Ok whalebot, where is JasmineTea and what have you done with him?


Hmm, whalebot, do3nut, JT are they really just aliases?

 

 

 

Not "aliases"....perhaps "aliens" though, if I do say so me-self.....

Hurry up and say something funny.

 

 

Hmmm, try this to keep you smiling for the last 20 minutes:

 

To those of us who have children in our lives,

whether they are our own,

grandchildren,

nieces,

nephews,

or students...

here is something to make you chuckle.

 

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God 's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

 

After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.

 

And the first thing he said was "DON'T ! "

 

 

"Don't what? " Adam replied.

 

 

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

 

 

"Forbidden fruit ? We have forbidden fruit ? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit! "

 

"No Way! "

 

"Yes way! "

 

"Do NOT eat the fruit ! " said God.

 

"Why ?"

 

"Because I am your Father and I said so ! "

 

God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.

 

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break

and He was ticked !

 

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit? " God asked.

 

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

 

"Then why did you ? " said the Father.

 

"I don't know," said Eve.

 

"She started it! " Adam said.

 

"Did not! "

 

"Did too ! "

 

 

"DID NOT! "

 

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.

 

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

 

BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!

 

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.

 

If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be

a piece of cake for you?

 

 

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT !

 

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

 

 

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

 

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

 

4. Children seldom misquote you.

 

In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

 

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own ...

 

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

 

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

 

Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

 

AND FINALLY:

 

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,

DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

 

And play the guitar of course... :poke:

You know that insanity is hereditary, right?

 

 

 

 

You get it from your kids! :p

It was an old bluegrass tradition to put a rattlesnake rattle in your instrument. Mando players, guit players, even bass players. The theory behind it being that if a rodent got in your guitar, it would disturb the rattle, making it shake, and generally freaking out the rodent. They won't come back after that.

 

I plan on getting a rattlesnake rattle for my acoustic, if I ever get a nice one.

Not really a problem with the acoustic. More of an issue with the electrics, they especially like the f-holes in the 335. Which reminds me:

 

Whats the difference between an electric guitar player and a rat?

 

One is a vile vermin carrying, disease infested pest that lives in its own feces, multiplies quickly and destroys its surroundings, and the other is a rodent.

A week doesn't go by that my mother doesn't ask when she's going to have Grandchildren. I've long since believed her motives are more of the payback variety then anything else.
