Good morning all at AD. We had one hell of a thunderstorm last night in Siler City, NC. We did need the rain, it woke me up, a biggie.
gerry, listen to his stories as much as you can, I lost my dad when I was very young, still remember him like it was yesterday and miss the stories.
To all, have a nice day. George

good night
Quote: Sex Change Pain
A group of guys and one girl are sitting together at a ball game. During the game the guys notice the girl knows just as much about the game as themselves, and are really impressed.
After the game they ask her "how is it that you know so much about baseball?"
She says, "Well, I used to be a guy and got a sex change."
The guys are amazed, but very curious about the process. "what was the most painful part of the process? Was it when they cut off your penis?"
"That was very painful, but was not the most painful part."
"Was it when they cut off your testicles?"
"That was very painful, but was not the most painful part."
"What was the most painful part?"
"The part that hurt the most was when they cut my salary in half!"

Quote: the first car he'd seen when everyone still used horse and buggy (everyone thought the auto was a "phase" LOL!; the roar in the sky when every got their first view of the airplane. He's got great stories about how they shared their family farm with the Indians in Quebec. The telephone, indoor plumbing, the radio ... it goes on and on. Strangely enough, the one inventioned which impressed him the most was the invention of the ball point and it amazes him to this day how they can write for so long without ever having to dip it in an ink well LOL! I love you, Dad!!!!
Enjoy these moments in time Gerry..... they will have to last you a life time and guide you along the way. Again, cheers to you both, you have my best wishes.

@Onya ... thanks my friend. Of all my aunts, uncles, cousins etc. (we have a huge family) my dad is everyone's favorite. We still joke with him about my mom, who was much more proper than dad; her most frequent and memorable words at the table were to my dad. She would always tell him "T'es plus pire que les enfants" ... "You're even worse than the kids" LOL!
Good morning all! Busy day today but at least the ol' bones don't hurt much today!

@Billyboy...good for you, meboy! Beautiful language, French is and much more sensible than English. I'd love to hear French with a british accent LOL! The funniest though was when I went to Montreal last and went to a Chinese restaurant. French with a Chinese accent sound really bizarre LOL!

afternoon
Quote: An elderly gentleman went to the local drug store and asked the pharmacist for the little blue "Viagra" pill.
The pharmacist asked, "How many?"
The man replied, "Just a few, maybe a half dozen. I cut each one into four pieces.
The pharmacist said, "That's too small a dose. That won't get you through intimacy."
The old fellow said, "Oh, I'm past eighty years old and I don't even think about intimacy much anymore. I just want it to stick out far enough so I don't pee on my new golf shoes."

Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there
a stupid song about him?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?
They're both dogs!
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap,
why didn't he just buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside
the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face,
he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride,
he sticks his head out the window?
Do you ever wonder why you gave me
your e-mail address in the first place?

BBQ Rules!
We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
Here comes the important part:
(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine....
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
Important again:
(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine....
(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

LOL! I guess the "dangerous" part is when the male actually lights the grille; a mushroom cloud of nearly nuclear proportion!
Good morning all!

i just ordered the program,its only 40 dollars
Report: little-known AV packages outdo those of Symantec, McAfee, Microsoft
Quote: The winner of this antivirus sweepstakes was a product called Avira, which managed to detect and defeat 71 percent of the unknown malware. Right behind it was the equally-obscure NOD32, which swept away 68 percent of the threats. The more well-known commercial products fared more poorly. Norton Antivirus and McAfee tied at a mere 24 percent, while Microsoft's OneCare did even worse by only identifying 18 percent of the new threats. Resting at the bottom of the barrel were Kaspersky and eScan at nine percent, and AVG, which detected only eight percent of malicious software in addition to producing many false positives.
