Happy Birthday Alan
Happy Birthday Alan
A big Happy Birthday goes out to my brother Alan.
I hear you and AJ left out early this morning to go fishing. It's nice to actually have the day off work on your birthday. How often does that get to happen. Hardly never- I tried calling you to wish you a happy birthday but Cathy said you had already left for the river. Cathy tells me that she's frying up fish for your birthday supper tonight. Don't eat to much cake now and I hope you have lots ah' fun with your family. P.S.- I've sent you an Internet Greeting card so go check your email.
Internet Greeting Cards
Hey blog readers, since we're on the subject of Birthdays ....... We are affiliated with a greatttt E-Card site that you can send Internet Greeting Cards.

They have some of the best ones I've seen over the Internet and I'm not just saying that because we are affiliated with them either. Here's the link if you need to send some type of card.

August 1st
Hello Everyone,
I just can't believe how fast July flew by. The whole month is just a blurr to me. Our Directory website at www.gone-ta-pott.com is slowly but surely getting more hits. We're not actually trying to promote it very much because it's all we can do right now just to keep up with it as it is. Just maintaining what we have has turned out to be quite a task. smileeeeeee- a good task though. I have to say that building it has been one of the funniest things I've ever done and that's no lie.
August Newsletter
Our fun August Newsletter is up and ready for reading. You can get to it by clicking on this link. www.gone-ta-pott.com/Augustnewsletter.html. This months topics are our Top 10 pages, word of the day, joke of the day, August Calendar, Entertainment News, Hillbilly Recipe of the month, surfing news and updates, When your back is against the wall -article, today's Headline News, Catsville and last but not least our very own Picture Memory game that you will find in every single newsletter. We have more fun at writing our newsletters.
Guest Book
We wish that more people would sign our guestbook that's located at the bottom of the newsletter but for some reason most people tend to skip this part. I always find it a lot of fun when I run across guest books on personal websites. I always make sure I sign every single one I come across. If you think about it.... it's a great way to advertise your website for free because in most guestbooks they ask for your website link. If more website owners would use the free resources for advertising; our sites would be a lot better off by getting that extra free traffic. So friends.... If you go and read our newsletter please think about signing our guestbook. We would love to hear from you and would love to visit your site as well. wink~
Our Articles
Every now and then I write articles for our website and we allow many of them to be published in other websites besides our own. As I was surfing the Internet I found one of my articles located here at
http://www.nomadjournaltrips.com/florida_gator
The Title of this article is "My First Experience with a Gator." This was a short little story of my very first up close experience with a Florida Alligator. It was a fun treat to actually see my very own article while I was reading someone else's website. Great website too by the way. p.s. They even have a blog.
Halloween Directory
I know it's only August but this is the month that we start up-dating our Halloween Recipe pages that's located here http://www.gone-ta-pott.com/halloweenrecipes.html I know this may seem early to most of you to think about Halloween but if you really think about it, October is only 8 weeks away and our Halloween recipe pages start getting tons of hits during this time because of all the party planning that's going on in the next few weeks. You know if your going to have a really spooky Halloween party your going to plan the menu way ahead of time and your going to plan the theme of your party ahead of time as well. That's why the hits to this section of our website will be booming for the next 12 weeks. During our surfing this month we are going to be looking for some really ghoulish websites that we can link to as well, so if you have a Halloween website be sure to let us know so we can check it out.

Do we buy Ad Shares with Auto-Surfs and Manual Surfs?
Yep we do. We are not big investors at all though. We are mostly involved because we want to be up-to-date on all the news so we can list our finding in our Surfing News & Update section of our website for all our readers to read. The best way to do this is to be members ourselves. Plus.... Being an advertiser with these Auto-Surf sites and manual surf sites will get our site out there to the surfing world to see and we like that a lot. Kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak. You make a bit of money while you advertise your website. And when your advertising your website..... You latch on a few other websites that want to exchange links with you and that's really good for link popularity! We love that too! It makes for a really good business circle that I think more website owners need to grasp on to. Do a bit of research and get the facts. Did you know that the stistics say that it takes a person 7 times to see something before he will actually click on it and check it out? Yep.... And if you roll that around in your head for a bit you will understand how great these surf sites are for website owners. Your website will be seen by other surfing members every single day and you need those people to see it more than once in order for them to click on it. When they click on it, you get sales if your site has things to sale or you get your services noticed, which ever your site offers. Who would of thought right. Can you see how it makes for a good business circle?

