Dry asked me how I was after opening a can of pringles and horrifically encountering the crazed, saber-toothed, razor clawed beast that lurked inside. here I am upon awakening in the hospital 2 weeks later, resolved to never munch on a potato chip again
Not that I have ever been there. The farthest south I’ve been is either Orlando, Fla, New Orleans, or Atlanta, depending on the geography. I don’t feel like looking it up.
OMG!!! After staring at the roses for over 20 minutes til my eyes glazed over (I’ve never been able to see what I was supposed to see with these kinds of pictures)…..I SAW IT…in 3-D…FLOATING ♥ !!! FIRST TIME EVER THAT IT WORKED! I’M SO EXCITED!

At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
“If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.”
In response to Bill’s comments, Ford issued a press release stating:
If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash………twice a day.
2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3… Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4…. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5….. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive – but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6…… The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single “This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation” warning light.
I love the next one!
7……. The airbag system would ask, “Are you sure?” before deploying.
8…….. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9……… Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10………. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off.
Seriously, though, it does sort of scare me that cars have so much more electronics that could become useless when soaked or flooded or cost a fortune to replace if it malfunctioned.

I have a feeling that budgies, blue jays etc will still be frightened of seeing that bird coming at them, StelBel.

Who is the female cat waving too? She looks like she thinks she is the Queen or something.
Good Evening CDers!

StelBel, I love the kitty napping. Looks like my other cat Stormy.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
nighthawks, you look well rested. Is that a spa?
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Grog, I wondered what prompted the birds to migrate south.

StelBel, sorry I missed you yet again, but I call my mom on Friday nights and she talked for two hours this time. At her age, I let her.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Shika, that one went over my head. I have no idea what you are referring to. Certainly nothing I posted. Or was it?
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Well I think it’s time for me to call it a night. But I may stay out later on Saturday night.

YEAH FELLOW BABY! THANKS A HEEP FOR REMINDING ME WHAT WE ARE IN FOR HERE IN THE EAST COAST! THANKS A LOT DUDE!

I’ll play some Mungo Jerry for you tomorrow, Fellow Baby!
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
By the way, I think I was providing a public service by showing what you were missing under all that “snow”.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Maybe we ought to take up a collection for Shika and send her off to warm and sunny climate for a couple weeks to a month. She needs a vacation.
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
i got mom to bed, and i think i will stay up a bit.i wonder if there is anything stupid on the idiot box tonight worth looking at…
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
How I wish. I’d have to go in the summer Grog. I’m not sure it’s the same. But I’d go anyways. Barbados has white quiet beaches I’m told.
