        Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman's Day, so please send this message to someone you think fits this description.  <br />
<br />
        Please do not send it back to me as I have already received it from a Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman!  And remember this motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!'<br />
<br />
        Have a wonderful day!<br />

        In side me lives a skinny woman crying to get out, but I can usually shut her up with cookies. <br />

        My second favorite household chore is ironing.  My first one being -- hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint. <br />

<br />
<br />
Please help! After two searching and searching we were finally able to find the perfcet addition to our home...WE'RE HAVING A PUPPY!<br />
<br />
We must IMMEDIATELY get rid of our children now, because we just KNOW how time consuming our new little puppy is going to be! Since our puppy will be arriving on Monday, we MUST place the children in new homes this weekend!!!<br />
<br />
They are described as:<br />
<br />
One male, white, blonde hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Name is Tommy. Temperament tested. Current on all shots and wormed. Tonsils removed already and very healthy condition! Tommy eats everything, is very clean, house trained and gets along well with others. Does not run with scissors and with a little time and training, he will do well in a new home.<br />
One female, strawberry blonde hair, green eyes. Three years old. Can be surly at times. Non-biter, thumb sucker. Her name is Mary. Temperament tested, but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils out, and is very healthy and happy (mostly.) Gets along well with little boys, but does not like to share toys. She is house trained, and would do best in a one child household.<br />
<br />
We really LOVE our children, and want to do what is best for them. I hope you understand, that ours is a UNIQUE situation, and we have a real emergency here! They MUST be placed by Sunday night at the latest or we will be forced to give them to the shelter.]]></description>

Rather than the generic cookie cutter model fans have understandably begun to fear with the first post-Idol release, I think the essence of who David is as an artist and songwriter is evident in every single second of the music. It is truly, truly perfection.<br />
<br />
Favorite songs for me? The biggest highlight of the album is unquestionably "Permanent". It's so naked, so raw, so honest and beautifully vulnerable. I also love "Light On", "Declaration" and quite a few others. The best thing about this album though? The songwriting is amazing!<br />

Well done, David. Well done.]]></description>

<br />
The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex. *This kind of sex happens<br />
when you first meet someone, and you both have sex until you are blue in<br />
the face.<br />
<br />
The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. *This is when you have<br />
been with your partner for a short time, and you are so needy you will have<br />
sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. *This is when you have been<br />
with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine, and you<br />
usually have sex only in your bedroom.<br />
<br />
The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex *This is when you have<br />
been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the<br />
hallway you both say 'screw you.'<br />
<br />
The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex *Which means you get Nun<br />
in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and Nun at night. (Very Popular)<br />
<br />
The 6th kind is called Courtroom Sex *This is when you cannot stand your<br />
wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone.<br />
<br />
And; last, but not least,<br />
<br />
The 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex * You get a<br />
little each month. But not enough to enjoy yourself.]]></description>

<br />
Think before you speak...<br />
Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is great!<br />
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back... or that you could crawl into a hole?<br />
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....<br />
<br />
<br />
FIRST TESTIMONY:<br />
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'<br />
I turned around and walked back out and never went back My husband didn't say a word... he knew better.<br />
<br />
<br />
SECOND TESTIMONY:<br />
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.<br />
<br />
After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works' at the store. He asked if he could help me.<br />
Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with men's balls'<br />
<br />
THIRD TESTIMONY:<br />
My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts.<br />
As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.<br />
I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.' My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.<br />
<br />
To this day, my sister has never let me forget.<br />
<br />
<br />
FOURTH TESTIMONY:<br />
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok.<br />
I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons.<br />
I told her that if she did not start behaving 'right now' she would be punished.<br />
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'<br />
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.<br />
The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.<br />
<br />
<br />
FIFTH TESTIMONY:<br />
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?<br />
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly.<br />
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands It was very busy, with a full dining room.<br />
While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,<br />
so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.<br />
The realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No'.<br />
I kept thinking 'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.'<br />
Then I said, 'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'<br />
'No,' he replied.<br />
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse.<br />
Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an accident? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'<br />
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.<br />
An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!<br />
<br />
<br />
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:<br />
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks.<br />
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any!<br />
We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked:<br />
'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?'<br />
Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!]]></description>

<br />
Think before you speak...<br />
Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is great!<br />
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back... or that you could crawl into a hole?<br />
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....<br />
<br />
<br />
FIRST TESTIMONY:<br />
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'<br />
I turned around and walked back out and never went back My husband didn't say a word... he knew better.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[So, we all know iTunes does celebrity playlists, and I thought it might be fun to put up playlists of our own. Only, instead of putting up links to iTunes, we can use mediafire to share our favorite songs. <br />
<br />
The Rules: <br />
<br />
* You don't have to own the song. If you don't own or don't feel comfortable sharing, use YouTube, or link to a music service where we can hear samples.<br />
<br />
* Try to pick between 10 and 15 songs<br />
<br />
* Try to pick a variety of songs and genres that you'd recommend to people. Obscure isn't bad. The goal is to share favorites that some people may not have heard. But don't worry about sharing popular songs too!<br />
<br />
* Make sure you include an explanation of why you chose the song!<br />

Ok, here’s the main bit of the band when they were on GMA a couple of years ago.  My JLM is not the bass player in this version.  But at least you get an idea what they look like:<br />
