Did anyone here get an e-mail, supposedly from me, saying I'm broke and if PF doesn't get $10,000 in a week we'll shut down?

It's a fake, and it's not true either.

If you did get it, please forward it to me as an attachment, or in a way so that the full header information is included. Thanks!

Ares, that's cause they know we're poor. We don't have that kind of money to donate. ;)

Ralph got up too early too. Ralph was up late and was gonna come into work late but Ralph showed up only 15 minutes late.

Sam should go back to bed. That's what Ralph would do if Ralph was at home.

:-)

Did Sam & everyone have a good 4th of July?

sam would go back to bed, were sam not wide awake. see, once sam is awake, sam cannot get back to sleep. and since sam is fully awake, he's gonna make a trip downtown and get pictures of the last remaining lucy statues he needs.

sam had a good 4th. sam's sister had a good birthday. sam's sister's would-be boyfriend, if she made any time for guys stopped by yesterday. sam introduced him to sam's knife. just to make sure his good-girl sister stays a good-girl :)

Lucy! Sounds like a plan for the 5th of July.

Man it's quiet today.

Last night was even quiet. Usually in our neighborhood they shoot off fireworks until 3:00 AM. I got to sleep around 1:30 last night and didn't hear any going off.

You think that knife is gonna matter? I've got 5 sisters and I've found that they're gonna do what they're gonna do. :-)

Have fun today, Ares.

thats cuz they came over to these parts and did it. when they weren't firing real bullets over by me2's place. (yes, me2, if you read this, check the paper. seems there was some action in your neck of the woods yesterday afternoon).

i swear, next year, i'm getting bottle rockets and shelling the kids across the alley!!!

oh, and i know. its a really long story that erin once told this guy about. i just gotta keep up with it. :)

yup.

i like shelling them better. :)

on second thought, a pressure washer might be fun too.

Hello!

So ares is collecting photos of Lucy. Interesting. Didn't know you were into that.

Pressure washers are fun! Inks got one earlier this year and has found many useful things to do with it.

We went down to the beach to watch fireworks over the lake last night. It was cool enough that the skeeters stayed away and we didn't need bug stuff. I can't remember a 4th of July that we didn't get pestered from bugs while watching fireworks.

Things quieted down about midnight so that wasn't too bad...but if anyone had wanted to sleep before that, they would have needed earplugs.

Another gorgeous day here in the north. It's 72 degrees, dry, and there's a nice breeze blowing.

After seeing an old cartoon today (April 2002)-

It is of the earth in space and two men (one hanging of each side of the earth (as the earth is falling/breaking apart)--one man is Palestine the other Israel...

I think they would beg to differ with us on who the earth revolves around :(

Hi everyone! We got rained out on Saturday night but had fun playing some game of AW's! No fireworks at the TASTE! Called it an early eve.

Anyone here golf? This is a pic of some famous David guy? golfer- who won this trophy. We got to meet him at the Mall of America a few days ago. It was pretty cool. we played a putting game--If we would have gotten a 'hole in one' than we would have won tickets to some PGA match here in Minnesota but all we got were these Tommy Hilfiger caps---but this guy David Tomm? signed the caps :)

Since I work at a golf store at MOA, I can answer who that guy is. The gentleman is David Toms, winner of last years PGA Championship. The tournament this year will be held at Hazeltine Golf course this year, here in Minnesota.

i love to tell the story about the first game of golf i ever played. shot an 85 or so. which sounds impressive until i tell you it was on a 9-hole course.

Hello!

The long weekend is winding to a close - but it's been a good one, hasn't it?

We got into golfing for awhile...but decided that running around after a little white ball getting more and more frustrated with the whole thing wasn't worth it. We gave it up to protect our sanity. Hehehehe

I wonder if there will be fireworks from the Taste tonight. Looks like rain moving in just in time to get in the way of a good show. I was looking forward to them as the ones on the lake up north were okay, but I guess I'm spoiled.

Sun, 07/07/2002 - 6:57 PM Permalink
ares




coincidentally, that's the only round of golf i've ever played :)

aw, kids, me2, and i were quite disappointed with the *lack* of fireworks from the taste last nite. so if it rains, don't be surprised if they cancel them again.

Sun, 07/07/2002 - 7:01 PM Permalink
Terry

Checking the radar loop, looks like rain is moving in so I guess I won't count on any show.

We probably attempted playing golf for about 2 years before the frustration got too great. :-)

Now that is what my husband Mark says---whats the point in running after a little white ball. Well now the funny thing is that they have a yearly golf game through work and also he go's at least 2 other times with co-workers NOW he does not care to golf BUT guess who would like to go? ME! :(

Thanks for the clarification KIDS-I can't believe I was almost right--just added to many M's in his last name (but that seams to be what I know best-M's...well...one of the things :))

sorry about talking about you behind your back, j. didn't know you were on :) or played golf for that matter.

i keep telling my sister that she ought to take a golf class at st. kates for a phys. ed. requirement. after all she's gonna be a doctor, she better know how to play the game. she's just not into the whole concept.

My sister joined a golf league thingy through work and loves it. Perhaps you could find something like that?

yes dear. of course we like you. or we at least put on a good show.

not that i was saying anything nasty or anything. just that it was behind your back.

golf is one of those things i'd love to learn how to play. i just never saw the logic behind paying a hundred bucks for the credit to take it in college. well, until after college when a hundred bucks to learn to play golf is chump change.

Some of those club things fill up fast. Golfing has gotten more popular now so I suppose that's even worse.

In todays Bulletin Board (Pioneer Press)...or was it yesterdays...a woman wrote in about how she has a mailbox with a red flag ---she says she ALWAYS puts mail out to go and puts the flag up, JUST SO SHE KNOWS WHEN HE COMES WITH MAIL--- so when the mailman comes by he puts the flag down so she knows he came right?

well, then she says she does this and the cool thing is on rainy or snowy days she knows not to run out and check her mailbox for mail cause the flag would be still up, right?

well, then my question is...wouldn't you have to go out in the rain or snow to put the mail in the mailbox and put the flag up so you know when the mailman comes and puts the flag down? so whats the point?

Sorry TV, thought of that after you posted RAIN!

apparently she hadn't thought that far through.

either that or she waits till the flag goes down, gets her mail and then turns the flag back up.

she waits till the flag goes down, gets her mail and then turns the flag back up.

But than she would have to put more mail in the box otherwise she would be pulling jokes on the postman.

She must really not like the stamp rate $$hike!
