Sad Day
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times, he was still a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife PlayDough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Today I found out a dear friend passed away in Florida on July 5th same as my mom's birthday. He had been with his daughter for a little while in Florida and will be buried in Harriman, NY near me.
Bill was 91 and served in Normandy. His son passed away a few years back from the effects of Agent Orange in Vietnam.
He was a master carpenter and the best trim man I ever knew. A shop stewart in his union. He helped me remodel my house and we shot together in NY and at Lyman's Blue Trail Range in CT.
He was a giant who walked amongist us. Well done Bill. Rest in Peace and I shall miss you terribly old friend.0 -
I had to put our 12 year old male cat down this morning. We had him in the vets the last two weeks for stomach problems and Monday of this week the vet told me that he had a big tumor in his stomach and that there was nothing he could do for him but make him comfortable. I knew this day was coming but its still not easy. Gary 0 -

Rest in Peace Charlton Heston. I have always been in awwwww of this man who stood up for what he believed in and never backed down. Whom ever reads this please have a moment of silence and reflect on greatness this man has done for us. There will never be another President like Charlton Heston, just hope that the new President has half the BALLS as Charlton Heston did.

My Dog Died Today. I came home from work and found her laying on the grass in the back yard. Taz (her real name was Tazmania) was a 13 1/2 year old Chowador (Black Lab - Chow Chow mix). She was one of the greatest dogs I have ever had the pleasure of working with, a perfect dog for home defense, family play and field work. Her hips have been going away for the past 2 years so I knew this day would come. Every time I thought about putting her down she would start acting like a puppy. My 6 year old daughter Breelyn is taking it pretty hard, Taz was the only pet she ever had.
Man, It's always hard to hang up a collar....0 -
My father finally retired and my parents moved to upstate Pennsylvania. Iam really close to them and now have to drive five hours to see them instead of 1/2 an hour. They only been gone three days and I already miss them. They deserve a nice retirement and could no longer afford to stay here in NJ with our high taxes. Christmas is going to suck without them here. I tried to talk them into coming and staying with us but they said they didnt want to burden us. I guess they did the right thing because I am moving to Georgia in a few years and my sister is in the process of moving to Texas.This will be the first time we have not been all together in 50 years for Christmas.[V] 0 -

I really do not care for our potus or his political party. But unitl the next election there is nothing i can do about it! If the time comes when he uses a stroke of a pen and take away our rights i am willing to fight for them and die! So for all the people who will not be celebrating(sp) stay home be bored and shut up![:D] 0 -
Its a sad day in Arizona today two news helicopters crashed in mid-air all four people were killed even though most of you are not from Arizona please keep the familys in you prayers tonight 0 -
Lost my longtime renter to cancer.
He was retired AirForce and a mean old fart,
but he was MY mean ol fart.
He left his stuff to me "less bank stuff" along with the keys and a legal note at the park office.
I guess us not raising his rent and some help we gave him went a long way.
He was dying and could not clean the place up and had no security deposit with us.
I can get twice the rent and no ass chewings,but I wish we still had him.
Now for the insult to injury.
Picked up the keys & document at the office and the lady said his daughter had been there to pick up a few things.....[?]
He has no daughter,
just one son out of state which he disowned.
His son cashed in the airline tickets that the old man sent him while on his death bed.[V]
He just wanted to see his son one more time.
The kicker, he left me his .45 and guess what?
His sister took it.
He hated her.
She had some scribbling on paper which she claimed was his last will.
He was on morphine,so who knows.
In the state of Texas this has wieght.
She said she would be back in a few weeks for the rest of his stuff.
105 degrees there today.
Had to clean it up without any air cond,his sis hit the freon line moving a large chair out.
$250. later and after the work I did was finished I have ac again.[:)]
Guess she wont find much left,
as the welfare suckers were picking it up
off the curb as I was leaving.
Going back tommorrow to do some TLC.
Some days just don't pay to get up.
BTW
I witnessed a fatal traffic accident yesterday while going to the PO box.[:(]0 -
Get another dog as soon as possible for your daughter, id suggest, as im sure many others would too. 0 -
Sorry to hear it. It's never easy. 0 -
Sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a friend. 0 -
I'm sorry to hear about that. The loss of a beloved pet is no small matter. 0 -
Sorry to hear of your loss.... 0 -

Sorry to hear of your loss. I'd also suggest that you get another pet for your daughter. 0 -

I also suggest you let your daughter pick out the new pet and name it. Helps in the emotional transition.0 -

Sorry to hear about the loss. Tazz is also the name of our 2yo Schnauzer. Pets are, truly, members of the family. 0 -
...I am so sorry. I like most "best friends" better than most people, at least with your best friend, "what you see is what you get; unlike some people.
...I waited for 2-3 years and then had to be talked into getting another best friend when my last one passed, my mistake! May be hard to fathom right this minute but, find you another best friend ASAP...you will soon find your new best friend bringing a lot of joy into your life and helping to put time between you and your loss; a very enjoyable passage of time indeed, makes it much easier...[;)]

Thank you all for your kind words. I have saved Taz's collar and we'll be getting a little memorial statue of her. My daughter has been saying that she wants a pair of love birds, so we might be doing that soon. That way she can have her own pet to love and care for. She has always said that Taz was my dog and she wanted her own pet, good thing we have a bird farm down the road a bit.
I would love to get another dog, but in all honesty I just don't have the time to train a puppy. I'm really pressed for time between work, family and school. It just wouldn't be fair to a puppy if I couldn't spend a couple of hours a day training it. I would love to get a beagle and train her to run rabbits, but I just can't do it till I'm done with school. Four years really isn't that long.0 -
I'm really sorry for your Daughter.
I get my Dawgs from the Humane Society, now. Often they already have good training, and they certainly need good homes.
This has been a bad year for the pets of GB members.

My consolation goes out to you. I know how sad this is. 0 -
Sorry to hear you lost a family member. Our thoughts will be with you. 0 -
Is that what they are called? We always just called ours a "black lab/chow mix."
Sorry about your loss. While I am really not much of a "dog person," our's is my youngest son's best friend, and I know he will be devastated when "that day" comes.
He is a very sweet dog with a nice tempermant, very laid back.
Looks like a lab, only the size of a chow, with the black tongue.0 -
Mk 19, sorry about losing your friend,It always seems after a little healing time getting a new buddy helps heal the wounds even faster, hope your daughter is keeping her spirits up,and yes i will agree ,not much harder of a thing to do than hanging up a collar, best, Loko 0 -
Im really sorry for you, I know just how much you can love them as part of your family.
My Sincere Regards!0
