Let it snow,let it snow, let it snow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Only sound here in the Chicago burbs is of one guy's snowblower attempting to keep up with the snow. At least 20 inches have fallen. Three foot drift over my driveway. Having coffee and waffles and enjoying it for now - lol. Then comes the dig out.
About one thousand drivers got stuck for 5 hours on Lake Shore Drive last night starting at 7 pm. Three accidents and then snow shut it down. The fire dept. had all the drivers bussed out by 2 am. They have just about finished towing all the cars away. Hope the bastards don't bill them for it!Are you listening Mayor?
Many spent the night in shelters and hospitals - now they can't get home,let alone get their cars! Snowmobiles and skiers are going down Michigan Avenue!

Don't stand by my grave and weep, for I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I'm the diamond's glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the the gentle autumn's rain.
Don't stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Tonite was the third wake this week of a childhood friend's parent. Three deaths with in a week. Three lifetimes gone.
After a brisk walk up a cold Chicago street, we stopped at our local favorite hot dog joint - Superdawg!
Many beers flowed at the bar later and out poured names and stories I had not heard in years.Mysteries solved, tales told, lost loves, friends and foes no longer with us.
The years always melt away when I am with this circle of friends. Suddenly, I am 10 years old again. The past rushes by at light speed. 45 fucking years - how?
Out on the street again, walking back to the cars, passing a joint like we did so many years ago.
The oldies music always sounds soooooo good at a time like this.

Is that you wodes?

This has been around before and in my opinion is still accurate, although I have not verified this with SNOPES.



Seems like SNOPES always reports that everything is false, anyhow, so why bother.





Interesting observation made by woman.



INTERESTING

OBSERVATION







1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.





2 The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.





3 The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.







4 The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.






5 The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.

And....




6 The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF.

THE AMAZING CONCLUSION:










The higher you go in the corporate Structure, the smaller your balls become.

A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, 'I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.'

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, 'Come on in.'




When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass.

A man reclining on the couch asked, 'Are you the people that broke my window?'

'Uh...yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that,' the husband replied.

'Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for my self.'

Wow, that's great!' the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, 'I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.'

'No problem,' said the genie 'You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!'

'And now you, young lady, what do you want?' the genie asked.





'I'd like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants,' she said.

'Consider it done,' the genie said. 'And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!'










'And now,' the couple asked in unison, 'what's your wish, genie?'

'Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.'

The husband looked at his wife and said, 'Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?'

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, 'You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?'

You know I love you sweetheart,' said the husband. I'd do the same for you!'


So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other.




The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?'

'Why, we're both 35,' she responded breathlessly.



'No Kidding,' he said.




'Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?'

Have a safe and Merry Christmas!!!
