Well the night that hubby & I spent alone was fun. But listening to the stories that the boys had when they came back from the football game was absolutely fun. Here are a couple of pics of the indoor stadium. It seems that this will make a big hit around here.

This hasn't been sent here to this address in VR but was sent ot my AOL email addy. Thought that I would post it for knowledge



Subject: Jury Duty Scam...please pass on to others...

(SNOPES VERIFIED . . . see below!)







Jury Duty Scam DO NOT DELETE WITHOUT READING !



This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.



The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.



The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma , Illinois , and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

As most of my friends on here know and anyone that reads my profile, I was attending the University of Phoenix for an Associates degree in Business........ Well here is a pic of the degree just my way of showing how proud I am of myself. Come 2011 there will be another one for a Bachelors in Business as well.

"Vampire" unearthed in Venice plague grave



Delicious Digg Facebook Fark Newsvine Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati

By Daniel Flynn ROME (Reuters) -



Italian researchers believe they have found the remains of a female "vampire" in Venice, buried with a brick jammed between her jaws to prevent her feeding on victims of a plague which swept the city in the 16th century. Daniel Flynn Rome (reuters) - Italian Researchers Believe They Have Found The Remains Of A Female "vampire" In Venice, Buried With A Brick Jammed Between Her Jaws To Prevent Her Feeding On Victims Of A Plague Which Swept The City In The 16th Century. – Thu Mar 12, 1:19 pm ETMatteo Borrini, an anthropologist from the University of Florence, said the discovery on the small island of Lazzaretto Nuovo in the Venice lagoon supported the medieval belief that vampires were behind the spread of plagues like the Black Death.



"This is the first time that archaeology has succeeded in reconstructing the ritual of exorcism of a vampire," Borrini told Reuters by telephone. "This helps ... authenticate how the myth of vampires was born."



The skeleton was unearthed in a mass grave from the Venetian plague of 1576 -- in which the artist Titian died -- on Lazzaretto Nuovo, which lies around three km (2 miles) northeast of Venice and was used as a sanitorium for plague sufferers.



The succession of plagues which ravaged Europe between 1300 and 1700 fostered the belief in vampires, mainly because the decomposition of corpses was not well understood, Borrini said.



Gravediggers reopening mass graves would sometimes come across bodies bloated by gas, with hair still growing, and blood seeping from their mouths and believe them to be still alive.



The shrouds used to cover the faces of the dead were often decayed by bacteria in the mouth, revealing the corpse's teeth, and vampires became known as "shroud-eaters."



According to medieval medical and religious texts, the "undead" were believed to spread pestilence in order to suck the remaining life from corpses until they acquired the strength to return to the streets again.



"To kill the vampire you had to remove the shroud from its mouth, which was its food like the milk of a child, and put something uneatable in there," said Borrini. "It's possible that other corpses have been found with bricks in their mouths, but this is the first time the ritual has been recognized."



While legends about blood-drinking ghouls date back thousands of years, the modern figure of the vampire was encapsulated in the Irish author Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula," based on 18th century eastern European folktales.

Well lets see things have been really interesting since school started back last week. I made it through the first week but the next ones are going to be fun. Learning teams is the new thing with the bachelors degree at the university. I am in a group along with 4 other people, from across the US which is going to make it fun to talk with each at the same time because it has to be where the teacher can help resolve any issues. (ah the joy of online educations).....

Some of you have probably seen this one before but still thought that it was worthy of posting



Just a few things to ponder

in your spare time . . .



If people can have triplets and quadruplets why not singlets and doublets?



Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.



One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.



Atheism is a non-prophet organization.



If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?



The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.



I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.



Could it be that all those trick-or-treaters wearing sheets aren't going as ghosts but as mattresses?



If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?



If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?



If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?



Is there another word for synonym?



Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?



Where do forest rangers go "to get away from it all"?



What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?



If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?



Would a fly without wings be called a walk?



Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?



If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?



Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?



Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?



If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?



Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?



How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?



Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?



Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
