I have a couple of cherry trees in my yard. The cherries have just started ripening and the birds are furiously eating them up, almost as if they couldn't wait. I even spotted a red cardinal in the branches this morning. We're in the middle of a heat wave with thunderstorms predicted. I stopped off at the bank yesterday to accomplish 3 tasks, but I forgot to do the third! So I took a walk up there this morning to deposit that cheque. Considering I even made a list, it makes you wonder.
I've been having trouble with 'Internet Explorer 8' on my computer, it's been aborting on some of your blogs whenever I try to get in. The thing is, once you've upgraded from version 7, it won't allow you to go back to it! So we downloaded 'Mozilla Firefox' browser and this browser works just fine and seems to have a lot less overhead.
Well, it's house cleaning day today, we'll see how much I get done. (-:
Here is a funny email I received:

Have a super day! =)
lol, loved those answers! I forget what I'm doing all the time, and I have lists... I forget to take the list!
ReplyDeleteHouse cleaning day? What's that? Kidding, kind of.
ReplyDeleteFunny post. Thanks!
Hee. So funny.
ReplyDeleteYes, IE has problems with most updates. Stay away and use Firefox instead. far better...and, notably, more secure!
These are hilarious! Thanks for the laughs, Christine! I had a cherry tree in Illinois and we did get some cherries on the lower branches but the birds ate the rest! I put wind chimes up and maybe that helped a little. I wonder if it would help to hang up data disks. That's what I do in Hawaii to keep the birds away from the lemon buds.
ReplyDeleteKay, they're really just ornamental cherries and I'm happy to have the birds eat them. Thanks for the suggestion though, didn't know that about data disks. I also have a single carrot growing in my garden,
ReplyDeleteevery year a seed seems to blow over from someone's garden.
Now this post has a bit of everything for us to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI have to make lists all the time, I should actually try commit some things to memory and see how I go. Like telephone numbers, I used to know so many then came the digital phone where you store all your numbers....now I only know my own number!
Thanks for the heads up on IE8..I definitely won't upgrade. When IE starts playing up I use Firefox. It is good to have both browsers on the computer.
I wonder what age the children were that gave those answers. Great fun to read.
:-)
