And we’re backYes, the site was down for a little while. The nice tech guys told me that they had to reboot the server, but then it still took another fifteen minutes after they rebooted the server for it to come back up. I have a feeling there is more to it, but it’s back up now and hopefully it will stay up. I’m pretty happy with the jokes if ya’ll want to keep up with that. What do you do when you stump your toe? You call a toe truck (tow truck)

Yep, and we couldn’t get on to the CCAA’s site either - all at the same time. We were wringing our hands wondering what the cut-off was gonna be…. sigh…. oh well, bring on the blonde jokes… heehee
November 29th, 2006 at 11:02 pm
A short one:
How does a blonde high-5?
She smacks herself in the forehead.

Do you know what time the CCAA usually changes its site? Can you tell my LID is Sep 7………..

Okay I was freaking out just a bit. No blog? No forum? No fun! Crud. I was starting to rock back and forth and drool. Not a pretty picture. I’m glad you’re back RQ. Now back to those jokes. I wish I had some to tell but sadly I’m a bit of a potty mouth so I’ll refrain. More monkey jokes please.
November 29th, 2006 at 11:04 pm

How about an Irish Joke…
Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he’d just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he’s walking with a limp.
“What happened to you?” asks Sean, the bartender.
“Jamie O’Conner and me had a fight,” says Paddy.
“That little shit, O’Conner,” says Sean, “He couldn’t do that to you, he must have had something in his hand.”
“That he did,he did” says Paddy, “a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin’ he gave me with it.” “Well,” says Sean, “you should have defended yourself, didn’t you have something in your hand?”
“That I did,” said Paddy… “Mrs. O’Conner’s breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight.”
I’ve got a few more….

November 29th, 2006 at 11:20 pm
Tater seems to have been spanked and they aren’t talking anymore.
Here’s a funny… if the Playstation and Wii were human and had a conversation
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9136575504838642038&q=nintendo+wii
There is no profanity, but it’s probably not something you want to watch at work or with little kids around.
November 29th, 2006 at 11:21 pm
….. WAIT!…… someone say “banana bread?”….. Recipe, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i can smell it all over the way over here!!) *okay, back to the jokes…*

I have no jokes — very bad @ remembering them… but I’m going crazy waiting to hear something —- anything!! Love reading all your jokes.. Newfiedeb — same here — Jay Leno, my computer — and solitare so keep me busy between using the “refresh” button…
Anyone know when CCAA usually updates their site?? Is there even a “normal” time — Usually it’s hard for me to stay up for the “camp-outs” - but w/ a LID of 8/30/05 –I can not sleep!!!!!
November 29th, 2006 at 11:43 pm
I suspect you’re almost to the finish line RQ.
Perhaps there needs to be something like that scene from Hitchcock with ladybugs instead of birds. well, and without the scary stuff.
or maybe the Swarm with ladybugs instead of bees…and well, without the stinging and scary stuff.
Well, I’m off to try and sleep. (yeah right)
Hopefully tomorrow we’ll all say “here comes the sun” and it’ll be alright.
Here’s to the referrals arriving!
November 29th, 2006 at 11:43 pm
I keep heading to bed and then think, “OK, one more check!” Seriously sick….what can I say…after nearly two years a girl’s head goes a little silly….keep the faith.

I hope this is okay for the blog? My grandmother’s favorite joke:
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with a very sheer blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that! The teenager tells her “Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!” and out she goes. The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate… The grandmother says, “Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets.”
November 29th, 2006 at 11:50 pm
O.K gang - I’m going to try and shut the computer down and see if that helps me sleep (LMAO) I betcha I check in an hour. If I don’t see ya’s on here night night and don’t let the bed bugs bite (unless their ladybugs…)

Jeez!! We must be psychicly (sp?) connected! I just finished making banana bread as well!! I have 4 fresh loaves (dog tried to eat one…) I tried something new and added pecans, raisins and cut up dried plums. (OK - they are prunes, but I think the prune has a bit of a bad marketing team - they should “bill” them as big raisins!) I am going to go slice one and try it out!! Usually, I put blackberry “goo” in it and that is always good.
November 30th, 2006 at 12:07 am
What do you call a blonde with ESP and PMS?

Why did the blonde stare at a frozen orange juice can for 2 hours?
Because it said “concentrate”!
November 30th, 2006 at 12:08 am
What is so wild is tonight (before logging on to RQ) I had this taste/craving for banana bread…. i would LOVE LOVE a recipe… anyone willing to share??? wonder if the banana will replace the ladybug??? haha

How can you tell when a blonde is wearing pantyhose?
When she farts, her knees bag.
Okay, I’ll get back to the clean ones.

