Good afternoon all my pals! I do hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was very quiet and nice. I wanted to ask if you guys like this font type and size better? If you do, I will use it. I think it might be easier to read. Let me know.
I have something fun for "Wordplay" today! It's very easy so everyone can participate. Visit this link from Think.com . It says, "Get a Random Quote". Press the button. Share your quote with us in the comments section! If you don't like your first quote, pick another. Why did you pick this quote? Is this a serious or funny quote? Are there any thoughts you would like to share about your quote?
My quote is: "I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it." by Steven Wright. I chose this because I thought it was funny! Do you feed it bird? LOL What do you think? Tell me about your quote!
On another note, Kellen is hosting an abbreviated version of his Journal Tournament called "Tournament Revolutionized" . I have participated in a couple of his Tournaments in the past and they prove to be loads of fun and I have learned a heck of a lot! Kellen puts a lot of time and energy and creative effort into his Tournaments to make them a great time! You can also meet new journalers in the process! If you want to try something new and like a little bit of competition (or a lot!) give it a go and sign up!! Now is the time to do it. Registration runs through November 30. Kellen asked us to put this blurb in our journals and I am happy to comply, Kellen!...
JOURNAL TOURNAMENT - A three task tournament between journalers,
building community and friendly competition in J-Land. The tournament is in
an experimental phase... a one task 20 question Tournament Revolutionized.
If you sign up, you will be asked to complete those 20 questions by the
appropriate deadline, and whoever has the most points, will be declared the
winner! It's a great way to get involved and see if you like the Journal
Tournament without signing up for the full three tasks. Everyone who has
joined the past three tournaments has had a blast! See what it's all about...

Hello Val, I heard a good one a few weeks back on the anniversary of Will Roger's birthday. He was known for some good ones. The one I heard on the radio was "what this country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds." I liked that one..it's so true. Have a good Sunday afternoon, Linda in Washington state
ReplyDeleteHey, Val--I get a random quote in my in-box every day. This one came last week, and I thought that it was interesting:

Well, he swould have known about trying something new. I don't mean his great accomplishments. I mean cheating on his wife....the SOB......leaving her with one son and another schizhophrenic son who eventually made her so sick (son attacked her physically) that she died. I believe she stayed in the mental hospital with her son, so he wouldn't be alone. Geez, didn't I pick a subject to bring cheer! Yikes! See what happens when I'm sleep deprived!!!!!! : )
Visit my journal for my quote. It's quite funny.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kathy
Steven Wright is hilarious ! In answer to your question, well --- if bird seed grows birds and birds eat bird seed ---- planting a dead bird should produce fertilizer for growing seed that comes from some other place than planting bird seed. Remember, baby's come from underneath cabbage leaves! Obviously bird seed comes from over the Internet and is delivered to your home. No question's asked! Did the deer have a little doe? Ya, two bucks! ( The Three Stoogies ) So you see the Internet gets the seeds from the Three Stoogies. Do you see where I going with this? Steven Wright is Curly's grandson! ( not to be confused with the actor personally ) mark
