A dog wedding...

This news in from England

Harrods stages a dog wedding

Pampered pooches Timmy the Bichon Frise and Muffin the Shih Tzu have got married at Harrods.

Timmy walked Muffin down the aisle for the ceremony in front of invited guests at the famous Knightsbridge store.

The couple shared a kiss and their own wedding cake before being whisked off by horsedrawn carriage.

The unique dog wedding was part of Harrods' Anything is Possible season.

The initiative is designed to show off the potential of Harrods' 1.2 million square feet of retail space and 330 different departments.

Last week, staff gift-wrapped a helicopter for a romantic businessman who wanted to surprise his wife.

From Ananova news

sounds almost as strange as the woman that married a dolphin...

Hurricanes - Not the University of Miami kind...

Hurricanes - Not the University of Miami kind...

You might be a Floridian if . . .


  • You exhibit a slight or maybe an extreme twitch when introduced to anyone with the first names of Charley, Frances, Ivan or Jeanne.


  • Your refrigerator and/or freezer never has more than $20 worth of food in it at any given time.


  • You're looking at paint for the plywood on your windows, to match and accent the house color.


  • You think of your hall closet/safe area as "cozy and quaint".


  • You no longer worry about relatives visiting during the summer months.


  • You're putting a collage together on your driveway of roof shingles from your neighbor's homes.


  • Your street has more than 5 "NO WAKE" signs posted.


  • You recognize people in line at the free ice, water and food locations.


  • You stop what you're doing and clap, whistle and wave when you see a convoy of power company trucks come down your street. You're depressed when they don't stop.


  • You now think the $5500 whole house generator seems quite reasonable.


  • You look forward to discussions about the merits of "cubed, block and dry ice".


  • And finally, you might be a Floridian if . . .You ask your sister up north to start saving the Sunday Real Estate classifieds.

smoking room


Here is an actual picture of a smoking room. Some say "smoking kills" and this is a good way to drive this point home. What a way to encourage quitting smoking...
Looks like last rites to me.

9-11-2006

911
on this 9th day of September 2006, may we always remember to mourn for the lost.
May the truth of what really happened on this day come to light.
May the darkness be exposed....

Looks like the devil's face in the smoke of the twin towers.

Wedding Party

IT WAS a very large wedding party, and afterwards the wedding photographer took a long time with getting the family and friends groups together for the pictures.

The groom sat nearby with me, waiting with barely concealed impatience.

"Now I'd like to get the bride alone," the wedding photographer finally said. Leaning towards me, the groom whispered, "So would I, buddy, so wouldI...!!!!"

Woman's speak - Understanding women

Some time ago we gave a list of words and new definitions by gender.
These were some added suggestions that seem to fit . . .

FINE - This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES - If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING - This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD - This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it. You will pay dearly for this one....

LOUD SIGH - This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement oftenmisunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over"Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY - This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man."That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS - A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

Actions speak louder than words...

It is said that actions speak louder than words...

This is one instance where this is a truth.

For one young New Zealand couple, from Auckland, this is so very true.

Their wedding had all the ingredients of a perfect day.

It also had a little something extra to make it a first for New Zealand.

The bride and groom of the wedding, Sara Pivac and Darryl Alexander, were both born deaf.

They are said to be the first couple in the country to be married by a deaf officiant.

Getting married by sign language...

I hope they live happily ever after...