Just one more:
Why do blondes have big bellybuttons?
From dating blonde men.
November 30th, 2006 at 12:11 am
Jesus and Saint Peter are golfing. St. Peter steps up to the tee on a par three and hits one long and straight. It reaches the green. Jesus is up next. He slices it. It heads over the fence into traffic on an adjacent street. Bounces off a truck, onto the roof of a nearby shack and into the rain gutter, down the drain spout and onto a lilly pad at the edge of a lake. A frog jumps up and snatches the ball in his mouth. An eagle swoops down, grabs the frog. As the eagle flies over the green, the frog croaks and drops the ball. It’s in the hole. Saint Peter looks at Jesus, exasperated. “Are you gonna play golf?” he asks “Or are you just gonna f*** around?”
November 30th, 2006 at 12:11 am
This past week our garage door has not been working well. My three year old daughter followed me to the garage as I was going to get something out of the freezer and she locked me in the garage. No one else was at home and I kept asking her to unlock the door and she would reply, “in a little while”. I sat in the garage for at least 20 min. waiting for my husband to come home from work. I will look back on this in a couple of year and think it was funny. It sure wasn’t funny at the time.
November 30th, 2006 at 12:12 am
Big belly buttons!? I had to stop and think for a second! OMG! I need to go to bed!!!! LOL!
November 30th, 2006 at 12:13 am
A guy meets a lady of the evening in a bar. She says, “This is your lucky night. I’ve got a special game for you. I’ll do absolutely anything you want for $300, as long as you can say it in three words.” The guy replies, “Hey, why not?” He pull his wallet out of his pocket, and one at a time lays three hundred-dollar bills on the bar, and says, slowly: “Paint…my…house.”

Did you hear that someone broke into our local police station and stole the toilet?
Right now the cops have nothing to go on…..”
November 30th, 2006 at 12:17 am
roadrunner that is funny! That happened to me last year in the snow! Same daughter who shaving cremed that cat, told me to wait a minute she’s watching Dora! I had to run to the neighbors and borrow shoes and a coat and beg for her to come open the door!

For all of the future parents out there:
A three-year old put his shoes on by himself. His mother noticed the left was on the right foot. She said, “Son, your shoes are on the wrong feet.” He looked up at her with a raised brow and said, “Don’t kid me, Mom. I KNOW they’re my feet.”
Off to bed…

OK first post here
When you are first being introduced how can you tell an accountant from an engineer?
The accountant looks at your shoes when he talks to you.
The engineer looks at HIS shoes when he talks to you
You can tell a lot about a person by how funny he thinks this is (I am a former accountant - now working with engineers)

Hi all I am new here have been lurking for a while. This is our second adoption from china. I love all the comments and the support that happens on this site RQ your are an amazing woman.
Roadrunner and Babycakes your comment are so funny imagine having a 2 yr old and she locked me out of the house. I was begging and pleading with her to let me in when she was not sure how she locked me out. I had to break into my own house through one of the bedroom windows and the neighbor called the cops. I was not to happy at the time now it is kind of funny, at least it was summer and the window was open.
Hoping for good news AOS
DTC nov2/06 hoping for LID to still be in november

Okay, so now I know what to look forward to with a toddler. Note to self: Always take the remote for the doorlock when going outside.
Actually,… I think I did the same thing to my mom when I was little. Payback…

I am up way past my bedtime, can’t sleep on such an exciting night. I am hoping that LOTS of referrals come. I have been working on my website and stalking the us consulate website getting annoyed that they are up now and could tell me if we have a CA yet. I can’t keep waiting!!!!!and compulsively checking my agency for travel updates!
I also got a great update tonight and new pics of Kylee so I am too excited to sleep. Feel free to check out the new site at http://www.joyshare.com/sites/nanna.
Thanks for the jokes and the company! I better go to bed now. I am already useless at work—can’t stay off the internet or stop talking about Kylee– so I guess I shouldn’t add falling asleep to that!
COME ON LOTS OF REFERRALS…and CAs PLEASE!

What should you do with a blue elephant? Cheer it up.
What should you do with a green elephant? Wait until it is ripe.
What should you do with a red elephant? Quit telling it dirty jokes.
What should you do with a yellow elephant? Try to teach it to be brave.
What should you do with a white elephant? Hold it’s nose until it turns blue.
What should you do with a purple elephant? Tell it to breath (referrals will be here soon)!
November 30th, 2006 at 12:31 am

Two Irish guys are fishing. The first guy reels in his line and sees that he’s snagged an old bottle. As he’s taking it off the hook, a genie pops out and promises to grant him one wish. “Turn the lake into beer,” he says. The genie goes “Poof!” and the lake turns into beer. He says to the other guy, “So what do you think?” The other guy says, “You jerk. Now we’ve got to pee in the boat.”

