Riddle Me This

Ali Buba owns a very valuable diamond that he keeps in a wooden box in his tent. The box is covered with a sliding wooden lid. Inside the box is a snake that has a poisonous bite so deadly it will kill a man instantly. Ishmael broke into Ali's tent one morning and within moments he had stolen the diamond. Ishmael did not touch the snake in any way, nor did he wear any protection on his hands. After Ishmael had left, the box was intact and the snake unharmed. How was Ishmael able to remove the diamond from the box without any special tools or help? You can leave me a comment and ask me questions that I can answer "yes" "no" or "irrelevant". I will post your comment with my answer.

Science Project

In a school science class three worms were placed into three separate jars. The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol. The second worm was put into a jar of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a jar of soil. After one day, these were the results: The first worm in alcohol- dead. The second worm in cigarette smoke- dead. The third worm in soil- alive. So the Science teacher asked the class "What can you learn from this experiment?" Little Johnny quickly raised his hand and said, "As long as you drink and smoke, you wont have worms."

For Christmas I asked for car seat covers. I pulled the first one out, and it was shapeless. I was disappointed. All seat covers are not created equal. So I never put them on. About a month ago, I attempted to put the shapeless one on my drivers seat and attach it with all the clips that came with it. It wouldn't stay on to save my life, so I wasn't about to put the others on.

Friday, the weather was so lovely, and my car was begging to be cleaned. I decided to break down and put all my seat covers on as well. When I finally pulled all the covers out of the package, lo and behold there were two nicely shaped ones for the front seats, the shapeless ones were for the rear seat. After much struggle, my dad helped me get them on. Don't they look nice?

There's a story to go with my fuzzy steering wheel cover too. I made it from fuzzy yarn cause I often forget my gloves. Stacy and Dad protested that they would no longer drive my car. (hee, hee) Well, the other car broke down and Stacy HAD to drive mine to go get the parts. While at the parts store, a lady says "I LOOOVE your steering wheel cover!" Vehemently he declared the car belonged to his sister! (hee, hee)

One Wednesday night, I wasn't feeling well, so he drove me home from church. We encountered a road block with a dozen policemen. One shines the light into the car and notices my fuzzy steering wheel. He said "Man, that has GOT to be her car!" I am laughing my head off. He calls another fellow to come see it. This guy said "I'd take that off if I were you, man." He hollered at another guy that he needed to get him one of them. (hee, hee)

I will take it off......one of these days.

AAADD

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden.As I turn on the hose in the driveway,I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage,I notice mail on the porch table thatI brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table,put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills backon the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think,since I'm going to be near the mailboxwhen I take out the garbage anyway,I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table,and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study,so I go inside the house to my desk whereI find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks,but first I need to push the Pepsi asideso that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm,and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,a vase of flowers on the countercatches my eye--they need water. I put the Pepsi on the counter anddiscover my reading glasses thatI've been searching for all morning.I decide I better put them back on my desk,but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter,fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,I'll be looking for the remote,but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers,but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table,get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying toremember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day:the car isn't washedthe bills aren't paidthere is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counterthe flowers don't have enough water,there is still only 1 check in my check book,I can't find the remote,I can't find my glasses,and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long,and I'm really tired.

Tinkerbell

My neice Kaylynn turned three this week. She and Ella spent the weekend with us and we had her a Tinkerbell party. I made a cake and drew Tinkerbell on some edible icing paper. I made Kaylynn a box of dress up stuff, and a Tink costume was one of them.

Valentines

I LOVE Valentines Day! I had 6 gals come over that day to an elegant lunch. I made them decoupage boxes as gifts. I decorated my Sunday school room and we had a party as well as made more boxes. I made heart shaped Jello jigglers and heart shaped cookies that I couldn't get out of the pan. I was on the phone with a friend who suggested I use a timer so I wouldn't burn a third batch.