Lizard Birthing
This was sent to me in my email today and I just had to share it with you. You will get a big laugh out of it and that's a fact. It's Priceless!
Overview: I had to take my son's lizard to the vet.
Here's what happened: Just after dinner one night, my son came up to tell me there was "something wrong" with one of the two lizards he holds prisoner in his Room. "He's just lying there looking sick," he told me. "I'm serious, dad, can You help?" I put my best lizard-healer statement on my face and followed him into his Bedroom. One of the little lizards was indeed lying on his back, looking Stressed. I immediately knew what to do. "Honey," I called, "come look at the lizard!" "Oh my! Gosh," my wife diagnosed after a minute. "She's having babies." "What?" my son demanded. "But their names are Bert and Ernie, Mom!" I was equally outraged. "Hey, how can that be? I thought we said we didn't want them to reproduce," I accused my wife. "Well, what do you want me to do, post a sign in their cage?" she inquired. (I actually think she said this sarcastically!) "No, but you were supposed to get two boys!" I reminded her, (in my most Loving, calm, sweet voice, while gritting my teeth together). "Yeah, Bert and Ernie!" my son agreed. "Well, it's just a little hard to tell on some guys, you know," she informed me. (Again with the sarcasm, you think?) By now the rest of the family had gathered to see what was going on. I shrugged, deciding to make the best of it. "Kids, this is going to be a wondrous experience, I announced. "We're about to witness the miracle of birth." "Oh, gross!" they shrieked. "Well, isn't THAT just great! What are we going to do with a litter of tiny Little lizard babies?" my wife wanted to know. (I really do think she was Being snotty here, too. Don't you?) We peered at the patient. After much struggling, what looked like a tiny Foot would appear briefly, vanishing a scant second later. "We don't appear to be making much progress," I noted. "It's breech," my Wife whispered, horrified. "Do something, Dad!" my son urged. "Okay, okay." Squeamishly , I reached in and grabbed the foot when it next appeared, giving it a gentle tug. It disappeared. I tried several more times with the same results. "Should I call 911," my eldest daughter wanted to know. "Maybe they could talk us through the trauma." (You see a pattern here with the females in my house?) "Let's get Ernie to the vet," I said grimly. We drove to the vet with my son holding the cage in his lap. "Breathe, Ernie, breathe," he urged. "I don't think lizards do Lamaze," his mother noted to him. (Women can be so cruel to their own young. I mean what she does to me is one thing, but this boy is of her womb, for God's sake.) The Vet took Ernie back to the examining room and peered at the little animal through a magnifying glass. "What do you think, Doc, a C-section?" I suggested scientifically. "Oh, very interesting," he murmured. "Mr. And Mrs. Cameron, may I speak to you privately for a moment?" I gulped, nodding for my son to step outside. "Is Ernie going to be okay?" my wife asked. "Oh, perfectly," the Vet assured us. "This lizard is not in labor. In fact, that isn't EVER Going to happen... Ernie is a boy. You see, Ernie is a young male. And occasionally, as they come into maturity, like most male species, they Um....um....masturbate. Just the way he did, lying on his back." He blushed, glancing at my wife. "Well, you know what I'm saying, Mr.Cameron." We were silent, absorbing this. "So Ernie's just...just...
Excited," my wife offered. "Exactly," the vet replied, relieved that we understood. More silence. Then my viscous, cruel wife started to giggle. And giggle. And then even laugh loudly. "What's so funny?" I demanded, knowing, but not believing that the woman I married would commit the upcoming affront to my flawless manliness. Tears were now running down her face. Laughing "It's just...that...I'm picturing you pulling on its... its...teeny little..." she gasped for more air to bellow in laughter once more. "That's enough," I warned. We thanked the Vet and hurriedly bundled the lizards and our son back into the car. He was glad everything was going to be okay. "I know Ernie's really thankful for what you've done, Dad," he told me. "Oh, you have NO idea," Closed mouth, my wife agreed, collapsing with laughter. 2 - Lizards - $140... 1 - Cage - $50... Trip to the Vet - $30...
Memory of your husband pulling on a lizard's winkie... Priceless!
Moral of the story - finish biology class - lizards lay eggs!

Hello Hello Hello!
It's been a while since I put my thoughts in my blog here. I've been spending so much time on the normal day-to-day chores until I just never found the time to do it. But..... here I am to write a few lines. Now where did that spell check go? I know I'm going to need that. Hummmm, come to think of it.... one of the reasons I stopped writing in the first place was because I can't spell worth a flip and I never could get that spell check button to check my spelling. Yeah.... it's coming back to me now.
You know life has Gone-ta-pott when?
Well here we go with a laugh or two about how life has gone-ta-pott! Today was my off day from my real job and I spent the whole day catching up on my website (www.gone-ta-pott.com) and doing the normal day-to-day chores. One of the first things I wanted to do was get my flower bed cleaned up since I finally had the time to work on it today. Off I went singing and enjoying the morning as I started pulling the weeds out of my cute little flower bed. Then..... after about 15 minutes of work I noticed about 4 inches from my hand was a snake enjoying the shady spot of the weeds where I had neglected to keep pulled. Well..... I knew my gardening for the day had gone-ta-pott because I couldn't get the heck away from that flower bed fast enough! I was actually squatting down pulling on a weed right beside the snake when I noticed him. It scared me so bad until I tried to jump out of a squatting position and when I did I fell over backwards. I fell over backwards right on top of the little shovel that I was gardening with. ooooo my butt! Well at the time I didn't even care because all I was worried about was getting the heck out of the snakes way. That dang slithering thing got startled by me flipping and flopping all over the ground until he decided to run himself. Now tell me..... which way do you think he went? Yep you guessed it. He came sliding right to me and when he did I jumped up as fast as I could dragging the shovel that was stuck in my ripped pants behind me. That was the end of that! I ran back in the house and not only was I mad because my quality time in my little flower bed was spoiled by a snake..... but I broke my shovel..... ripped a hole in my pants..... stubbed my toe and got the biggest butt bruise I've had in years. Well at least I got the flower bed watered. !!!!!!
