Ya gotta get to your nearest library and ask for this book. I'm laughing my butt off! Just the title alone is sure to offend at least 3 major organized religions and vegetarians.

This is what I'd do - and a message from G. Carlin
Funny we just watched G. Carlin (one of his 1975 routines) and he was talking about dying and he said everyone gets a 2-minute warning. He said all of a sudden out of the blue you hear a deep voice that says "This is your 2 minute warning". So he said stand up and start talking about anything you want for 2 minutes, then say "If I'm correct then may god strike me dead". HA HA HA - It was a funny routine.
I'd particularly would like to know when my time is up (always like to plan ahead) :-) Depending on how much time I had I'd give all my stuff away to my family and friends, then rent a motorhome and travel around to the areas of the country I've always wanted to see. Have my "affairs in order" (leaving nothing for anyone to do after I'm gone). I'd east chocolate ice cream with bananas and whipped cream every night, or any other chocolate desert. I'd eat everything I want to eat, read some of the books I've always wanted to and just relax for whatever time I'd have left. Towards the end I'd go live with my sister and I'd buy me a big nice fluffy bed and when my time came to go I'd go in comfort. Then there would not be anything left for anyone to do except celebrate that I've finally made it to the next step in my life. And the best part is nobody would be "fighting" over my stuff because I'd have given it all away to whom I want to have it.
I can understand your friends attitude. If he enjoyed drinking and smoking and found out that quiting did nothing to save him, why not continue with what he enjoys for whatever time remaining he has.
Lake George
There's also Waterslide World nearby - good fun for your kiddies if the weather's hot!
lake george
Yes, we're leaving Monday for three days. No plans to swim at the lake though - just in the heated hotel pool...LOL. We actually going to be in Queensbury, so the main goal of the trip is "kid-style" fun activities. Our "beach" vacation is later this summer in Maine...To be honest, I don't care if it rains all three days while we're in Lake Goerge...I will be happy to get away and my 5yo son will be happy just to have a "little fridge" in the hotel room.
Lake George
Every summer as a little girl we use to camp at Lake George. I loved it!
Yep, George W. is a real
xx
ER MT have you been to Lake George?
We were just there this past July. I love that area. So beautiful. Would love to see it in the fall. Only a 3-1/2 to 4 hour ride from northern NJ for me.
George Clooney, yum yum!
xx
Anything by Boy George or Madonna, but
I also agree with some of the other suggestions, like Ring My Bell, Feelings (gag).
Near Lake George
and the snow, she's a comin' down !
My neighbor, George...
who is taking great care of his wife, who has Alzheimer's, and still finds time to plow the snow off his neighbors' driveway with his tractor.
You mean my husband, George?
lmao. We've been married for years. He just doesn't know it yet.
He was even here in my city not too long ago filming a movie and I missed him!!!! I was so po'd when I found out. Missed him by that much! (said in my best Maxwell Smart voice.) If I'd known I would have gone down and tried to watch the filming.
I heart George.
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
George Forman grills
I'm thinking of buying one of these electric grills - has anyone used one? I know they are supposed to be healthy because they drain the fat but do they drain so much fat that the food is tasteless?
Saw George with Ravi Shankar . . .
My sister saw the Beatles in Chicago. Sure brings back memories
lake george NY ideas?
We are going to Lake George for three nights, leaving on Monday and returning Thursday. We are staying at the Country Inn and Suites right next to the park. Has anyone ever stayed there? I think it used to be called the Wakita and they redid it in 2006. Any input as to activities, we are 2 adults - mom and dad - and daugther, 8yo, and son 5yo. So far, we are using our season passes for the Six Flags Great Escape, maybe ride the boat Minne Ha Ha on the lake, mini golf... I think there is a drive-in nearby so we might check that out one night if it's nearby. Any personal favorites out there? Has anyone ever been to the Fort William Henry museum?
Oh - and "family-friendly" restaurant recommendations!
Thanks!
Hot at Lake George, even hot in the Catskills.

George Clooney's doorstep. : )

He look - he has George Clooney's hair.
Cute dog.
I dream he and George are chasing me. Being them,
x
But ... but ... Didn't ya like and miss George?
Didn't ya like Carter. In the last episode Greene's daughter was on applying as she was a med student and that was neat. But, but, now it's done and gone. Still sniffing.
I think the whole idea of the George Foreman grill
therefore the juices are supposed to come out to make it less fatty. Searing in the pan keeps the juice in but also the fat. I liked the taste from the George Foreman grill, but I didn't like the clean-up :(
I would prefer just to bake in the oven actually. Also in regards to marinading meat. 30 minutes is plenty of time. If you keep it in the marinade longer it tends to make the meat rubbery. Just a thought...
Yeah, very strange that it was George who failed.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Izzy failed, but George?
I had heard ahead of time that Burke was going to walk out on the wedding, but I heard it was because he didn't make chief, or because McDreamy made chief instead, and I didn't see how the 2 were related. I know the show is about drama, not realism, but Burke was smart enough to know Christina wasn't as into marriage as he was, so no loss for me except all that expense and loss of eyebrows and all.
No, George, the old crazy guy.. I miss that show.
xx
George a sammie and get a great panini.

