1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.

It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you.

While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

I bet the mama of #26 is going to NOT spank or ground her child for letting that bit of info out!!!
Very cute, Freddie!

Thanks Freddie - nice way to start the day
We're off to the National Boat show in NYC so won't see you guys 'til later tonight
Have a great day everyone
Everyone out on the west coast - be safe

Have fun Judy.

If any of you haven't seen the video of Eileen and Joel's little fellas on her facebook site - YA GOT TO. I think I am going to make some popcorn and watch it over and over

Is #22 in there for one of our mods?

are you referring to Martin's gadget Bob?
Happy New Year to you and Maida

Happy Saturday all! John and I are going to do a little shopping this morning, he wants a new monitor.... then we're going to pick up the girls and take them to lunch, and then come home for an afternoon of spoiling them.

Random thoughts for today:

Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car.

A penny saved is a government oversight.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement .

He who hesitates is probably right.

Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are " XL."

If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.

If you can smile when things go wrong , you have someone in mind to blame.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs."

OMG the videos are great!

I can't get the flashplayer to install. I don't understand, I've watched her videos before...

LOL, thanks for the chuckles this morning, gals

Judy, safe travels. Talk to ya later tonight!

Gail, enjoy your day down there.

Awoke early and Bon Bini, youngest furYorkie, is a tad sickly this morning so today ought to be fun.....NOT! Low sugar probably and will call vet in a few. She's shaking and not eating and tummy's rumbly; OYE! See this several times a year and have garbage gut meds here for her but will call just to feel better. The little sh*t was just at the vet Thurs for booster shots and checkup; all was well then!

YoMo..loved your post about the BOWL games
Linda, since I'm a VaTEch Hokie fan I forgive you for whooping our arses Kansas really deserved to win; they played awesome and what a great win for the many decades they couldn't. My Hokies had a good year and we weren't sure they'd win anyway; you're forgiven LOL!

Hope everyone has a good day. Kinda dreary, cloudy here but no rain and not too cold.

Prayers for our west coast BT friends.

And now I HAVE to get downtown!!!

Thank you Gail and Freddie

It's about time for the West Coasters to wake up and check in. I hope all is well out there.

Tom you and the lady be safe at your store!!! Read on another thread about the robberies close by!

PegiSue...you too!!! Take pup with ya for sure. Hope your traffic is good today; in the store!

Hi Freddie,

Happy New Year to you & George.

Actually I was thinking about our moderator on the left coast.

Bob

I live next to the coast (and it is on the left side of our country... )

Oops! Sorry Martin.
I was refering to the other left coast mod..
I didn't think you had any use for a He**o Ki**y electric umbrella.

Good morning kids.
Mail just came, LARZ, how sweet!


Tom, sounds like you be in the wrong hood bro!

Bob, are you talking about Angela??

I think Bob means Cynde?

Oops again!

Forgot about Angela being a mod.

Yeah Jerry I'm refering to Cynde.

Martin, somehow I thought you and Angela were from Holland. This shows you how much I know.

Bob

LOL...they are

Oooooo Linda!!!! You're in it now

Nice stickers there, Jerry!! You can use those for sure; put them on our outgoing mail

So Jerry, the mail abuse continues. Who would be so cruel?...

How many days to lift off, Jerry?

A week from Monday my friend.

We're heading north. Steve and I will be driving up to the Boston area for a memorial service on the 19th. I was just coming to check with Jerry and see if we could drop in and see you. It looks like you'll be in Bon. Oh well, you'll be warm and wet and we won't.

Got a B-day card from B. Gibson.

Very cool!

Hi Kiwi Steve Miss you..................

It must make the days go by a little easier, eh? What a great time you all will have. I'm at T -42 days.

You won't be getting any HK mail then... or will you???

That stinks Joyce, I would have loved meeting you guys.

Hi Kobi! I've been keeping a lurkful eye on you all.

That's good But we want to unlurk you!
-42 days and counting is awesome!!

