Makes you think!

Here are a few...Make-ya-Think's. Gave me a few chuckles so I thought I would pass them on! Thanks Thena for posting them on 2Peas tonight!

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?

Why does your nose run and your feet smell? Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing?

Why is it called a "building" when it is already built?

Why do they call them "apartments" when they are all stuck together?

Why is the word "abbreviate" so long?

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

What is another word for "thesaurus?"

Why do we sing "take me out to the ball game", when we are already there?

Why are they called "stands" when they're made for sitting?

Why is there only "one" Monopolies Commission?

Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a "near miss?" Shouldn't it be called a "near hit?"

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

When it rains, why don't sheep shrink?

If "con" is the opposite of "pro," is Congress the opposite of progress?

Why do they lock gas station bathrooms, are they afraid someone might clean them?

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

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

Whose cruel idea was it to put an "s" in the word lisp?

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

Isn't it a bit unraveling that what doctors and lawyers call what they do "practice?"

Is there a Fedaral agency you're supposed to call if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

If a turtle looses it's shell is it homeless or naked?

How do they get deer to cross the roads at those yellow signs?


Maddelyn is getting so excited for her birthday! Everyday we have this battle of trying to convice her "Today is not your birthday...it's Saturday." Let's just say I hope after Saturday she will stop asking if it is her birthday! She has been on this since her Dad's birthday Feb. 13th! I finally got her to leave it be by telling her that when the snow went away...it gets warm outside...and the flowers come up out of the ground it will be almost your birthday. Well today it was almost 60, and we say flowers in the landscaping of the post office. So...she thought TODAY WAS THE DAY! We were in Walmart and she actually got mad at me for not stopping by the bakery to pick up a cake! LOL! I told her you will get a cake, I promise...but ON your birthday! WHEW! The energy...determination of an almost three year old!


I finished a custom order project today. It is a altered journal for an 11 year old girl! I hope she likes it! If I were a journal kinda person I might just have had to make me one ot match! This was the first time I have used Heidi Swapp fuzzy rub-ons and I love them! Should have known, ANOTHER great product by Heidi! GREAT designer!
Just wanted to say a HUGE "Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you....Happy Birthday dear Alicia Burns...Happy Birthday to you!" Lots of love Sweetie! Wish we could have been there!
