Someone mentioned windmill cookies...my Italian grandmother served me my first when I was young...

It was me.  My grandmothers were Danish and German and I think both countries probably still have windmills in use particularly in rural areas.  Thank you so much for the lovely picture.  I love those cookies.

Well, I feel better now.  Knowing there are so many other monkeys with these premonition type happenings.  I am glad I didn't take the cat.  I knew if anyone would understand me...the monkeys would.  Thanks for listening.

Now, where do I find some of those cookies...I need some to go with my coffee this morning?

******* and Sharon...It's been a really good year to be a Cleveland fan of any sort! Cavs, Indians and Browns all gave us plenty of excitement.

Don't mind that the Browns didn't make the playoffs, as they still have a little way to go! Can't wait for next year to see who the starting QB will be! Hopefully they will unload a couple of players that they haven't got their monies worth from, if they possibly can. It's been the 'Sons of the Cardiac Kids' this season and fun to watch!

Only sour note was LeBron wearing his stupid Yankees cap (Sorry San and 2NJs, the Yankees aren't stupid, LeBron is)to the ballpark! Even ESPN said that's why the fans in Cleveland booed him last week! Born and raised 30 minutes down the freeway and he does that! I don't think he'll be here much longer, but that's life in the NBA!

Hi MUM,

Yes,Your Brown's and Indians will be back next year in contention for sure. Tons of young talent and we should see Brady Quinn take the realm,I forsee the Browns being the team to be reckoned with in that division for years to come.

I have been a Vikings and Cubs Fan all my life,Dont ask me why I guess I'll stick with them forever,it may take that long before either of them ever wins a championship

Oldfart I found mine when I went to clean my disc and when I said OK it started to take forever and added a heap to what I had OK'd. I cancelled and started looking around and found that file.

Sometimes when I go to disc cleanup it says there is nothing there in the temporary files and when I click view files it's right there. It's marked DAT file and if I look in the bottom left of my screen it says IE 5 contents hidden. Well I don't have IE 5 On this computer. It's pretty new.

Not sure what I'll do, as all the new ones have Vista, and I don't know how many new tricks this old dog can learn!

Look for them in the grocery section of your local store. They might have them. They are deliciousss. Almonds on top, and a good buttery flavor. Haven't had them in a few years, now I want one

Hmm.  I wonder what Elaine has up under her beehive hairdo?  I guess you could hide things in there...   The cat's eye glasses are very cool...

Whew!  I have had one heck of a day. To preface from my weird question yesterday about the premonition.  Sorry I didn't get back last night, but that is a different story all together...I think.

Yesterday morning at 5:20 AM I woke up from a sound sleep.  I was actually dreaming a very pleasant dream, but as Tylergal said...maybe I shouldn't tell it so I will continue. My daughter's new cat was scheduled to be neutered yesterday at the vet.  She had been gone most of the week and I was cat sitting for her.  I was to take Miley to the vet and she would swing by that afternoon and pick him up and they would head home and be happy for the night. But something woke me up at 5:20 in the morning and this voice...not a real one that you could hear, but something said to me, "You can't take that  cat to the vet.  If something happened to that cat daughter would never forgive you."  Now, I have had many cats and dogs and always used this vet.  That is why she insisted he go there.  After this rude awakening, I thought to my self, you are nuts!  Go back to bed and get some sleep before you have to take the cat.  Not to happen...I lay back down, still planning to take the cat, when suddenly I became sick to my stomach.  I had to get up and thought I really was sick.  As sick as I felt I had this unexplainable feeling wash over me that said again..."Do not get in the car with that cat. If you do and something happens to him daughter will never forgive you."  I felt awful, I thought this is crazy, but I was beginning to wonder.  This feeling was so intense that I could not shake it.  I was awake for over an hour...sick at my stomach and worrying about the cat. I even looked in on him and he was sleeping soundly. Well, needless to say I got the message...I decided around 7 AM to just reschedule and as soon as I made up my mind the nausea left me.  Yes, I know, now go ahead and laugh but I swear that was the most intense feeling I have ever had like that.  I called the vet and canceled the appointment.  I just felt that I could not take the chance.  That cat is my daughter's baby and she would be devastated if something had happened.  I even went back to sleep after that and felt no effects when I woke up a few hours later.  So there is my story and it's true...believe it or not...it is fact.

One thing left to tell...my daughter called about 9:30 and I told her I didn't take the cat and she said, "Oh thank goodness, I woke up this morning about 5 and was so sick I couldn't stand it.  All I could think about was something was going to happen to my cat.  I should be the one to take him.  I was calling as soon as I could because I felt so strongly about this."

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  Weird!

you gave me goosebumps!!
