A ticker tape parade...well, stocks used to come in on this thing called a ticker. In movies it's usually a complicated, funny looking, printing machine, under a glass dome. The stocks would print out on long thin strips of paper, ticker tape....When good things happened they would have a ticker tape parade and throw the ticker tape around like confetti....

ohhh now i know what you mean, we call them 'serpetine rolls' over here. Oh yes those are even more fun!!!
But.....back on topic now!
We have the big book fair event this week, where teachers take their students on field trips because it has like millions of books from all well known publishers. I went over there last wednesday and guess what..... No 'Dean and Me', no Deanna's and Ricci's book and no Nick Tosche books to be found anywhere! I was like, "what kind of joint is this ?"

Thanks for these, they were good reads. I made my sister mad making her wait to go to the mall because I HAD to finish these  But it got me thinking. It's going to be a sad day when Jerry passes away  ... But that'll be in 21 more years right?  |

*Consoles Kim* It's okay...just think that when your time comes...you can dance with him in heaven....Okay...that was sort of morbid sounding, but too bad life doesn't work like The Sims! You could just have your roomie bargain with the grim reaper and he'd just go away!

............................I love the Sims....................................
My brother used to play that game, and oh my goodness! I would watch him for hours!!
He would have all these little children locked up in a room off in the backyard; no windows, no doors and no wallpaper or carpet...
The bus would come for Timmy, but he would never come.
Aaaron (my brother) would literally have a cemetary in his backyard.
The parents died because they didn't mourn the children; so the kids came back and haunted the parents, giving them both heart attacks...
Anyways, *ahem* So articles you say? *Strokes her imaginary beard and hmmms* ....Interesting.

LOL I love to play the sims, but I've never been that extreme, however, that made me laugh out loud and make my grandparents give me strange looks! This community seems to do that...OH YES! THE ARTICLES...WELL...
