    1. [GENHUMOR] The Deck
    2. Dianne
    3. Oct. 30, 2001 THE DECK Well, we decided to re-stain the house and deck this week. The house is cedar wood and so is the deck. So we just have to apply this outer coat of wood presevative. Doesn't that sound simple? First we have to buy 25 gallons of bleach, to bleach the deck and the house to remove mildew and the old dead color. You simply spray this on with a 2 gallon spray can. You should only do this when the wind is not blowing at you. Unfortunately we had a little wind the day I am spraying the deck rails, I had to resort to a pair of safety glasses and old clothes. This took only about 3 days. Then you try to get the wood presevative on the deck before the dog has re deposited all his hair onto the deck. So you get your glasses and read the directions. " Do not roll on, do not spray on, use a brush only." ( ok, I can do that) do not apply when the temperature is below 58 degrees, do not apply in the sun, do not apply to hot wood, do not apply when wind is blowing, do not apply if temperatures will fall below 58 degrees in the next 24 hours, do not apply if sun will heat applied area within 24 hours.. Ok, that did it for me, just WHEN do you think would be a good time to do this? My husband and I just said the heck with it, and merrily applied this crap, every so often I would ask, do you think the sun is too hot here? He says, "I don't think so", or I would say, "Do you think it will fall below 58 degrees tonight?" He says, I don't think so" that was his famous line for everything. Every morning he would get up at 5 a.m. and let me know when it was at least 58 degrees (sometimes not till about 10 a.m.). We had been at this for about a week, and then on the last section of deck, (today) it decides to rain 3 inches in one hour. So the last piece will have to wait until we can dry it out for a while. So while it rained, I washed my jelly jars getting ready for our next adventure called "Making Pomegranate Jelly"

    1. [GENHUMOR] Fw: What is a grandparent (Rebecca)
    2. Edna Wakeham
    3. WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT? (Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds) Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's. A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady! Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money. When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.' They don't say, 'Hurry up.' Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums out. Grandparents don't have to be smart. They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?' When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again. Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us. They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad. GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM! It's funny when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog. __._,_.___ __,_._,___ -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

But when a ten-year married man looks happy, we wonder why. 20) There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her.

You order what you want, and when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that instead. 12) It's true that all men are born free and equal-but some of them get MARRIED! 13) There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced. 14) A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes. 15) Conversations between son & father: Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad? Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it. Son: Is it true? Dad, I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries.

Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind. 4) Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Master's. 5) Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger, and two under the man's eyes. 6) Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit. 7) Marriage is not just a having a wife but also worries inherited forever. 8) Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of "RINGS": * The Engagement Ring * The Wedding Ring * The Suffe-ring * The Endu-ring 9) Married life is full of excitement and frustration: * In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. * In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. * In the third year, they both speak and the NEIGHBORS listen. 10) It is true that love is blind but marriage is definitely an eye-opener. other Holiday needs.

    1. [GENHUMOR] Fw: Why do men die first?
    2. Edna Wakeham
    3. This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but, now we know. It requires a bit of explanation, first: If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race ... you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy. If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her. If you don't work enough..... you're a good-for-nothing bum. If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay... you should get off your lazy behind and find something better. If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you ..... its equal opportunity. If you mention how nice she looks ... its sexual harassment. If you keep quiet ..... its male indifference. If you cry ... you're a wimp. If you don't ....... you're insensitive. If you make a decision without consulting her ..... you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman. If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy . that's domination. If SHE asks you ... it's a favor. If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ..... you're a pervert. If you don't ..... you're gay. If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist. If you don't ... you're unromantic. If you try to keep yourself in shape .. you're vain. If you don't ...you're a slob. If you buy her flowers .... you're after something. If you don't ...you're not thoughtful. If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself. If you don't ... you're not ambitious. If she has a headache ... she's tired. If you have a headache ... you don't love her anymore. Why do men die first? Because they want to! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.

    1. [GENHUMOR] Fw: WHY MEN DON'T WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS (awdewd)
    2. Edna Wakeham
    3. Dear Walter, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbors' daughter. I'm 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbors' daughter is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I'd leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sheila ****************************** Dear Sheila: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine… Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it's clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors. I hope this helps, WALTER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.