Definitely George mystery novels or romance
!
Show went downhill after the George Clooney days..sm
It is too much like a soap opera now. I remember the days when it was all about actual medicine and patients and doctors. Now it's just love triangles and boring characters. I think it needs to end as well. I watch just for Archie cuz he cracks me up!
I've had a George-Clooney sound-alike
at most of my jobs, but so far haven't heard him yet at this job.
Too bad ...
Not real original but the first one that comes to mind is George Clooney. nm
!
chocolate. George Lopez or Bill Cosby?
x
Bewitched. George Clooney or Brad Pitt?
Any GH fans??? If so,
who is Maureen?
Hey N/T fans
I haven't asked in a while. What did you all think of last night's episode? It's getting really weird, weirder than usual. I was actually grossed out quite a bit last night, but there were moments when I laughed out loud.
N/T Fans
Any Nip/Tuck fans out there. It starts on Tuesday. Have you seen the previews. It looks like it's going to be an incredible year. The previews look great. I can't wait until next week.
Hey N/T Fans
What did you think of the season finale last night? The ending had me laughing. Boy is Teddy weird. I never would have guessed it. I actually felt sorry for Kimber, and I'm not sure why. I just don't like the fact that we have to wait until 2010 before we have a resolution. Do you think Christian is going to tell Liz the news? I have my doubts.
Any NFL fans out there?
I have been a Minnesota Vikings fan since I was old enough to understand what a first down was. I was around 8 years old and it was in the mid 70's and they were good. Didn't hurt that my dad was a Vikes fan and they wore my favorite color. Tarkenton was a blast to watch, constantly eluding defenders. We had our Purple People Eaters (Page, Eller, Larsen and Marshall) who ate up defenses. These were the days where you could actually touch the QB and almost rip his head off without getting flagged.
Of course, The Vikes were always the first team to do bad things:
1. First team to lose 4 Super Bowls.
2. Only team to have a D-lineman pick up a fumble and run it to the wrong end zone, scoring a safetly for the other team.
3. First team to go 15-1 and not make the SB (thank you Pittsburgh - we no longer stand alone).
4. First team to score most points in a season (556) and not go to the Super Bowl).
5. First and only team to trade away 17 players/draft picks for an over-the-hill Herschel Walker who did nothing for our team.
The list goes on, but you know what? I've been with this team for 32 years and will be back for a 33rd. I must either be mentally ill or a masochist.
BTW, I'm going to see them play in Cleveland on Sept. 13. I've seen them 4 times live and I've had 2 wins, 2 losses. All were preseason games. This will be my first regular season game. And yes, I'll be dressed in full Viking regalia. I've seen then at Fawcett stadium against the Seahawks in the HOF game, twice at Foxboro against the Patriots and once at the Meadowlands against the Jets and I'll tell you what - the Jets were some extremely rude fans but from what I hear, they don't hold a candle to Giant, Philly or Raiders fans.
Any other pro football nuts?
Oh, and though I rarely get into college games, I now root for Ohio State since my nephew goes there.
40 employees in a NJ hospital suspended for leaking George Clooney's sm
medical records after his accident a few weeks ago and this even includes some doctors! But, here is George's response: This is the first I've heard of it. And while I very much believe in a patients right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers." -- George Clooney
I love him even MORE now! LOL
Disco baby...Brad Pitt or George Clooney
a
We are NFC fans - Eagles, but sm
I am really rootin' for the kid (Manning). What a game! His father must be so proud. He deserves a chance. Those Patriots were certainly speechless. Love a great competitive, action-packed football game.
AI Fans...what did you think of the *new* Sanjaya?
WOW! I'm speechless. lol
Any fans of The Apprentice out there? sm
What did you think about the overall season? I didn't like how they showed very little of the teams at work on each task, had increased product endorsements and at the end did not have a final task for the last 2 candidates. I do think that Stephanie & James were the best 2 to be there in the end. I thought he would pick James since he had been the project manager so much but think Stephanie will do a fine job for him. Also did you pick up on his telling Nicole on the last night that relationships had to come behind working for him? Gees - what a jerk!
Well Idol Fans............
If anyone is voting for Blake after tonight's performances, you need to have your head examined! No comparison. Vote fair
You all must be Dexter fans! LOL!
xx
Any other Bob Dylan fans out there? If so (see msg)
can you name one of your favorites by him? I must have dozens of favorites, but I would have to put Lilly, Rosemary and Jack of Hearts right at the top five. I also love Forever Young. Birth name is Robert Zimmerman.
for all you baseball fans out there...sm
Boston did rather well...At any World Series ya get a really exciting experience, especially if you're in the nosebleed seats. Cat

Any Dr. Phil fans out there?
He came to our town several weeks ago to help kick of the Toys for Tots campaign. Some of that will be featured on his show today.
Fleetwood Mac fans
This is a Valentine special for Fleetwood Mac fans and acoustic guitar lovers - Lindsey Buckingham performing Big Love.
If the link doesn't work, copy and paste - it is worth it.

Survivor Fans????
What'd you all think of that blindside tonight? I loved every minute of it. While I'm not a fan of Natalie, I don't much care for Eric, either. I'm pulling for Amanda, but unless she wins immunity, I don't think Parv and Cerie are going to take her to the final 3.
This has been the best season yet of Survivor. The blindsides have been awesome! I still can't believe Eric was that stupid to trust 4 women.
Any TrueBlood (HBO) fans?
The first time I caught the show I didn't like it, then one weekend I had nothing to do so watched all the episodes (HBO on demand), now I love the show. I just found a clip of an interview with the guy who play Jason (Sookie's brother). He's hot in the show and what a cutie (Aussie) in real person. Seems like a truly genuine nice guy (which is rare in Hollywood). If your interested I'm posting the link below.

Any other Maroon 5 fans out there?
I took my 16 year old daughter to their concert this summer and came away a bigger fan than she is! Their music talks to me in a way no other has since the 60s (would you believe I'm 56?). Now I devour everything I can get my hands on about them. Great, great band!
AI fans- Who is going home?
I am not fond of Matt and wanted him gone the 1st time.
Any Cavs fans out there??
Going to the game tonight and cannot wait! I just hope I can stay awake as tip off is not until 8:30 and after a full day of work, kids and then a 3 mile run I am pooped by then! GO CAVS!!!!!!!!
