I'm a loser :O((((((

 

I didn't get the canoe  :O(

Men, Duhhhhh :O)

 

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the

silent treatment. 

 

On going up to bed the man realised that as his alarm clock appeared to be broken he would need his wife to waken him at 5.00am for an early morning business flight. 

 

 Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper.....'PLEASE WAKE ME AT 5.00AM'....and he left it where he knew she would find it.

 

The next morning the man woke up only to discover it was 9.00am and he had missed his flight. 

Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper beside the bed.

 

The paper said....'IT'S 5.00AM - WAKE UP!'

 

(Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests) LOL

My Shameful Secret :O/

 

I've done it.  I've gone and succumbed to something bad.  Really bad.  But you know what?  I was driven to it! 

 

Even before Noah got the wink from on high, I've wanted a canoe.  Not one of those little lurid coloured kayaks, but a canoe.  A real canoe,  Something big enough to carry both me and a picnic basket and a fishing rod, a radio, camera, books, and from time to time a companion.  Every year I've put it on my Christmas List and for a long time now it's actually been the only thing on my list.

 

My husband is a generous and loving man.  He's a generous and loving man who can't swim.  He doesn't want to go in any canoe, he doesn't want to go on a canoe with me especially, and he doesn't want me to go in a canoe alone.  A new anxiety that he's expressed is that he wouldn't want me to risk the dog's life in a canoe.  My dog was born to swim, unlike my husband who's taken half a century to learn how to paddle without fretting.  And I still think he's just putting a brave face on it so that Connie doesn't laugh at him.

 

Anyway, in 21 hours I may actually own a canoe at long loooong last.  It could be well after Christmas before my husband finds out tho and it'll take another Flood before he gets in it without being sandbagged first.

 

He's never going to know that I've registered with Ebay tho - that's far too dark a secret to share.

Starter for 10 :O)

 

If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?

I'm SO good to you! :O)

Then when you want to read the board, click this link you just saved and select My Boards from the top right.

 

Then links to any boards you've added to the My Boards list will come up.  Select Politics and there it'll be, in all it's old fashioned and much loved squalor.

 

But you will need to make sure that you save the above link to your favourite places or on your toolbar and use this way in every time, otherwise you are diverted back to the new crap html boards.

I'm a Chosen One, yes yes yes I am!

At last, at long long last, after years of wearing my nails down to the quick typing answers to personality test after personality test in hopes of getting some decent feedback I've found the one, the ONE test that's got me to a tee!

Here it is:   Tickle: Tests, Matchmaking and Social Networking  and below is my result.

The devisers of this test are geniuses! 

Altho I have to admit to a sneaky suspicion that taking personality tests is a bit of a giveaway that I'm a bit short on the err....ummm.... personality front.  Even so, lookee here!!  :O))))

Jane, you're a Chosen One!

You're warm, giving, knowing, and patient. Chances are you're not afraid to actively pursue your goals and dreams. As if all that weren't enough, you pretty much set the standard for emotional health by being filled with positive feelings and energy.

You'd be a great person in an emergency and you always return phone calls. You're no fair-weather friend.

And that's just scratching the surface!

Oh yes, geniuses!

Mind, the 'patient' bit isn't guaranteed :O)
