True. I used to not like spinach, but few years back aquired a taste for it.
Dustdemon, I was just pickin at ya friend. I never mean to harass or hurt anyone.
I understand my humor is not for everyone, so I’m sorry in advance to those I offend.
Now I used to drink some beer, but probably not in 8 years or so. Ok, ok, I’ll drink one if I have a someone over, but that is very rare. Makes me feel weaker and I hate this feeling! I’m releated to and have watched a couple of friends fall to its demons. Killed em dead.
Weed, I smoked it when I was in the army, along with some good hashish, all in Germany. When I became ill I tried it and it just made me more concious of how weak I was. When I was diagnosed with glacoma, (predinsone related) I tried it again to see if it would reduce the pressure in the Eye. It does. Bad as the eye drops make my eyes feel, and look, the pot floors me. Right now I got a hairball and a chicken head buried out back that the voodoo queen put a spell on to see if that will help anything. I’m getting desperate. Now I do use [I]vivid imagination[/I], to ease my tortured soul.The next person has never had a drink of Jack Daniels.

Used to wear a lot of different hats at work, one of which was VAT administrator for the E.U.

You guys are getting me all confused.

That didn’t stop Ben from driving the first day he was home from the hospital! Of course I had to help him walk to the back of the house, through the garage and into the Jeep because he still couldn’t walk on his own very well, and then his feet kept slipping off the pedals and clutch, but he managed to go down the street for Dunkin Donuts. Two days later we went to the suburbs, and he’s been driving ever since. I don’t know how he does it, but as long as his foot doesn’t slip while he’s driving, I don’t complain.

False – because reindeer don’t live on farms. They migrate to the coast during summer and migrate back inland in the fall to stay on the Finnmarksvidda (a mountain plateau) for the winter. The Sami-people who own them go with them, and corral them once or twice a year to count them, mark them and slaughter as many as they need. There are completely wild reindeer in the mountains further south in Norway.

True, When I was 12 years old we went on a camping trip to Canada. We stopped to pitch the tent and we noticed several large animals on the opposite side of a clearing, perhaps 100 yards away. All the children saw the bears and began to question the wisdom of camping next to 4 large brown bears and several cubs. My mother just repeated “Those aren’t bears, they are cows! Quit complaining and pitch the tent.” Well the ‘cows’ got curious and started coming closer. We complained even more vehemently but my mom was having none of it. In her defense, we were near the end of a long camping trip and I imagine she heard just about as much complaining as any human could tolerate. Finally, one of the ‘cows’ reared onto it’s hind legs and just towered over everything around it. This ‘cow’ must have been nine feet tall. My mom sees the rearing ‘cow’ and runs into the car shrieking ‘They’re BEARS! Everyone get into the car!!’ I didn’t want to abandon our camping gear to a group of grizzly bears so I went over to the drivers side and honked the car horn until the bears ran off. My mother still gets teased about those ‘cows’ 36 years later.

We went single file down the trail, and stayed together by calling Marco Polo to each other. We were laughing (more like whistling in the dark!:eek: ) as we very slowly made our way down.

TRUE
This time last Winter I was not able to go down to the family room where our fireplace is. This Winter my husband could not wait to get the wood stove going. I think that will make me too hot all the time and I will have to go into the guest room and shut off the vents and keep the door shut! During the past Summer I made a fire outdoors in the evening just to take the chill off and extend my time outdoors.

true (after looking it up) —- The story goes that during the 1916 flood the king of Siam saw the national flag โred with a white elephantโ hanging upside down. Because of the distress a new flag was adopted that couldn’t be hung upside down. Initially it was a red field with two white bands, but on 28th September 1917, the middle stripe was changed to blue to show solidarity with the Allies during the First World War. The name of the flag is therefore Trairanga, meaning tricolour.

True! The kids left the heater on in the pool, it is 110 degrees! I guess we now have a giant hot tub! Can’t wait to see the gas bill!!
As for your wondering who Tank Johnson is:
Tank Johnson was a Bears defesive man. Let’s just say he has been in tons of trouble! Guns, domestic violence, more guns, arrested, animal abuse, dui, and the Bears kept taking him back! They gave him one last chAnce, and with in 24 hours of leaving jail, was arrested in Arizona for driving irradically at 3 am. In Arizona, the law is they take a blood test for a dui. He was let go from the Bears even before the results came back (rightfully so in my opinion)He should not have even been in a bar at 3 am when he knew he was on a short leash. Anyway, the results came back and he WAS NOT drunk. Since the football issue was brought up, I thought it was a fitting question. You would think I was a guy or something, I love sports!