    2. Dianne
    3. The Picture Copy Machine Feb. 3, 2002 Did you ever take a picture to one of those Kodak machines that they have at Sam's Club, Wal-mart, Walgreens, Bel-Air and almost anywhere, to have it scanned and a picture made from it? Well it seems under penalty of law, (I don't know what the penalty is, maybe prison?), that if it is a picture that was taken by a professional photographer, is copyrighted or even LOOKS professional, you cannot copy it. I took a picture of my grandkids into Sam's club and scanned a picture taken professionally of them, and the lady there said, sorry you cannot have that picture it was taken professionally. I said, " what are you going to do throw them away or shred them?" She says, yes that is exactly what she is going to do. So I scanned a picture I took myself of them and the lady came unglued, ":I said you cannot copy these pictures", I told her I took them my self, she says "well they LOOK professional, you do not have the negative with you , so you cannot scan them" Now why do you think I spent $800 on a Cannon rebel with an expensive lens? So they would look unprofessional? By now I could just reach across the counter and snap her little head right off and walk out smiling. So I got no pictures that day. My daughter in law said she copied some old high school graduation pictures of her mom and dad and the same lady told her she cannot have those pictures, they were done professionally, she finished copying the pictures and started to walk away and she told her that she would have to package the pictures for her and she was not getting the high school pictures. My daughter in law said ok, I have more shopping to do and I will be back, Instead she did her shopping and went to the front check out and paid $4.95 for each picture she scanned and made a picture out of. She got out to the car and here comes Miss picture authority. "Let me see your receipt slip," she says. My daughter in law showed it to her and the lady saw where the pictures were paid for, so she says, I am taking your account number and will be reporting this. Ok, says my daughter in law, the picture lady says, snotty like, "I hope you enjoy them" My daughter in law says," I will", and left. I told her the picture lady is going to have her Sam's club card yanked or better yet report her to 1-800 copyrighted pictures being unlawfully copied. (laughing) I am saying what is the big deal, why would any one care if she wants a picture of her mom and dad's high school picture taken over 35 years ago? Do you really think the picture place still has the negatives? Are they even in business? Do you think bells and whistles go off at Olan mills whenever someone tries to copy a picture of theirs? No one in their right mind is going to go back to the place where the professional picture was taken and pay through their nose for a copy when they are scanners and printers that will do it at home. Besides we are making the pictures on the machine, not her, why should she care?. Some day I am going to go in there, make a copy of a professionally done picture, and if she says anything, I will ask her what the penalty is is for making the copy, if it's a fine, I will pay it. Can't you just see me sitting in jail and someone asking me what I am in for , and I say, "for making a copy of a picture that looked like it was done professionally". I am going to be someone's cupcake for that????? So they are telling me, if I have a portrait of my great grandmother taken back in Missouri in 1895, I can never make another picture of it? If it should go through a flood, no one in our family will ever have this picture because it was copyrighted or looked professional? If it doesn't say copyrighted on the back, that usually means it's a copy of the original or you can make a copy of it. Is it against the law to make a copy of a copy even if it looks professionally taken? This just mystifies me to no end. Oh sure, I know that the picture studios won't make anymore money off you if you can copy it, but there has to be a cut off point somewhere. I am sure there are people out there, that work at one of these places who have these machines, and people who work at picture studios, that will give me a hundred reasons why I can't make a copy to put in my family album, ("because it's against the law, stupid") I guess I will have to get me a new scanner and a new printer to make them at home. Wonder why that isn't against the law? I will let you know if my daughter in law gets arrested. <grin>

    1. [GENHUMOR] Death Penalty

    3. The Death Penalty Dec. 20, 2005 Looks like Tookie Williams has raised the question again if the death penalty should exist. The death penalty has reached it's lowest level of support in 25 years. Apparently many Americans see strapping a man down on a gurney and poisoning him is cruel. They say it is not a deterrent to killing someone. Well, I'll tell you something, deep down in my gut, I feel the threat of lethal injection is the number one reason I haven't murdered some one. The second biggest reason.........the wood chipper is broken.

Oft times I walk into a room, Say 'what am I here for?' I wrack my brain, but all in vain! A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say 'Hi' and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, 'who the hell was that?' Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke! -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

    3. -------Original Message------- ----- THE HAIRCUT A young boy had just received his driver's permit and asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he would make a deal with his son. "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car." The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, "Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you didn't get your hair cut." The young man paused a moment then said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair. And there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair." To this his father replied, "Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?" Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel.
