  1. GUH-ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!

    so last night i went outside to find a giant tree limb to paint and do an art project with. i found one that was all curly and seriously like 13 feet long. i macheted the bark off outside and then snuck it into my bedroom (it had to be diagnal across the room from ceiling to floor it was that big). anyway i go make dinner and come back into my bedroom to use the computer and take a look at my lovely new stick and there ginormous ants (some with wings!!!) crawling ALL OVER IT! i dont think i ever shrieked so loud, i grabbed a towel then grabbed the tree limb knocking over everything in my room to get it out and ran outside with it. ugh!!!

    do you think those ants stayed on the tree limb? im sure some must have fallen in my room. should i get an ant trap just in case?

    and why did some of the ants have wings?

    *rob*

  2. After the whole making fun of your own culture/race discussion yesterday, here is some Jewish humor for all of you this morning…….

    The President of Iran was wondering who to invade when his telephone rang.

    “This is Mendel in Tel Aviv. We’re officially declaring war on you!”

    “How big is your army?” the president asked.

    “There’s me, my cousin Moishe, and our pinochle team!”

    “I have a million in my army,” said the president.

    “I’ll call back!” said Mendel.

    The next day, he called. “The war’s still on!” We have now a bulldozer, and Goldblatt’s tractor.”

    “I have 16,000 tanks, and my army is now two million.”

    “Oy gevalt!”, said Mendel. “I’ll call back.”

    He phoned the next day. “We’re calling off the war.”

    “Why?”, asked the president.

    “Well,” said Mendel, “we’ve all had a little chat, and there’s no way we can feed two million prisoners.

    A Jewish woman goes to see her Rabbi and asks, “Yankele and Yosele are both in love with me, who will be the lucky one?” The wise old Rabbi answers: “Yankele will marry you. Yosele will be the lucky one.”

    If a married Jewish man is walking alone in a park and expresses an opinion without anybody hearing him, is he still wrong?

    My father says, “Marry a girl who has the same belief as the family.” I said, “Dad, why would I marry a girl who thinks I’m a schmuck?”

    Jewish Marriage advice “Don’t marry a beautiful person. They may leave you. Of course, an ugly person may leave you too. But who cares?”

    Morris went to his rabbi for some needed advice. “Rabbi, tell me is it proper for one man to profit from another man’s mistakes?”
    “No Morris, a man should not profit from another’s man mistakes” answered the rabbi.
    “Are you sure Rabbi?”
    “Of course, I’m sure, in fact I’m positive” exclaimed the Rabbi.
    ” Ok, Rabbi, if you are so sure, how about returning the two hundred dollars I gave you for marrying me to my wife?”

    The Italian says, “I’m tired and thirsty. I must have wine.”
    The Frenchman says, “I’m tired and thirsty. I must have cognac.”
    The Russian says, “I’m tired and thirsty. I must have vodka.”
    The German says, “I’m tired and thirsty. I must have beer.”
    The Mexican says, “I’m tired and thirsty. I must have tequila.”
    The Jew says, “I’m tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes.”

    Jewish proverb: “A Jewish wife will forgive and forget, but she’ll never forget what she forgave.”

  3. Arkady, I don’t know what the time frame is, though I’m sure there’s some rule, law or regulation that tells you, or it may say something typically lawyerly like “as soon as practicable”. Not sure how long before they ticket for something like that.

  4. Hi CGar, I feel better about life now that you you’ve said hi. You have been showering all your time and affection on those OTHER women.

    I went to a presentation last night near Rock Center and had a ridiculous time getting there and when it was over I had a couple of panicky calls from family and friends. I had no idea how bad it was elsewhere. I went immediately to look at the giant backyard tree which was fine and the sidewalk tree lost a big branch, but that was it.

  5. Maple was about 4 gardens up from me & it lost several limbs – don’t know what kind of triage it will need.
    Bluestones are a real hazard – how much time do you think I have to get them fixed?

  6. Morning, Dave, lmao. Not TOUCHING that post.

    Morning, Arkady. I think you’re responsible for repairing the Bluestone unfortch. Did you lose a Maple in the garden or did it turn out to be okay?
