*giggles* I Couldn't Help Myself
A guy is browsing in a pet shop and sees a parrot sitting on
a little perch. It doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy
says aloud, "I wonder what happened to this parrot?"
The parrot replies, "I was born this way. I'm a defective
parrot."
"WOW!" the guy exclaims. "You actually understood and
answered me!"
"I got every word," says the parrot. "I happen to be a
highly intelligent, thoroughly educated bird."
"Oh yeah?", the guy asks, "Then answer this. How do you
hang onto your perch without any feet?"
"Well," the parrot says, "this is very embarrassing but
since you asked, I wrap my willie around this wooden bar like
a little hook. You can't see it because of my feathers."
"Wow" says the guy, "you really can understand and speak
English, can't you!?"
"Actually, I speak both Spanish and English and I can
converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic:
politics, religion, sports,physics, philosophy. I'm
especially good at ornithology. You really ought to buy me.
I'd be a great companion."
The guy looks at the $200 price tag. "Sorry, but I just
can't afford that."
"Pssssssst" says the parrot, "I'm defective, so the truth
is, nobody wants me cause I don't have any feet. You can
probably get me for $20, just make the guy an offer!"
The guy offers $20 and walks out with the parrot. Weeks go
by. The parrot is sensational. He has a great sense of
humor, he's interesting, he's a great pal, he understands
everything, he sympathizes, and he's insightful.
The guy is delighted. One day the guy comes home from work
and the parrot goes "Psssssssssssst" and motions him over
with one wing. "I don't know if I should tell you this or
not, but it's about your wife and the postman."
"What are you talking about?" asks the guy. "When the
postman delivered today, your wife greeted him at the door in
a sheer black nighty and kissed him passionately."
"WHAT?!" the guy asks incredulously. "Then what happened?"
"Well, then the postman came into the house and lifted up
her nighty and began petting her all over" reported the
parrot.
"My God!" he exclaims. "Then what?"
"Then he lifted up the nighty, got down on his knees and
began to lick her all over, starting with her breasts and
slowly going down . . ."
"WELL???" demands the frantic guy, "THEN WHAT
HAPPENED?"
"Damned if I know! I got a hard-on and fell
off my perch!"

A man was sitting on a beach. He had no arms and no legs.
Three women were walking past and felt sorry for the poor man.
The first woman said "Have you ever had a hug?"
The man said "No", so she gave him a hug and walked on.
The second woman said "Have you ever had a kiss?"
The man said "No", so she gave him a kiss and walked on.
The third woman came to him and said "Have you ever been fucked?"
The fellow said "No".
She said "You will be when the tide comes in."

You Are My Heart

You are my heart
You are everything to me
You are my sanity at times
You are cool reason flowing through my mind
You keep the flames of my temper banked
You know how to make me smile in any situation
You know how to stop the tears before they fall
You make me believe in myself
You take the pain from the hurt
You showed me that I could be myself
You work hard to convince me of my good points
You refuse to let me be negative about myself
You have the softest touch with me
You have helped restore faith in myself
You are tender and caring when dealing with me
You are my everything.

Some Laughs
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately
take the words back ....or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....
FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three
kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge
for a shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and
walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't
say a word...he knew better.
SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds
of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type
I had been using. After browsing for several minutes,
I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen
who works at the store. He asked if he could help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I
like playing with men's balls."
THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store
that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking
at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if
we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just looking at
your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.
To this day, my sister never lets me forget.
FOURTH TESTIMONY:
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler
decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving
looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I
told her that if she did not start behaving "right now"
she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in
the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If
you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that
I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence
was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the
tellers stopped what they were doing & I mustered up the
last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my
daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door
closed behind me, were screams of laughter.
FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many
times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems
with potty training and I was on him constantly. One
day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in
between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining
room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and
she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked
to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to
go, and he said "No". kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child
has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me."
Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"
" No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an
accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I
asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?"
This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over
and spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST
FARTS!!" While 30 people nearly choked to death on their
tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best
laugh they'd ever had!
LAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the
future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when
you predict snow but don't get any...a true story...We had
a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to
have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked:
"So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"
Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did
too they were laughing so hard!

