NEW TRICK FOR OLD DOG

I'm sure all will agree that
are important. With this in mind, here is something one should not do.

Never attempt to drink a glass of water with a plastic fork pointing upwards in the same hand as the one that is holding the glass. DUH!

Gettin' dumber by the minute!!!

CONNED BY THE GRANDMONSTERS

The other evening I got stuck watching the kids while mom and dad went out to see a movie together. Adam was pissed off because he had to do homework while the other two and I got to watch television. At nine o'clock I told Shelby and Zack to take a bath. They gave me crap about who would be first and I finally had them choose a number between one and ten. Shelby lost and up she went. After a time I told Zack it was his turn. Up he went. Some time had past and I got to thinking, it's too quiet. I found all three in mom's room watching
on television. I yelled "Is this appropriate?" All three of them replied in unison, "Yes!" Again, I yelled, "Is this program appropriate?" Again all three said, "Yes!" One said "Mom lets us watch this all the time." So, who am I to argue. Besides, they weren't fighting with each other and it was quiet.
When mom got home, I asked her if it was okay for the kids to watch




When she freaked out, I knew I had been had. Since when did grandkids start lying to their grandparents? Oh, that's right! That's why they are now referred to as "GRANDMONSTERS!"

AGAIN, MORE PICTS

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS WORRIED

THEN I WASN'T

MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO WORRY

MORE PICTS

Received pictures from Aaron yesterday. And no, I still haven't received the screwdriver that was shipped by boat. His kids are growin' up as well.
These were taken back during November '03.














TODAY.......................................................




Where the heck are your teeth. You'll never find a boyfriend with a face like this!





The cheap one that sent my screwdriver by boat to save money is the one on the left.

GROWIN' UP

Received this years school pictures of Robin's kids and started to overlay them on last years pictures in the frame. Been doing this since '04. Since I don't have a life, I found time to line them up to see how they have changed over the years. I'm sure all will agree my gene pool has done wonders for these kids.














































































As things progress, they will end up looking just like their parents, which may not be a good thing.

LEARNED SOMETHING NEW

Here's something I'll bet you didn't know. If you leave jeans that have gotten too small in the waist folded up and stored away for a long, long time, they will get longer in length. I know this because some years ago I had to resort to buying new jeans made in China. We all know the Chinese size clothes a little smaller, so I was forced into buying jeans with a larger waist size. I saved the old jeans, thinking I would someday be able to get into them again. Well, that day came. I pulled them out of the closet, put them on, and was able to fasten the top button easily.
However, when I looked down, the ends of the jeans legs were bunched up around my ankles big time. They certainly weren't that long when I put them in storage, so this is how I know jeans get longer when stored over a long period of time.

THIS IS A TEST

This is what my pinkie normally looks like.
This is what my left pinkie looks like now. Can you guess why?



Because I hit it with a friggin'



Just another "stupid Bob" trick!

WE'VE STOOPED TO A NEW LOW

[Gov. Linda Lingle says she has no regrets about going to Kauai to face protesters and demonstrators opposing the restart of the Hawaii Superferry, adding that the reception was far from polite.

Lingle told reporters yesterday that she had "never experienced the level of rudeness" as she did appearing before a largely hostile crowd of 1,000 at the Kauai War Memorial Convention Center Thursday. Members of Lingle's staff said besides boos and jeering, members of the audience cursed Lingle and shouted obscenities at her.

"I have been going to public hearings for 25 years, but I have never seen the personal rudeness that went on not just against people who were there to share information, but to their own fellow residents," Lingle said.]

I can understand being passionate about one's agenda, but lack of common decency and civility as displayed by some of Kauai's citizens, is shameful. Disagreeing is one thing, but shouting obscenities at the governor is a new low for Hawaii's people. Behavior like this makes it obvious that Hawaii's "Aloha Spirit" is declining on a daily basis, and it's getting to the point that the only thing that keeps me glued to this "rock" is the great weather it offers. That and the stew and rice plate lunch along with some really good neighbors.

9/11 ANNIVERSARY

The sixth anniversary of the World Trade Center disaster is fast upon us, and once again, it's time to pause and reflect on your life and what it means to you. Appreciate your surroundings and your country. Be good to family, friends, and the disadvantaged.

Whether you agree or not that this event was a precursor to the ongoing war this country is presently involved in, take time each day to think about the loss of our young men and women called on to serve, and of those returned to us with broken bodies and minds. Think about the collateral strife to the many lives as a result of this war and give thought to the parents of these young warriors. Although difficult, try to understand what they as parents are going through, and hope they gain comfort in knowing their loss was not in vain if there is a positive outcome to this war. And no matter how difficult, remind yourself that not all Muslims are radical extremists.

Lastly, think about how you will live this day, for it may be your last.

NOT VERY GRACEFUL!

The other day, I arrive at someone's doorstep for an appointment to do some repairs. I see a sign on the door requesting not to ring the doorbell because the baby is sleeping.
very lightly, since I really don't like howling kids around while I'm working.


I'm carrying my tool box and as I enter, it strikes the door jamb and falls to the ceramic floor. Tools went everywhere, and the noise was deafening!
Can you guess what happened next? You got it!
