  1. Does anyone know what is going on at the Dixie Gas Station on W. Memorial Dr. in Dallas. A few weekends ago saw several SO there on a Sunday. And then one behind me pulled into there the next night and there is no one there. No business at all. Noticed last night same thing officer there, but no one getting gas! Does anyone know what it up? Thanks

  2. I had a breast reduction/lift and a tummy tuck with some lipo. And yes I love the results. My husband took off a full week to be with me, but 4 days was enough. I am still numb in my abdomin from the procedure that was done March 30 2005. I had 2 drain tubes which were a pain, but overall not that bad. The pain was minimal, I was on Robaxin, a muscle relaxer, mepergan for pain then switched to percocet. I had it done by Marietta Plastic Surgery in Marietta-wwwmariettaplasticsurgery.com I used Dr. Lintner he was certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. 770-425-0118. I called them and they sent me a package of the procedures that I wanted done. They charged $50 consult fee and that goes toward your procedure. Dr. Lintner was really nice he took the time to explain everything and spent an extra 20 minutes with us answering questions that we had. My swelling is almost gone on my flanks from the lipo and I am wearing a mediun shirt where before I was wearing XL. I am in a 14 misses pants too. If you have any other questions you can pm me.

  3. Oneliners

    Even if the voices aren't real, they have some pretty good ideas.

     

    Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.

     

    The most adorable bride of today will be someone's mother-in-law in the future.

     

    Punctual people have nothing better to do.

     

    People who want by the yard, but try by the inch, should be kicked by the foot!

     

    Nothing tastes as good as slim feels.

     

    Save time . . . see it my way.

     

    The only thing you have to do is breathe; Everything else is just optional.

     

    People spend their health for wealth . . . then spend their wealth for health.

     

    Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.

     

    Nobody plans to fail, they just fail to plan.

     

    Worry is interest paid in advance for a debt you may never owe.

     

    Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

     

    The closest some people ever get to a 4.0 in school is their blood alcohol content.

     

    The most precious thing we have is life. Yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

     

    Every time I walk into a singles bar, I can hear Mom's wise words: "Don't pick that up!! You don't know where it's been!!"

    Noise Abatement

    "Flight 1234," the control tower advised, "turn right 45 degrees for noise abatement."

     

    "Roger," the pilot responded, "but we're at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"

     

    "Sir," the radar man replied, "have you ever heard the noise a 727 makes when it hits a 747?"

  4. A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its

    hiding place in the closet.

     

    She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three

    times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for

    mistakes.

     

    Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she

    slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store

    with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

     

    She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he

    was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise.

    Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could

    muster. No good Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on

    the glass counter. That did it!

     

    "And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

    I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said

    without waiting for a reply to his question. "Well, I want to talk to you

    about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's

    really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle."

     

    " I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.

     

    " His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my

    Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle

    cost?"

     

    "We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you,"

    the pharmacist said, softening a little.

     

    "Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the

    rest. Just tell me how much it costs."

     

    The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked

    the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"

     

    " I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. I just know he's

    really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay

    for it, so I want to use my money."

     

    " How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.

     

    "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all

    the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."

     

    "Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents---the

    exact price of a miracle for little brothers. "

     

    He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten

    and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet

    your parents Let's see if I have the miracle you need."

     

    That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in

    neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long

    until Andrew was home again and doing well.

     

    Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them

    to this place. That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I

    wonder how much it would have cost?"

     

    Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and

    eleven cents.plus the faith of a little child.

  5. I have never tried this with peaches only apples and it is wonderful with vanilla ice cream. It is called an apple strudel and peaches can be used.

    cinnamon

    butter

    1/2 tsp salt

    1 cup flour

    In a buttered baking dish put thick layers of chopped apples or peaches. Sprinkle each layer with sugar mixed with cinnamon. Dot with butter. In a mixing bowl sift 1 cup sugar, salt, flour, and baking powder; add egg. Mix until crumbly. Put over apple or peaches. Bake at 350 degrees till crust is brown. 4-6 servings. Enjoy!

  6. Facts about Men

    We might have run these before, but in case you missed -- they're a hoot:

     

    Husbands are like children -- they're fine if they're someone else's.

     

    Never trust a man who says he's the boss at home. He probably lies about other things too.

     

    A woman's work that is never done is the stuff she asked her husband to do.

     

    Go for younger men. You might as well -- they never mature anyway.

     

    Scientists have just discovered something that can do the work of five men -- a woman.

     

    Men's brains are like the prison system -- not enough cells per man.

     

    Men are like place mats. They only show up when there's food on the table.

     

    Men are like mascara. They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

     

    Men are like bike helmets. Handy in an emergency, but otherwise they just look silly.

     

    Men are like parking spots. All the good ones are taken.

     

    Men are like lava lamps. Fun to look at, but not all that bright.

     

    Men are like bank accounts. Without a lot of money, they don't generate much interest.

     

    Men are like high heels. They're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it.

  7. I was sick for 6 months of my pregnancy. I was told to eat crackers in bed before I got up for the day. And I too developed heartburn so I finally realized that any breads including crackers were giving me heartburn so I stopped eating bread products and that helped with the heartburn as for the nasuea, it is all those hormones running through your system. I hope you find some relief!

    The Life of a Cat

    Day 283 Of My Captivity.

