I just wanted to let you all know that my baby girl has arrived. She was born yesterday, the 17th, weighed in at 6 lbs 3 oz and 20" long. I gcnt get over how beautiful she is and how much she resembles her big sister. I will post pics soon

The blog posted before this made me want to share this....

Not too long ago we were looking at this house. As soon as we walked in the door, my daughter didn't want to be there AT ALL.  She kept saying, "Mommy, I want to go outside. I hate this house" I thought she was just being a little brat but when we were in the basement I heard her say, "Hey, who said that?" She told us that the wall said her name. That was all she would talk about the next morning, she said a man in the wall said "Hey Maddie, what are you doing?" So, obviously we did not buy the house but I make sure she goes with me whenever we look at a house. She has also seen things in the house we live in and she can describe what she sees fairly well.

I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge.


I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave it back


to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor and gave her


the money back. She became indignant and informed me she was educated


and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her


the money back again...same scenario! I departed the store with the


$46.64.

I walked into a Mickey D's with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a


sandwich. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little


chalkboard that said buy one-get one free. "They're already


buy-one-get-one-free", she said, "so I guess they're both free" She


handed me my free sandwiches and I walked out the door.

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of


them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky


and said, "Where?"

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day


I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was


open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days


a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"Wanting to end


the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific." They Walk


Among Us!

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a


seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to


the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never


showed up She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained


professional and I was in good hands "Now," she asked me, has your plane


arrived yet?" ............... They Walk Among Us!










While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza


to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like


it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before


responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough


to eat 6 pieces."

............... Yep, They Walk Among Us!

These 12 are actual
comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York
City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded but, boy, are
they funny!


1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.


2. I would not allow this student to breed.


3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.


4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.


5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.


6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.


7. This child has been working with glue too much.


8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.


9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.


10. If this student were any stupider he'd have to be watered twice a week.


11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.


12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

These 16 were taken off actual police car videos around the country: [these are some 'quick witted' cops!]




16. 'You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through.'


15. 'Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while.'


14.
'If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a
worthless document· 'If you run, you'll only go to jail tired.'


12. 'Can you run faster than 1200 ft/second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you.'


11. 'You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?'


10.
'Yes sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it
will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?'


9. 'Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket.'


8. 'The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?'


7.
'Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to
ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in elephant
poop.'


6. 'Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.'


5. 'In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.'


4. 'How big were those 'two beers' you say you had?'


3. 'No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can.'


2. 'I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.'


AND THE WINNER IS....
1. 'You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't.........Sign here.' [Ouch!]

I just found out last week that I am expecting. I was curious to how everyone thought about being pregnant and still investigating. I would LOVE to hear all of your opinions.

The mysterious grave markers are gone.  Two dozen headstones that made up a sidewalk cemetery beside a St. Louis street have been moved.  Who moved them?  And where did they go?  The mystery is only partially solved.

The headstones appeared a few weeks ago.  24 of them were lined up in front of 3737 Olive in Midtown St. Louis, and old funeral home.  

Grand Center,
the arts organization redeveloping the area took over the property and
found the stones inside the building, with no records attached to them.

Fox
2 aired a story about the grave markers Wednesday night, and at some
point after the broadcast someone moved the markers, including one
belonging to "Baby Wavie Knuckles, Jr.".

Thursday, Baby Wavie's brother came forward.

"Wavie Knuckles, Junior is my brother," said Lester Knuckles, from his North St. Louis County home.  Baby Wavie was only 10 months old when he died.

"It was 1948," Lester says.  "November 22."

Wavie was killed in a fire.  The
St. Louis Post Dispatch wrote about it 59 years ago and Lester still
has the article, but he doesn't need a newspaper to remind him.  His scars are still visible as he pulls up his sleeves and pants leg.

"I was the burned second to worst," Lester says..  "They thought I had died too."

Baby Wavie was buried, and Lester has no idea why was the headstone was sitting on a St. Louis sidewalk.

"I don't know and that's what I'm trying to find out," Lester says.

The headstones were sitting in front of a locked-up Ted Foster and Son's Funeral Home.  There is another Ted Foster's in St. Louis.  Ironically, it's only blocks from Lester Knuckles's home.  We
called and stopped by that location and were told to expect a response
from Ted Foster, but we never heard from him or anyone else.

Death certificates are online for about half the names on the markers.  The certificates show they have one thing in common:  a cemetery.  They list the place of burial as Washington Park Cemetery.  In 1997 graves there, including the one belonging to Wavie Knuckles, were moved as Lambert Airport and Metrolink expanded.

"That stone might be from Washington Park," said Lester.  "But I don't know who took it."

"it just makes me concerned.  Not angry," Lester says.  "Not angry.  Makes me concerned."

Approximately 10,000 American women will learn they have cervical cancer/HPV this year, and nearly 4,000 will die from an advanced form of the disease. This January, during Cervical Health Awareness Month, the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) is focused on educating women about the importance of the Pap test as a screening tool for cervical cancer/HPV and about vaccines that can further reduce the burden of this devastating disease. It's the start of a new year - a time many reflect on their health. To start the year right, we encourage women to contact their health care provider to schedule a Pap test to check for cervical cancer. This screening is a crucial part of a woman's health care regimen, yet one that many overlook. It's important to remember that cervical cancer is a preventable disease - as long as it's caught early enough. During January and throughout the year, the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation serves as the lead partner of the National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign. Consisting of 32 organizations committed to women’s health, the Campaign provides information about cervical cancer prevention, early detection and screening. The availability of a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer plus regular screening gives hope that this cancer can be eliminated. The Campaign urges women to “take the pledge” to be vaccinated and undergo regular screening. For more information, and to “take the pledge,” log onto www.cervicalcancercampaign.org

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.....
