JUST FOR FUN!!!

This is an old one............but it probably suits the way most ALBERTAN'S are feeling right now!!!!

Aug 12:
Moved to our new home in ALBERTA. It is so beautiful here...............the landscape is so majestic. Can hardly wait to see it with snow. I love it here!


Oct 14:
ALBERTA is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turned all the colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful country and saw some deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the most wonderful animal on earth. This must be paradise.........I love it here!


Nov 11:
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon............I love it here!


Dec 2:
It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white.................it looked like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and when the snow plow came by, we had to shovel again. What a beautiful place..........I love ALBERTA!


Dec 12:
More snow last night..............I love it! The snow plow did his trick again to the driveway...............I love it here!


Dec 19:
More snow last night, couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. I am exhausted from shoveling...........Damn snow plow!


Dec 22:
More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think the snow plow hides around the curve and waits until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Asshole!


Dec 25:
Merry @*!!@#@! Christmas! More friggin snow. If I ever get my hands on that S.O.B. who drives that snow plow, I swear I'll kill the him! Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the ice.


Dec 27:
More white shit last night. Been inside for 3 days except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow plow goes through! Can't go anywhere............car's stuck in a mountain of the white STUFF.........the weatherman says to expect another 10" of the same shit tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10" is?


Dec 28:
The friggin weatherman was wrong. We got 43" of that white shit this time. At this rate it won't melt before next summer. The snow plow got stuck up the road and thE dirty bugger came to the door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him I had already broke six shovels shoveling all the shit he pushed into the driveway, I broke the last one over his head.


Jan 4:
Finally out of the house today..................went to the store to get food and on the way back a damned deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. Did about $3,000 damage! Those friggin beasts should be shot................wish the hunters would have killed ALL!!!!!!


May 3:
Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusting out from that lousy salt they put all over the road.


May 10:
Moved back South................I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to live in a flippin' FROZEN, SNOW filled province they call ALBERTA!!!!!

A FEW MORE PHOTO'S.........they're not mine!

Special Thanks to Dolci..........all these photos are from and e-mail she sent me........great photography.......check them out!!!

WHAT'S UP THIS WEEK.........

Oh my goodness............first off I need to make a LIST!!! It's going to be a busy one...............and I NEED to stay on track!!! I need to get working on my christmas goodies so they can be deilivered by mid month!

I came across a great company this weekend at the Camrose Spirits of Christmas Craft Sale. I want to share a little info about them..........as I was so impressed! Stay tuned!!!!

OKAY HERE'S THE SCOOP.......
It's a NUT company, yes you read right NUTS!!! They have been around for quite some time(25+years)but I haven't ever heard of them. They have been coming to Camrose Spirits of Christmas craft fair for many years.........and people were literally lined up at the door to get into the hall to buy NUTS! They are VERY seasonal, only operate(sales wise)from Sept. 1st-mid Dec.. All of their sales are either form their website, or a select few shows they attend(2 in Alberta(Airdie & Camrose)and 4 in B.C.). They come to Alberta with two semi trucks packed with nuts, dried fruit, gift trays, etc., etc.. At the end of their season(Camrose was their last show)they donate EVERYTHING to charity groups..........isn't that amazing! WTG!!!!!

Their name is RANCHO VIGNOLA website www.ranchovignola.com

They do fundraisers, and have a wholesale club. If you can get $500 in orders you will save 10-30%, and FREE SHIPPING......considering the weight of NUTS, that is a HUGE savings in itself!!!!

AND

their products are TOP NOTCH..........very fresh, GRADE A I would say!

Well my excitement for this comes from all the Christams goodies I make...........most calling for peanuts, pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, banana chips, etc., etc.. Just need to pick up popcorn, butter, lily white syrup, corn syrup, and I am set and ready to GO!!!!!

OH, and the pistachios.................YUMMY!!!!!

WHAT'S SOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY????

Most of you have already seen these a few times.........they have been around for awhile(I even seen them featured on CNN as a VIDEO OF THE DAY)

Oh my word............these poor little guys are laughing so hard they are almost crying!!!!

If this isn't contagious, I don't know what is!!!

