty dog sled, but you don't have any snow do ya?

[larryJ]

You should see him with his coat on.  Nope, no snow here.  In fact, I had to look the word up in the dictionary.  Right next to the word was a map of Delaware.

  We do have our moments, but usually don't get big bomber blizzards. 4-6 inches is pretty common. We escaped much of anything last winter.

My son opted to attend Bryant College in Rhode Island his freshman year.  That year Rhode Island received 107 inches of snow.  Being a Southern California boy born and raised next to some of the best beaches in the world, he chose to come home to a school here for the rest of his college career.

Today's--------------------------------------his mother didn't raise no dummies


A police recruit had done well on his written exams and now he was sailing through his final interview.  The captain saved the toughest question for last.

"What would you do," he asked, peering over the rim of his glasses, "if you had to arrest your own mother?"

The recruit stiffened; thought for a second, then answered.

"Call for backup."

I was being facetious.

I first saw her in the 1963 war movie, The Victors, and again in A Shot in the Dark the next year.

She was a heart throb. Seems like yesterday.
