I'm gonna' have one of the guys arrest me, Jackie - you know just to be sure.

Good idea.  I'm sure you've broken the laws of physics more than once, when you caught your drink mid-fall without losing a drop.

My brother is a photographer.  He doesn't really make much money at it but it keeps him off the streets and sometimes he gets to take pictures of pretty women so he keeps trying. :) He gets highly upset if someone uses one of his pictures, no matter how innocent the usage.  I guess I understand from that standpoint.  Liesje and Gina both have had pictures they've taken used on commercial websites without their permission. 

I doubt the lady with the crossed toes cares unless she's selling that photo to people with a foot fetish.  lol

So, Deb, that video you and Mr. W made after you met Richard Gere, you probably shouldn't post that.

Bwahahaha!  Good one, Tina. :)  Deb, I already plagiarized the pic of you and Richard Gere.  I photoshopped you out of it and put a picture of me in your place.  I used a picture of me when I didn't look old enough to be his Mom.  It's going to be our Christmas cards this year. :) 

Hi everyone!  Have been buried in work and packing.

So....the house we really wanted and got, they man suddenly decided he wanted the moon and the stars....including FOUR months rent to get into it.  Ummmm, no.  So we decided to go with a different house, and darned if the dude didn't email wanting to make some changes in the down AND in the lease.  So, we're moving this weekend and at this point, don't know what house we're moving into!  Gonna go batty if we don't have a resolution VERY soon!

Looks like summers last harrah is today....high temps in the 40's and 50's the rest of the week.  Much as we knew it was coming.......

ETA:  fingers crossed for your DH Cathy!

I deleted the Richard Gere picture.  He probably WOULD think I was a geek if he had to sue me.

Deb W.

I wish I'd never said anything. :(  

@JackieG

I wish I'd never said anything. :(  

Really? With everything in the world exposed on FB and YouTube and everything else..tweeted or pinned.....what the heck is the difference, Deb, you brought a smile to our faces and Jackie you made me laugh and look forward to my christmas card too

@JackieG

I wish I'd never said anything. :(

Nah  . . . . . don't feel bad Jackie.  I probably DID break some freakin' law by posting that picture.  But you all saw it and were sufficiently jealous - - - so I'd say my work was done. 

Deb W.

Well I personally appreciated the pictures and comments. I was looking and reading at work and it gave me quite the chuckle, so thank you. I'm worried to the point of feeling sick about this test. I've prayed more than I can remember. Can I come stay with someone tonight if he doesn't pass?

I was able to leave the meeting early since they went to lunch and I couldn't go because I had Shane. He was barkier than usual because there were so many new people that he wanted to say "hi" to and the one person who didn't seem like a dog person actually responded to him the best. I was able to get Shane settled down and my boss knocks on a wall to mimic someone knocking on the door. Not funny!

Glenda- I'm super sorry for all the hassles with the houses and hope it all work out for the best. Nothing like some added stress to a move - ugh!

You and Shane can come to our house and if you found some one to do Shanes nails...bring them too.... my boys need a mani-pedi too.

Bad news is that he didn't pass :(. He had a critical fail on the 3rd station and it sounded like it was something minor but that doesn't matter. Last year only 6 out of nearly 40 applicants made it through the written and practical, so it's a tough process. The good news is that DH is taking it really well. I think it's because he isn't mad at himself but just frustrated with the process. They only give it every 2 yrs and he says he's ready to let go of the dream. We'll see...

Sheesh, I said I'm sorry for saying anything.  It's not like I made up the rules of the forum or enforce them.  I guess I'll never learn to keep my big mouth shut.

We did a bunch of fall cleanup around the yard this weekend. Just in time... It snowed here yesterday. It always snows before Halloween, but it usually doesn't stick. It did today, and we're supposed to get more tomorrow. *sigh* I'm getting to be such a winter scrooge in my old age. lol

I hope the vizsla and jrt find their way home. :(

Sorry about DH's test, Cathy.

I don't think anyone takes copyrighted web content seriously anymore. As long as you're not claiming it as yours or selling it, I don't think it's that big of a deal. But that's just me.
