How about "I would not like thee with a pill, I would not like thee on a hill, I do not like the clothes you wear, I would not like you anywhere!"
And what is up with him writing a book on weight loss??!? I mean, seriously.

Wedding poem? sm
DH and I are renewing our vows for our 20th anniversary. At first we didn't think this was going to happen but just found out it is a go and it is happening Wednesday. Would like for our daughter to read a poem. It will just be DH, DS, DD, myself, the preacher, and the Lord. Any suggestions. Am also posting on Christianity board for additional suggestions for DS. Thanks for any help!
Another poem for all of you that have lost someone!
These poems are meant to be personally yours....
I’M FREE
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me,
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Someone just sent this to me - a poem by Maya Angelou (sm)
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies
I say
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees
I say
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see
I say
It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud
I say
It's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me
The Sands of Christmas...a poem
THE SANDS OF CHRISTMAS
by Michael Marks
I had no Christmas spirit when I breathed a weary sigh,
And looked across the table where the bills were piled too high.
The laundry wasn't finished and the car I had to fix,
My stocks were down another point, the Chargers lost by six.
And so with only minutes till my son got home from school
I gave up on the drudgery and grabbed a wooden stool.
The burdens that I carried were about all I could take,
And so I flipped the TV on to catch a little break.
I came upon a desert scene in shades of tan and rust,
No snowflakes hung upon the wind, just clouds of swirling dust.
And where the reindeer should have stood before a laden sleigh,
Eight Humvees ran a column right behind an M1A.
A group of boys walked past the tank, not one was past his teens
Their eyes were hard as polished flint, their faces drawn and lean.
They walked the street in armor with their rifles shouldered tight,
Their dearest wish for Christmas, just to have a silent night.
Other soldiers gathered, hunkered down against the wind,
To share a scrap of mail and dreams of going home again
There wasn't much at all to put their lonely hearts at ease,
They had no Christmas turkey, just a pack of MREs.
They didn't have a garland or a stocking I could see,
They didn't need an ornament--they lacked a Christmas tree.
They didn't have a present even though it was tradition,
The only boxes I could see were labeled 'ammunition.'
I felt a little tug and found my son now by my side,
He asked me what it was I feared, and why it was I cried.
I swept him up into my arms and held him oh so near
And kissed him on the forehead as I whispered in his ear.
'There's nothing wrong, my little son, for safe we sleep tonight
Our heroes stand on foreign land to give us all the right,
To worry on the things in life that mean nothing at all,
Instead of wondering if we will be the next to fall.'
He looked at me as children do and said, 'it's always right,
To thank the ones who help us and perhaps that we should write.'
And so we pushed aside the bills and sat to draft a note,
To thank the many far from home, and this is what we wrote:
'God bless you all and keep you safe, and speed your way back home.
Remember that we love you so, and that you're not alone.
The gift you give you share with all, a present every day,
You give the gift of liberty and that we can't repay.'
'I freely submit this poem for reprint without reservation--this is an open
and grateful tribute to the men and women who serve every day to keep our
nation safe.' ~ Michael Marks

You wish,,,, ROFL. You can say anything
p
ROFL!
I'm sorry but that was just too funny. I'm not buying into this whole Michael faked his death BS. Come on. Elvis died and now Mike is gone....get over it.
yep - a Goddess *ROFL*.....sm
but seriously, I always think our consciences are our G_D!! That conscience that tells us right from wrong, that conscience that makes us make a correct decision...........that G_D is within each and every one of us.............
Not from a bunch of men (women had no real say back then) who interpreted what G_D might have been trying to say and then put their own *slant* on things........
who knows? nobody! We can only surmise and ponder and become philosophical about it all....
well, except for those darn fanatics.........*LOL*
probably!!! *rofl* - too funny
  
ROFL! Good one! nm
x
ROFL! I confess, its still me too...
I can't help it. I hate when I am just about to do it and then who ever is nagging me mentions it again. NOW I have to wait a respectable period of time until it becomes MY idea once more, and if the nagger keeps nagging this can go on for quite some time, heh
ROFL Hayseed you are something else!
You always make me laugh. Thank you!
getting older? *ROFL*
I'm well above average then!! ROFL!!
NM
No...but just can't get past this one - still ROFL!
x

