My nephew has discovered knock knock jokes. But he doesn’t even understand why they are funny. You can say anything for the answer and he laughs hysterically. LMAO

Names
Today I had a spam email about baby names and even though I deleted it and went to a different web site, I though the idea of finding out what my name means was interesting. So, from the site called BabyNames.com, this is what I found out about Mindy:
The meaning of the name Mindy is Combination Of Mel And Linda
The origin of the name Mindy is American
Notes: Nickname for Melinda.
When I asked my mom about it, she never said anything about it being a combination of two names or being a nickname. She had told me that she just always liked the name and when she first saw me after being born, the name Mindy came to mind and there was no discussion, or searching for the hidden meaning, or anything. She just thought I looked like a Mindy. So there I am.
Easter Bunnies
I love Easter. Everything is fresh and new and pretty. There are baby bunnies and baby chicks and ducks, families get dressed up to go to church, everyone eats a big meal together. It’s a happy time with family and good food. I hope your Easter is happy, too!

What is your favorite Brownies recipe? My mom used to swear by Betty Crocker’s box mix. I have tired a couple other brands in a box, but I like my scratch recipe from the back of the toll house morsels package. Those brownies are rich and dark and chewy. Sometimes I like to add walnuts, and once I stirred in some caramel pieces. Those were great! If I can find the actual recipe I will post it here for you.
Life without the Internet?
I can’t even imagine what my life would be like without the benefit of the Internet, and to think that just some 20 years ago people lived life easy enough with out all that the Internet has to offer these days.
If something happens to my computer I totally feel cut off from the entire world that is going on around me and tend to panic until the issue is resolved. I’m lucky that I have a few family members and friends that are so good with computers, so when a problem does arrive I have several people that I can count on to guide me or come to my rescue, I’m so totally grateful to them all.
My dog named Mork
I figured we would go ahead and address the ‘Mork and Mindy” name issue right away and get it over and done with, right here and now. Not that I mind all the jokes and giggles, I have a sense of humor just like the next person, and I grew up enjoying the Mork and Mindy reruns that came on cable TV, but I just figured we could nip it in the bud, so to speak.
My parents had a sense of humor also, it certainly came into play when they purchased a puppy for me at the age of 4, and my parents the whole family decided to give this newest member of the family the name of Mork. Mork has been my best buddy and friend, much like in the TV series, since the day he arrived in our house oh so many years ago and still lives there with my folks and he makes my home coming even more exciting and something to look forward to and I can’t wait to see him and spoil him rotten. He is getting up there in years but still has plenty of spunk and I treasure the time that I spend with him, as always!
