Always get married early in the morning. That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted a whole day.
Mickey Rooney
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My husband and I, married 13 years, were dressing for a party. I’d spent all day getting a haircut and permanent, then as we were leaving, we met in the hall and he said nothing. I complained that he had not even noticed my hair. "You used to pay attention to every little thing, and now you don’t notice anything! You take me for granted!"
My husband stood there rubbing his face as he let me rant and rave. Then it hit me: He’d shaved off his six-month-old beard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The summer after college graduation, I was living at home, fishing in the daytime, spending nights with my friends—generally just hanging out. One afternoon my grandfather, who never went to college, stopped by.

Concerned with how I was spending my time, he asked about my future plans. I told him I was in no hurry to tie myself down to a career.

"Well," he replied, "you better start thinking about it. You’ll be thirty before you know it."

"But I’m closer to twenty than to thirty," I protested. "I won’t be thirty for eight more years."

"I see," he said, smiling. "And when will you be twenty again?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was having lunch with several thirty-something friends when talk turned to the dismal prospect of our growing older.

"Well, judging by my mother," I said, "at least my hearing will improve. My mother can hear my biological clock ticking from 200 miles away."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My brother and his wife started their family in their early 40s. One day my sister-in-law and I were commiserating about the effects of time marching on.

"I just got my first pair of glasses," she said, and paused as her two preschool boys thundered past her. "Now, if only my hearing would go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My 20th high-school class reunion was held at a hotel on the same night that another school’s tenth-year reunion was taking place. While my friends and I were in the rest room talking, some unfamiliar women entered.

After their stares became uncomfortable, we turned toward them. One of the women said, "Don’t mind us. We just wanted to see how we’d look in another ten years."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my grandmother’s 80th birthday, we had a huge family celebration and even managed to get a photo announcement printed in the local paper. "That was a nice shot," I commented.

"It’s my passport picture," she revealed.

"Really?" I stared in amazement at my homebody grandma. "Where did you go?"

"Walgreens," she replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our dear friend Trudy attended my husband’s birthday party. Though she’s been through a lot—including a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery—Trudy was the life of the party as usual. Hugging her good-bye, I couldn’t help noticing she had nothing on under her blouse.

"Trudy, you’re not wearing a bra!" I whispered.

With a twinkle in her eye she replied, "I may be 70, honey, but they’re only 15."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that I’m over 40, younger teammates have begun to tease me about my declining abilities as a softball player. During one game, I was playing third base when a batter ripped a shot over my head. I leapt as high as I could, but the ball tipped off the end of my glove and fell safely for a hit.

At the end of the inning, I was heading for the dugout when our left fielder caught up with me. "That much!" he called, holding his thumb and forefinger a couple of inches apart.

"I know," I replied. "I almost had it."

"No," he said. "I mean that’s how far you got off the ground."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A zookeeper is ordering new 
animals. As he fills out the forms, he types “two mongeese.” That doesn’t look right, so he tries “two mongoose,” then “two mongooses.” Giving up, he types, “One mongoose, and while you’re at it, send another one.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man is driving down the highway when he sees a shipping truck wrecked on the side of the road, and 25 penguins waddling around outside it. He pulls over and the truck driver tells him, “Quick! You’ve gotta take these birds to the zoo while I wait for AAA!” The man agrees and drives off with the penguins.

After fixing his vehicle, the truck driver heads over to the zoo to make sure the penguins made it safely. There’s no sign of them. The truck driver panics and starts scouring the town for his missing penguins. An hour later he passes by the local cinema, when who does he see leaving the theater but the guy who said he’d help him, 25 penguins still in tow.

“What happened!” the truck driver screams. “I told you to take them to the zoo!”

“I did,” the man answers. “But I had a little money left over, so I thought I’d take them to a movie too.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


As soon as I get this done I'm going to bed, so forgive me if I make it short. thanks


I would just type faster, but I don't have that much to say anyway. lol


When I got home today, I had a package on my porch. It was a new penthouse for Pepper.


I had to have something that didn't take up as much room as her mansion did.


I had to assemble it of course. By the time I had finished, I was starving, so I fixed my dinner and ate. happydance


After I ate dinner I got on my computer. snicker


That's my day in a nut shell. thumbsup


See..........I told ya. duh


Have a happ-y --dayveryon e.

