" The Pee Whisperer "
Yes, from hence on out- I shall be known as "The Pee Whisperer ". I know your thinking.. Ok, what is she smoking? Here's the thing. I spoke to three people the other day, and all of them made a point to tell me "sorry I'm peeing", while on the phone with me. Now, you might think that that would be something just girls would tell someone.. naaa. not true. I found it funny that not only would they actually tell me they where peeing, but that all of them did ! Humm, there may be something to this. I could just call up people that have peeing issues ( whatever they may be ) and charge a fee to get them to pee. Wow ! What a catchy slogan ! I think I have just had a million dollar idea.. Ok, maybe not a million dollar idea.

They tried to grab him, but he managed to escape into a residential neighborhood and they lost him," Van der Veen said. Police hunted for the man in the neighborhood but could not find him.

Are you kidding me? Geez at least stalk him or something !!! Don't call 911 !! Pay for someone to dress like a cop- order your very own cute deputy-Woman Calls 911 Seeking 'Cutie Pie' Deputy
Washington County Sheriffs Office Lorna Jeanne Dudash got her wish when she called 911 to get a "cutie pie" deputy sent back to her home. He returned -- to arrest her. A woman who called 911 to get "the cutest cop I've seen" sent back to her home got a date all right - a court date.
The same sheriff's deputy arrested her on charges of misuse of the emergency dispatch system.
Washington County Sheriff's Sgt. David Thompson told KGW-TV of Portland it all started with a noise complaint called in last month by neighbors of Lorna Jeanne Dudash. The deputy sent to check on the complaint knocked on her door, then left.
Thompson said Dudash then called 911, asking that the "cutie pie" deputy return.
"He's the cutest cop I've seen in a long time. I just want to know his name," Dudash told the dispatcher. "Heck, it doesn't come very often a good-looking man comes to your doorstep."
After listening to some more, followed by a bit of silence, the dispatcher asked again why Dudash needed the deputy to return.
"Honey, I'm just going to be honest with you, OK? I just thought he was cute. I'm 45 years old and I'd just like to meet him again, but I don't know how to go about doing that without calling 911," she said.
"Honey, I'm just going to be honest with you, OK? I just thought he was cute."-- Lorna Jeanne Dudash to 911 dispatcher
"I know this is absolutely not in any way, shape or form an emergency, but if you would give the officer my phone number and ask him to come back, would you mind?"
The deputy returned, verified that there was no emergency and arrested her for misusing the 911 system, an offense punishable by a fine of up to several thousand dollars and a year in jail.
Thompson said Thursday it was the first case he knew of in which someone called the emergency line for such a personal reason.
"That's taking up valuable time from dispatchers who could be taking true emergency calls," he said.

Damn I'm old !
Its probably the cure for many illnesses.. Who knows...
Bird Droppings Survive Space Launch.
Bird droppings on shuttle Discovery's right wing edge appear to have survived launch, orbit HOUSTON, Jul. 5, 2006
NASA's rocket scientists have a new appreciation for the out-of-this-world power of bird droppings. The orbiting space shuttle Discovery sported some whitish splotches on its black right wing edge that NASA officials said appeared to be bird droppings.Shuttle lead flight director Tony Ceccacci said he saw the same splotches on the identical part of the shuttle about three weeks ago when Discovery was on the launch pad and laughed when pictures beamed back from space Wednesday showed they were still there.That means these bird droppings withstood regular Florida thunderstorms, a mighty Fourth of July launch during which 300,000 gallons of water is sprayed at the shuttle's main engines, and a burst upward through Earth's atmosphere. During that launch Discovery went from zero to 17,500 mph in just under 9 minutes.And still the bird droppings remained in place. Mostly.Some of the droppings may have shaken off during liftoff, Ceccacci guessed. He figures the rest will burn up during landing, when the shuttle's edges get as hot as 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.Rob Fergus, science coordinator for Audubon At Home, a division of the National Audubon Society, sometimes gets calls from people asking how to remove bird excrement from their cars."Usually they can hose it off," he said. "Apparently that doesn't work with the space shuttle. Maybe they need a bigger hose."
I opened my instant messenger this morning, and read a link my sister had sent me. All the while thinking I need to post about the 4th. I need to say thanks again to the countless men and women who protect me everyday. I need to post about how grateful I am that so many families sacrifice for us in so many countless ways. I need to say thank you for hearing firecrackers in the middle of the nite- and like in so many other countries not having to run for cover. Hell- war heads where launched my North Korea yesterday- and we didn't even flinch ! Why? Because we don't have to-I wanted to say thanks- Instead after opening this link, I couldn't write anything that compares to the emotion the these pictures brought to me. Honestly, I was moved to tears. Please turn the volume up- open this link - watch it- and take one moment out of your day to be PROUD and say THANKS to OUR brothers and sisters fighting to keep us safe. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July.Here is the link-http://www.clermontyellow.accountsupport.com/flash/UntilThen.swf
