My life is funny. Is everyone's life funny?
Ok, where's my praise for resizing and replacing the pics? I don't feel the love. It took me a half hour. (Only because I'm relatively new at the technolology, but still.)

Ahahahaaaaaaaa! I just turned on Saturday Night Live in time to hear Will Ferrell singing the end of "On a Clear Day".
I wonder if Mom told him to.  "When in doubt, tell the truth."

Interesting phenomenon. My screename is/has been a nickname of mine for a long time. This is the only public board on which I post and I post on one other private board. Everyone eventually always shortens it to "quirk", or Q...even though that's Quincy Jones or James Bond's gadget guy. I wonder why that happens? I answer to anything though.
Thanks for satiating my inner diva there, Juliette. "When in doubt, tell the truth."

ANOTHER MOUSE STORY
When we lived in an old schoolhouse, everyone was around and
going about their business when suddenly someone spotted a mouse. 
We usually had the neighbor kids over too.  Everyone screaming trying
to get out of the way of the mouse someone going for a broom, some on top of the couch, my eldest daughter was stepping back out of the way when suddenly she stepped back onto the mouse when the mouse was running to escape all the screams. Of course, it was dead, we all "and felt sorry for the mouse"  but realized what an ironic thing to happen. 
Isn't humor ironic!
I believe I have decided that there is a mouse theme to my life.
Before my father had his ill-fated surgery, my brother had redone their kitchen in Maryland. The house was civil war era, and had a FEW mice before, but it was pretty tight. Just after he died, it was my mother and me alone in the house waiting for everyone to arrive for the funeral. One of my brothers had there the night before and we saw a mouse jump into the toaster...so he grabbed it and ran outside with it. Later, I walked into the kitchen and saw two mice run and dive behind the sink. New cabinetry had been put in and there was a gaping hole between the sink and the window. Mouse heaven, but EWWW...no mice on the counters, please! I was so tired, I just set four mousetraps with peanut butter on the counter. The next morning...all FOUR traps had dead mice in them. It was a moussacre! So I resigned myself to going to Lowe's and trying to find something to plug the hole. I couldn't find anyone to help me, but I wound up getting this spray foam that hardens and I just sprayed the heck out of the gap and then bleached all the surfaces. Ewww...but it worked. I'm sure the mice eventually gnawed through the spray foam, but I was long gone. "When in doubt, tell the truth."

another rodent story................ It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and i was walking through the grounds of the Catholic cathedral in Aberdeen when i saw a poor little furry thing quivering on the pavement.........dropping to my knees i began talking to it(as you do...  ).....'oh you poor wee thing, you're not well'......it was little and gerbil like but it had a brown furry tail so assumed it was some rare and protected doormouse or something close......
i contemplated taking it home but i didn't have anything to put it in.....at that moment a couple walked past and i joked that i was about to 'save a rat'.......they just laughed but didn't correct me.... so i 'shoogled' it into the bushes with a stick then went home........... the following week in glasgow i was telling my boyfriend when we saw seagulls attacking an identical creature........i was all for saving it until it was pointed out that it was actually a brown disease ridden RAT..... Ok ....still with me......lol..............when i got back to school on the monday i told the kids but little did i know they were going to pick that story as one of the more memorable school stories...and present it to the entire school and their parents at the leavers assembly................ Miss West and the rat is now school history...........