I'm so glad you aren't near the tornadoes Joe. OK is getting hit good! I just heard from a friend by Tuttle OK and she said the tigers escaped from the Tiger Conservatory that was hit by a tornado and they are telling people to stay off the streets. eek

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everybody. wave

Yes we had storms here all night, but didn't get hit with severe weather. Thank you for your concern. thanks

We're supposed to have storms all weekend, and those are my days off, of course, so I suppose I won't be able to do much outside. frown

I'm scheduled to work at 11:00am to 8:00 tonight, but I am going in at 10:00am instead. I have to work in the morning at 5 or 6, and I am NOT working that late tonight, I don't care what they say. shame

I need my beauty sleep. rah

I wish you all a super perfect day. bravo

joe

Thumping Good Thursday ya'll puppy

Slept in a little as we have Bible Study tonight and if I got up at 5:30, I'd be incoherent by tonight. But did get the doggies out to walk 45 minutes up and down the hills of our neighborhood before it got too too hot. We do have lots of shade which helps. It's bright and sunny and beautiful out there, and the weatherman said that ninety-word again.

Then home to let everyone cool off, feed me, feed them, clean up the kitchen, prep some things for dinner tonight, and now it's time to sit and sip for a sec til it's time to make smoothies, which will be in about an hour.

When I was researching (after son had the tummy bug for a 2nd time), I discovered that you can remain contagious with the tummy bug for several weeks after you have "recovered." I did not know that. I think he is getting it from the kids as it seems to hit after they've been here. He is going to have to be careful not to eat or drink after them.

Hubby and I watched the new "Flash" and the new "Arrow" last night. So good!

Joe, does Pepper like her new digs? Glad you were safe last night.

Haroula, wave

Gerry, thanks for the coffee.

Connie, are the boys coming over for Mother's Day?

Gail, have a great day!

Finally got the Yard Kid here. He called Monday for Tuesday, I waited all day and he was again a no-show. So he called yesterday apologizing (on my answering machine) and wanted me to call him back. Well, seems he 'lost' his cell phone, and got a new one with an area code that requires me to pay toll charges so I'm not calling him.

Today, he calls at 8:30 am and asks if he can come and work. Sure, why not I say. So he gets here at 9:45 am and I tell him what's needed and he of course wants to do it backwards. Nope. He needs constant supervision, but he does the hard nasty stuff so I manage it.

Also found out he once again QUIT a good job (probably got fired for not showing up) but then went to Colorado to visit his sister for a week or so. He says he almost stayed but missed San Diego. Interesting, since his 'girlfriend' down here is his brother's ex-wife. Yeah, it's a soap opera. He was raised by his brother (actually not a blood relative at all) but when he hit 18 years old, I guess the wife decided to dump the older guy and go for the younger. Ugh. She's in her 40's. Big big mess.

So maybe he had a fight with her and left and they are back together. I'll check his Facebook page later and see if there are some clues there.

Can't really believe any story he tells since he makes things up. Oh and his truck (which he bought for 400 from a friend) is now in impound. He says he loaned it to his mother and she left it on the street and it got impounded. More likely that he never registered it and it got impounded wherever he left it. He has a way with fibs. Poor guy.

So today I get some work done that I can't do and he gets some money (he really needs money). I don't think he will ever have a real job, although he did work for IKEA for over a year and was doing OK there until things went South again. Probably his lack of caring about showing up or showing up late or making excuses for absences. IKEA hires and trains people with disabilities and works hard with them so a year was really good. Wish he still had a real job. Yard work isn't going to pay his rent and all that other stuff.

I hear the weed wacker going. Got to go out to see what he's doing. I specifically said to NOT use that until everything else was done. Doesn't listen well. Nice kid (well now he's 23 I guess he's not a kid anymore). I will always think of him as a kid. Sigh.


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Nan, I wish I could somehow transform myself to a morning person. There is so much more "day" when I get up early, but doing so leaves me feeling like I'm walking through molasses all day. I hate wind, though, so I'm with you on morning walks.

Sorta, sadly some folks just never learn that the rules apply to them. Glad you are getting your yard work done though.

Hi all. I'm late to the diner as usual. I worked the 5 to 8 shift tonight, then came home and did a little housekeeping. I miss all of you in the morning. I guess I have to fix that. smile I hope you all had a great day today. I have another early shift tomorrow morning so I'll start looking for my pillow soon.

Midgie hearts


Just do it.
