Greetings and Blessings from the Love Nest! 
Until recently, we had several of Patrick's family members living with us. They have all left the nest and it is now just the two of us and our beloved beagle Maxie. We tried having other pets, but it didn't work out very well. Maxie prefers being an only child and getting all the attention.
We've had a few roommates over the years, but that didn't work out any better than the extra pets did! LOL
We will update this very soon and let you know how work is progressing on the garage project.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
BIG HUGS! |

| Dr. Phil gave this test on Oprah she got a 38. Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out.
Read on, this is very interesting! Don't be overly sensitive!
The following is pretty accurate. And it only takes 2 minutes.
Take this test for yourself and send it to your friends, the
one who sent it, and let them know who you are.
The person who sent it placed their score in the subject
box. Please do the same before forwarding to your friends. Don't peek but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now, not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees.
It's only 10 simple questions, so...... grab a pencil and
paper, keeping track of your letter answers. Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read YOUR total. When you are finished, forward this to everyone you

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care".
You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and
adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an
adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively,
charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly
in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to
their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.
Now forward this to others, and put your score in subject box. | | |
| Do you ever wonder why there are so many lawyer jokes?
And do your wonder where do we get the morons for
juries and judges?
Ever since a jury ordered McDonald's to pay more than
$2m in damages to 81-year-old Stella Liebeeck after
she spilled coffee and scalded herself, the "Stella"
award has been annually granted to the person who
successfully brings the most ridiculous lawsuit in the
US.
There are plenty to choose from in 2001.
*Carl Truman, of Los Angeles, won $74,000 and medical expenses from a neighbour who drove his car over Truman's hand. Truman was lying on the ground, out of sight, stealing the neighbour's hubcaps.
*Burglar Terrence Dickson, from Pennsylvania, lived
for eight days on Pepsi and dry dog biscuits after a
faulty electric door trapped him in the garage of the
home he had just robbed. The homeowner was ordered to pay $500,000 for Dickson's mental anguish.
*Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded
$14,500 after being bitten by a beagle chained in its
owner's yard. Williams had climbed into the yard and
was shooting the beagle with a pellet gun.
*A Philadelphia restaurant had to pay $113,500 to
Amber Carson after she injured herself by slipping on
a can she had thrown on the floor during an argument
with her boyfriend.
And, la piece de resistance...
*Kara Walton, of Delaware, won $12,000 and dental
expenses from a nightclub after falling from a
bathroom window. The accident happened as she was
trying to climb through the window to avoid paying the $3.50 entrance fee." | | |

attend
myself, as I'll be out of town for a seminar all weekend. But come on
out
and join the fun...you will have a great time!
Sincerely yours,
Buck
P.S. -- I stated in the last Men's Club e-mail that I'm planning to
move to
Montana and am no longer able to plan events for the Club. If this Club
is
to continue, someone will need to step forward and take over, otherwise
this will be the last event we will have. Anyone interested should
contact
me as soon as possible at buck@mrbuck.net or (972) 355-3256. Thanks!
