Personalized Gift Cards


Posted in Just for Fun

Here is a genius idea for giving a gift that anyone would love to have.  I love to give giftcards for any occassion. I just figure that you can't go wrong with giving cash.  But being the person that I am, I do not like the idea of just handing over some money and calling it a gift.  To me, although totally practical, giving money does not feel to personal.  It takes no thought to grab a giftcard and throw it in an envelope.  But, now I find out that you can completely personalize the giftcard.  Now this is something I can deal with.  It is like the best of both worlds.  It is so practical yet still personal as well.  You can choose to have any picture you would like on the  Gift Cards.  Out of town grandparents would love a card with a picture of the grandkids on it.  The ideas are endless.  Anyways I wish I would have found this before Father's Day.  Oh well, there is always next year.

Uplifting Father's Day Idea


Posted in Just for Fun

Last year around Mother's Day we had thought about taking a trip to Niagara Falls.  And stopping in New York City to see the sights.  Unfortunately we were not able to go at the time due to certain circumstances.  But how cool would it have been to be able to go.  And more than that to see the city from a NYC helicopter tour high above the city.  It would be spectacular I am guessing.  You can buy gift certificates from Xperience Days for several different types of helicopter tours depending on the recipient and what kind of experience they are looking for.  This would make a great gift for any father for Father's day whichis right around the corner.  the other great thing is that the recipient of the gift can use it at their own convenience.

Need A Good Laugh?


Posted in Just for Fun

I am amazed at how much the Reader's Digest has to offer.  Really I keep finding out more and more of the diverse topics that are at the website.  There are uplifting stories and parenting tips.  And now I find out that they have a whole section to make you laugh.  And let's just admit that we all could use a good laugh these days. 

There are so many funny jokes and stand up comedy videos.  Maybe you have a son like mine who thinks he is a comedian.  There is no end to the amount of material he can find at this site.   You can actually watch the comedy acts on your computer.  Maybe you just need some new material because the same knock knock jokes are getting a bit old.  This is one of my favorite jokes they have.

You can find all the material that your funny little heart can desire by going to the RD Laughs Main page.  Once there you will see that the topics are easy to navigate.  I absolutely adore the Cute Pets gallery.  You can't help but smile when you look through the photos in there.

There are jokes galore.  You can even submit your own jokes if you would like to.  They have cartoons that are pretty funny.  And the comedy acts are hilarious.  You can even sign up for a jokes newsletter. 

So if you are in need of a little bit of laughter check it out.

(Not) Wordless Wednesday


Posted in Just for Fun

Of course I have a great Wordless Wednesday post all ready for you.  I posted it at my other blog This Side of Eternity.  But it is so cute that I feel that I need to post it here too. 

DSCF3687

This is a picture of my garage.  Well if you look closely you'll see my dog poking here head out fromunder the garage door.  The question of the day was how in the world did she get in there?  I thought about it all day.  I realized today that Richie must have unknowingly closed up the garage with her still in there.  Our garage is so full of tools and equipment that its very possible for a dog to get lost in there.  The good thing is she is out now and very happy to be.

The Rules For Men


Posted in Just for Fun



Please note.. these are all numbered '1 '


ON PURPOSE!

I have seen these before but thought I would share them with you.

*Kristie*

 

 

 



1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon or the changing of the tide. Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem
only
if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for
.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the
other one.


1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials...

1. Christopher Columbus did
NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no
idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it
will
be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying , but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...
Really .


1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.


1. I am in shape.
IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
Round
These are our rules!

Wordless Wednesday


Posted in Just for Fun

So I know that this is supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, but I have a hard time posting this picture without some kind of an explanation.  So here is the picture:

DSCF3460

I was making baked potatos for dinner last night and pulled out this gargantuous monster potatoe!  I think this thing is on steroids.  No joke it was so large that it took three of us to eat it.  I put the phone in the picture for size comparison.  The potato on the right was actually quite large until I sat it next to the giant.  I think we'll name him Goliath. 

You can check out other Wordless Wednesday posts here and here.
