Left instructions for Tara to make rainbow pad kits. She decided to empty each gallon bottle. I have a lot of little bottles filled. When I found them this AM I didn't know what to do but laugh.

Cheddar the though! Here's my chance to "test market" rainbows in a new format. You get TWO different color sets (ten bottles of ink) to make rainbows. You get 4 uninked RAISED FELT pads two are 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" pads and two are 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" to make your own rainbows! Easy to do with the instructions included. You pick TWO color combinations.

He didn't bring his swimming outfit, but who cared ? He was all alone. So he undressed and got into the water. After some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction. He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket, which laid on the sandy beach. He held the bucket in front of his private parts and sighed with relief. The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He feld awkward and wanted to move. Then one of the ladies said: 'You know , I have a special gift, I can read minds.' 'Impossible', said the embarresed man, ' you really know what I think ?' 'Yes', the lady replied, 'I know that you think that the bucket you're holding has a bottom in it.' ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ------------------------------ From: Stamparoni Date: Thu, 30 Jan 1997 16:33:48 -0600 Subject: Jan.

It is quite embarrassing, and it's downright unfair. My problem, that they took hours to find and through several different operators, supposedly is a bounced check from 1995 at a bank I never banked at! And as far as I know, I don't have any bounced checks on my record. The company that screwed me over was not Equifax, but Telecheck (spelling?). I still haven't straightened it out because I was too busy with holidays, wedding, and honeymoon to bother. But it makes me steaming mad!

A fun source to find them is this site on the web: http://www.starlingtech.com/quotes/ There are several collections there, as well as a search by subject option. I found these about coffee in about a minute. Abraham Lincoln: "If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee." Bob Irwin (birwin@ficc.ferranti.com): "Decaffeinated coffee? Kinda like kissing your sister." Steven Wright: I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time. Have fun!
