Good Morning, Do, Today is Friday, February 10 Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!  Beatiful full moon out. The Chinook blew away the -30, shook 8" of snow off the trees, blew half of that eastwards across the prairies, and started to thaw what fell to the ground. It gave it's name to the migyhtiest helicopter, and it is quite obvious, why. In a week, after the Chinook has crossed the prairies, picked up moisture from the Great Lakes, and collided with cold Atlantic air, it will be called "The Alberta Clipper" and will dump onto Toronto and Chicago. We call that area "The Far East". Left wingers and politicians live there, nice and cozy with Alberta oil and gas and taxes. The thought of them getting dumped on next week does not grieve us at all. In the meantime we enjoy the warm and rambunctious Chinook and the very pretty moonshine on what's left of all the snow. It is times like this when I wish I was not the only one walking and enjoying the night. Have FUN!

The dog's owner stood nearby, a gun in his hand.The preacher looks at the owner sheepishly and says, "Looks as if I killed your dog." "Sure does." "I'm sorry. Was it a valuable dog?" "I wouldn't say that." "Well, suppose I gave you a hundred dollars. Would that be enough?" "Well, I don't know." "Two hundred dollars. That should do it." "Sounds good." The preacher reached into his pocket and came up with the money. Pressing it into the man's hand, he said, "I'm sorry I spoiled your plans to go hunting." "I wasn't going hunting.

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Cheryl Ann Morris, 54, Alachua, Floriduh  Drunk Florida woman drives into ditch, says shes dead  An Alachua woman drove drunkenly into a ditch Wednesday and told police she was dead, Florida Highway Patrol said. At about 5:26 p.m., Cheryl Ann Morris, 54, crashed her black Dodge Intrepid into a ditch at County Road 232 and Northwest 202nd Street, according to an incident report. When troopers asked her if she was injured, she said she was dead, according to the report. Morris told police a silver truck drove her off the road. Troopers noticed she slurred her words and kept repeating herself. One asked if Morris was wearing her seat belt, and she responded, What, do I look stupid? as she attempted to fasten it across her lap, according to the report. She was walked to an FHP car and put in the back seat, according to the report. When troopers searched the area, they found a small bottle of wine, which a witness said Morris had in her possession. Morris said she only drank two beers during the evening, according to the report. Morris performed poorly on field sobriety exercises and refused a breathalyzer test. Police arrested her on charges of driving under the influence and property damage.

The teacher smiled and said, "I'd like to talk to your mother or father." Little Johnny said, "Sorry, but they ain't here." "Little Johnny!" she said, "what is it with your grammar?"

 Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Making Chocolate Dipped Wafer Cookies By lalala... [795 Posts, 103 Comments] These chocolate dipped wafer cookies would make a great gift for your Valentine this year. Ingredients: strawberry wafers white chocolate and chocolate Wilton's Candy Melts Candy Melts warmer, optional Valentine's sprinkles wax paper Steps: Melt Candy Melts according to package directions or in the warmer. NOTE: I recommend melting small batches as the wafers tend to leave crumbs in the chocolate. Brush off excess crumbs from the wafers. Dip the end of each wafer into the chocolate and gently shake to remove any excess. Lay them on the wax paper and sprinkle with festive sprinkles. Allow chocolate to harden. Enjoy!  For dark, semi-sweet chocolate you can use Bakers Semi-Sweet chocolate chips and a bit of butter in a flat bottom bowl, heat it a minute in the microwave, stir it fast and put it onto the heating plate of your coffee maker to keep it hot. Then you can dip the wafers lengthwise with half of it immersed, flip them onto the wax paper dry side down, so that some of the chocolate streaks down towards the dry side. Chocolate addicts prefer that method! Have FUN! DearWebby
