Isn't this how it always works out and the Men think we should appreciate
their efforts.....WTH:) lol
BBQ SEASON
After many long months of cold and winter, we are
finally coming up to spring and BBQ season.
Therefore,
it is important to refresh your memory on the
etiquette of this outdoor cooking ritual, as it's
the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably
because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ, the
following chain of events is put into motion:
Routine:
1. The woman buys the food.
2. The woman makes a salad, prepares vegetables,and makes dessert.
3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it
on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils
and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - drink in hand.
Here comes the important part:
4.THE.....MAN.....PLACES.....THE.....MEAT.....ON.....THE.....GRILL.
More routine:
5. The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
6. The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will
bring another drink while he deals with the situation.
Important again:
7.THE.....MAN.....TAKES.....THE.....MEAT.....OFF.....THE.....GRILL.....AND...HANDS.....IT.....TO.....THE.....WOMAN.
More routine:
8. The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the
table.
9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
10. Everyone PRAISES THE MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
11. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off" and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes
that there's just no pleasing some women!
Happy BBQ Season everyone!

April parties in 30!!!
So April's 30th birthday is this Wednesday but her hubby Dan threw a big party for her on Saturday at her parents house in N.T. Here's a group shot of our crew minus Chris (we missed you!!). It was a great little cook-out and it was great for everyone to get together. It's honestly my favorite thing to do. As much as I love to throw parties, it was nice to just show up and relax. Of course we'll have a little something for her here at the office on Wednesday. I'm making a cake and Nicole (purple top next to me) and Yates (black top on the far end) put together a scrapbook for her covering the next year. I did June and that's the first month. We had the whole department sign it and I'm going to print this picture and put it in so her first month is done. By the way, April's the one in the black dress, back row. I've seriously got the greatest group of girls and they've all got the greatest guys. If I could take a piece from each, I think I'd have found my perfect mate. LOL Happy Birthday April!!!!
Monk
In my rant & rave at Home Depot I had sorta started to calm down but here's what made me chill like a block of ice. On the way out I saw a true, life-sized, in the flesh Buddist monk. It was soooooo freakin cool. Monks rock!
Home Depot Sucks
I just need to put it out there that Home Depot sucks. I mean big time. A week & a half ago my brother and I got 11 cases of tile for our bathroom. Donald even paid for it. We go on Saturday to pick it up and they can't find it. About 30 minutes later it's discovered that they sold all of the tile, including our 11 cases. After huffing & puffing they say they found some at the Niagara Falls Blvd store & it's going to be shipped over. According to Home Depot, it'll be at the Elmwood store either Wednesday or Thursday. The scary part is we had to do a Will Call again for more things we needed. Ugh!!!

Dan-Jumbo Charges Discharged
Ok, I've seen this guy on his show and he always measures everything wrong. Like I'd want to hire him as my handyman. Now he dates someone my mother works with and is the sister of one of her friends. He comes across fairly well but lets face it. Celebrity's gone to his brain. A friend works for the organization in question so while I can't actually say what happened I can say he was in the wrong. My only question now is...... how big was the donation?

Best Fitness
So the BAC has once again become something I hate going to and haven't been in months except once a couple weeks ago. My brother had signed us all up for a new gym that's opening their first location in Western New York. They're called Best Fitness and are mostly at the other end of the state & in the New England area. We went to their open house this past Saturday and while it didn't look like much - they're still under construction - I could see the vision just from how passionately the owner talked about it. The best part was that at the other end of the plaza they had set up an office with a few pieces of the new equipment they'd be using. Just seeing it got me excited. There's flat screen TV's on the treadmills and some of the other pieces. I think they even had one on the elliptical which would be awesome. Here's the kicker. When we walked into the office, I knew the guy in there looked awfully familiar. I popped into the back room to check out the machines & hear my father say "What are you doing here?" Oh great, I think to myself. A few minutes at a new gym & he runs into someone he knows. LOL Turns out this guy was the trainer at the gym in his surgeon's office. Now he's going to be a personal trainer for Best Fitness. Yeah!!! Dad's talked a lot about him and seems to be comfortable with him so, if the price is right, I think I'll hire him as my own personal trainer. That's really what I need to keep on track anyway. If you get a chance, check out the site:

Marth Moment turned Good
As all my friends & family can attest, I see something on a home improvement show and think "Hey, I can do that." I call these my Martha Moments and they rarely turn out. My dining room chairs were 2nd hand from my cousin Melissa who didn't take care of the set at all. Well, I get a Martha Moment and think "I can re-stain that and probably recover the chair cushins to. Why not?" IT WORKED!!!!! Here's a before & after shot of the chairs. I did the re-staining myself and mom helped with the re-covering of the cushins. Don't they look great?! The best part is that the fabric is normall $10 a yard and I got it on sale for 50% off. Now doesn't that make them look even better! :-)
Support the Troops Cake
A while back I told you about Kari's school having the Chinese auction and how I was asked to do a couple of cakes. Well, here's my favorite and it was labeled the "Support Our Troops" cake. I'm also going to brag freely that it brought in the most money raising $16 for this cake alone!!!

