Quote of the Week

This is going to be a short post tonight but I wanted to get the QOTW out for everyone this week. This weeks entry is a shared award. It is shared by Dr Nussbaum, Jamie Koultonovich, and Julie Miller. All 3 said the following statement within the same week:

"You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't."

Nussbaum on Hannah's bite, and the possibility of an ensuing HIV test for baby Clair: Well, you're "Damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't" I like to be on the safe side.

Koultonovich had another take on the expression. She used it when describing the hot weather they encountered in FLA while on vacation, and then the 95+ temps of last week. " We got back here and now it's hot as hel* here." [It's one of those "You're damned if you do, and your damned if you don't"type things.]

Julie Miller then used that same line 2 days later while Logan was getting his hair cut. "He wants it short, but I like it long." "It is the summer time I guess, and he has been begging me to get it cut." "I guess I'm Damned if I do, and damned if I don't."

3 people and 3 times in 1 Week most definitely wins the QOTW. Congrats to these 3 on their accomplishment. Good Luck to all next week!!

Finals, Animals and the QOW

I just finished watching game 4 of the NBA finals. I must say this has been the most entertaining finals series I have every watched. It helps that both of these teams are stacked, and it's really a crap shoot on who will win it. It now appears the Celtics will, as they just capped a 24 point comeback over the Lakers and lead the series 3-1. Just what we need, another Boston team winning a title. Can Philly get just one?!? Pierce is proving to be the best player on the court in this series. The Jayhawk out played Kobe tonight, and is a huge reason the Green team is on the verge of another NBA title. Amazingly, they are winning these games without much production from BIG BABY . Hopefully this great series will help distract from all the negative Donagey pub. Go figure, the NBA was really throwing that Kings game against the Lakers years ago. Heck I can't blame them either. Look at how entertaining this years series has been! Who the heck wanted to see the Kings and Nets??

BIG BABY reminds me I almost forgot about BIG BROWN. Wow, what happened?? I thought that was about as big a lock as I can remember in horse racing and the pony finishes last? Wow. Glad I didn't make it out to the OTW this year. I wouldn't have bet him out of the last post at the Derby, and would have bet confident in betting a lot on him at the Stakes. Shows why I never do well at betting the horses I guess.

I think the animals are trying to take over our yard. Just stay out of the house!! It gets worse each day it seems out there. Let's see, of course we had the snakes out there, the mice that were in the shed, and now the groundhogs are back eating the Mulberries in the yard. What I am very surprised at is the birds!! These grey birds are fearless of humans. They don't bother me out there, but it is truly amazing. This one particular one followed me all throughout the yard while I was mowing this week. He went from tree to tree, and even walked beside me on the ground..just looking at me. I'm not sure if he liked me, or didn't trust me. Hopefully his mind is at ease...I'm just there for the mowing buddy. I would consider taking on a new bird friend but probably not until August, so check back with me then.

Now the quote of the week.. Well, this week the honor goes to Joseph O'Neill of Gerhardt. When I was showing him the new UPS coverage map with the states colored to show the transit times from Dallastown, he asked me "Now is this just for Ground or is this for Air shipments too?"

Nope Joey, the Next Day Air Shipments are delivered the NEXT DAY. Congrats to Joe for scoring his 1st QOW.

Good Luck to all this week!
