The meaning of love comes in many different ways,

The words I love you comes from your heart I would say.

A gift from love comes from feelings is another way,

Giving with feelings normally on a special day.

Sometimes in life that love does get lost I can see,

I need this, I want that, I deserve that if you Love me.

As time moves on with sharing of love you know,

You end up buying love, so your loved one won't go.

But what do I know how love should be,

I lost my true love when she left me.

you crack me up! finding your blog was one of the treats of 2005 :) happy holidays!

I'm still laughing at the Halloween wrapping paper for the Christmas presents. It's sort of the anti-retail approach -- staring Halloween at Christmas instead of the other way around. Cheers!

After watching sales falling off for three straight months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel calls up the Pope and asks for a favor.

The Pope says, "What can I do?" The Colonel says, "I need you to change the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken'. If you do it, I'll donate 10 Million Dollars to the Vatican."

The Pope replies, "I am sorry. That is the Lord's prayer and I can not change the words."

So the Colonel hangs up. After another month of dismal sales, the Colonel panics, and calls again.

"Listen your Excellency. I really need your help. I'll give you $50 million dollars if you change the words of the daily prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'"

And the Pope responds, "It is very tempting, Colonel Sanders. The church could do a lot of good with that much money. It would help us support many charities. But, again, I must decline. It is the Lord's prayer, and I can't change the words."

So the Colonel gives up again. After two more months of terrible sales. the Colonel gets desperate.

"This is my final offer, your Excellency. If you change the words of the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken', I will donate $100 million to the Vatican."

The Pope replies, "Let me get back to you."

So the next day, the Pope calls together all of his bishops and he says, "I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that KFC is going to donate $100 million to the Vatican."

The bishops rejoice at the news. Then one asks about the bad news.

The Pope replies, "The bad news is that we lost the Wonder Bread account."

How is Colonel Sanders like the typical male?

All they are concerned with are legs, breasts and thighs.

Egad! Where did you find this gem?

Sniff! Memorabilia from back home! Now I'm craving spicy hot wings.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, JODI! :-)
