Home, Home on the Page
I've
been wondering what everyone has as his/her home page. I've got my
Xanga set as home. EDIT--A home page is the page your computer goes to
when you start up your internet. Usually when you sign on to IE or
Netscape, it takes you to the IE/Netscape home. You can change this
page to any page you want.
And, since this entry seems so brief (probably because it is), I'll leave you with a joke.
A farmer and a scientist were the only two
passengers left in a train car as it traveled between towns. Neither one
of them had a book or anything to help pass the time.
The scientist asked the farmer if he'd like to play a word game.
"Sure, why not?" replied the farmer.
"Let's make it interesting. For every
question that I ask you, if you miss it, you give me a dollar. For every
question you ask me that I miss, I'll give you $10." This sounded okay
to the farmer, and he asked the first question.
"What has three legs, takes ten hours to climb a tree, but only ten
seconds to climb down?"
The scientist began to think... and think... and think. He continued to
try to come up with the answer for a good 45 minutes until the train was
ready to pull into their stop at the next station.
"I give up,"said the stumped scientist. He pulled ten dollars from his
wallet and handed it over. "I can't come up with the answer. What is it
that has three legs and takes ten hours to climb a tree but only ten
seconds to climb down?"
The farmer reached into his pocket, handed the scientist a one dollar bill,
and replied, "Darned if I know."

Haha...great joke, kind of.
My homepage is set to EWTN...it has a link to the daily readings and I like to view those first thing in the morning as I get on my computer. It helps to put me in focus before I start school.

I just figured out why Linda is using that picture for her profile (which I don't think is particularly flattering). It's the other half of YOUR picture! :o)
Am I right? It looks like your shirt is partially in her picture and it's the shirt you are wearing in yours.

It affected eating(I've had more than enough soup for one week), sleeping (I could only sleep on my left side for three nights--couldn't touch the right side of my face), speaking (at times), and definitely the family photo. DH said I wasn't the same person on both sides of my face.
Getting better now though--although not quickly. Ear is still blocked.
Blessings,
Karen

Nov. 21, 2006 - Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Posted by OurLittleSchoolRoom
I'm half American too. All that seems to get me is no turkey. We didn't celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving because we didn't have any one to come over--and cooking turkey for four seems more effort than it is worth. No one on the list for American Thanksgiving either.
I guess I can be thankful I don't have to clean up after turkey....boo hoo!
Have a great week!

Good joke. Home page is MSN, I figure that way I get all the important news and don't have to watch all the sad, depressing stuff on tv.