     

    My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

     

    Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair; must try this on their bed.

     

    Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

     

    There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

     

    I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

     

     

     

     

     

    An Old Farmer's Advice

    * Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

     

    * Keep skunks, bankers and lawyers at a distance.

     

    * Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

    Signing the Declaration...

    A school teacher was quizzing her students. "Johnny, who signed the Declaration of Independence?"

     

    He said, "Darn if I know."

     

    She was a little put out by his swearing, so she told him to go home and to bring his father with him when he came back. Next day, the father came with his son, sat in the back of the room to observe.

     

    She started back in on her quiz and finally got back to the boy. "Now, Johnny, I'll ask you again. Who signed the Declaration of Independence?"

     

    "Well, heck, teacher," Johnny said, "I told you I didn't know."

     

    The father jumped up in the back, pointed a stern finger at his son, and said, "Johnny, if you signed that darn thing, heck, you darn well better admit it!"

  12. Subject: Love Italian Style

     

    An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his tomato

    garden, but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son,

    Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to

    his son and described his predicament.

     

    Dear Vincent,

    I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my

    tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden

    plot. If you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the

    plot for me.

    Love Dad

     

    A few days later he received a letter from his son.

     

    Dear Dad,

    Not for nothing, but don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried

    the BODIES.

    Love Vinnie

     

    At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and

    dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the

    old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his

    son.

     

    Dear Dad,

    Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under

    the circumstances.

    Love Vinnie

    "War of The Worlds" is continuing to do huge business. You know the H.G. Wells classic where the earth is invaded by aliens and they can't be stopped. They went from city to city vaporizing everything in their path. And California still voted to give them driver's licenses." --Jay Leno

    Here in Kentucky, you don't see too many people hang-gliding. Bubba decided to save up and get a hang-glider. He takes it to the highest mountain, and after struggling to the top, he gets ready to take flight. He takes off running and reaches the edge-- into the wind he goes!

    Paw raises up," Git my gun, Maw."

     

    She runs into the house, brings out his pump shotgun. He takes careful aim. BANG...BANG.....BANG.....BANG! The monster size bird continues to sail silently over the tree tops.

     

    "I think ya missed him, Paw," she says.

     

    "Yeah," he replies, "but at least he let go of Bubba!"

     

     

     

     

     

    Flying

    "I know," said her mother. "I just don't want to be that far off the ground when it's the pilot's time to go."

    Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

    There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

     

    English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.

     

    Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

     

    We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

    Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?

     

    If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

     

    If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

     

    If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

     

    Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

     

    In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

     

    How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

     

    You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

     

    English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

     

    PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"

     

    You lovers of the English language might enjoy this . .

    There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."

     

    It's easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

     

    We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

     

    And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP . We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

     

    We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP .

     

    When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP .

     

    When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP

     

    One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now my time is UP, so......Time to shut UP.....!

     

    Oh...one more thing:

     

    What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?

     

    U-P

    Fishing...

    An oldie, but goodie...

     

    A game warden noticed how a particular fellow named Sam consistently caught more fish than anyone else, whereas the other guys would only catch three or four a day. Sam would come in off the lake with a boat full. Stringer after stringer was always packed with freshly caught trout. The warden, curious, asked Sam his secret. The successful fisherman invited the game warden to accompany him and observe. So the next morning the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's boat. When they got to the middle of the lake, Sam stopped the boat, and the warden sat back to see how it was done.

     

    Sam's approach was simple. He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and threw it in the air. The explosion rocked the lake with such a force that dead fish immediately began to surface. Sam took out a net and started scooping them up. Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden. When he recovered from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam. "You can't do this! I'll put you in jail, buddy! You will be paying every fine there is in the book!"

     

    Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of dynamite. He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with these words, "Are you going to sit there all day complaining, or are you going to fish?"

    Life as a Bear

    In my next life -- I Want to be a Bear...

     

    If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

     

    Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.

     

    If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.

     

    If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them, too. I could deal with that.

     

    If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

     

    Yup..... I wanna be a bear.

  21. Bar Competition

    The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried over time (weight-lifters, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it.

     

    One day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a tiny squeaky voice " I'd like to try the bet" After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.

     

    But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man "what do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?" The man replied "I work for the IRS."

    Choices...

    There was an old country preacher who had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought along the line of choosing a profession. Like many young men, then and now, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do- and he didn't seem overly concerned about it.

     

    One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. What he did was, he went into the boy's room and placed on his study table these three objects: a Bible, a silver dollar, and a bottle of whiskey...

     

    "Now then," the old preacher said to himself, "I'll just hide behind the door here, and when my son comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which of these three objects he picks up. If he picks up the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be o.k. too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a drunkard - a no-good drunkard and Lord, what a shame that would be."

     

    The old man was anxious as he waited, and soon he heard his son's footsteps as he came in the house whistling and headed back to his room. He deposited his books on the bed, as a matter of routine, and as he turned around to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.

     

    With a curious set in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. What he finally did was, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink...

     

    "Lord have mercy," the old man whispered, "He's gonna be a politician!"

     

     

     

    Random Funnies

    After the flood, Noah sent the animals off the ark telling each couple to "go forth and multiply". Later, he came across two snakes. "I thought I told you to go forth and multiply." One of the snakes replied, "We're sorry but we can't. You see we're adders."
