My Daughter-in-law has been pregnant of 41 weeks now and the Doctors said it's time to evict the soon to be Granddaughter. Doctors have been telling them longer then 41 weeks can be an added danger. My son just called from the hospital and they are ready to induce labor. Son said they are giving her something that is 30% effective in inducing labor and if something doesn't happen tonight they will give her something stronger tomorrow. There has been no signs of problems with the baby or Mother. Picture was taken yesterday. Praying all goes well.

3:00am and couldn't sleep so what did I do, went out and shoveled again. This just doesn't seem like the proper thing do do in my "golden" years.

I never think of ICEland having anything South.

Every Fan Down in Fan-ville Liked Hockey a lot … But the Greed, Who lived just south of Fan-ville, Did NOT! The Greed hated Hockey! The whole Hockey season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be his game was baseball or basketball. It could be, perhaps, that he was jealous of football. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that he thought his wallet was too small. But, Whatever the reason, The sport or no shame, He sat there in September, hating just the same, Clutching his brandy with an evil, Greedy sneer As the Fans toasted the new season with cold beer. For he knew every Fan up in Fan-ville above Cared not for the business, only puck love. "And there will be training camp!" he yelled with a racket. "All will have hope! Even the Jackets!" Then he growled, while his butler got his Bentley running, "I MUST find some way to stop Hockey from coming!" For, As soon as the puck dropped, he knew … All the Fans with great glee Would turn on TVs. They'd rush to the rinks! And he'd hear that "Gangnam Style" song everyone sings! Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! That's one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/R3STrNWiKRAcCxC2ezA3sA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTMxMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/388/2012/12/21/Grinch-2-Canucks-jersey-jpg_212423.jpgAnd THEN They'd do something He liked least of all! Every Fan up in Fan-ville, of the Canucks to the 'Hawks, Would gather in great flocks, the floor to the ceiling. They’d stand side-by-side. And the Fans would start cheering! They'd cheer! And they'd cheer! AND they'd CHEER! CHEER! CHEER! CHEER! And the more the Greed thought of this Fan-cheering-thing, The more the Greed thought, "I'd rather hear 'Cha-ching!' "These fools don't follow important things like the Dow. "They follow the standings and guys like that Gordie … "Uhh … Howe?" Then he got an idea! A new idea! THE GREED GOT A NEW, OLD IDEA! "I know just what to do!" The Greed said like a snoot. "I'll have a lockout! And I'll file lawsuits!" And he laughed and he snorted, "Won't that be funny? "Somehow, I figure, I'll make even more money!" * * * * * http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/WJMWZCHrvwaxSM620IqBsQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTMxMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/388/2012/12/21/Grinch-3-face-jpg_212428.jpgTHEN He canceled training camps And the first weeks of the sked And the Winter Classic and more. Each time, a kick in the head. The owners and players, he'd make them fight … Fight so long, few would care who was right. "What's this about?" The Fans once wanted to know. Is it revenue sharing or HRR? Or contract rights? Or escrow? "What's this about?" The Fans didn't bother anymore. Disclaimer of interest? Decertification? Everyone is bored. We need a vacation. After months of pointing fingers and trading proposals, The sides came to New York, the biggest star at their disposal. The Greed seemed in trouble, for who could it be? Not Cindy-Lou Who – but Sidney Crosby! But even with the help of his owners and agent, Crosby could not keep it from blowing a gasket. He went back to Pittsburgh asked the big question: "Why? "Why aren't they even talking now? Why?" But, you know, that old Greed was so smart and so slick He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick! "Why, we aren't close at all!" the evil Greed lied. "When you hear that we're close, that's only one side. "So there's nothing to talk about. We'll go to the brink. "Maybe we'll cancel the season, or someone will blink." And as if the Fans needed more reason to hate, That dastardly old Greed would not give a drop-dead date. Forget the openers. The Fans wanted closure. It was all they could do to keep their composure. And the one speck of hope That was left in the league Was a glimmer even too dim for Milbury. * * * * * http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/.CBQv3j69Qvg.uj4MbRggw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTMxMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/388/2012/12/21/Grinch-4-Canes-sign-jpg_212417.jpgIt was now halfway into the season … Eighty-two games, impossible, Fifty-six, too, When the Greed looked at the schedule. "Down to 48? Woo-hoo!" So much crossed out! No banner in L.A.! No new arrivals to tout! No Nash, no Suter, no Parise! "Pooh-pooh to the Fans!" the Greed greedily hummed. "How do they feel that Hockey has not come? "It's finally sinking in! I know just what they'll do! "Their mouths will hang open for a minute or two "Then the Fans down in Fan-ville will all cry BOO-HOO!" "That's a noise," grinned the Greed, "That I simply MUST hear!" So he paused. And the Greed put his hand to his ear. And he did hear a sound rising over the snow. It started in low. Then it started to grow … But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry! It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY! He stared up at Fan-ville! The Greed popped his eyes! Then he shook! http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/DtrMorBuX6kTfo1nSFlCVw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTMxMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/388/2012/12/21/Grinch-6-end-jpg_212435.jpgWhat he saw was a shocking surprise! The Fans up in Fan-ville, of the Canucks to the 'Hawks, Were cheering! Right out of their socks! Oh, there was emotion over the lockout, no doubt. But you know what? The NHL isn't all it's about! Some Fans cheered for junior and college, the other levels of Hockey, all. Other Fans just cheered for – gulp! – baseball and basketball and football. Then the Greed thought of something he should have before. "Maybe," he thought, "they cheer first and then spend. "Maybe, perhaps, they'll just spend elsewhere instead!" And what happened then … ? Well … in Fan-ville they say That the Greed's feeble brain Finally got it that day! And as soon as he realized how to really grow his wallet, He dropped the lawsuits, and he lifted the lockout. And he brought back Hockey! And he sold lots of beers! And he … … HE HIMSELF … ! The Greed led the cheers!

