lol -- glad you liked them -- she is so proud!

[Brigid]

As well she should be!

and to think she had that creative ability just an hour after throwing up in school -- something is going around and it isn't pretty -- i had to pick her up early -- but we had some fun washing her shoes and bathing her sweet-smelling clean again.

now she and julia are watching the old movie The Happiest Millionaire while i make dinner and catherine and susy make calls to be sure we can deliver the pies to neighbors who ordered from the band pie sale -- what 8yo picks that kind of movie these days!

[Brigid]

I hope/pray she gets better soon. Seems to me, if I'm remembering right , that that was a really funny movie. I wouldn't think that little ones would like it, but

a friend of mine shared this one at prayer group while we were making cursillo gifts:

Southern Baptist at the Race Track

Did you hear about the about the Southern Baptist who was in the habit of sneaking to the race track to bet on the horses?

One day he was losing badly when he saw a priest step onto the track, walk up to line-up and bless one of the horses on the forehead. The horse was a long shot, but the Southern Baptist thought, "With the priest's blessing, surely this horse will win." He placed a small bet and, sure enough, the horse came in first.

At the next race, the priest stepped onto the track and blessed another horse's forehead. Even though this horse was also a long shot, the Southern Baptist was a little bolder this time and placed a larger bet on that horse. Again, it won.

A third time, the priest stepped onto the track and blessed a horse on the forehead. Like the others, this horse was also a long shot. The Southern Baptist placed an even larger bet this time and, sure enough the horse won.

This pattern continued throughout the day with the priest blessing the forehead of a long shot horse, the Southern Baptist placing larger and larger bets and the horse always winning.

At the last race of the day, the Southern Baptist thought, "I have got to go for broke here." With great anticipation, he watched as the priest stepped onto the field one more time, walked up to the line-up and blessed the forehead, eyes, ears and hooves of one of the horses. The Southern Baptist ran to the ticket counter and bet all he had on that horse.

The horse came in dead last!

As he was walking out, he saw the priest. Walking up to him, he demanded, "What happened? All day long you blessed horses and they won, even though they were long shots. Then at the last race you blessed a horse, I bet everything and the horse lost."

"That's the problem with you Protestants," said the priest. "You can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and the Last Rites."

because it's friday (no meat):

Lost on a rainy Friday night, a priest stumbles into a monastery and requests shelter there. Fortunately, he's just in time for dinner and was treated to the best fish and chips he's ever had.

After dinner, he goes into the kitchen to thank the chefs. He is met by two brothers, "Hello, I'm Brother Michael, and this is Brother Francis."

"I'm very pleased to meet you. I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful dinner. The fish and chips were the best I've ever tasted. Out of curiosity, who cooked what?"

Brother Charles replied, "Well, I'm the fish friar."

Father turns to the other brother and says, "Then you must be...."

"Yes, I'm afraid I'm the chip monk..."

We need a shaking the head smilie ( )

We need a shaking the head smilie ( )

We had a list of 7 reprobate smilies on trial, each one as guilty as could be and each one got an unconditional pardon. Do you think the saints are trying to teach us a lesson on mercy here? 

Without trying to sound like the the stay at home brother in the story of the prodical son, I wonder is there enough room in the smiley house for new members with those 7 having been welcomed home with open arms? 

[Brigid]

But Martin, isn't there always room for one more? Maybe the lesser used smilies could be archived (although still accessible) while still receiving the same pay and benefits. Would that help, Shin?
