I love this place. Each morning I open this thread to see what goofy things you come up with. It starts my day on the right (light) foot.

Thanks for the site tip, Dorothy. Now I KNOW that I need to get my speakers working again. Best Buy, here I come.......even tho I hate to walk in the door there. They charge an arm and a leg just to walk up to the service counter and then say "it will be ready in two days'. Do they really expect me to go without Dorothy's humor for T-W-O days?

You must get the same T.V. commercials as I do! That's funny.

Anything that ends in "ara" is preceded by the name of the person that made the cross, at least that is what I read somewhere.

Anything that ends in "ara" has the name of the person that made the cross before it. Somewhere there is a Mr. or Ms. Vuylsteke toiling away making crosses for all of us to struggle with pronouncing.
