GA & Show-Me are right on the nail head. I've used this moniker for many years in various places. Started out using it on the Illini boards and moved onto using it for the fantasy sports teams I manage and even my ebay account! :D

Happy Easter

Hope everyone has a safe and joyous Easter Day, I'll have to say here in Illinois it's cold ( 30's ) so no golf today. We will be having a home cooked brunch in a couple hours when everyone is up and then hitting the kids with will talk... :cheesy: This is last time we'll have 4 out of 5 kids here for quite awhile.

Here is some Easter Humor to hopefully make someone smile and spit coffee on their screen. :D

Good Idea: Finding Easter eggs on Easter.
Bad Idea: Finding Easter eggs on Xmas.

Altzheimer's Advantage #2 :- You can hide your own Easter eggs.

Q. What do Easter Bunny helpers get for making a basket?
A. Two points, just like anyone else.

Q. Why did the Easter Bunny hide his eggs?
A. He doesn't want the other bunnies to know that he was fooling around with the chickens.

Q: What would you call the Easter Bunny if he married a chicken?
A: The very first rabbit to lay an egg!

Q: Why did the Easter egg hide?
A: He was a little chicken!

And for the woman... errr I mean chocolate lovers... :D :p

If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.
The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal.
It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

Money talks. Chocolate sings.

Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
Because no one wants to quit.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Chocolate is a health food. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived either from sugar beets or cane, both vegetables. And, of course, the milk/cream is dairy. So eat more chocolate to meet the dietary requirements for daily vegetable and dairy intake.

HAPPY EASTER !!!

Higher oil prices causing the Fed.to start raising rates. I still think the markets will sell-off sometime this year. Earning season is around the block. Several weeks ago we received warnings from FedEx,CircuitCity,and Homebuilders. Consumers are tighting the pocketbooks and this will hurt the economy. I have a feeling tomorrow job report will pop the markets Monday.:)

How do you figure your total earnings %??? Does balance amount you have play a role? I had 30% in C,S,I and 10% in G all of last year.:confused:
