Feel The Birthday Love

















My two sons (see Fig. 1) obviously love me, and sent this beautiful birthday card. Blanco took the unprecedented step of shaving before the picture was taken, and Rondo appears to have stopped cussing, at least briefly. Not everyone is fortunate enough to ever know such devotion. To be honest, neither of these boys is particularly blessed with a gift for tender heartfelt expression, and their twist on the usual birthday song lyrics betrays a wee bit of that. But you can be sure their hearts are in it.

My warmest thanks to a few friends who popped by with kind birthday wishes in the Siamese Cats discussion immediately below.

My God, I can't believe I'm 101.

Hmmm ....
What's the problem about the comments ... is it our trans-Atlantic apparency ... I agree that the ocean sure is a big closet. Maybe, united we can make it cleaner or should it be clearer? Lost in translations again.
The guy from "analyze that" sure isn't much clearer ... or cleaner for that matter ;-)))

while flying around
in a miniature sleigh
with eight tiny reindeer
to pull him along
then lets face it ...

SHOP EARLY

It was Christmas and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner, "What are you charged with?"

"Doing my Christmas shopping early", replied the defendant.

"That's no offense", said the judge. "How early were you doing this shopping?"

"Before the store opened."

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I am somewhat embarrassed to say that I did exactly that - as well as watch three John Grisham movies - such a lazy wasted time!!
Traditionally, this is called 'Boxing Day' - and it stems from a tradition in England,where people boxed up their 'leftovers' for the poor. I did not do that however, I ate them!!!mca xo

Hallo, mmca. Thank you for visting my blog, even if you don't understand a fucking word of my foreign language.
It is rather difficult to translate, but I will try. It's a picture puzzle, as you no doubt have guessed. The serpent is a cobra. That is "cow good" in swedish. Hence:
"Maybe a cow would be good for you, Conrad. You seem disappointed. We have saved up some money to buy you a [lure, toy, whore]. Her name is Olga, descending from Siberia".

Please don't take it seriously! Conrad is just a made-up cybernic moose, and it is all a joke.
GOD FORTSÄTTNING

Gosh, 101 yrs - congrats!!!

Don't know if your question was answered - concerning Saint Lucia - but she was a young, Italian/Sicilian martyr and the only two countries celebrating her are Italy and Sweden. (Rather strand actually, since Sweden is not a Catholic country.)

You've got an intresting blog and I'll try to visit you again (if my shrink allows me to...)!

Take care!

Happy New Year to you, and I certainly hope your 'shrink' lets you use the 'puter' to communicate with me again -
Your Blog appears closed to me - with no Blog Name to click on - I'm rather new to this game, and have no tricks up my sleeve to solve computer problems -
Why don't you have a Blog Name??
Hope you are watching the World Junior Hockey Championship, taking place in Leksand,Sweden.
The Canadian Team is staying at the

Congratulations to Canada's 3rd straight World Junior Hockey Championship gold medal!

Even though Russia tried to give you guys a fight, I think the game was completely in your hands all the time - impressing to beat the Russians yet again in an final (also a 3rd straight time!).

O'Canada...

I'm sorry that my blog is completely in Swedish but perhaps I should have a go and try to write something in English...?

Take care and don't forget to celebrate now!

Swedish humor is a bit weird :-) .. I can understand that it sounds strange for you, when we trying to translate the words. They probebly don´t mean the same for you
the joke was ment 'small balls' as beans.

About brown beans, it´s also as a joke, people who eat them get their stomach upside down and you don´t want to be near the people though it smells more than shit :-)

But now when I look at the picture again I see the face of Mr Bean himself :-)

Yes - it is a problem for me - I am waiting for Crabgrasss to return from his skiing trip to produce a new subject matter - it is an embarrassment for me to continue in this one-the birthday is long gone,the siamese cat is no longer a problem, BUT I don't know how to create a new page. If you can talk me thru it, I would greatly appreciate it - in the new year I want music,and pictures,or cartoons to accompany my otherwise tedious blog. That is my resolution for the new year.
Thanks for noticing(how could you not) and I NEED HELP.