Falcons Return to Buffalo
Peregrin Falcons return to the next
For the second time in history, a pair of Paragrine Falcons have staked out a nest on a window ledge of the Statler building. Perched at the 19th floor, the falcons now have four feathery babies in the nest.
Check them out in live time here.
"Soon enough you will be able to see the soaring birds of prey testing out their new wings and tracking down their first prey (almost exclusively small birds in flight) in the city skies around their home. But like any fledgling youngster, their first fly will require some practice, so they will likely be found hopping around the streets and sidewalks surrounding the Statler. Keep your eyes peeled when driving downtown, and if you do spot a struggling falcon chick, call the DEC at 851-7010 so they can return it to its nest.After about six weeks the four falcons (three females and one male) will depart to make their own homes in the wild --or urban-- world, likely leaving their mother and father atop the Statler to raise next year's offspring."It’s becoming increasingly common [for falcons] to make nests in cities," said DEC Spokeswoman Megan Gollwitzer. "They have been adapting to these urban environments. Often biologists will put nest boxes on tall buildings and bridges," since falcons traditionally nest 50-to-200 feet in the air. "

Tennis anyone???
Got this great picture from Chris's site. It's a tennis court somewhere in Dubai. THis honestly makes me want to take up tennis. :0)
Frank Lloyd Wright
Kari's been working on a big project this year on Frank Lloyd Wright. After helping her I can say there's no question one of the 5 of us can't answer. Here's a couple pictures of what has become a family favorite - Falling water in PA. It's Frank's most famous house built for someone who's not a part of a royal family. We're happy to share pictures so if you're interested, just ask! :)
A wide gulf gets wider
I know change is going to come no matter what and I welcome it on most occasions. It just seems that lately, or at least since she got engaged, that there's been this "gulf" between Chris & I and it just keeps getting wider and wider. She's got her husband, school, and things to do for in-laws. Maybe I'm just over tired and reading too much into this, but can a gulf become a cavern?

Wes & his first Harley

A southerner's view on Gas & Immigration
Hi there,
Just a note to tell you that my mailbox is being flooded with mail concerning gas prices and illegal immigrants.
To boycott oil companies or not; to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants or not, etc. Since I have become jaded to the various solutions proposed by the Republicans, Democrats, Sierra Club, ACLU, etc., I have elected to solve the problems as they affect me.
My response solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems........................
I have hired illegal immigrants to push my car.
They're plentiful and cheaper than buying gas.
Then I pay them in Pesos so they have to go home to spend it.
Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
Have a great day.

