Okay, I am just feeling silly and besides we need a laugh now and then (specially round here!) so I'm starting the PTO Lifer's Blues Band. Please feel free to add your own verses...

Okay, the more off-key you sing the better!!

:cool: :cool: :cool:
Got them ol' lifah blues
Oh,they hurts me right down to my shoes
He's a-settin over there in Lancaster
Cain't the dang mail go any faster?
I got them ollllllll' lifah blues

Got them ol' lifah blues
You bring in every last quarter to use
Then the vendin' machine runs dry
Makes you want to lay down and cry
Got them ol' lifah blues

Got them ol' lifah blues
When you think you got nothin to lose
So you tryin' to sneak a little kiss
Then the CO say "It's your last visit, Miss!"
Got them ollllllllllllll' lifah blues

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Well...I laughed out loud! My son says "what?" I said "I am singin them ol' lifah blues!"

How bout the "At least i dont have to" game...

>I dont have to put the toilet seat down.
>dont have to worry bout cooking!
>dont have to share my precious bed space.
>dont have to do his laundry.
>dont have to call if i am going to be late.
>dont have to ever say..."would you mind if i..." or "how would you feel if i..." can do what i want!
>dont have to talk to him if i am crabby!

Gotta look at the positives!!!

Dawn

Hey that's right!! Especially "don't have to do his laundry!" Now I'm laughing.. :D

Couple more singers and we can hit the road, start touring...

I can definately add to the dont have to list :D

I dont have to jump up in the morning to brush my teeth
I dont have to worry about how I look around the house w/o makeup
I dont have to worry how LOUD i'm snoring!!!!
and the BEST one I get to watch ALL the chick flix on the TV :thumbsup:

I Love it!! too funny i am smiling at the computer like i am crazy well i am.. but

Donna

ps.. and my kitties don't have to get off the bed@

D

blueeyes...good ones! I can relate to the brushing of the teeth and the snoring!!!

donna...my cat...she loves to lay on his leters, like she can feel his energy or something. Jerry said "There will be no throwing the cat on my chest to wake me up...when i get home!" Too funny how we can relate to each other and it feels like a big hug!

Dawn

I love the visit behind glass line!!!!!!!! LOL :D my cat also sleeps on my head...

Now waiting for penwife to add the chocolate ice cream verses (hint, hint) ;)

I can pass gas without feeling bad about it, babbbbeeeeee
and I can sob my heart out reading the latest romance novel without being teased.
no one changes the channel when I watch GHOST for the 10,000 th time
and the fudge is ALL mine :thumbsup:

Dawn, Brian has said to me, Donna I don't really like cats, however : i would love yours!! awwwhwhhhhhhh:) theres a rule.. if your nice to my cats.. your welcome in my home.. pet lovers only.. allowed.

mrs dragon too funny i wanted to say that .. too.. passing gas. and burping out loud after drinking diet coke.. always does it to me!! LMAO

have you checked out our new band.. if not .. go to the "bluz girls for lifers">>>:)) we are going for a cd real soon!!

Donna

OMG Dawn what is it with cats and pads of paper?? I always lay in the bed and write and it never fails Polly (my cat) comes and plops her butt right in the middle of the pad!! Joe always tells me its her way of telling HIM hi :D
Mrs. Dragon those are great ones!!!!! but i think i MAY have you beat in the amount of times i have watched GHOST!!! hahaha cant pass up a good tear jerker.

Ok...I thought of another one while i was at work tonight. I can sit on the computer and obsessively read and reply to PTO posts all day and not feel like i have to be giving him attention! I know in 4 hours he will be getting up to eat...i will be sound asleep!
I dont watch tv so i cant relate to the others...but that cat thing is cool huh? Jerry wrote a story once about us having a fight. He threw my cat out the window and i left him! LOL Its a classic! I read the letters from years ago when I first got Iris, he would tease me and call her 'Hairball' or whatever creative thing he could think of ot tease me bout my cat, now he has pictures of her in his cell! Go figure huh? If nothing else, they sure do learn whats important in life...OUR CATS!

Dawn

I got them ol lifah bluz too!!! You guys sing...I'll play the sax!! My sister works for a publisher...maybe we could cut a demo!! LMAO!!!

how hilarious is this about the cat thing...my cat sits right on my paper too when I write Ronnie, when she does things like that and is mischievious she is HIS cat, when she's cute and cuddly she's MINE!!! LOL

LOVE TO ALL
~Amber

Cool, I was *hoping* a sax player would come forward... isn't it interesting we all have cats?
