Steel-Toed

You Are Cowboy Boots

You are incredibly down to earth and happy with yourself. You don't pretend to be someone else. You also tend to be very practical. You don't really have a lot of room for fluff in your life. You are a very honest and direct person. You will give anyone a straight answer, even if it's a bit uncomfortable. While you're quite sensible, you always like a little bit of flash in your life. You don't overdo it, but you do like turning heads.

What Kind of Boots Are You?

---

I've owned one pair of cowboys boots in my life and they were steel-toed. I ordered them through a company I worked for at the time and for some reason, they were a size too small. I couldn't send them back, so I wore them...for a very short while.

To this day my toes ache when I see a pair of cowboys boots. Since I live in the Texas Panhandle, my tootsies ache pretty much all the time.

There were several versions of this song on YouTube, but I like this one because it's got nice, shapely legs in the boots. On the other hand, it's a little disconcerting to think those same legs are grandma...or even great-grandma...legs these days. Oh well, I'm gettin' to the age where varicose veins and wrinkles are starting to be sexy to me.

Good afternoon or evening, depending on that time of day when you receive this letter.

I looked your questionnaire and to tell the truth you have very much drawn my attention. I shall be glad, if we shall get acquainted to you. to me, I the single girl who wants to find the prince.

My name Svetlana. To me of 28 years, and I am still single in this big world. If you as single the man, and to you from 30 till 55 years I shall be glad to contact you. Probably it is our destiny?

If you were interested with my offer on acquaintance I shall wait your answer, on my personal E-mail: svetulka80@yahoo.de

I hope, that you will not ignore me. I shall wait your answer.

Yours faithfully
Svetlana.



Dear Svetlana,

You're trying to tell me you can't find a man in all of Russia? I guess I can sympathize because I've been told I can't find a woman in this hemisphere.

So, you can't find a prince, eh? Ever try kissing frogs? It might be your destiny to find a prince or it might be your destiny to get warts, who knows?

Always,
Mike

P.S. Next time you write, put in some funnier stuff so I can have an easier time making fun of it. (Your fractured English just isn't enough) Rest assured, however, that I will never ignore them.

Just to let you know, I post these mails so I can let the spambots pick up on your email addy as well as the one the email really came from.

diatribe

diatribe \DAHY-uh-trahyb\, noun:
a bitter verbal attack or speech

---

I see diatribes all over the 'net these days; oh, I've seen them before, but not nearly as much as now. They're not verbal (unless they're on YouTube) but I think the term still applies to these posted rants.

I don't join in on them much these days...blood pressure, you see.

Easter Bunny Letters

Free letter from the Easter Bunny

Fill out the form, personalizing it with your child's name and other information and you'll receive a letter you can print out.

Here's a sample I made for myself:

Dear Mike,

Hi, and Happy Easter! Things are very busy here in our village. Some of the younger rabbits just finished learning how to decorate eggs. The hens are laying extra eggs so that we will have enough for everyone who has been good. As far as the candy makers, they are all working overtime! Soon, I will be ready to hop over to Pampa!

Are you getting ready to celebrate Easter? Are you friends ready to celebrate, too? I'll bet you are really looking forward to finding all the treats I leave. I see that you would like chocolate Easter bunnies. I will try my best to bring some, along with a basket of goodies for you and the rest of your family.

I love this time of year, because Spring is here! Soon the flowers will start to grow, baby animals will be born, and the weather will be just right for an Easter Egg Hunt. Do you like Easter Egg Hunts? I bet that you find lots of eggs this year, because the chickens are really working hard!

Well, I better go for now. The hens are making a lot of noise and I have to see who is bothering them. Remember to be extra good for BJ Katt, because I have to hop right past houses that have naughty children! I hope your house is one of those that stays on my list. Have a Hoppy Easter!!

Love,

The Easter Bunny

P.S. Don't forget to leave me a carrot or some lettuce--I can get very hungry making my rounds!!
