USS New York

She was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center .

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite , LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept. 9, 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody there."

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the "hair on my neck stood up." "It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back."

The ship's motto? "Never Forget"

Happy Memorial Day

Home Remedies

2007-05-01T08:59:00.000-05:00

Howdy! Just thought I would pass on these wonderful home remedies. I hope they help! hugs

1. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

2. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you'll be afraid to cough.

3. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

4. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

5. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a
timer.

6. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache.

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Remember...

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

And finally, be really nice to your family and friends. You never know when you might need them to empty your bedpan.

2007-04-19T08:02:00.000-05:00

I don't usually get serious on here but a friend sent me this and I wanted to share it with you all. It seemed fitting.

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself.

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.

And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.
Thanks for reading and y'all mean so very much to me. Hugs

Where the term "shit" came from.....

2007-04-04T08:40:00.000-05:00

Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.

Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " , (Ship High In Transport) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

I passed on knowledge........shocker huh?! Have a great day!

Me - "If fate had been a little kinder, I wouldn't have a convict for a husband and a daughter named Jonathon".

Your on the lamb! Your crazy to be doing this!
I'm not on the lamb, I was taken hostage and if my kidnapper isn't here in 10 seconds I'll put a bullet up your ass!

Bug -
He was blind.
How can a blind man be a lookout?
How can an idiot be a policeman?
Answer me that!

Dan - "This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff."

Bug - "I'm freezing my royal Rastafarian nay-nays off!"

Dan -
Identify yourself!
Captain Wild Bill Kelso, United States Army Air Corps, where the Hell am I?
Barstow, where you coming from?
San Francisco, been chasing a Jap squadron for a day and a half. I lost 'em somewhere over Fresno.
I'm from Olene, Illionois.
Tough Shit.

Me - (a bunch of older Irish men talking)
Damn it, man, what are you so hot and bothered about? Afraid she'll open her jacket and flash her titties at you? You couldn't handle that, could you?
I've seen enough titties in my time.
I haven't.
Been a hundred years since I seen a good titty.
No such thing as a bad titty.
Goddamn it. There now. That's my point. The little bimbo hasn't been here an hour and all you hormone graveyards can talk about is nipples.
Didn't mention nipples.
We was speaking of the titty as a whole.

*giggles* I hope nobody was offended by that last one but it's one of my favorite quotes. Have a great day!

You can trouble me for a warm glass of shut-the-hell-up. Now, you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep. Check out the name tag. You're in my world now, Grandma."

Me -
Don't you think you're getting a little radical here?
What's radical?
Blowing a man's head off with a hand grenade is a touch much, don't you think?
You got your way - I got mine.
Come on, maybe he doesn't know anything.
I don't really care.

Dan -
"The governor of Louisiana gave me this. Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights, corner of Bourbon and Toulouse, New Orleans, Louisiana. Now, this is supposed to be the finest whorehouse in the South. These ain't no pork chops! These are U.S. PRIME!"

I'm so so so loving my new look! I just want to thank the Hottie, Bond baby for designing it. He's so wonderful. So hey, this weekend, we all finally get to meet! Bond, Anndi, Dixiechick, Turnberry and the hoochie in training, Pia. All of us, together, for two days. It's gonna be a wild time! The only bummer is Busy won't be there.

Now here's some jokes for ya:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lemon Squeeze (for Dixie)

There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessional, she said, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."

The priest said, "Confess your sins and be forgiven."

The young woman said, "Last night my boyfriend made mad, passionate love to me seven times."

The priest thought long and hard and then said, "Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink the juice."

The young woman asked, "Will this cleanse me of my sins?"

The priest said, "No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brothel Trip

An elderly man goes into a brothel and tells the madam he would like a young girl for the night. Surprised, she looks at the ancient man and asks how old he is.

"I'm 90 years old," he says.

"90!" replies the woman. "Don't you realize you've had it?"

"Oh, sorry," says the old man. "How much do I owe you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Senility

An elderly man went to his doctor and said, "Doc, I think I'm getting senile. Several times lately, I have forgotten to zip up."

