NFL
UPDATE:
The American Indian
Counsel has requested that the NFL disassociate itself with Indian Names. The
Washington Redskins will therefore change their name to the Washington Foreskins
in honor of all the pricks in Washington DC - effective
immediately.
Can't wait for football !!

Yesterday was a trip to the dentist. My
hygienist, Liz, has left my local RR dentist, after 26 years!, and has moved to
work with a dentist where she worked part-time for years, Deborah Maryak DDS, in
Grants Pass at Bright Now Dental. (1021 NE 6th St, GP)
I
switched dentists because I think the world of Liz and she is the BEST! AND now
I just am crazy about Dr. Deborah too! She is awesome, thorough, pretty, nice,
and her man has a Fat Boy Harley!!! Anyway, a real good experience. Now x-rays
are digital. Immediately they appear on the screen and can be enlarged. Then in
the exam room the screen shows the x-rays so the hygienist can check them as
well as the dentist during the exam...
Then,
unbeknownst to me, my son Brian's family all go there and Liz and Dr. Deborah
have worked on their teeth! Found this out as I was standing at the counter and
saw a State Farm pen and asked who their agent was... Brian Pendleton! How
funny. Small world. Small town!
Ok,
now I have to tell you about a friend of Liz who was driving in Gold Hill when a
whole flock of turkeys started crossing the road in front of her.
She
slowed to a stop, noticing a policeman was behind her. As the turkeys crossed
and she started to go, a lone turkey ran back out in front of her.
She
hit it! It bounced straight up and hit the hood, windshield, and then bounced
back and hit the policeman's radio car! He pulled her over and gave her a
ticket. Can you imagine! Wait for
it.............................................
The
citation was for 'flipping the bird at a cop' !
(Ok, I
know my poleeece friends will laugh~! Thanks for that Liz, I'm still giggline!)
Then,
off to do some shopping. Picked up a new seasoning, never had tried, but it was
"bogo" so ....
Sounds great!
My
Bruiser was gone all night Thursday night. :o( Always makes me sad and I
worry, but he was sitting on the porch waiting for me when I got home yesterday
afternoon. Now he's glued to me! (and my desk!)
Try
this....... REALLY GOOD!

Scrabble Day celebrates the popular board game. It's been popular around the
world ever since. People young and old enjoy this game.
Scrabble was created in 1938 by Alfred Mosher Butts. It is sold by Hasbro,

It's very easy to celebrate Scrabble Day. Just get out the old board game,
dust it off, and play a few rounds with family or friends.
