EDDY'S "PET" PEEVES ABOUT KELLY

Blaming your farts on me... not funny... not funny at all !!!
Yelling at me for barking. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG, YOU IDIOT!
Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?
Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it!
Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Woo Hoo! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!
Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
Dog sweaters. Hello???, Haven't you noticed the fur?
How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.

THE DMV

A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. The optician showed him a card with the letters: 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.'

"Can you read this?" the optician asked. "Read it?" the Polish guy replied, "I know the guy."

"My Mom's the Best" Keychain
.
This pretty keychain will tell mom just how much you love her! With pretty colored beads and a personal message, your mom will cherish this gift.
.

What you'll need:

Alphabet beads spelling "MY MOMS THE BEST"
Colorful beads to fill in gaps (30-40)
Colorful charm
Keychain ring
24" stretchy jewelry cord, cut into two equal pieces

How to make it:
Line up the two pieces of jewelry cord side by side, then gather one end together and tie in a triple knot to the keychain ring.
Thread 4-5 colorful beads onto one side of the jewelry cord.
Thread on the letters T H and E, be sure they are facing the correct direction.
Follow with 4-5 more colorful beads.
Add the letters B, E, S and T.
Add 4-5 more beads.
Carefully set the finished cord aside, taping the end of the cord to the table will keep the beads from falling off.
On the other string, add 3-4 colorful beads, then the letters M and Y.
Next add 3-4 more colorful beads, and then the letters M, O, M and S. (See photo.)
Add 5-6 more colorful beads.
Lay the two strings along side each other and add beads to the shortest side to get them even.
Holding the two ends of the jewelry cord as close to the last beads as possible, thread one last colorful bead onto BOTH strings. Run the string through the bead again by looping it through the top and pulling it tight. (See photo.)
Tie the charm to the end of the string, knot it several times and trim ends. Don't trim it too close!
.

AUNTIE MARGARET'S TIPS:

For younger children you can use pony beads and larger alphabet beads as well as hemp or thicker jewelry cord.
If you like, instead of the phrase, make up your own phrase or use your mom's first name.
This keychain also makes a lovely addition to mom's work desk hanging on a pushpin!
