Want to have some fun? Check out Linguistic Puzzles.
Each puzzle (that I’ve done so far) gives you several phrases in a language. Then it presents some phrases that you have to translate, either to or from, English. If you like puzzles, it’s great fun. Well, the easy ones are fun. I’ve only done one of the mediums. I’m guessing the diamond and double-diamonds are diabolical.
Here’s the clue portion for Tajik, the language of Tajikistan:
Be careful. You might spend all day on it.
Have a fun and safe Holiday weekend!
Verizon has been our cellular service provider for about 6 1/2 years. Verizon has great cellular service. In all these years there is only one spot I have found that does not have service and that is just North of Fairplay, Colorado. We have never had an issue with Verizon’s cellular service. We have however, had many many problems with their phones and their customer service.
About a week ago we decided to jump ship and switch to AT&T. Their cellular service sucks but I like the phone. 
We literally only get one bar in our house.
I think I need a little more time to decide which is more important to me. Reliability or beauty?
Awesome!
Due to the end of golf league, Pizza and Pint night will resume in approximately five hours.
This weekend I flew to Colorado to see my brother, who recently returned from his 3rd tour in Iraq. My mom, my sister Fran, and my sister in law had a welcome home party for him. I was torn on whether or not I should go, I had Solveig’s wedding on one hand and my brother on the other hand. In the end I chose my brother. Here is a quick review of how my weekend went.
I flew in Friday afternoon rented a car, picked up my sister Anna and her two kids, Austin and Amber and arrived at my mom’s house around 11:30 pm. It was a long afternoon and I was ready for a nice cold beer. So off to the bar I went with Anna and my brother.
WOW! It was one beer right after the other. Drinks were coming from all around. I swear everyone in the bar bought us a round. I am 100% percent sure that only happened because we were with my brother. I am sure I had at least seven drinks before the bar closed at 2:00 and I left four full bottles on the bar.
Saturday was his welcome home party. I started drinking around 3:00 and finally had my nephew Austin drive me home a little after midnight. (I think)
Sunday my dad had a Carne Asada, a.k.a. a barbecue. Here is a picture of the bulls horns that my dad killed two days before.
Sunday I only had one beer because I had to drive back to Denver to catch my flight early Monday morning. Those that were not driving were not so lucky. My uncle Benji brought out the Mezcal my other uncle made. Yup! Made! Honestly, that stuff is more like white lightning, it will numb your face and pucker your A hole.

Here is a little saying about Mezcal “para todo mal, mezcal y para todo bien también” (for everything bad, mezcal, and for everything good, too.)
Dream until your dreams come true.
I’m not sure if I find this cute or disturbing. How about you?
Who said birds were not smart?
Very clever little booger.
Isn’t that the truth?
Moo is driving?
Lola, a four-year-old tabby, was discovered 15 hours later by owner Darryl Mann after he heard her cries.
He then checked his security cameras and saw footage of the woman first stroking Lola and then grabbing her by the neck and throwing her in the bin.
In a statement released to the media on Wednesday afternoon, Ms Bale, 45, said: “I want to take this opportunity to apologise profusely for the upset and distress that my actions have caused. I cannot explain why I did this, it is completely out of character and I certainly did not intend to cause any distress to Lola or her owners.”
The bank worker, from the Stoke area of Coventry, added: “It was a split second of misjudgment that has got completely out of control. I am due to meet with the RSPCA and police to discuss this matter further and will co-operate fully with their investigations.”
A CRUEL woman filmed dumping a cat in a wheelie bin has been named and shamed today.
Grey-haired Mary Bale became one of Britain’s most hated women when footage of her dropping four-year-old tabby Lola into the green recycling bin was posted on YouTube and Facebook yesterday.
She has since been given police protection — after sickened animal lovers bombarded her with death threats.
Police stepped in today and informally offered the bank worker, aged around 50, protection. Officers are now on duty outside her home.
The guard was put in place as her mum Celia claimed her daughter actually LOVES cats — and doesn’t know what came over her.
She said: “Her father Maurice is hospital in the moment and is very ill. I think she was just in a world of her own. We all are at the moment.
“Mary said she just didn’t know what possessed her, or what came over her, it’s just very strange because she cannot explain her actions at all.
“We’re all living on edge at moment, she doesn’t know what happened.
“She absolutely adores cats, she’s an animal lover, it just doesn’t make sense.
“We’re just hoping we can all get through this because I know a lot of people are not happy about it.
Here kitty kitty! Just joking I personally think this lady is getting everything she deserves.
