"Of two evils, choose the lesser one" - advice from one of my spammers

And so, sorry guys, we now have word verification.

What is this world coming to?

A woman left her dog in the car in the heat the other day. Thankfully it managed to get itself to the front seat and honk the horn, so it turned out okay. This got the news people talking, though, about people forgetting children and pets in the car.

The official advice from experts? When you put your baby or pet in the car, leave your cell phone on the seat next to him or her. Because when you get out of the car, you won't forget your cell phone.

My happy trip to the bank

Today I brought a little old lady to the doctor and then to the bank. As we were at sitting in the car at the bank waiting for the container thing to come zhooping back to us, I told the little old lady that I've never driven through the drive-through at the bank before. I always go in. But back when I was little and would go through in the car with my mom, they used to send me suckers. "I don't think they do that for grown-ups, though." I said sadly.
The thing came zhooping back, and as I emptied it, along with the little old lady's money and i.d., were two dum-dum suckers. :D WIth a huge grin on my face, I said, "Oh! She must've heard me!" "I did!" "Well, thank you very much!"
Totally made my day. :)

A most exciting development

So that sunburn that I got the other day? Yeah, it's kind of turning tannish. I'm sure it won't last long, but for right now, my arms actually look pretty nice (well, aside from the fact that it's a farmer tan). Alright, fine, so it's a farmer tan that won't last more than a week. The point is, though, that I actually have some color right now! That never happens! I burn, then it peels off to white again. (I still don't think it's fair that I get my grandpa's fair skin, but not his red hair.) I'm sure none of you believe me that I'm tan, and it will be gone before I see any of you again, but whether you believe me or not, I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Jim Thome

I still think he looks like an old-time baseball player.

Dear Mr. Thome,

They might say you're 10th on the homerun list, but seeing as 4 of those guys are cheaters, I say you're 6th. Good job. (And like Killebrew said, it's nice that you did it in a Twins uniform. A+)

Sincerely,

Lucy
