TRUE STORY

My sister never had a gun, never wanted a gun.

BUT, this is what her husband gave her for Christmas the first year they were married. A rifle and lessons on how to shoot it.

I can’t think of a funny caption that would be printable.

Ann - still rolling her eyes at the memory.

My word verification is age41. That was a looonnnggg time ago!!!!!!!

Good Morning Squawkers:

I don’t have a photo caption, but I do have a little problem/complaint:  I am a registered user of this site and I do have a working email address.  I know this because I get all your announcements.....twice.  That’s right, it is still happening.  Ever since the transition from old format to new format, any announcements sent, I get double.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I wrote about it a while back when it first happened and I think it was Christina who told me it was a problem and that it was being repaired....but still happening.  In fact got Eloisa’s announcement on 10-31-06 about Anne Stuarts’s visit twice.  I’m getting used to it; read one and delete the other.

Is something being done about this?  OK rant over and thanks for listening.

"You mean you’ll give me this terrific 12 gauge just for opening an account at your bank?”

BTW, where do these verification codes come from?  Can you believe my code for this post is ‘police69’? Hmmmmm.....maybe I should rethink this caption....nah!!!

I know you meant “Friday”, but when I first read it… I did think… “What’s a Frida?  Frida Kahlo?”

Pick me!  Pick me!  Today is my birthday, and I didn’t win a copy of Cold as Ice, so I’m consoling myself with my children’s Halloween candy.  Okay, I’d be eating the candy anyway, but now I have an excuse.

Hmm, come to think of it, my caption should read, “This’ll keep your mom away from your chocolate.”

Yes, Sarah, Frida is the secret member of our little group here ... actually, Connie doesn’t know the meaning of the words “spell check.”

Karen H, Up until now, we’ve had the old membership addresses working from the old Squawk and the new ones from our shiny new site. Now we’re cutting off the old ones (hence the membership drive), so you’ll only get one letter.

Happy Birthday Rachel!  I’ve been stealing the kids’ halloween chocolate too, but I don’t have an excuse for it… I just take it!

My birthday is tomorrow, the day of the first day of the draw, wouldn’t be nice to win?  It might just be the ONLY present I get.

Can’t count on my husband, he’s not worth crap when it comes time to give gifts.  I didn’t even get a dang card for our last anniversary—I mean, it’s the least a guy can do for his wife dontcha think?  Hey, I’m not asking for much am I?

Oh, and my word verification is HAND33!  I’m become convinced these are subliminal messages…

Happy Birthday (tomorrow) Froggie!  I have a sister who shares your birthday.

I helped my husband with my gift this year.  I bought the gift for him.  Then helped him install it (an instant hot water tap for the kitchen sink).  I’ve given up on hoping he’ll guess what I want, or think of something to surprise me, and just accepted the fact that (usually) I’m better at giving gifts than he is.  At least this way I get what I want.  And I LOVE my gift this year.

---------Sign Up List-------

I signed up (old and new lists) and I get Connie’s notices, but I didn’t get Eloisa’s notice about Anne Stuart being here.  I stop by everyday, but would still like to get the advance warnings .. errr I mean notices smile

---------Captions-----------
I think I’ll go with Theresa’s picture of Clive.  “All clear now, baby.  Let’s go home and get outta these wet clothes.”

"You want to see the whole steely length of this?”

And if Clive were asking, my answer would unequivocally be “yuh huh”!

I’m sorry Connie, but I can’t see your picture.  It looks like the guy holding the gun is holding up a butcher shop...even with my glasses on.  He must really want bologna. 

BTW, I loved the Hot Dish review and your interview on Romance buy the book.

Good morning, Janelle!  We’re off to the Southern Magic Reader’s Luncheon in Birmingham, Alabama today.  (Well, actually the luncheon is tomorrow but we’re leaving today.)

So I have to vacuum, pack, go visit my mom in the nursing home, etc., and all by 12 PM when we’re leaving!  Actually, I would have liked to sleep later but my cat Buffy jumped up on my dresser at 5:15 a.m. and starting biting my jewelry.  Wicked cat!  When the time changed last week, somebody forgot to reset the cats.
