Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating in the US

We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

What are you thankful for?

   

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
 
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my    inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you. . . . .

An Island Vacation At This Time Of Year Requires A Personal Shopper

I've always wanted to "get away from it all" to somewhere tropical for the holiday season and this year I've gotten my wish! Tori, myself and my menz are spending the next 3 days enjoying sand, surf, and fun here at DIK! I decided to leave my blowfish bikini top in my hut and in keeping with the season brought along my "Christmas pudding" bikini top. No, that is not me wearing said, um garment but hey one can dream right? I think the white stuff is custard, but who knows? Tori is wearing her usual island attire, she hates her Santa suit and looks positively miserable when I make her wear it.

Since it is the holiday season, and I am frightfully behind with everything this year, shopping, decorating, etc. etc. I decided the only way I could manage an island trip was if I hired a personal shopper. I enlisted my good blogger friend Ms. Moonlight's help in finding likely candidates to enter a personal shopper selection process, my only request was that said applicants be clothed which was a tough sell for Ms. M., because, well you know Ms.M., but she came through for me in the end! lol

So, I was wondering what your preference might be if you could hire a personal shopper to free up time in order to get away to a desert island for a few days? And here is the short list of likely candidates to choose from.

Behind Door #1 we have Suit &, um, Tie Guy. I think he would do quite nicely. Nice chiseled features, ripped abs, and most of all, a very nicely tailored suit and matching tie that would add a certain sophistication to the representation. Further, he looks like he could read the list, and of course count the money when buying the gifts which are two absolute imperatives. I also think those nimble looking fingers would do a fine job of wrapping the newly purchased gifts.

Hell, I'm sure all this applicant would have to do is snap his fingers and any sweet young sales girl would be his beck and call girl. *waggles brows* lol

Behind Door #2 we have Beach Dude wearing bathing trunks & large black beads. I have to wonder how long he has been laying in the ocean. I'd be concerned about wrinkly skin and paper cuts when he tries to wrap the Christmas gifts, but hey it's not me applying for the job!

There is also the issue of the freezing cold weather here in the northern hemisphere so he might like to at least put a tee shirt on when venturing out to do the shopping. However I'm sure with those good looks, he could easily find a volunteer to do the shopping in exchange for spending a little quality time with his protégé.

Beach Dude may be the perfect candidate for those of you living in warmer climates so feel free to voice your opinion.

Behind Door #3 we have Rugged Cowboy Guy, who would certainly catch the lovely ladies behind the sales counters eye, dressed in those faded jeans, chaps, and of course the Stetson. I've always had a hankerin for the ruggedly handsome type, and the prospect of sending a cowboy to do my shopping is very apealing. I especially like the "unshaven look".

You gotta wonder though what he is looking at? hmmm  lol Nice physique eh?

And last but certainly not least we have Ms. M's choice and it happens to be a "herd of personal shoppers".

To quote my fellow DIK contributor, "why settle for just one cowboy when you can have a group?! (note: some don't use their hands to hold up their hats!) *grins*"

My only question Ms.M is would they be allowed in the mall dressed in nothing but a hat??? *grins back*

After considerable pondering (while laying here on my lounge with Tori in my lap surrounded by my menz, mai tai in hand of course), I decided my choice would have to be "Suit and Tie" guy behind Door #1. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a hot guy dressed in expensive threads.

*sigh* It's such a relief to know that the shopping issue at least will be taken care of by the time I return home later in the week. ;) lol

So ladies, who would be your choice?

A Christmas luau is taking place here tonight and everyone is invited and tomorrow I'm going to be talking about, "Pondering the HEA"......

Birthday babies

This is the month we celebrate those firecracker babies!

Hope you have a fantastic birthday!

We don't usually do this but I wanted to take a moment to thank the men and women fighting for our freedom over seas and at home! Without you there would be no reason to celebrate our independence. Thank you for all that you do! And we thank those families that have loved ones over seas fighting for our freedoms because of your sacrifice we can truly celebrate today! So thank you!
