On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman and their three sons.

Early one morning, the woman awoke, and while looking out of the window onto to the pasture, she saw that the familys only cow was lying dead in the field. The situation looked hopeless to her -- how could she possibly continue to feed her family now?

In a depressed state of mind, she hung herself. When the husband awoke to find his wife dead, as well as the cow, he too began to see the hopelessness of the situation, and he shot himself in the head.

Now the oldest son woke up to discover his parents dead (and the cow), and he decided to go down to the river and drown himself.

When he got to the river, he discovered a mermaid sitting on the bank. She said, Ive seen all and know the reason for your despair. But if you will have sex with me five times in a row, I will restore your parents and the cow to you.

The son agreed to try, but after four times, he was simply unable to satisfy her again. So the mermaid drowned him in the river.

Next the second oldest son woke up. After discovering what had happened, he too decided to throw himself into the river.

The mermaid said to him, If you will have make love with me ten times in a row, I will make everything right. And while the son tried his best (seven times), it was not enough to satisfy the mermaid, so she drowned him in the river.

The youngest son woke up and saw his parents dead, the dead cow in the field, and his brothers gone. He decided that life was a hopeless prospect, and he went down to the river to throw himself in.

And there he also met the mermaid. I have seen all that has happened, and I can make everything right if you will only make love with me fifteen times in a row.

The young son replied, Is that all? Why not twenty times in a row?

The mermaid was somewhat taken aback by this request. Then he said, Hell, why not twenty-five times in a row? And even as she was reluctantly agreeing to his request, he said, Why not THIRTY times in a row?

Finally, she said, Enough Okay, if you will make love with me thirty times in a row, then I will bring everybody back to perfect health.

Then the young son asked: "Wait How do I know that thirty times in a row wont kill you like it did the cow?"

With Sam dying, his wife Carol was maintaining a candlelight
vigil by his side.

She held his fragile hand praying and crying, this roused him
from his slumber.

He looked up and his pale lips said..."my darling Carol."

"Hush, my love"...she said... "rest, don't talk."

In his tired voice..."I have something I must confess to you."

"There's nothing to confess"...replied the weeping Carol...
"everything is all right, just go to sleep."

"No"...he struggles..."I must die in peace, I have something to
tell you Carol...I cheated on you!"

"I know"...Carol whispered as she softly stroked his forehead...
"just relax and let the poison do it's job."

A man returns from Africa feeling very ill. He visits his doctor, who immediately rushes the guy to the Mayo Clinic.

The man wakes up to the ringing of a telephone in a stark room at the hospital and answers it. We've received the results from your tests, says the doctor on the other end of the line. Bad news you have Ebola.

Oh, my God, cries the man. Doc! What am I going to do?

Don't worry. First, we're going to put you on a diet of pizza, pancakes, and pita bread, says the doctor.

Will that cure me?

No, but it's the only food we???ll be able to get under the door.

Sadie's husband Jake has been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet his faithful wife stays by his bedside day and night.

One night, Jake comes to and motions for her to come closer. He says, "My Sadie, you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what, Sadie?"

"What Dear?" she asked gently.

"I think you're bad luck."

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


Hump Day already? whistle


I'm having a little trouble adjusting to the time change. yes


I'm used to getting ready for bed when it gets dark, so now I have to get this posted and get to bed a whole hour earlier. shocked


That's because I'm scared of the dark. When it gets dark, I have to draw the shades and jump into bed, and hide under the covers. eek


I know from my childhood that the monsters can't find me if I hide under the covers. taz


I'm pretty sure I can't count on Missy to protect me. puppy


I have to say though, that she makes a heck of a burglar alarm. thumbsup


Have a happy day everyone.

So yesterday I saw my favorite dentist and he spent FIVE minutes drilling out a tiny tiny tiny temp filling and putting in another one after the endodontist did that root canal through my NEW crown. My dentist must have an agreement with the other place because he told me he said for them NOT to fill it so he could look at it before the filling. And for this nice tooth that I'd already spent 2100.00 on in the last 3 months, he added today's costs for that 5 minutes at 210.00! I almost fell over. It's horrendous for that tiny little miniscule filling. Sigh. I'm thinking seriously about finding a new dentist (after 48 years with the same guy). Can't imagine the costs for ONE tooth. I know I'm paying for 'expert' treatment, but 2300 for ONE tooth is a bit much I think.

