The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.

SOCRATES

````````````````````````

Michelle Wolf on A Friend’s Pregnancy

One of my friends is pregnant. And I’m really excited. Not for the baby but because she’s one of my skinniest friends.

`````````````````

Mother-in-Law Suite

My wife, a real estate agent, wrote an ad for a house she was listing. The house had a second-floor suite that could be accessed using a lift chair that slid along the staircase. Quickly describing this feature, she inadvertently made it sound even more attractive: "Mother-in-law suite comes with an electric chair."

``````````````````````

Mom's Call

I was sound asleep when the telephone jarred me awake.

"Hi!" It was my peppy mother-in-law. She proceeded to rattle on about the busy day she had ahead and all the things that awaited her the rest of the week.

"Mom," I interrupted. "It’s five in the morning."

"Really? What are you doing up so early?"

``````````````````````

Unused Gift

Fresh out of gift ideas, a man buys his mother-in-law a large plot in an expensive cemetery. On her next birthday, he buys her nothing, so she lets him have it. "What are you complaining about?" he fires back.

"You still haven’t used the present I gave you last year."

```````````````````````

Family Restaurant

The night we took our three young sons to an upscale restaurant for the first time, my husband ordered a bottle of wine. The server brought it over, began the ritual uncorking, and poured a small amount for me to taste.

My six-year-old piped up, "Mom usually drinks a lot more than that."

````````````````````````

Rare Phone Call

My mother, a master of guilt trips, showed me a photo of herself waiting by a phone that never rings.

"Mom, I call all the time," I said. "If you had voicemail, you’d know." Soon after, my brother installed it for her.

When I called the next time, I got her message: "If you are a salesperson, press one. If you’re a friend, press two. If you’re my daughter who never calls, press 911 because the shock will probably give me a heart attack."

`````````````````````````

Dinner Table Gaffe

A couple invited some people to dinner. At the table, the wife turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"

"I wouldn’t know what to say," the girl replied.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.

The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

```````````````````````

Always Questioning

My mother is always trying to understand what motivates people, especially those in her family. One day she and my sister were talking about one relative’s bad luck. "Why do you suppose she changed jobs?" Mother asked my sister. "Maybe she has a subconscious desire not to succeed."

"Or maybe it just happened," said my sister, exasperated. "Do you know you analyze everything to death?"

Mother was silent for a moment. "That’s true," she said. "Why do you think I do that?"

`````````````````````````

Perfect Timing

On vacation in Hawaii, my step- mom, Sandy, called a café to make reservations for 7 p.m. Checking her book, the cheery young hostess said, "I’m sorry, all we have is 6:45. Would you like that?"

"That’s fine," Sandy said.

"Okay," the woman confirmed. Then she added, "Just be advised you may have to wait 15 minutes for your table."

`````````````````````

Cool Family

I discussed peer pressure and cigarettes with my 12-year-old daughter. Having struggled for years to quit, I described how I had started smoking to "be cool."

As I outlined the arguments kids might make to tempt her to try it, she stopped me mid-lecture, saying, "Hey, I’ll just tell them my mom smokes. How cool can it be?"

``````````````````````````

Eating Up

Mother and I were discussing our mutual weight problem one evening, when I challenged her to a contest. If I lost the most weight in the next month, I wouldn’t have to pay her the $6 that I owed her. If she lost the most weight, I would have to pay up. Anything for an incentive!

“All right,” said Mother happily. “But let’s wait two weeks before we start. There are some things I have to eat first.”

````````````````````````

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


Well another day, a nuther 100 degrees. slapforehead


Actually our forecast is only 96 degrees Friday. Much cooler. woot


I keep trying to replay old games that won't work on two different computers. Today I tried playing 80 Days with no luck. I was quite excited about playing it again. sad


That was after I installed ECHO, and Myst 5, and couldn't play them. mad


I have Windows XP on disc. I think I'll try reinstalling it........on everything. It came installed on my desktop, but I had since installed Windows 7 on it. razz


It's just frustrating. I DON'T like Microsoft. shame


I hope the weather cools down before I tire of re-watching all of my movies. yes


We only have a couple of more months of this heat.


Have a happy day everyone.

Joe, this is why I haven't installed Windows 10. I'm too afraid I wouldn't be able to play so many of my favorite games. yes I hope you're able to get your games to work again! luck

It's Thursday night for me, and I have another long day of work tomorrow. I have to go to three different stores this time. crazy

Oh well, off to sleep now. Have a great Friday, everyone. summer

I just installed Windows 10. I'm giving it a shot.

Have a happy day all! I still have things to do before I call it a day!

Fantastic Friday ya'll puppy

I've been in the kitchen chopping and measuring and toasting nuts preparing to make Soot's b'day cake. I got soaked through in there.....sheesh!

His b'day is not til Sunday but he is leaving Monday morning so thought I'd go ahead and make the cake. It takes several hours, (I'll be working on it on and off all day) so he can enjoy it for a couple of days before he has to go.

Sky is reminding me I haven't fed the dogs yet. Smart dog! He tells time really well.

Joe, I hate when I can't get things to work. Good luck!

Safe traveling around to stores, Venus wave

Space, have a great day.

Ana, I've had Windows 10 for a couple of months, but I haven't tried to play any old games with it.

Gerry, thanks for the drinks.

Midgy, we need rain too. Send it on down please.

Connie, what is your favorite karaoke song?

Gail, we'll be joy too if we get rain. Enjoy it.

Enjoy your family, Darlene. What's for dinner?

Hi ya Space, you have plans?

I'm off to nap....

The boys and I made deviled eggs for dinner. Those are the fastest deviled eggs I've ever made. Tis true, "Many hands make light work."

Now off to bathe and then relax in the bed with a book. Sweet dreams all sleep
