Morning Mini!

Quote From: cureusmimi

This is awesome. I needed the laugh today and this was a good one. The "My way's" sound so much more practical and easy. I'm still laughing at "the lime juice in the eye."  

  

Too, bad you didn't feel comfortable posting the pics. I am sure they are just as funny.  

  

I think I saw that you mentioned peanut butter and chocolate not being a whole meal. If that was not you I apologize. But, I think they make a great meal myself. The peanut butter has protein in it, if you use milk chocolate then there's your dairy and I think vegetables are over rated anyway. Although fruits not too bad and you can pop a cherry on top.  

  

I hope you had a wonderful Easter! 

  

Mimi  

Thanks~! The pic’s are comical and very good illustrations of each set.  

  

I had a fabulous Easter. Hope you did as well.

Quote From: contrary

 A Rare Book   

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it.
      
      "Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.
      
      "Yes, that was it!"
      
      "You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!"
      
      "Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied the man. "It was scribbled all over in the margins by some guy named Martin Luther."

 

Mary, 

  

I love all your Bible funnies.  : - )

I thought this was good..

   

   

   

   

   

We could learn a lot from crayons:   


some are sharp,    

some are pretty,    

some are dull,    

some have weird names,    

and all are different colors..   

   

But they all exist very nicely in    

the same box.

Comfortable? :)  

  

Hoss drove over to the next county to buy a new bull for the farm.  

  

It cost more than expected, and he was left with only one dollar.  

This was a problem, since he needed to let his brother, Zeb,  

know that he'd bought the bull so he could come get it with the truck  

  • and telegrams cost a dollar per word.

  

Hoss thought hard for a minute.  

Finally he said, "All right. Here's my dollar.  

Go ahead and make it this one word: Comfortable."  

  

"How's that going to get your point across?"  

the clerk asked, scratching his head.  

  

"Don't worry," Hoss said.  

"Zeb's not the greatest reader. He'll say it real slow."

Hi Mimi

Quote From: cureusmimi

I hope this isn't taken wrong but I finally found a picture of the coppertone Baby and thought I'd share just to show the innocence of children. They are so cute and adorable.  

  

coppertonebaby.jpg It's not that big and this is the original pic from the advertisement.  

  

I hope everyone here has a wonderful day! 

  

MIMI 

WoW!  That picture sure takes me back in time.  I'm a nostalgia freak to the max.   I think someone else mention they are too.  My favorite era is the 20's and 30's...However, I wouldn't have been a housewife back then.  I could not picture me bending over a wash tub, glancing over at five load of wash that needed to be done before the end of the day.  Gees, women back then didn't have time to be depressed or have trouble sleeping at night...LOL!   

 

Good day to you!

Quote From: zapatosred

I meant "bookworm" Not Borkworm!!!!!!!:>)  I'm responding to my own message!!!:>) Perhaps this means I belong on another message board:>) I was glad to see Alyssa is doing ok and Laurie. Have a good barbeque Alyssa. Sounds yummy to me. You will do just fine with the guy you are inviting, since you already know each other. He sounds nice. Anyway , perfection is not a good goal, I have discovered. I heard someone say, try and make 5 mistakes a day and if you can make them all by lunch, the rest of the day will go great!!!:>) Have a good night!

"Make 5 mistakes a day and if you can make them all by lunch, the rest of the day will go great."  

  

I like that idea! Positive way thinking and the power of suggestion works for me..LOL!  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

p.s.  Curly first posted this image and I liked it so much I thought I would use it for  awhile in my post.  I'm sure she doesn't mind.

Very good post

Quote From: blazes06

its not uncommon to be depressed after child birth. i had twins at age 27 and the hormones went out of wack. i was diagnosed with post pardum depression. its very common. Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor as soon as possible about this. This can be very serious if left untreated. Know from experience. you want to enjoy that new bundle of joy not be depressed. i am sorry your having problems with your boyfriend. when your depressed its hard to stick up for yourself also. you are not weak. dont let him put you down like that. For goodness sake you just had his baby. Thats pretty strong stuff if you ask me. hang in there and let us know if yu went to the doc. 

Hi Sue,  

  

I thought this post was a very good.  Sometimes it helps to share our own experience of PPD to new mothers.  I know I suffered PPD after the birth of each of my children and it would have been comforting if the Internet was around and I had a place to go for answers.  After my first baby, it was a very scary place for me, knowing I was responsible for taking care of real live person.