LAUGHTER is the BEST MEDICINE(as my Grandma ALWAYS said!)

Don't forget to GIGGLE!!!!

Yes, I am perfectly fine...............nothing is wrong(but thanks for checking in on me)...........I just had a weak moment(I guess), thought things were pretty boring here at JUST4U & Me!

Nastiness has been(temporarily)put on hold......

beacuse of Lacintha's post on her blog I have been browsing on the CROP FOR KIDS website/blogs!
home page http://www.csc4k.com/index.php
edmonton blog http://www.edmontonscrapbookingcropforkids.com/

Found this.........

Trisha Ladouceur - Edmonton Chair
My name is Trisha Ladouceur and I am co-ordinating the Edmonton chapter of Canada's Crop for Kids in Edmonton, AB, in support of the Stollery Children's Hospital. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Andrew, for 14 years this December and we have 2 wonderful boys, Logan (7) and Carter (6). I have chosen to participate in this event for 2 main reasons. Firstly, I know firsthand what an amazing facility the Stollery Children's Hospital is because Carter has been hospitalized 3 times for respiratory problems. He has RAD (Reactive Airway Disease). Basically, whenever he gets a simple little cold, it can quickly move into his lungs producing asthma-like symptoms making his breathing very difficult. His oxygen has dropped to critical levels but the fast response of the knowledgable staff has gotten him back on track, for which we will be eternally grateful. The top notch care that he has received and the support that we received as parents from their wonderful staff has been second to none. I feel so very fortunate to live in a city where such an awesome facility exists. My second reason for wanting to do this is a bit more personal. Last year I had cancer, and I spent time in the hospital and got to know some parents who had children in the Stollery whose prognosis was not so good. I knew that my cancer was not life threatening but it was serious nonetheless. Well... I was the recipient of my own little miracle. My cancer just literally disappeared! No explanation. I made a promise to pay it forward. I would have gladly endured whatever necessary if it meant that those 2 little boys didn't have to suffer. So this is my way of giving back... I am looking forward to working with all of these wonderful women from across our country to produce the largest scrapbooking event Canada has ever seen!
Should you need to contact me regarding the Edmonton Event or you are willing to help out in any way, please email me at edmonton_canadascropforkids@yahoo.ca.

now Lacintha...........be nice..............no ball bashing...........well maybe not to start with anyway!!!!

I'll be back to deliver as promised........
oh by the way Lacintha please don't hold your breath, I don't want to be responsible for the paramedics having to come to your house!!!!

THINGS ARE GOING TO GET NASTY AROUND HERE...........

consider yourself warned!!!!!

Just when Lacintha decides to BEHAVE, I'm getting NASTY!!!!

STAY TUNED.............trust me it's coming!!!!!

GOOD MORNING.........HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GRAND DAY!!!!!!

if not, I hope this will HELP!!!!!

Why do women(and men)call woman guys?

**EDITED** Please note this is NOT directed at ANYONE.......simply an observation!!!!

This has become a pet peeve of mine over the last couple of years...................I guess it's the hip/cool thing to say......but it just erks me!!! If we don't want to be called women/ladies why don't we say gals, but please NOT guys!!!!!

A couple of years back Betty & Randy, my Mom & myself were out for supper and the waitress comes over and says something like........"sir would you like some water"? She moves on to us ladies/woman/girls(whatever we are)and says, "and would you guys like some"?? WHAT!!!!!! Do we look like guys, I hope not? The funny part was Randy proceeds to ask the waitress if we looked like guys? He wasn't rude, just asked her..............but I think she was kind of caught off gaurd!!! Ever since then(thanks Randy for bringing it to my attention)I notice it ALL THE TIME!!!!! Guess it's kind of like the HEY thing.................does anyone say HELLO/HI anymore????

Maybe it's a Canadian thing...............a few samples just for fun!!!
Come on you guys lets get scrappin!
Did you guys see that new Basic Grey line?
How about it guys............are you up for a swap????

TEST FOR THE DAY!

This illustrates how dependant we have become on our computers..........

Are you male or female?
For the answer, look down!!!