Good Morning everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI TOM!!!!!
HI JERRY!!!!

Great card Jerry! Barbara....you done good

Bob, we are from Holland, but we have a coast and it is on the left side of our country... Just kidding...

Hi Patrick, you working today?
I'm working.....hardly; sitting on my arse!

Rob's lifting/working out downstairs in the gym. I should be..........

Should have asked for MOTIVATION for Christmas But I did get a muffler LOL!

Hey Patrick, how we feeling buddy, Louise said you sounded like crap when you called.

I felt that way. I was almost sure one of our big truck hit me and then backed up on me also.

Sorry to hear that Patrick. Take care of yourself!

Patrick, You got a description of that truck driver ? We'll put out an APB on him and run him out of town.

BUT I"M STILL WORKING. TRYING TO MAKE THAT MONEY FOR BONAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Patrick, my friend!! Sorry you are not feeling well, but makin' that Bonaire $$ sounds good!
July, Right?

That's what we be trying for.

The first week of July would be perfect!!!

Tribs, I do believe it's july 5 to the 12 if I'm thinking right.

Doh! Wes leaves to go home on the 4th and I leave on the 7th.

Hola Everyone

Patrick, I hope you feel better.

Don't know if I'll go to Bonaire or not this year, miss it though!! Would like to go w/Rafa and Tamara (they are thinking of learning how to dive while they are in Puerto Rico)

That's great! If they learn to dive, then you will have to take them to Bonaire.

Tribs, I already sent them the DVD (lesson) for a head start, they have several friends who are divers and have asked to join them, so will see - I do hope they do it.

Patrick, feel better buddy!

July will be here before you know it. I have to go before then or someone will get hurt

That's a nice gift! Way to go! I'm off for a while. Must go take care of the critters. Have a great day!

Hi gang, not much time to play today, running out of o-rings too

I love to hold warm o-rings.

Howdy Gang!!
Tom did you bring the big guns with you to work today?
Kobi, let us know how Bon Bini is - doesn't it just burn your hiney when you've just visited the dern vet and off you go again. I swear sometimes I think I should just have direct-deposit with the vet

LOVE the chuckles Freddie and Gail - some are a little too true!

Patrick I sure wish you could take a day off to heal up... I'd be sick too if I worked as much as you do Big hugs and a big hanky for your nose too!

Guy and I are hanging around the house for the next two days --- he's been itching to cut a hole in the hallway ceiling to install an attic ladder and I've got lots of year-end work to do. Rainy weather is welcome!

I don't think I've ever held a warm O-ring....

Amen, sister!!!
My vet is way good lookin', married with 4 kids & drives a shiny, yellow Dodge Viper sooooooo it's new tires all around for him...from me LOL!

KIV, I hope that puppy is better soon.

Patrick, don't ya hate it when the dang truck backs up? Hope you feel better soon.

SSG, I hope Rafa and Tamara do get certified.

Janeeeeen, if Rafa and Tamara learn to dive they should take his Momma to Bonaire (Did that just get me some points or what?) Have fun with the critters this afternoon.

Jerry, warm o-rings are addictive be careful.

Tara, wear that knit cap and I'll let you warm an o-ring or three. Are you Nitrox O-ring certified? They are much more fun to hold.

PegiSue, I hope your web guy finally comes through.

Bob! Good to see ya...and LMAO...yea, all those hello kitty gadgets need a lot of batteries...lol! I'll be doing an Angel City dive for ya soon

I'm off to a wine diner tonight so you kids play nice.
Tom I need some more o-rings, mine are becoming sticky.

Check please.

Jerry, Domaine Rogaine...LMAO!!!!! Happy Belated Birthday.

CB, that card has Michael written all over it...he's the "it's free" guy....lol!

Jerry, wash your orings and next time do it before they dry. Have a great weekend my friend.

Well Jimmy Buffett is singing "Fins", time to lock up and head home. Peace all.