Give War a Chance, by Major Paine
I was reading my other favorite blog - One Marine's View (found to the right) this morning and here's his lates post. Not only is it powerful, he's RIGHT!
June 04, 2007
Give War a Chance
American Forces Press Service May 22, 2007 WASHINGTON - Many Marines areconcerned that Americans aren't willing to invest enough time for success inIraq, the Corps' top officer said here yesterday.Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James T. Conway told Pentagon reporters thatdefense officials must do a better job of communicating to the Americanpeople the cost of leaving Iraq too soon.
While Americans disagree on the reasons for going into Iraq, there is muchmore agreement on what would happen if coalition forces left beforeachieving success, Conway said.Americans have to understand that defeating an insurgency is a long-termproposition, he said."Historically, (defeating insurgents) has (taken) somewhere between nine and10 years, with various levels of effort," he said. "I think that there isless of an appetite in our country than we the military might think we needto sustain that kind of effort over that period of time."The general said coalition forces in Iraq see incremental daily progress."They want to be able to sustain that progress, because they want to be ableto succeed and come out with our credibility high and the credibility of theUnited States ... where it was when we went in," he said. "So in thatcontext, I think that our servicemen and women would wish for as much timeas it takes to do the job, realizing that incremental progress will one daytake us over the top."Conway, who has been commandant for about six months, said he is encouragedby coalition progress in Iraq's Anbar province."What we are seeing transpire in the al Anbar province today is a clear,discernible wedge between the Sunni tribes and the al Qaeda in Iraq," hesaid. "It has taken four years for these folks to realize that the al Qaedain Iraq could offer no more than a future filled with fear and instability."Tribal leaders and sheikhs in the Sunni province have thrown their lots inwith the Iraqi government. "Some very brave people have stepped up to speakout against al Qaeda and encourage their fellow tribesmen to work togethertoward an Iraq that is stable and at peace with its neighbors," Conway said."Now more than ever, it's imperative for the power of the (United States) tocontinue to support the people of Iraq economically, politically andmilitarily."Progress in Anbar province has been so great that it has changed strategy inthe region, Conway said. At one point, U.S. and Iraqi officials viewed thesituation in Anbar province as bleak and forecast that it would be the lastprovince to transition to Iraqi provincial control. "That has changed,"Conway said. "We now have Sunnis in large numbers joining the Iraqi army inthe al Anbar province. We have more Sunni tribesmen wanting to become policethan we have the opportunity to train on a monthly basis."As part of the military surge to quell violence, two battalions arescheduled to go to the province. "Any plus-up effort ... (is) in a very realsense reinforcing success," Conway said.The situation is so much better that the additional battalions may beshifted to other areas in the country, Conway said, adding that much of theprovince could fall under the control of the Iraqi police and army.Conway said he is pleased with moves to rush procurement of Mine ResistantAmbush Protected Vehicles, which are more effective than up-armored Humveesat withstanding the deadly effects of roadside bombs. "These vehicles willtruly have a positive impact on our ability to better protect our Marinesand sailors operating at the tip of the spear," the commandant said.Conway also reported on efforts to increase the size of the Marine Corps to202,000 personnel through 2011. Recruiters are doing a superb job in aconstrained environment, Conway said. He noted that growing casualty listshave made it tougher for recruiters to convince "influencers" -- parents,coaches, teachers etc. -- to encourage qualified young Americans to considerthe military.Surveys show that the propensity for all major ethnic groups in the UnitedStates to join the all-volunteer military is down. Still, Conway has taskedrecruiters with ensuring that the Marine Corps reflect the ethnic diversityof America, he said.

Imagine that!
Those Born 1930-1979
READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO. IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE---VERY WELL STATED
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we t ook hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms.......
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unh eard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of themâ?¦CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this.
For the rest of us...pass this on.

New baby Foal
Chris's friend has a horse farm up in Port Colburn and this weekend they welcomed a new foal to the fold. Isn't he soooo cute?!?!?! I wish I could go see him but this makes me want to pick up a favorite hobby... horseback riding. Only done it a few times so I'm not sure if it counts really as a hobby but this little guy's just so cute!
An English Treat
My friend Chris always has great and sometimes random things on her blog. This happens to be one of them. Our co-worker Sean is known for being off the wall and then some. He found a can of Microwaveable Spotted Dick in his pantry. Ok, here's my questions..... does Pfizer make an ointment for that???? LOL
Mickey Ashmore
I was browsing through some random blogs and came across this one. It's really interesting as he's traveling through India right now... a place I'd really love to see one day. Check it out if you get the chance!

Prayer for our troops
I got this in an email and thought it was really great. Hope you can all join us:
Subject: Power of Prayer
Any day above ground is a good one. It should work...
Someone has said if Christians really understood the full extent of the
power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.
Did you know that during W.W.II there was an advisor to Churchill who
organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a
prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of
England, its people and peace.
There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.
If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 PM Eastern
Time(8:00 PM Central) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and
spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops,
our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation.
If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this
along.
Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR BELIEVING FRIENDS!

For our Prez..
I was looking for a quote to add to a specific email and I came across this one. Maybe President Bush should use it when talking about the war in Iraq:
"You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it."
Thatcher, Margaret British political leader (1925- )

Running Report
So Wednesday I started running and felt great after my first "class" if you will. Yesterday I was in training from 9-2 with little movement but at the end of the day I still felt great. I'd have gone for a walk last night but the humidity for me is dangerously close to unbearable. This morning I wake up and could have cut my legs off above the knee. A friend at work told me I'd feel it today and stupidly I didn't believe her. Oh how sorry I am! LOL We're supposed to get rain today and with any luck it'll come through and bring down the humidity. If it does, I'm so going for that walk. Yikes!