Hope you have a great day.

It's a world wide conspiracy and there is nothing we can do about it.

Happy Birthday Jay !!!!

WOW, way to cool. After I saw the 1st Gen Blonde I couldn't stop myself. Spent over an hour looking at his clocks, he has everything you can think of in the form of a clock.

"until the time that I leave to ride down to Bolivia" What bike are you riding and using in Bolivia?

I think this Christmas will be my best, my Son and his Wife (mostly her) are due to have my first Grandchild (a girl) over the Holidays. She is due the 21st. My pick in the baby pool is the 24th.

There is no reason to come back to Michigan once you have escaped.

In Europe only only the United Kingdom and Ireland drive on the left side.

Yep, spent three hours doing it the other night after watching a one minute clip. Oh the evil of the internet.

Daughter staying home this year so we are cooking Cornish Hens, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing. Cranberries, Pumpkin Pie. Want to make Cornbread because we both love it but mine always turn out dry and crumbles apart. Of course watch a lot of football.

First one I rode. 1966 2 stroke 50cc 3 speed. Shifted by pulling in the clutch and rotating the clutch lever forward. Sure was fun to ride in the trails.

:rotfl::rotfl:

After viewing the video in post #4 I clicked on a couple of the videos showing the Ural factory tours, very interesting seeing them mostly hand build these things. One thing for sure, there is no OSHA in Russia. They sure do look like they would be fun to play around on.

All codes 5555, web site devoted to this scam. With the $1000 bestbuy gift and all the millions waiting for me overseas and all the lotteries I've won, why I am I still in Flint?

I did read the warning and there was no mention of no achohol. I'm just so tired and want to sleep. Thanks for the heads up, I'm done drinking anyway.

Yesterday around 1:00pm I felt a slight pain in my right elbow, by 4:00pm it hurt like hell just to move it, by 7:00pm it was swelled up three times it's normal size and could hardly move it. 10:00pm it was swelled up, won't bend and turning purple. Called a friend of my Daughters Mother to see if my Daughter could spend the night so I could go to ER. Got to Er and set and set and set until they finally got me in and took x-rays. I have an infection in the fluid sack of my right elbow, pumped me full of antibiotics (after blowing out a vein in my left arm) and gave me a script for more antibiodics and sent me home at 5:00am. Called my family doctor and he said they should of drawn some of the fluid out to see what kind of infection I have, so he's waiting for the hospital report to see if anything else needs to be done. Now I hurt like hell, can't sleep, can not hardly use my right arm and drinking wine with my left hand with the hope the wine will let me sleep. If this is a sign of old age, I vote NO.

I know where this one is.

Post#2095 by Royalstargazer. Does a witch flying on a pole count? If this counts then the next target will be your bike with a business sign that says "Venture" on it.

OH OH I guess my is comming. As I have alway enjoyed this hunt and a;ways active until I sold my VR (I will be riding again) I always looked at it as target, bike and you. Although some targets are harder then others it seemed more fun when it was a race to see who would get the next target first. But friends, it is not worth fighting over. I like others have been told that I made a target to difficult and slowed the game down and changed a part of the target. But by all means lets keep this game friendly and fun. OK over now.

Hope all is well in Texas.