Wiccans Ordered to Not Expose Son to Beliefs
Friday, May 27, 2005
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — A Wiccan activist and his ex-wife are challenging a court's order that they must protect their 9-year-old son from what it calls their "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals."
The Indiana Civil Liberties Union has appealed the stipulation written into the couple's divorce order, saying it is unconstitutionally vague because it does not define mainstream religion.
Thomas Jones, a Wiccan activist who has coordinated Pagan Pride Day in Indianapolis for six years, said he and his ex-wife, Tammy Bristol, were stunned by the order. Neither parent has taken their son to any Wiccan rituals since it was issued, he said.
"We both had an instant resolve to challenge it. We could not accept it," Jones said Thursday. "I'm afraid I'll lose my son if I let him around when I practice my religion."
A court commissioner wrote the unusual order after a routine report by the court's Domestic Relations Counseling Bureau noted that both Jones and his ex-wife are pagans who send their son, Archer, to a Catholic elementary school.
In the order, the parents were "directed to take such steps as are needed to shelter Archer from involvement and observation of these non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals." The judge let the wording stand.
The order has been criticized by various religious and advocacy groups.
Barry Lynn, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said judges cannot substitute their religious judgment for that of parents in regard to the upbringing of children. "This is an absurd result, because in the eyes of the law being a pagan should be no different from being a Presbyterian," he said.
Wiccans contend their religion is becoming more mainstream. The parents' appeal says there were about 1 million pagans worldwide in 2002, more than the numbers who practice Sikhism, Taoism and other established religions in the United States.
Wiccans consider themselves witches, pagans or neo-pagans, and say their religion is based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.
"There continues to be misunderstanding and prejudice and discrimination, not only against Wicca but against any religion that is not centered on monotheism," said the Rev. Elena Fox, high priestess and senior minister of Circle Sanctuary (http://www.circlesanctuary.org/), a Wiccan church and pagan resource center near Madison, Wis.
The head of a conservative Christian group also sided with the Wiccans.
"The parents have the right to raise their child in that faith, just as I have the right to raise my child in the Christian faith," said Micah Clark, executive director of the American Family Association of Indiana (http://www.afain.net/).

Post Op Report
*grins* I haven't been around much lately because I had surgery on May 12th and for the past couple of weeks I have been working on recovering - namely sleeping and taking it easy (without trying to push myself into over doing it). The wound is healing nicely. My doctors are happy with my progress.
I am surrounded by love. I wonder if everyone is as lucky as I am to have such a wonderful network of friends and family. I just want to say Thank You to my treasured friends and let them know how much they mean to me.

This Side Of Me
I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
And I want to know you feel like this
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I want to feel your hand in mine
And I want to feel that rush in my spine
And I want to wear the scent of you
And do all the things you want me to
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I feel the danger, the separation
I want to take your invitation
This separation it's all around
I need this side of me
I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stitch my clothes in sin
And in the dark
I want to find that door and go within
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me

You Melt Me

You make my heart melt
The simplest things you do
You pamper me without prompting
At times feeling like it is undeserved
You simply state "I adore you"
Letting those words say it all
You make me feel like a cherished princess
No one has ever made me feel that way
Its a new feeling
At times foreign and difficult to understand
You are the light at the end of a darkened tunnel
You are the safe haven that I needed
You make me feel loved for every facet that shows up
Each blossoming under your loving touch
Feeling the love and growing
Ever-changing.

You've Got A Way
You've got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say -- you really got a way
You've got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see... you got a way with me
Chorus: It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love
You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me
Chorus: It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love
Bridge: Oh, how I adore you
Like no one before you
I love you just the way you are
Chorus: It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love
It's just the way you are

A Snapshot Of A Typical Conversation...
Friendship...

Many people will walk in and out of your life;
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

The dictionary says: Friend (frend) noun.
1. A person whom one knows, likes and trusts.
2. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; comrade.
3. One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group.
4. An acquaintance.
The dictionary makes one small omission though.
It doesn't speak of the years that a friendship
endures, the laughter that fills the air when
friends are together, the support, understanding
and comfort a friend can offer or the anguish you
cannot escape from when a friend is dying.
The dictionary, I'm afraid, cannot begin to define
the word: Friend. So then what is this magic called
Friendship? Is there a magic wand that silently
transforms you and those special people on a journey
into, what sometimes can be a lifelong relationship?
Is it mutual admiration, common interests, the need
to be a friend? Or is it just an enduring tie that
bonds you together, allows you to almost think as one
and gives you one of life’s greatest joys.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Friendships are precious jewels. Treat them as such.
Enjoy them! Celebrate them! And never take them for granted.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Friends, you and me
You brought another friend
And then there were 3
We started our group
Our circle of friends.

There is no beginning or end. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.

The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is
quite real for everyone. It requires no force or
effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than
changing our ideas about what is normal.

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our
wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Tender Love

Two little sweet ones
So innocent and pure
Cherished and protected
Goodness shining through.
Sisters of the heart
Sharing dreams and thoughts
Sisters of similar minds
Sharing their hearts and love.
Learning from each other
Loving unconditionally
Enjoying their friendship
Comforting each other.
Continually misunderstood
Eccentricities reason for scorn
Jealousy a challenge to overcome
Hiding facets to be accepted.
Caring about others
Goodness deep inside
Pleasure in just being
Love and acceptance.