"That's not senility," replied the doctor. "Senility is when you forget to zip down."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pest Control (for Bond)

A woman was having a passionate affair with an inspector from a pest-control company. One afternoon they were carrying on in the bedroom together when her husband arrived home unexpectedly.

"Quick," said the woman to the lover,"into the closet!" and she pushed him in the closet, stark naked.

The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet.

"Who are you?" he asked him.

"I'm an inspector from Bugs-B-Gone," said the exterminator.

"What are you doing in there?" the husband asked.

"I'm investigating a complaint about an infestation of moths," the man replied.

"And where are your clothes?" asked the husband.

The man looked down at himself and said, "Those little bastards!"

A Joke For Pia

2007-02-06T08:18:00.000-05:00

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking
her faithful aged poodle named Bond along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Bond
discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some
bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the
bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy,that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of
terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard. "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby
tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for
protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes
a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here,
monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving
canine!"

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back
and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them
yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another
leopard!

Moral of this story....

Don't mess with old farts...
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
B.S. and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Welcome! I love this idea. I must thank Trigam41 (see his link on the left) for this idea. My family and I are always quoting movies so I thought we would have you try some of our favorites. Bug, Dan and I will each give you one and I will put the winner "up in lights" like Bond does if I can figure out how, LOL. So try and guess which movie each quote is from and the character's and actor's name. (I just added extra quotes cause nobody was getting them).

1st Movie
My Quote - "10,000 years and you haven't found one broad to fit the bill? Come on Dave, you must be doing something seriously wrong!"

"he just stands there.....waiting for me to drive my truck straight thru him! With light coming out of his mouth!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd Movie
Dan's Quote - "Does your dog bite? No. (dog snaps) I thought you said your dog doesn't bite? That is not my dog."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3rd Movie
Bug's Quote - "There is no way, no way, that you could come from my loins. As soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch your momma in the mouth."

"nobody, I mean nobody, makes Sheriff Buford T. Justice look like a possum's pecker!"

Thursday Three

2007-01-25T07:45:00.000-05:00

Thursday three cause thirteen is too many for me. LOL Three funny quotes:

"You know "that look" women get when they want sex? Me neither." - Steve Martin

"Clinton lied. A man might forget where he parks or where he lives, but he never forgets oral sex, no matter how bad it is." - Barbara Bush (Former US First Lady -- and you didn't think Barbara had a sense of humor)

"According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are just grateful." - Robert De Niro

Tomorrow, back by popular demand, I'll have another trivia contest using movie quotes. There will be three of them, one picked by me, one by dan and one by Bug. Thanks for reading! Hugs~

"there's two white guys out there, one wants 4 pieces of dry white toast and the other guy wants two whole fried chickens and a coke."

What a movie is that quote from?

College Boy vs Senior Citizen

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation. "You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing .....and," pausing to take another drink of beer, the Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said,

"You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young........so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding...

2007-01-22T07:27:00.000-05:00

Here's a question. Why are we more polite to perfect strangers then our loved ones?

Seger is so Awesome

2007-01-21T11:35:00.000-05:00

Okay, so, the concert was incredible! I was really psyched for it but it really didn't hit me until he stepped out on stage. His first song was Roll Me Away which is my favorite song by him cause, well, years ago life was tough and I related to it. I started crying, yup, tears were a'flowin'. I screamed, danced, cried and clapped thru the whole concert. You gotta understand, I never thought I would be able to see him live. He was wearing glasses and some extra weight but was very energetic and his voice was spot on. He had two encores and ending with Rock N' Roll Never Forgets, which was a perfect song to end with. Oh yeah, the crowd was INSANE! It was almost all older folks and they were as nuts as I was. When he sang the slower ones (not much band involvement) you could hear the crowd singing along, it was just incredible.

I must give kudos to Steve Azar, he opened for Bob. I heard mention of him lately but don't remember where. Let's just say I'm going to buy his CD. Also, there was a guy in his band that was awesome. He played the bongos, drums, harmonica and sang. He was nuts, reminded me of Jim Belushi. Oh and the guitarist looked just like Severus! too funny. Check him out if you can and of course you must see Seger!