Ooohhhh---send some to me so you won't pop! ROFL
I love fresh tomatoes from the garden. Slice 'em up, a little salt - that's a meal!
Try both *ROFL* - drink away *chuckles*...
today is my day off, think I'll join ya.......*lol*
ROFL - That is funny. People sure are different
x.
great picture and you weigh ??? *ROFL
imagine that description on a 400 lb person.....
no offense - just struck me so funny *LOL*
let's raise the flag *ROFL*.....lucky you....
Marie - I was ROFL reading your post
Sorry I know its not funny especially for you. That is totally disgusting. They sound like the nieghbors we had in Reno, but they didn't have pets - it was their stinking food and stuff they left all over. Why do people live like such nasty ho's. Well we may not have the dog poo but they did do something with their back yard and fertilizer and it really stinks and now we are infested with flies here. I won't call Animal control because they really are not cruel to their dog, they just let it bark all the time then it goes inside once it gets dark out. They do play with their dog too (its constantly getting loose and they are running up and down the street yelling for it - dog comes back). None of our neighbors have their dogs tied up, they just let them roam free. I like the solution that Jim Carey did in a movie called Me, Myself and Irene when he kept telling his neighbor to stop letting the dog poo on his lawn. He went over to his neighbors lawn and took a dump on it in broad daylight while the neighbor watched. I thought that was hysterical. Well sounds like you needed to vent more than I did. I'll count myself lucky reading about you. Four years probably seems like forever to you too. Wish you best.
ROFL!!!! Gonna be some funny looking old ladies in about 40 years...lol nm

ROFL, that was good, Robin, I was thinking the same thing but.....sm
you have articulated it so much more colorfully than I ever could,what a hoot, even though it is such a sickening story. Man, did this woman EVER have any self-respect, self-esteem, to say nothing of self-discipline and brains? Total sociopath, puts the "ICK!" in SICK!!
ROFL, hey Tech, still got knots on your head, bet she did scream at you...sm
but not in a good way. Your humor makes me laugh! Hope your wife didn't stay mad long. Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married. Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with 
Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!
Not on a first date-ROFL!! May want to make that ANY date!
Ewwwwwww!
How cute is that?
 Once again, out of the mouths of babes!
these are cute!
I have a brother that would have been good for doing such things. He use to try to scare my mom too. one time he had a halloween tape and called her up (mind you he was just upstairs in his bedroom) from his phone and play some pranks. in the beginning she believed these were real callers!
That is just too cute! sm
My little guy barks like mad and runs and takes the toy, then hides it. My big guy likes to tear them up.
cute ! nm

You are just too cute!
Check out my new one! I don't do very well with pies either, but I sure can bake a birthday cake! I love the beach! My husband and I plan to retire there just as soon as we get these children through high school! So, my daughter decides (she's 7 now), that she is just going to retire with us after high school! Yeah, right! No way, Jose, you're going to college girl! LOL, LOL
No not cute, but certainly not an act
problems. You can teach your child to have manners, but the original post was in regards to a "school" rule that the child would be taken away from the general population and "punished". I just think there are much more that we could focus on than a natural process of the bodily functions. Just say excuse me, and move on. Whoever is making the big deal about the actual act is "the problem" and not too cute. I do not agree with you there. I do not laugh or make a big deal about it, I just move on. I still don't believe a child that passes gas should be sent to detention unless they are being obnoxious. I will tell you though that because my child had a "track record", he got blamed for every incident as if no other child in the class was guilty, and it really kind of ticked me off that my son was being accused, when they really had no proof at all.
how cute!!
bet they were darling...little pit puppies in coats. Mine is black lab/pit mix and she is a rescue, from southern California. We are now in the Tahoe area and she cannot stand the cold (but loves to play in the snow - go figure). She needs a coat and mittens and boots but I could never convince her. Whenever it gets above 55 degrees out, she finds a spot of sun in the backyard and lays out soaking up the rays, probably dreaming of those warm California days gone by.
How cute -
the comedian I saw on Comedy Central who said he found his 6-year-old nephew yelling at his Easter basket. When asked what he was doing, the boy replied, * I'm giving a shout out to my peeps *
How cute! Thanks! nm
peep
Cute! (nm)
.

no message.
Cute! lol

How cute is that?!
Oh my word that is ADORABLE!! I can never get pictures to work
though--somehow a quotation mark always winds up in there that I don't put
in. I looked at the html code too and I don't see them, yet when I try it,
some reason they get put in there. Very frustrating....one last try then I
give up.

How cute is that?
Looks like he has his nails done. Cute!
Cute :)
I haven't done that, but now I think I will!
Sometimes when my husband calls me from his cell phone I make him talk to the cats and their ears perk up when they hear his voice! Only when he calls from inside his car of course, not in public or anything like that! It amazes me that he even does it. He's a big mush like me with the animals.
LOL
That should be cute
that is how my auto correct kicks in, make cute to acute.
he's cute!!
Oh my gosh he is so sweet! He looks totally comfortable in your house! What an awesome dog! Pet him for me would you?
Jan :)
Cute! Thanks
I love the new picture feature.
Oh how CUTE! nm
xx
Oh, he's too cute!
What a sweetie. Good luck with him. My neighbors have a Yorkie, but not a teacup and he's so spunky and adorable.
How cute.
You'll want to keep her on the lean side anyway to optimize her breathing.
Good for you for adopting her.
Now that is just too cute!

too cute!

Too cute!
My recently adopted kitty, Tinkerbell, loves attacking my feet when I get in bed. Does she care that I'm tired and want to sleep? Nooooooo, because it's all about Tinky!
