12 Overheard on Facebook . . .
You would think that the user groups on Facebook would have
something to do, but for the most part all I get are old jokes,
invitations to play some game, pictures of cats, and 'shares' of
someone elses 'shares'
... I do enjoy these peeks into old friends' goings-on :
Dan East sez : "Yeah, I'm a drummer, but I do love my guitars, too."
* http://bit.ly/1109x9E
Gary E. Kampel is on a roll of Irish jokes.
* An Irishman was flustered not being able to find a parking
space in a large mall's parking lot. . . . blah, blah, blah
Gail M. Murphy sez : "Happy Pi Day!" with http://bit.ly/115sVWz
Marsee Henon was Getting Ready for #PYCON at Santa Clara
Convention Center. http://bit.ly/Wt1ByH

13 Quotes: Irish Proverbs for St. Patrick's Day
You've got to do your own growing,
no matter how tall your grandfather was.
A little of anything isn't worth a pin;
but a wee bit of sense is worth a lot
Don't say everything you want to say
lest you hear something you would not like to hear
If you don't want flour on your shoes, don't go into the mill.
-----------------------------------------------------
... and have a great week!
