REPTILE
ATTACK EPISODE
Here it is twenty ought four and theres just NOTHING worth gossiping
about.... Oh wait .. there was one thing. LindyM (
#HandsAroundTheWorld ) burned some buns in a microwave. Your intrepid
blue one didn't think it was possible (and he oughta know) .. so maybe
she will tell us all.On the mystery front, one of our newest channel owners Zadi ( #lupuschat) did something really embarrassing last month but I forgot what it was. ON the other hand, somebody will rat out the good dirt sooner or later to avoid starring in the follies.. so watch this space. I think thats about it .. oh wait.. yes ... one little thing... NOL'S
VERSION
 The
other nite NOLady was in her bedroom* and was (as described) ATTACKED
viciously by a GIANT reptile in the privacy and safety of her OWN
home. Neither her ferocious puddy tat or her spouse were able to
save her !! Of course theres a reason for that .. NOL
accidentally grabbed a gecko lizard (described by the aforementioned)
about the size of a rubber band and came apart at the seams.
(NOL, not the lizard.. although wherabouts of the vicious critter is
not known. It may be hiding under a crouton somewhere). ACTUAL
CRITTER
 Cat didn't know there was an issue
with invisible lizards and hubby was too busy taking notes for mailing
to your blue reporter. (that part is true.. the first remarks were
about the follies .. no mention made of medical care, hunting of
varmints, etc.) Fortunately the laughter subsided and no one was
damaged too much by falling down humor. Of course we can all take
this as a lesson (don't panic when attacked by critters smaller than
your thumb) and get it behind us and move on. Right. You
bet. Sure. This is gonna be material for YEARS ....Til next time... have a happy 04. *email version said living room. corrrected here to BED room due to continuous whining by editor/victim. |

Thanks to Itsy (and to ItsyDad) for
these
THINGS TO PONDER Can you cry under water? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches? Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round? Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? What did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you? Why are you IN a movie, but you are ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway. If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call? I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose- fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place! Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press "Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over? Just remember... if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. |

| Thanks
once again to those who sent in
articles for the newsletter. Please encourage your channel owners
and other guests to send in their important dates for the month,
channel chatter, and general noteworthy news! It really gives our
network a stronger sense of continuity when we can share these events
with those outside the channels we normally visit. One of the
things I have always cherished about our network is the way channels
support and visit and encourage other channels rather than stooping to
the pettiness of competition and exclusion and such. That's just
another testament to the character of our community! If you are
as busy as I am, you don't always have the time to get out and visit
other channels. Our Sunday evening #Townhall meetings are an
excellent opportunity to come and meet other folks that we would not
normally chat with or get to know. Come join us for these
meetings which are often informative and always fun. We usually
have refreshments, too! But you all know how that goes with
Itsy around.... not even the platters are left by the time everyone
gets there!. |