BUT in good news: Headlight on my car was still not staying on, so my neighbor looked at it again and it came on with some wiggling, but it never stays on. I got fed up and started thinking about paying another almost 400 bucks to fix it but then decided to call my local mechanic around the corner, and he had me come right in, and in 30 minutes, most of it waiting for a part to arrive, the headlight was fixed and the total cost??? $26.42! Yeah, a BIG difference between that and the first repair on the other side. The mechanic says he's going to have nightmares about the story I told him. I can't repeat what he called the guys at the place who charged me such a huge sum for a tiny job. Live and learn. I'm learning.

Joe, the monsters only want to cuddle with you. hearts lol

Sorta, the costs of dental work is insane these days! And the fact they do it on multiple visits is even crazier! I'm glad you got your headlight fixed though.

Have a happy day everyone. One thing about being outside all day and walking all day is I sure do sleep good! lol

fall Good Morning Joe, Sorta, Ana and everyone. Joe it is hard to adjust to the time change. Sorta I know what you are going thru. I had a similar problem with a tooth only it had to be pulled because it had decayed under the crown! Ana I'll bet you do enjoy "working" outside! Coffee, tea and hot chocolate for everyone.
Enjoy your day Boomers! fall

Gonna be a good day I think. Rained a bit yesterday, totally unexpected by everyone including the weather guys. Poured in some places and nothing in others. Weird.

AND just signed up for a new class at our Police Department/Fire Department. A few years back did the Citizen's Academy which was about 2 1/2 months of weekly meetings. 'Graduated', got my mini-police badge pin (so cute). Then they won't let you take that class twice so nothing. BUT now, next Wednesday, I and my friend/neighbor have signed up for a CERT (civilian emergency response team) class. One night 2 1/2 hours of 'Active Shooter' training hosted by the police, fire, and Emergency department of University of San Diego. Gonna be fun. Training in all sorts of survival stuff, and in helping others survive in case of this type of emergency. Looking forward to the training and to seeing some of the guys that were in my other training class. Might even get on the local news as I assume all stations will send reporters to cover this event. Yep, gonna be a TV star. joy

Happy Hump Day puppy

We are only supposed to hit 70 today, with rain arriving at some point. As soon as I post, I'll gear up and take Keoki for his wander walk. I have to go into town this afternoon, but hubby is coming home to get me so all I have to worry about is dressing wink

Joe, my dogs are so confused by the time change. Their tummies are still on the other time and they let us know every night. They come to the kitchen while I'm cooking our dinner, and I have to send them out to wait. Luckily they'll adjust in a couple of days.

Sorta, I'm with you. Dental costs are out of control and out of reach for many folks. Glad you got your headlight fixed. You'll always be a star in our eyes.

Ana, how many dogs are you walking now?

Gerry, hopefully before too long it will be cool enough for hot chocolate. Thanks.

Connie, have fun tonight. I need to do that new glasses thing too. wavegirl

Gail, hope your day is great!

Hello Boomers, hoping you are well and having a good day!

Joe, hope you have a happy day too!

Ouch, Sorta! That's a horrendous amount of $$$ for one tooth. Gkad your headlight didn't sting!

Ana, glad you're sleeping well!

Gerry, thanks for the hot chocolate...hit the spot!

Connie, good luck with your eye exam!

Gail, hope your day's a good one!

L4L, hope you get your walk in before the rain hits lab

Been out with Diana today trying to bring Christmas shopping to an end! I think I managed it. Home now, time to think about what to have for tea tonight...pizza sounds about right!

Take care guys!

Wow, Mary, you are on top of things if you are finished with your Christmas shopping. Have you begun decorating yet?

Tea over and done with. Pizza was delicious...mushrooms, red onion, mixed (red, orange, yellow)bell peppers and cheese, made from scratch. Soooo good!

L4L, I love shopping, cooking and baking for Christmas but I leave the decorating as long as possible. It doesn't agree with my patience. Every year I look at all the stuff and wonder what I could get away with leaving out! rotfl

Time to chill now with my Kindle...I'm reading Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli & Isles books and loving them.

Night all!
