I had some fun at the expense of some very close friends recently. I sold my car about a month or so ago and over the past two weeks three of them have included me on their insurance bringing the total to five. I guess my driving has been missed!
R.I.P Larry Hagman. September 21, 1931 – November 23, 2012
10:31 Nov 24 2012 Times Read: 823
Larry Hagman’s passing just flooded my mind with some very fond memories. My parents would talk of I dream of Jeanie and everyone had the ‘I shot JR’ t-shirt.
I recall being in Germany about 6 months to a year after the original airing of Dallas. The series was on their local television station, (which was interesting to watch in German) and they were having a contest to "Guess who shot JR." Of course we, coming from the U.S. had the inside scoop. :)
oh my gosh i didnt know he passed away i grew up with him on my tv thats sad.
Such Wisdom

The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk.
The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 500 rubles. Being frugal, they bought the cow from Minsk.
The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. Then they would never have to worry about the milk supply again.
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest. The people were very upset and decided to ask their wise Rabbi what to do.
They told the Rabbi what was happening. They explained: "Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side."
The Rabbi pondered this for a while and asked, "Did you buy this cow from Minsk?"
The people were amazed & dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they had gottens the cow.
"You are truly a wise Rabbi," they said.. "How did you know we got the cow from Minsk?"
The Rabbi answered sadly, "My wife is from Minsk."
How terrible :( I didn't know they came into shore like that..
The Monday Joke
19:40 Nov 19 2012 Times Read: 875
This is why I love a good Monday....
A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a Xmas fancy dress party.
He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg, so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem. A few days later he receives a parcel with a note:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a Pirate's outfit. The spotted
handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a Pirate. The man is offended that the outfit emphasizes his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint. A week passes and he receives another parcel and note:
Dear Sir,
Sorry about the previous parcel. Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part. The man is really incandescent with rage now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing
attention to his bald head. So he writes a really strong letter of complaint.
A few days later he gets a very small parcel from the company with the accompanying letter:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup.
We suggest you pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, let it harden, then stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a toffee apple.
My two young cousins were recalled last week to Israel which already sent alarm bells off in the family. One a pilot and the other serving with a tank regiment have already received honours for services rendered. Now they have been called on once again. My thoughts and prayers stay with them and all who are defending Israel’s right to exist.
Before anyone screams about how Israel started this, please get your facts straight. For the past couple of months Hamas has fired rockets across its borders every single night. How do I know this, my family are woken up by the explosions.
I just checked the Christmas posting dates for America and it seems I have to get to the post office by the 10th of December, so I need addresses by the 7th Dec. Although Europe is a week later I will still be sending all cards out by that date.
If you’d like a card from me in England and I don’t already have your address then I need it (privately if you wish) by the 7th, no later as I would have already bought them etc.
If you know for sure I already have your address, then do nothing.
All the grown ups were talking quite passionately (loudly) about religion, politics, sport, TV soaps and all that sort of thing so I sneaked off with the kids and watched Beauty and the Beast. It’s now my favourite.
Mine too. (Right after Sleeping Beauty of course.) :)
Great stuff

I recently bought a new grater for cooking. Here’s the thing, after scraping my onion on it (and a ‘grate’ job it did too), I have a question. How do you clean the damn thing afterward? I soaked it in hot water and fairy but it minced my sponge and j-cloth when I wanted to get into the nitty-gritty parts!!
I was so into this years Remembrance Sunday that I forgot all about the Lord Mayor Show today.
As a kid I would watch the parade from the sidelines as my dad would lift me up on his shoulders. I see the excitment on the faces of the kids waiting there but as I look at the crowds now and the floats that will be part of the show, it just looks so small. Or maybe I’ve grown!
The kids of VR have taken over the vamp cams tonight. I nosed into a few and loved how they were so polite and sweet. We do have some great members coming through and it’s good to see it.
True. Shame the older ones are the drama makers, starts. Seems they should be setting examples.
Hell bound ! !

I got to lead the mini service whilst the Shabbos candles were being lit tonight. I now attend this service every Friday whenever possible. I said the prayer for wine and bread.
Within the hour I broke nearly every other law surrounding the Sabbath. I ate an unkosher sarnie whilst booting my PC to get online and tell you all about it and whilst this was happening I was searching my TV for a film!
Election fever is over. Yes America, here in the UK we have been watching you like a hawk. Forget that when you asked us if we care about the results we said ‘no’. Truth is we care a great deal as whoever was voted into office has an enormous effect on us too.
I just can’t believe the millions, nay billions that were spent on a campaign that could have done so much more good elsewhere. The whole thing has become an audition for a film/movie. Surely they could devise a way to have an upper spending level and let the candidates’ policies do the talking.
I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome, and I'm an Aussie. :D Like I said in someone else's journal, it's not just America that will feel the affects of who is in power.
The advertising... uhm... at least they're rich to begin with? 0.o
I agree with that. I am pleased with the outcome but wouldn't it be great if even just half of all those campaign funds went to rebuild after Hurricane Sandy?
They have been letting off fireworks since the weekend and it still makes me jump when I hear those big bangs so unexpectedly. Tonight is the official Guy Fawkes Night and I wish I was in a better mood for it. I need that feeling you get at Xmas, everyone is in such a better mood.
Happy 'spend all your money and watch it explode in the sky' day ... lol i dunno why we do this... why we celebrate a man failing to blow up parliament ... Surely we would celebrate if he had succeeded ... lol
Giggles at Jynx's comment.. You know she does have a point there!

So I got down to the lobby and realised I had forgotten my car keys and went all the way back up and as I was approaching my front door I stopped, turned around and headed for the lift/elevator once again.
That’s right, I sold my car about three weeks ago.
Had a little time today and went rating. I started with the newbies as they have hardly anything on their page so it loads fast and I’m in and out even faster. The one thing I did notice was the amount of users suspended infinitely.
Duplicate accounts, or suspended users most likely..

I had to take this picture as I will be taking down the cards after this weekend. The four ceramic blocks on my mantle were also a gift when I first moved in.
Normally and on a very good day I would receive a max of 10 to 12 cards, no more than a dozen.
This year I received over 30. I did count them specifically for this post for my vanity but got distracted again as I love to read the words people write.
The majority of the cards were made up by this very friendly community. Too friendly my friend thinks. Wicker Man friendly!!
