I just have to tell Y'all what I just got through doing. A couple days ago, I picked (from trees) some cantaloupe sized grapefruit looking things that are as sweet as lemonaid. They are called Ora Blanca's and I just ate one;-) Yummmmmm! | ||

Morning Maryann! :-)) They sound good. I like pink grapefruit, but even then I put a little honey on them to sweeten them up! :-) Have a good day! Grace always, Cindy | ||

Where does the cheer, "Hip,Hip,Hurrah!" come from? "Chillingly, it was originally used as a taunt against Jews in the Middle Ages. In Germany, knights used the cry to break up the religious ceremonies with a cry of, 'Hep! Hep!' an anagram for Hierosolymaest perdita - 'Jerusalem is desroyed.' During the 17th century, the Eastern Europeans added the cry of huraj, 'To paradise,' to the expression. This made it 'Hip, Hip, Hurrah!' in english - meaning 'Jerusalem is lost to the infidel, and we are on the road to Paradise.' No one knows how the expression came to be shouted at various sporting events, school rallies and political conventions, though it has long since lost its religious (or rather, anti-religious) meaning." From th book, Why Do Cowboys Wear High Heels? Not really humor but....a good place to post this. | ||

How many of you have a clothes dryer that gets done just as you are sitting down to eat and requires your attention to shake out the cloths while your meal is getting cold? 9 times out of 10 for me;-((((((( | ||

Wow Maryann, It's amazing where we get these sayings. From here on in, I will NOT use 'hip hip hurrah' again. Who would've thunk it? God Bless you always, DtB, your sister in our Lord Jesus Christ | ||

Speaking of jokes: There was this Muslem, a Christian and a Jew all comparing their Gods with each other. The Christian said: "I was on this little tiny boat, out in the middle of an ocean, when all of a sudden came this storm! This storm was so bad that my little boat was tossing and filling up with water. I knew I was going to die that night. So I prayed to God and all of a sudden the storm stopped and for 10 miles all around me, it was peaceful and I rowed my little boat into a safe shore." The Muslem said, "Oh that's nothing! One time I was out in the middle of the desert when a terrible sand storm came upon me. This storm was so bad that my camel fell with me on it and we were both being covered and smothered by sand. So I knew that I was going to die for sure! So I called out to Alla and for ten miles all around me it was clear and me and my camel traveled back to the village safely." The Jewish man said, "Oh well, you mishugenas! That is nothing! One Sabbath I was in the Bronx, just near the el or subway, when I spotted this paper bag being blown around. I grabbed the bag and looked inside and found thousands upon thousands of dollars inside! Well, I didn't know what to do as it was Sabbath, so I prayed too and all of a sudden, for ten miles all around me, it was Tuesday." | ||
