Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

A doctor, a lawyer, and a manager were discussing the relative merits of having a wife or a mistress.
The lawyer says, "For sure a mistress is better. If you have a wife and want a divorce, it causes all sorts of legal problems."
The doctor says, "It's better to have a wife because the sense of security lowers your stress and is good for your health."
The manager says, "You're both wrong. It's best to have both so that when the wife thinks you're with the mistress, and the mistress thinks you're with your wife - you can go to the office and do some work."

Good morning everyboomie.
Welcome to the day after the day before Thursday.
I've been fairly non-busy today. It was very overcast and cool, and I didn't go out anywhere.
It's in the 60s for the next three days. The weather swamy says 66 degrees tomorrow, 71 on Friday.
I did exercise today. I did 200 reps lifting my spoon from my plate to my mouth.
My right arm is looking pret-ty buff.
I've just been watching a show on how to lighten age spots. I tried it on myself and I guess it works. I just looked in the mirror and I had no reflection.
There could be another reason for that though.
Have a happy day everyone.