China for 2nd, that takes the cake. Although, several years ago my husband and I were traveling out of state for Thanksgiving and we had a flat tire. It was like 11:30 at night and 10 degrees outside. My husband said he would fix it and be right back he just left the car running. After a while I noticed he didn’t have his coat on so I stepped out of the car to give him his coat and we both heard what sounded like the car door had been locked. Our little dog had locked us out of the car and there we stood. Not a fun night!

A string walked into a bar, sat on a stool, and ordered a drink. The bartender said, “I’m sorry, we don’t serves strings here.” The string was so angry that he went outside and got all twisted up. He started pulling his strands apart at the top. He walked back into the bar and ordered another drink. The bartender said,”Aren’t you that string who was in here a minute ago?” He replied, “No, I’m a frayed knot.”

OK—one more — A woman was trying hard to get the catsup to come out of the bottle. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her four-year-old daughter to answer the phone. “It’s the minister, Mommy,” the child said to her mother. Then she added, “Mommy can’t come to the phone right now. She’s hitting the bottle.”

A silly one:
A mother was reading a book about animals to her 3 year old daughter.
Mother: “What does the cow say?”
Child: “Moo!”
Mother: “Great! What does the cat say?”
Child: “Meow.”
Mother: “Oh, you’re so smart! What does the frog say?”
And this wide-eyed little 3 year-old looked up at her mother and in her deepest voice replied, “Bud.”
November 30th, 2006 at 1:12 am

Pleasant dreams all…

For the late night crowd, this one is supposedly true (I saw it in an adoption-themed magazine). It seems a little too precious to be real, but I like to believe it actually happened…
Three little girls, all about five years old and all happy and healthy, are having a play date. Two of the happy, healthy little girls were adopted from China, the third came to her family the ordinary way but was happy and healthy too. The three decided to share their knowledge of where babies came from. At some point giggling was heard from the other room by the grown-up types followed by two little girls saying in unison, “No, silly, babies don’t come from vaGina…They come from China!â€

November 30th, 2006 at 1:33 am
A bit long but cute:
Question: How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. Then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code.
Rottweiler: Make me!
Lab: Oh, me, me! Pleeease let me change the light bulb! Can I? Huh? Huh?
Dachshund: You know I can’t reach that stupid lamp!
Malamute: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he’s busy.
Jack Russell Terrier: I’ll just pop it in while I’m bouncing off the walls.
Greyhound: It isn’t moving. Who cares?
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
Mastiff: Screw it yourself! I’m not afraid of the dark…
Doberman: While it’s out, I’ll just take a nap on the couch.
Boxer: Who needs light? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there!
Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb?
Australian Shepherd: First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle…
Old English Sheep dog: Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?
Basset Hound: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Westie: Dogs do not change light bulbs — people change light bulbs. I am not one of THEM so the question is, how long before I can expect my light again?
Poodle: I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear and he’ll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a stupid burned-out bulb?

Dog Property Rules:
1. If I like it, it’s mine.
2. If its in my mouth, it’s mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
5. If I’m chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
6. If its mine, it must never appear to be yours anyway.
7. If it just looks like mine, it’s mine.
8. If I saw it first, it’s mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If its broken, it’s yours.

Good morning from UK. It’s 7 am and no change on the CCAA website.
Thanks to all of you I started my day with a few laughts!
BTW, I’m a blond (high-lighted - with an average bellybutton), heading for the hairdresser this morning to make my hair darker. It will take hours. I won’t be able to check for updates until after lunch. Bad planning!