Thanks for visiting. Hugs!

Bob Seger!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!

2007-01-20T10:31:00.000-05:00

Okay so Busy is making me post every day - today's easy though. I'm going to the Bob Seger concert tonight. I'm beyond psyched. He's been my favorite for forever and I've never been able to see him. Psycho Mom got to see him before me for goodness sake. I remember having tickets to see him twice when I was in my teens but had gotten grounded both times and wasn't able to go.

The concert is at Mohegan Sun and we have fabulous seats. Mohegan is one of two casinos we have here in CT. I love to gamble, have been to Vegas many times but don't go to the casinos here much at all. There a rip off, the slots hardly pay out and I love to play roulette but here each chip costs at least a dollar and you have to put at least $10 up at a time. Too costly for me. In Vegas, in the early mornings, the chips can cost as little as 25 cents.

That's it for today, thanks for visiting. Hugs, smooches and gropes!

Hoochie Busy did this thing yesterday on her blog:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal.

These were her responses about me:

1. I like the nick name I gave you 'The Fly'.
2. I don't know If I issue another challenge I might kill us all. I challenge you to write in your blog every day for 1 week.
3. Orange
4. You are so prim & proper....HELL NO!
5. It was on the AI Board, in the Monster thread. Gosh I have met alot of people there. I saw your name and I thought 'that is interesting'.
6. A Minx...oh a Mink (wait I'm having a Pickler moment).
7. Another one that has no secrets!! What is your occupation??? Do I know this? I don't remember.

My occupation is Associate Accountant. Ya I know, thrill a minute....LMOO So now for a whole week I gotta post every day.....have no clue what I'm going to say! Oh and why orange?

Okay, it's biatchin' time. So, my exhusband hasn't paid child support in 9 years. Out of the blue I've started getting checks from the State from him for child support, he's got himself 2 legit jobs. So what does the State do? Haul him out of his job and puts him in jail for two days for not paying child support. Doesn't it defeat the whole purpose? Couldn't they have just wrote him a letter or something telling him to keep paying or he's going to jail? GRRRRRRRR I'm praying he still has the 2 jobs after what happened.

That's it for now, thanks for readying - love ya all more then Anndi's loves her luggage! HSG

Thursday Three

2007-01-18T11:29:00.000-05:00

Well, it's Thursday Thirteen for a lot of folks. Thirteen is too many for me. How about the Thursday Three. I think I will do that instead. I'm not really a rule follower and like to do my own thing anyway (in case you haven't noticed). I do enjoy reading everyone else's though. Okay, here we go, first shot at Thursday Three:

Three All Time Favorite Books I've Read

1) The Talisman - Stephen King and Peter Straub. I read this book for the first time when I was in my late teens. I thought about it constantly while I was reading it and after. The concept is mind blowing.

2) The Cabinet of Curiosities - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. There are like 9 books that have a reoccurring character (FBI Agent Pendergrast) who is very unique. This one was my favorite.

3) One for the Money - Janet Evanovich. I chose this one because there are 12 books in this hysterical, wonderful series and this is the one that started them all. I usually read one of her books when I need an easy read. If your not much of a reader this one is perfect for you, trust me! You will literally laugh out loud.

Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Smooches and Gropes!

This post is dedicated to Lee Ann, Dixie Hoochie, the birthday girl.

Walking into the bar, Tony said to Vinny the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with Lee Ann."

"Oh yeah?" said Vinny, "And how did this one end?"

"When it was over," Tony replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees".

"Really," said Vinny, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?"

She said, "Come out from under the bed, you big chicken."

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.

He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"

"Just water," says the priest.

The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"

The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"

------------------------------------------------

So Lee Ann I leave you with some advice. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in. So my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank sweetie, your such a joy, hugs! Have an awesome day!

For two wonderful women, one I have the priviledge of knowing and the other I wish I had known.

2007-01-15T11:13:00.000-05:00

For an amazing and wonderful person who just suffered a great loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Wish I could hug and comfort you in person.
