Home, Home on the Page
I’ve been wondering what everyone has as his/her home page. I’ve got my Xanga set as home. EDIT–A home page is the page your computer goes to when you start up your internet. Usually when you sign on to IE or Netscape, it takes you to the IE/Netscape home. You can change this page to any page you want.
And, since this entry seems so brief (probably because it is), I’ll leave you with a joke.
A farmer and a scientist were the only two
passengers left in a train car as it traveled between towns. Neither one
of them had a book or anything to help pass the time.The scientist asked the farmer if he’d like to play a word game.
“Sure, why not?” replied the farmer.
“Let’s make it interesting. For every
question that I ask you, if you miss it, you give me a dollar. For every
question you ask me that I miss, I’ll give you $10.” This sounded okay
to the farmer, and he asked the first question.
“What has three legs, takes ten hours to climb a tree, but only ten
seconds to climb down?”The scientist began to think… and think… and think. He continued to
try to come up with the answer for a good 45 minutes until the train was
ready to pull into their stop at the next station.“I give up,”said the stumped scientist. He pulled ten dollars
from his wallet and handed it over. “I can’t come up with the answer. What is it that has three legs and takes ten hours to climb a tree but
only ten seconds to climb down?”The farmer reached into his pocket, handed the scientist a one dollar bill,
and replied, “Darned if I know.”

Haha, that’s awesome!
My homepage is the AU website… It used to be the Apple home, but since I never go there normally, I changed it to the site that I probably use the most (besides Facebook… that’s never down. lol)
LOL!!!!!!!!!! oh my goodness….this was great! i don’t know what a homepage is…so there! HA!
maybe if i had time to read further on your blog, it would answer this question: are you a teacher in a school building or are you a homeschool teacher? just curious.
have a blessed week,
mary
Thanks for the recommendations!
I liked the joke… here’s another in a similar vein -
Stumpy Grider and his wife Martha were from Portland, Maine. Every year
they went to the Portland Fair, and every year Stumpy said “Ya know
Mahtha, Ah’d like ta get a ride in that theah aihplane”. An every year
Martha would say, “Ah know, Stumpy, but that aihplane ride costs ten
dollahs…and ten dollahs is ten dollahs”.
So Stumpy says “By Jeebers Mahtha, I’m 71 yeahs old, if I don’t go this time I may nevah go”.
Martha replies, “Stumpy, that theah aihplane ride is ten dollahs…and
ten dollahs is ten dollahs”.
So the pilot overhears them and says, “Folks, I’ll make you a deal, I’ll
take you both up for a ride, and if you can stay quiet for the entire
ride and not say ONE word, I won’t charge you, but just one word and
it’s ten dollars”.
They agree and up they go…the pilot does all kinds of twists and
turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard; he does it one more
time, still nothing…so he lands.
He turns to Stumpy as they come to a stop and says, “By golly, I did
everything I could think of to make you hollar out, but you didn’t!”
And Stumpy replies, “Well, Ah was gonna say something when Mahtha fell
out…but ten dollahs is ten dollahs!”
Hello, thank you for stopping by and your sweet comments. Hope your day is going well, by the way are you well now? I was sick last week, my husband it sick today…bummer, well hopefully we can all get it over with before the holidays.
Hahaha! What is a homepage?
Firefox allows you to have multiple home pages. So I have FOXNews, lordjabez.net, and my Google homepage all come up at once.

The New York Times.
Thanks for the joke!

That’s my homepage…
And that joke is quite funny…I should try it on David one day…hehehe…
I have google set as my homepage because I use the search engine a lot. Not for political reasons, just because I do a ton of internet research, and it is an easy page to bring up. We’re getting satellite high-speed internet out here in the boondocks in a couple of weeks, and we’ll see what I can change it to then! I can’t wait. There’s been so much I can’t do because of the limitations of our extremely slow dial-up internet. Our days of “Hey, I need to look at this and that, do you want to drive in to Panera with me? will be over! Yeah! ~M.E.
I have Tech Central Station as my homepage. If you would like to get rid of the advertisement (Wii) next to the comments, hover your mouse over the ad and then move it to the question mark. Click on that and you will find instructions on how to remove it!
Hi, thanks for stopping by, and leaving me a comment! I really love your layout, and your joke was very cute
I’ll have to share that one with my boys ((lol)). Thanks again, and have a blessed day!

When using Opera, I don’t have a homepage, but all my daily pages are linked on a toolbar, so I just run down the list. For the less frequenty used IE, I have my YCP webmail as a homepage.
He-he!!! I’ve heard that joke before, and always laugh!(LOL!!!!)
I totally hear ya and can chant with you, “NO DOG,NO DOG!!!” (sigh)
In the past five years we’ve had to put our Cocker Spaniel to sleep, had our Dalmation STOLEN from our back yard and had to give away our beagle. I think for now, our hermit crab and turtles will be enough pets for our home!
Thanks for subscribing to my blog! God Bless ya,

I have verizon as my homepage. Exciting!
Ok. You go to the “look and feel” page, and paste it at the bottom of the “website stats” section. That should work.
Hahaha!!!! Thats hilarious!!! I hope Keri hasn’t heard that one, I take every apportunity given to make myself seem smarted than her, however slim that idea seems!!
I’m still not sure exactly what you mean, but I get a big google on a white field after I click the internet explorer. The background where all the icons are is blue, but on my son’s computer it is a picture of his fiance. In fact, every time you aren’t computing on his computer, a picture of his fiance comes up for screen savers and such. RYC: How wonderful for you to still be maintaining your weight like that. I’m trying hard to remember how I ate when I was able to do that. It was when we started the program for Sextus (Just after 41) that I gained my weight. I was stressed and so unhappy. My dad quit smoking about at that age and gained weight then too. It makes me wonder if it was genetic programming or circumstances.
Mine is set to my hotmail e-mail account – if that weren’t my home page (subjunctive!), I’d probably never remember to check that address! And great joke
(“What vegetable is able to change from one vegetable to another? A tomato. It goes up a tomato and comes down squash.”)
I missed this one! How funny! I guess the farmer was smarter than the scientist, after all! Maybe he had more “horse sense”? ;P
