Luckily my husband isn't bothered by this but I've had friends whose husbands thought it was just too "sissy". Makes you wonder how society and our culture in general would be different if both boys and girls were encouraged to play at all these very important roles they might have in life.

But one day the officer found the problem: a 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand painted sign which said "RADAR TRAP AHEAD." A little more investigative work led the officer to the boy's accomplice, another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar trap with a sign reading TIPS" and a bucket at his feet, full of change. ------------------------------------------------------------- The woman in question, a cute blonde as it happens, was pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his ticket book she said: "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolmen's Ball." He replied, "No, highway patrolmen don't have balls." There followed a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd said. He then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car for several minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------- A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40, and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police department that contained another picture-of handcuffs. ------------------------------------------------------------- True story from Orange County: A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home. He says no - he only lives a mile away. About five blocks from the party the police pull him over for weaving and ask him to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he starts, the police radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking place in a house just a block away. The police tell the party animal to stay put, they will be right back - and they run down the street to the robbery. The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has the flu and has been in bed all day. A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with the flu and has been so all day. The police have his driver's license. They ask to see his car and she asks why. They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens the door where they find: the police car, lights still flashing. This true story was told by the driver at his first AA meeting, according to the newspaper account. ============================================= When asked for her occupation, a woman charged with a traffic violation said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court," he smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not pass through a red light' five hundred times." ============================================= A wealthy playboy met a beautiful young girl in an exclusive lounge. He took her to his lavish apartment where he soon discovered she was not a tramp, but was well groomed and apparently very intelligent. Hoping to get her into bed he began showing her his collection of expensive paintings, first editions by famous authors and offered her a glass of wine. He asked whether she preferred Port or Sherry and she said, "Oh, Sherry by all means. To me it's the nectar of the gods. Just looking at it in a crystal-clear decanter fills me with a glorious sense of anticipation. When the stopper is removed and the gorgeous liquid is poured into my glass, I inhale the enchanting aroma and I'm lifted on the wings of ecstasy. It seems as though I'm about to drink a magic potion and my whole being begins to glow. The sound of a thousand violins being softly played fills my ears and I'm transported into another world. "On the other hand, Port makes me fart." _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

The image is rendered in colored pencil in official Mardi Gras colors! ~ (gold, green, and purple) ~ and is cut out and foam mounted over some very cool jestery fabric - diamonds outlined in gold, of yellow/gold, green, and deep purple. Tiny gold stars are glued about the card, and the edges are decorated with a strip of hologram ribbon. Impressive shading with those pencils! Michelle Oakley: This card features a large sculpture jester face on a stick, with ribbons and bells festooning the striped collar and hat. (I'd love to know who makes this stamp, Michelle!) It's stamped in black and colored with markers in shades of purple, red, and blue, with golden yellow bells, on a rectangle of white cardstock which is layered on a large piece of exquisitely marbled text weight paper. The base card is a soft shade of blue, which sets off perfectly the marbled shades of the exotic paper. Maxine Lees: This card is a wonderful collage including dyed/webbing sprayed (?) rubber shelf liner, lots of feathers, and a large reclining semi-nude man from Meer Image holding a golden goblet ~ the words over him say "Well, I'm glad that's over", while all around on the base card swirl goblets and bunches of grapes! Inside is hand-stamped and embossed "Mardi Gras" in a great alpha font. You can see this card on the Meer Image website ~ it's great! Sandra Kavanagh: An oversized postcard format loaded with great images layered atop each other. The main image is a "New Orleans" (people in costume with confetti and balloons and such) stamp from Rubber Anarchy. Not quite sure how this is done but it is tri-colored (green, yellow, purple) and triple-embossed with the image stamped in black ink. Layered under it are three other increasingly larger rectangles, one at a diagonal - that are stamped backgrounds - also in the Mardi Gras colors. One is the New Orleans stamp, under that is a "Celebrations" repeat of tiny confetti, streamers, and stars and such, and the last layer is a repeat of an All Night Media dancing jester. Great fun! Carol Brown: The stamp used on this card is a large mask stamped in a very true black (I think it is PSX, but I'm not sure about this). It is cut out and layered on a beautiful silver paper with a delicate silver on silver pattern. All of this is framed by black cardstock, followed by a white cardstock cut out all around with ripple edgers, and layered on a black base card. Carol used different colored feathers on each card to embellish the mask ~ the one I have features two gorgeous feathers in pink and black polka dots and stripes ~ attached to the edge of the mask along with a silver mesh bow and a long strand of clear, pink, and purple beads. Many thanks to all the participants for such wonderful work!

MO, any artwork that you deem worthy of framing is frameable, whether it is 2"x2" or 20"x20". Granted there is something grand and awe-inspiring about artworks that are the size of a wall but there is also something to be said for having to get in close and peer at something.... :-} Deborah ~dkj This message was from Bibelots - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

Dear Valerie ... and everyone: I am unsubbed at the moment, and Valerie's post was forwarded to me, along with a few of the posts that led up to hers. If I could be granted one wish today it would be that women never, ever again make a joke about mammography. Cancer detection is no joke; and in this case, it appears that the joke (?) has discouraged at least one woman from taking a precautionary measure. Mammography is not just about you or about me ... it's about our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, every female who's life touches on ours. Breast self-examinations (BSE's), regular check-ups and mammography are essential to early detection. And early detection offers the best chance of early recovery. If anyone thinks mammography is a joke, I assure you they would not find breast cancer laughable. A mammogram is nothing to be feared; it may be uncomfortable for a few minutes - and it's well worth the discomfort, to know that you are doing everything possible to look after yourself. I've heard from women who thanked me for trying to dispell their fears, and after their mammograms said that they didn't see what all the fuss had been about. Some technicians say that the mammography is easier for the full-breasted woman. If you are finding yourself to be upset at the idea of having a mammography, please know that it might be discomforting physically and to your sense of modesty; on the other hand, there will be only yourself and the technician present ... and you can be assured that this health care professional has seen a lot of breasts before yours. It may be helpful to have a friend go along with you; some women find themselves feeling emotionally vulnerable just before their exam, and it's nice to have a chum for support. This is not meant as a criticism of anyone who posted previously on this subject. It is a plea for women to think seriously about the health issues that relate to all of us. If anyone wants to discuss this matter with me privately, please feel free to e-mail. Ant Judy H. >>I have come to know that I will Never, Ever have a mammogram!
