People say that there is no difference between ‘finished’ and ‘complete’.
I say there is.....
Marry the right person, and you’re ‘complete’
Marry the wrong person, and you’re ‘finished’
But once you grab that right one dazzle, the rest takes care of itself.
Marry? Complete? Have any more unrealistic ideas for us? Because I have a quota I need to meet of crazy crap I've seen on the internet and it would really help me out. Thx.
Bobcat- Thanks for the chuckle.....Humor is needed these days.
Lol @ bobcat, how true! Heres some animal trivia for you: Did you know there are more dogs than people in Paris, twice as many pigs than people in Denmark and more chickens in the world than humans?
Add to that all the humans that are chicken and that would eliminate half the humans.
And putting it in that the perspective, add in all those humans who are refered to as dogs, and those who are refered to as pigs, then that really iliminates a large part of the human race. And then you add in us cats and that takes care of the rest.
Great add on banasy, That never crossed my mind.
Good morning@bobcat@Ancient Texan@chrissy
And so good to see you good folks dispensing some cheer early on. Thanks
@ little mister
This is now the norm here.
Senate blocks Hagel nomination in delaying tactics. No surprises there, we know ( but perhaps most Americans don't) where those up on the Hill get there orders from.
I expressed my total amazement at the news of the republican filibuster last night. Who'd a thunk it ?
Or that some representatives would use extortion via fillibuster...I am not at all suprised at the duplicity of people.
Good afternoon to you also @ saywhat! As for the other just doing what i can.
I couldve told todays Quirky News about Mondays Zombie alert issued via Montanas emergency alert system. Lets just say no one fell for it, proving their brains have not yet been eatin!
Zombie alert? Seriously?
Lol @ banasy, i kid you not. Its the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Well i added the brain part but yea someone hacked into their alert system.
Ahhhh, I see! That's funny. Hopefully there wasn't a reaction like the radio broadcast of "War Of The Worlds" received. Good times.
Lol, you did read the last half of that right?
That no one fell for it, yes. I was making a joke with my alluding to the Orson Wells broadcast.
@chrissy- too bad the GOP congress' brain are alllllllll eaten up.lol
Lol yea looking back on that kinda boggles the mind, that that many people would be so gullible dont it? And @ Scottish Mama, are we SURE they had any to begin with?
@chrissy- benefit of a doubt?lol
And you know this $5 billion in spending cuts that theyre trying to come up with? Its pretty simple since we give $50 billion in foreign aid a year it should be a no-BRAINer! Lol. Aha proving my brain has not yet been eatin either! Lol
@banasy- like the sky is falling congress? GOP Fillibusters stopping any kind of movement toward recovery.
Lol here we go with the *crap* topic again. That word also applies to what the wonderful GOP is trying to pull dont it?
