Okay, that last picture must be "photoshoped"! Or should have a sign that says "Don't Try This At HOME"!
But this one is "REAL" Like the snow we got yesterday!
This roller coaster is in JAPAN! And it goes into a tunnel!
Very COOL! Did I just say COOL! No more cool snow!

Happy Easter all!

All I need to know I learned from the Easter Bunny!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans.

Good things come in small, sugar coated packages.

The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.

To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

Well, the Warm weather has arrived, but . . .
we are having some MAJOR (piano word) FLOODING issues!
But making the most of it! Making floating "cars" would be a start!

And . . . some of us are getting more flooding than others!
Didn't think "talking" about the weather could be so much fun! Right! grin We went from "0 degrees to 20 degrees in one day!" so I'm claiming it "officially" bikini weather!

Thanks Les!!!

Truths For Mature Humans

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray?
I don't want to have to restart my collection ...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save
any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile
because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up
to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed,
first time, every time!

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain
is also important. (Ladies.....Quit Laughing)

A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected, in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax.

1 . Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you
down to his level and beat you with experience.

2. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any
more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

3. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still
on the list.

4. If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act
in public.

6. War does not determine who is right - only who is
left.

7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit;
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

8. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good
evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

9. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station
is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work
station.

10. How is it one careless match can start a forest
fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

11. Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of
captivity, they can train people to stand on the
very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

12. I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just
wanted pay checks.

13. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that
says "In an emergency, notify:" I put, "Doctor".

14. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming
you.

15. Behind every successful man is his woman.
Behind the fall of a successful man is usually
another woman.

16. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You
only need a parachute to skydive twice.

17. The voices in my head may not be real, but they
have some good ideas!

18. Hospitality: Making your guests feel like they're
at home, even if you wish they were.

19. I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm
about to be devoured by a great white shark or if
a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

20. There's a fine line between cuddling and holding
someone down so they can't get away.

21. I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice
of lemon, and a shot of tequila.

22. When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember
that the Fire Department usually uses water.

23. You're never too old to learn something stupid.

24. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and
call whatever you hit the target.

25. Old enough to know better; but too young to resist!
