OK I'LL take this thing over to page 113 bad number!!

JohnR · 02-17-2002, 07:00 PM

Nope - i don't use any stealth tactics... I try to post more than a few on this thread but I've been slammed at work and at home... Fortunately TheBetterHalf has been racking up the pages here for me

...

I'm having a lot of fun with this thread too but I haven't been on when it's in "Chat Mode"

- You, Jenn, your Red counterpart, GB, & Goose have been the fire on this thread....

So -what's this about Toggage?

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:00 PM

I have a dream, and it's to take this page to 114 all by my little self......

Can I do it? I don't know, but I'm sure going to try.....

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:01 PM

Okay, here goes, I can only hope to do justice to what Bloo and Jenn did last night - you guys are awesome!

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:02 PM

I was trying to catch up this morning and do a little posting, but it took me too long to get through the 20 or so pages that went up last night....

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:03 PM

HooWee! I up over 40 posts - this is truly remarkable for me.

I usually don't have much to add with the fishin' stuff, but boy I can ramble with the best of them....

GBOUTDOORS · 02-17-2002, 07:04 PM

Hey this was my page did you ask first? Maybe Bloo likes company but I'm kind of shy myself and some times like to be left alone.

GBOUTDOORS · 02-17-2002, 07:06 PM

TBH is ok you can have the rest of 113 thanks for the help. John tog tourney???

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:08 PM

If you don't want to take a break, GB, I don't mind sharing. I am the youngest of five sisters, so I know all about sharing - well, more like waiting my turn until everyone else says it's OK for me to do something.....

GBOUTDOORS · 02-17-2002, 07:08 PM

Now look what I have done scared poor TBH away. Iddi not meen it really.

GBOUTDOORS · 02-17-2002, 07:10 PM

youngest of four here and the closthes never fit right after someone else has already used them for a year.

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:13 PM

I hear you - try being a girl in the 70's and wearing your older sisters clothes that were in during the 60's. Not only that, but our Mom made the clothes.

I remember one of my 'favorite' outfits were purple and while bellbottom pants with a red,white and blue shirt.

Whhooooo - I was STYLIN'

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:21 PM

Okay, from one member of a big family to another:

Big Family

After an overnight flight to meet my father at his latest military assignment, my mother wearily arrived at Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany with my eight siblings and me -- all under age 11. Collecting our many suitcases, the ten of us entered the cramped customs area. A young customs official watched our entourage in disbelief, ''Ma'am,'' he said, ''do all these children and this luggage belong to you?''
''Yes, sir,'' my mother said with a sigh, ''they're all mine.''

The customs agent began his interrogation: ''Ma'am, do you have any weapons, contraband or illegal drugs in your possession?''

''Sir,'' she calmly answered, ''if I'd had any of those items, I would have used them by now.''

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:27 PM

Anybody else out there besides GB?

It's Sunday night and tomorrow's a holiday.

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:31 PM

Not that I work outside the home, but it's nice having the other half around for an extra day!

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:32 PM

Half posting, half watching a Start Trek TNG marathon on TNN -

it's a good episode

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:34 PM

It's a two parter - involving 'Q' and Picard traveling back and forth in time

GBOUTDOORS · 02-17-2002, 07:34 PM

That was a good one TBH sorry I left you for a minue there but I saw the name jredmond as a moderator and took a look at his last post and then knew he must be the one John told me about yesterday. What a work of art he must have been. Jane and I are off for a walk in the rain have fun keeping the pages going.

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:35 PM

Thanks GB - I dedicate the effort of moving ahead to you!!!

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:36 PM

who knew, made it to 114 already - time flies when you are babbling about almost nothing......

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:39 PM

I always did like a good TNG episode. I think my favorite one was...

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:47 PM

Oops, took a break for a minute -- where was I?

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:50 PM

Oh yeah, my favorite episode -- I'd have to say it was the one where the Enterprise got caught in a time/space anomaly and kept repeating a sequense of events that ended with the Enterprise blowing up....

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:52 PM

Anyone else a fan of TNG?

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:56 PM

Here's another joke that I like:

First Grade Proverbs

A first grade teacher collected well-known proverbs. She gave each kid in the class the first half of the proverb, and asked them to fill in the rest. Here's what the kids came up with:

Better to be safe than... punch a 5th grader.
Strike while the... bug is close.
It's always darkest before... daylight savings time.
Never underestimate the power of... termites.
You can lead a horse to water but... how?
Don't bite the hand that... looks dirty.
No news is... impossible.
A miss is as good as a... Mr.
You can't teach an old dog... math.
If you lie down with dogs, you... will stink in the morning.
Love all, trust... me.
The pen is mightier than... the pigs.
An idle mind is... the best way to relax.
Where there is smoke, there's... pollution.
Happy is the bride who... gets all the presents.
A penny saved is... not much.
Two is company, three's... The Musketeers.
None are so blind as... Helen Keller.
Children should be seen and not... spanked or grounded.
If at first you don't succeed... get new batteries.
You get out of something what you... see pictured on the box.
When the blind lead the blind... get out of the way.
There is no fool like... Aunt Edie.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and... you have to blow your nose.

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 07:58 PM

I wonder how close I am to 115?

I wonder if it's really going to snow tonight?

redcrbbr · 02-17-2002, 08:00 PM

redcrbbr · 02-17-2002, 08:01 PM

redcrbbr · 02-17-2002, 08:03 PM

TheBetterHalf · 02-17-2002, 08:08 PM

Here's a joke, we'll see how the administrator feels about it:

Guy walks into a bar and see a beautiful blonde. She's drinking alone and looks a little sad. The guy, thinking he has nothing to lose, goes over and starts talking to her. Strangely enough, the blonde starts talking to him.

The bartender comes over and asks, "Liquor?"

The guy answers, "Liquor -- I don't even know her!!"

Oh, I crack myself up!