a important Website said this morning; “the referals are here and the 23th is NOT included” what does it mean? that they are included untill 22th? we are in doubt, the news are not complet, we will see in few hours i’m guessing………
November 30th, 2006 at 3:09 am
Maybe whatever the LID this agency has before the 23rd would be the cutoff for this agency. Silvia, by chance, do you know what this earlier date could be?
November 30th, 2006 at 3:10 am
Wow, Silvia - that can mean 22nd is included, or that agency has a lid 23rd, witch is not included but the cut can be much earlier. If they have the referrals, why don’t they tell you? Why doesn’t the CCAA update the website? I can’t see the point leaving all of us out in the dark now.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:18 am
Bea, I don’t see the CCAA updating the site until (at least) they receive confirmation that all the agencies have received the packets.
It appears that this agency has families with LIDs of the 23rd and they are letting them know that their referrals aren’t in this batch. We don’t know what LIDs they have just before that, but I would think this is a sign that they are included.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:22 am
Let me look for this information…
November 30th, 2006 at 3:24 am
Skye, I suppose you are right. This agency probably doesn’t know the exact cut-of date.
This wait is driving me crazy. I guess somewhere I still have the hope of our lid to be included this month.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:25 am
Okay, Silvia. Hopefully you can find out something. I just sent a PM to RQ about the 23rd not being included. I copied your message, Silvia, so she knows exactly what you wrote.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:25 am
What’s your LID, Bea?
November 30th, 2006 at 3:26 am
Silvia, I’m looking forward to more information!! Thanks!
November 30th, 2006 at 3:28 am
Skye, it’s Sept 14th. And yours?
November 30th, 2006 at 3:32 am
Sep 4, 2006! I’ll be posting stupid jokes here for the next 2 years!! >Groan
November 30th, 2006 at 3:33 am
Part of my message didn’t post.
After the groan, I wrote that I sure hope your LID is included. With the rumors, sure, it didn’t look great but we may know more soon from Silvia and I would think you’ll know for sure tonight.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:38 am
And you know what? We’re almost December and with this month comes the flurry of activity with the year-end holidays. If your referral isn’t in this batch, I’ll bet my house that you’ll be having something additional to celebrate come Christmas. You hang in there, Miss B.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:43 am

November 30th, 2006 at 3:46 am
Hai there,
CCAA has changed there site, the batch is incl. 8 sept. I hd hoped for a bigger suprice. Concrats to the happy familys. It’s now 9:52 in the Netherlands.
Sanne.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:46 am
What?! This is the cutoff for this agency?
November 30th, 2006 at 3:46 am
Thank you Skye, this is so kind of yu to say!
Yes, December will just fly by and then it’s our turn. It’s much worse for you, who don’t know if you will be travelling in 07, 08 - or worst case scenario - even later!
I’m to be true more worried about practical things due to when we will travel, I won’t bore you with details, but we have been putting so many things on hold for such a long time now, people around us are starting to loose patience (not friends and family of course, more job-related).
November 30th, 2006 at 3:48 am
Okay, Dutchinadream. Posted before I read your post. Oh, man.
Thinking, too, of RQ with her late Sept. LID.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:49 am
Ooops, missed that.
So now we have the answer. Congrats to all of you who will soon see your children’s faces for the first time!
November 30th, 2006 at 3:52 am
Sorry for my bad English. I just open my eyes……goodmorning.
November 30th, 2006 at 3:53 am
Well, Bea, I think it’s now safe to assume you’re next. The 14th is only 6 days later than this cut-off. The trip occurs, when? Approximately two months after referral? Third week of February is the Chinese New Year (mind’s fuzzy on exact dates) so tentatively, you could travel beginning of March. Does this sound about right?
November 30th, 2006 at 4:01 am
Congrats to all the September 8th and earlier folks.
From the poll results, it looks like everyone up to and including Sep 28th should be included next month. The big question is whether the large day of the 29th will be included (over 50% chance I would estimate). And if they get that far, then there aren’t many through the first week of October.

We’ve settled into the idea of a 2 yr. wait. If it’s shorter, which I don’t believe, that would be great. If it’s longer, well, it’ll be rough but this does give us time to do things we’d like to do like move to a new house that’s more baby-friendly as our current one is a split-level and we’d need 5 stair-gates and a pool fence, do some traveling, things like this, so it’s okay. I’ll keep tabs through this wonderful site and keep looking at the incredible baby photos!! What a morale boost they are!
November 30th, 2006 at 4:03 am
ILLucy!!! So much for you getting any sleep!! Wheeee!! Congratulations!!
November 30th, 2006 at 4:06 am
Yes, Skye, that sounds very accurate. And now, finally, we can start telling peple exactly what’s going to happen, it’s a relief for everyone. We will most probably go to China in March. It’s about one year later then we expected when we sent our application in August last year, but as I have BTDT I’m confident that when we meet our baby we will understand the meaning of all this.
Okey, time for school run, and than hair-dresser. Fingers crossed my daughetr will recognize me with brown hair.

Will your telephone call come today?
November 30th, 2006 at 4:52 am
I’m NOT happy! 14 days of matching. This is NOT good. I thought that de AOS rumor was good and I thought that an agency said that we would be in for a surprise. I always hoped for a GOOD surprise.
If it’s going to be 14 days of matching each month, than we (LID 10/24/05) would be matched in March, in the Netherlands it takes almost a month before we get our referral (because of translation) in april and traveling in june. This is NOT good. I am going to need chocolate, and lots of it!!!!
But congratulations for all of those who will get their referral soon!
