We’ve made it to June, 2006. Where has the time gone? I’ve been out of work an entire month, and haven’t even put a resume together. I’ve been quite busy! I put out a vegetable garden, actually two of them, and several flower beds. I’ve moved and stacked a cord of firewood by myself.
I cleaned out the attic and had a yard sale. Then I cleaned out the basement, and put a ton of stuff out for garbage pickup. However, 
they only picked up what was in trash bags. The rest I will have to pay someone to haul off. We celebrated Gothgrrl’s birthday a month early, and she’s now legally turned eight. Doesn’t she look very grown up? Sigh. I look at this picture and start to sing songs from Fiddler on the Roof. The girls and I have taken a few trips, and ev
en remembered to take pictures once! While I was busy making myself a workshop in the basement, my daughters were busy building a "secret hiding place" out of the scrap I was trying to get rid of. They are pretty proud of the results so far. As you read this, we will be attendin
g our China Travel Group Reunion, so I won't be able to reply to any email or comments til Monday. After that, its swim lessons and Vacation Bible School, then I can ship the kids off to their cousin’s home and take a private road trip. This one is guaranteed to be some fun! After that.. well, I guess I better start looking for a job.
This week, I’ve linked to Neatorama twice, and both days, they were off line at least part of the time, so if you haven’t already, take a look at The Top 15 Fat Cats and the Top Ten Coolest BBQ Grills

TWO QUICKIES
Q: How many men does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: One. He just holds it up there and waits for the world to revolve around him. Or three. One to screw in the bulb and two to listen to him brag about the screwing part.
Bob says to his friend Bill, "My doctor says if I don't give up sex, I'll be dead in a week." "Why is that?" Bill asks. Bob replies, "I've been screwing his wife."

Some nice vibes from The Cloud Appreciation Society.
You know the old saying, “never date a man who is rude to the waiter”. You can add “NEVER date a man who is this cheap with a secretary!” I love the way he got what’s coming to him.

LETS HAVE SOME PUN!
1. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. However, all the league records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire. Thus we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
2. A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
3. A marine biologist developed a race of genetically engineered dolphins that could live forever if they were fed a steady diet of baby seagulls. One day his supply of the birds ran out, so he had to go out and trap some more. On the way back, he spied two lions asleep on the road. Afraid to wake them, he gingerly stepped over them. Immediately, he was arrested and charged with transporting young gulls across sedate lions for immortal porpoises.
4. A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk remedies with the assistance of a tribal brujo who indicated that the leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the brujo looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like these, who need enemas?
5. Back in the 1800s the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and since they already made the cases for pocket watches, decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling West. It turned out that although their watches were of finest quality, their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of the statement, "He who has a Tates is lost!"
6. A thief broke into the local police station and stole all the lavatory equipment. A spokesperson was quoted as saying, "We have absolutely nothing to go on.
7. An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine man. After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin strip of elk hide and gave it to the chief, instructing him to bite off, chew and swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a month, the medicine man returned to see how the chief was feeling. The chief shrugged and said, "The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."
8. A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, "I must have taken Leif off my census."
9. There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant and the first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws 
of the other two hides.
By the way, the friend who sent me these puns knows the guy who wrote them. He entered them and one other in a contest. He figured with 10 entries he couldn't lose. As they were reading the list of winners he was really hoping one of his puns would win, but unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
Are you a MySpace Dumbass? I have to admit here that I have a page on MySpace. Its only so I can comment to a few friends who reside there, and advertise this site. I also lie about my age, but its NOT to make me seem OLDER! Its because its nobody’s business. Yeah, thats the ticket!
Conclave Obscurum is a slightly disturbing, yet fascinating graphic user interface. If you were so inclined, you could spend all day exploring this! (Thanks, Bill!)

You're a pretty quirky person, but you're just normal enough to hide it.
Congratulations - you've fooled other people into thinking you're just like them!
This <a href="http://blog.paulsveda.com/">site</a> isn't a comedy site but he sure has some beautiful photos. Paul Sveda is a photographer in Ontario, Canada. Unfortunately he doesn't update his blog often but there is some beautiful work in the past posts & he lists some info about taking them that can be helpful to those of us wanting to improve our own photography.
I have a funny post "Trailer Park Dictionary" on Saturday that might be some material for you to use someday.
But then again, my Quirk factor = 55% so maybe that explains it!
