The Lounge Share A Joke! Sep 24 2009

A man goes to a bar with his dog. He goes up to the bar and asks for a drink. The bartender says "You can't bring that dog in here!" The guy, without missing a beat, says "This is my seeing-eye dog." "Oh man, " the bartender says, "I'm sorry, here, the first one's on me." The man takes his drink and goes to a table near the door.

Another guy walks in the bar with a Chihuahua. The first guys sees him, stops him and says "You can't bring that dog in here unless you tell him it's a seeing-eye dog." The second man graciously thanks the first man and continues to the bar. He asks for a drink. The bartender says "Hey, you can't bring that dog in here!"

The second man replies "This is my seeing-eye dog." The bartender says, "No, I don't think so. They do not have Chihuahua as seeing-eye dogs." The man pauses for a half-second and replies "What?!?! They gave me a Chihuahua?!?"

The Lounge GPS -Can anyone recommend? Sep 15 2009

We have used the mid priced Magellan and LOVE it (her name is "Madge") - accurate, lots of POIs, has only gotten a little turned around once that we know of.

We were given the lowest priced TomTom for Xmas, and HATE it  (he's not worthy of naming).   It's forever taking us bad routes.  Waits until the last second to tell you to turn (he seems to "forget" the 1/2 mile warning a lot), always thinks we are on the access road next to the interstate instead of on the interstate itself.  And don't get me started on POIs.  You can be staring at 5 gas stations and TomTom tells you the next station is 3 miles down the road.

Whatever you decide, I highly recommend you get the kind that does actually say the street name instead of just saying right turn in XXX yards.   Sometimes streets are really close together and you don't know which one it means.  Let's just say our trip into New Orleans was a GPS induced nightmare.

I had a cat named George until he had kittens.  Do you think that he minded that we called him Georgette after that?

 heehee- Phil turned into Liz for the same reason - only cat in 20 years I was wrong about. 

back to the subject, my horse Lacy's pet peeve is when my hubby feeds the out of the pecking order.  If he tries to feed Maggie or Diamond first, she'll try to bite him on the way by her stall.

it's not just good, it's GREAT that it looks like we may have an early fall this year down here (crosses fingers, knocks on wood). The weather is BEAUTIFUL today.  Two weeks in a row we've had record low temps in the morning and super low humidity (at least for us) which makes 90 degrees actually bearable.

My husband took our cat to work one time...he's in new home construction, had opened the side door to his utility trailer to put a tool away, then left.   He got to the jobsite 10 miles away, dropped the tailgate of the trailer and she streaked out!    Thank goodness she didn't run too far like cats will sometimes do when they're scared, we'd probably have never found her since we live in such a rural area. She ran under the truck and he was able to get her out, throw her in the cab and bring her home.   Bet she never gets in the trailer again. I can't imagine how bouncy and noisy that ride was!

And on finding kitties "lost" in the house...I had a Siamese kitten a long time ago.  We looked EVERYwhere for her one time, or so we thought.  After hours of searching, we finally finally saw a pair of blue eyes peeking out from about a 1/2 inch gap of a dresser drawer.  She had climbed in through the open bottom, up around the back of the drawers and had been napping in the clothes.

Original Post by pgeorgian:

there are more than a few americans with bad teeth (or few or no teeth).  the ones on TV usually have pretty ones....

 You should see the county where I grew up in central Ohio. The big joke is finding a man with all his teeth or with teeth that aren't rotten. Unfortunately it's more truthful than joke.

Boy, you sure have a purdy mouth! Lookit all dem shiny teeths up in thar!

Gotta watch out for them hill people. Surprised

In the south too...my SIL is a CSM at Walmart, and she jokes that the total number of teeth among the cashiers is less than the total number of employee.

All joking aside, it's because it's so damned expensive.  I had a root canal/crown in May, cost $1700.   I still need a another cavity filled, but can't until I finish paying off the root canal $100 at a time...

Don't know if you are set one car in particular, but Chrysler Corp (which includes Dodge) is def giving the $4500 off on most models.   PT Cruisers are fairly reasonable, get pretty good mileage now.  And for as small as they look, they are really big inside (my 6" hubby can sit in the bask seat with plenty of leg and head room, and with the rear seats folded down I can haul around a) 2 Great Danes and a Border Collie, b) 12 50lb bags of horse feed c) 4 bales of hay, d) 10 foot long 2x4s - I treat this car like a mini-truck sometimes, lol). I've had mine 9 years and STILL love it, I'll be getting another.

Yeah, I voted before it was deleted too.  I didn't think it was spammy.  I voted for other CCer's contests, and taken their off CC surveys when they've posted a request for help, so what was different about this one that it got deleted?

Foods any teens following a 1200 calorie diet? snack ideas? Jul 31 2009
19:00 (UTC)

No teen should be following a 1200 diet.  The BARE MINIMUM a teen girl should have is 1500, and that's for a very small sedentary girl.

Please go to this link http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/bodycomp/bmiz2.html put in your stats and use the activity level of at least moderate (probably should be very active since your a cheerleader)  to figure out how many calories you should consume in a day to maintain your current weight.   If you really need to lose (without your stats, I don't know) subtract 500 from the maintenance amount, and that's how many calories you should be eating in a day.

In the case of kids, it's always better to err on the side of caution.     Kids will trust a teacher because they've been told to by everyone.  This man should be aware how inappropriate this would appear to everyone, and if he doesn't, he's clueless and should be told so by his superiors.

My DD is learning the flute and playing Battle Hymn of the Republic - she was shocked when I sang along with these words..

We have tortured all the teachers - we have broken all the rules
We have barbequed the principal, and burned the PTA
And the janitors are on our side "OUR SIDE"!!
Glory, glory, hallelujah
My teacher hit me with a ruler 
Hid behind the door with a loaded .44
And teacher taught "NO MORE"!

Innocent youths way back when - We used to sing this at the end of every school year - now days, we'd be arrested...

Weight Loss Is this normal for a 13 year old? Jul 21 2009

Hey hon - sorry, we can't see your pic, it needs permission - However, my 12 year old has very similar measurements (though she's just a little taller).  She is not by any means fat, not even a little chunky.  She's just going to be one of those "hippy" (or pear shaped) girls. 

Even puting you in the Kids BMI tool at 120 lbs, you would have BMI of 21.3 (right in the middle of the healthy range) and which places you in the 77th percentile (average).

Also, keep in mind, you are still smack dab in the middle of puberty - you could grow a couple more inches, and your proportions could even out still, too.

Well, then don't be embarrassed to shop around.  There is a MAJOR difference in costs of the same meds at different pharmacies.  My mom saved $68 per month by switching from Walgreens to Walmart on just one Rx.  They should give you the info over the phone.

Ask your Dr what the generic versions are, then go to Walmart.com to see if any are on the $4 list and then just pay cash for them rather than going through your insurance.
