Two buddies were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other had a Chihuahua. As they sauntered down the street, the guy with the Doberman said to his friend, "Let's go over to that bar and get something to drink."

The guy with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."

The one with the Doberman said, "Just follow my lead." They walked over to the bar and the guy with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the bar.

The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed."

The man with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Doberman pinscher?"

The man said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."

The bouncer said, "OK then, come on in."

The buddy with the Chihuahua figured he'd try it too so he put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the bar. He knew his story would be a bit more unbelievable. Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."

The man with the Chihuahua said, "You don't understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?"

The man with the Chihuahua said, "A Chihuahua?!? A Chihuahua?!? They gave me a Chihuahua??!!!

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show:

"Look, it's not the same hat!"
"Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!"
"Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?"


The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all.

One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot was by his side. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word.

This went on for several days. After a week the parrot finally said: "Okay, I give up. What'd you do with the boat?"

A group of friends who went deer hunting separated into pairs for the day. That night, one hunter returned alone, staggering under a hugh buck.

"Where's Harry?", asked another hunter.

"He fainted a couple miles up the trail," Harry's partner answered. "You left him lying there alone and carried the deer back?"

"It was a tough decision," said the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Harry."

Good morning everyboomie.

Boy! Sitting here with this computer in my lap, and barely being able to hold my eyes open is becoming all too common.

I think I need to just start posting the diner in bed.

Type a line, snooze a while, type another line.

Today is Thanksgiving day.

I'm giving thanks that I'm off again today.

Everyboomie.

What are you thankful for?

I've got a very stiff neck right now.

I'm not really very thankful for that.

I hope you all have a happy Thursday.

One more day till the weekend.

joe

Well, hey there, sleepy Joe! And happy Thanksgiving to you, too! We can celebrate it this week and next week, eh?

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies! It's Thoughitmaybeaweekaway,wecancelebrateThanksgivingeverydayoftheweek,yessirree Thursday!

Still Wednesday evening for me.....

Oh, Ana! Big hugs and loves for your Bobo! Prayers that it dissipates quickly through his system.

Karen, your attitude should be bottled and distributed throughout the country! You're amazing! Alright. So, instead of behaving yourself, how about just making sure you are getting the rest and recuperation you need for fabulous healing, eh?

Darleen, what makes holidays hard, at times, is that they don't pan out as we'd like them to, yes? You have a gentle heart.

Midgie, enjoy your time at Rob's! Fingers crossed that you'll come home to an awesome report on your inspection!

Well, very excited! Thursday evening, 6:30pm SoCal time, we are having another online wine tasting! Two whites, two reds, very nice wines, however I could find none of the whites on the list, and only one of the reds listed ...but it's the most sought-after one, so I'm very glad I could pick it up. Very educational and always lots of fun!

Alrighty, will try to keep these brown eyes open for a little more gaming, but then it's sack time! Have a meeting in the morning before seeing patients, so I need to be there by 9am. So....

To all abed, To all awake,

Good morning Joe,Darlene

Good Morning Joe, Darlene and Cailyn. Hope you get to sleep in this weekend Joe. Darlene Have a fun time with the online wine tasting tonight! Cailyn how are you doing? Hope all is well with you.

Good morning all mt Diner buds. Joe, enjoy your day off. Ana, I'm sending prayers for BoBo. Darlene, I'm glad daughter's interview went well. L4L, I'm happy little Soot ate last night. Soot, will you be home soon? JennyP, prayers for Doughnut and hugs for you both. Karen, sending hugs your way. Take care and listen to mom. Cailyn, Gail, Gerry, and Blsbet have a Super day. To all who come in after me I hope your day is a Great one. Sandy is doing well. Finely heard from son last night. He will have to spend another 2 weeks in jail, so they can do an evaluation. He goes back to night court on the 2nd of Dec. He has a $1400 fine to pay. My guess is they are keeping him in jail as he has no money or anywhere else to stay. They don't want him skipping the state. I sure will be happy when this is all over and he is home safe. Cinnamon pecan rolls in the NC.

Auntie M have a great day down at Rob's fingers crossed for the inspection report. Let us know how it goes.

Hi Ya Gerry it has been great walking weather have you been out there? I went the last 2 days as I was off and want to squeeze in a nice brisk one today too.

Joey enjoy your day off. this is the end of my little vaca too I am soo bummed I could get used to being home.

Hi Cailyn how ya been?

Darlene how did your daughter's interview go? Have fun with the wine tasting

I have to finish my reports for my Mom this morning as there were some glitches yesterday that couldn't get resolved till late. At that point we were all fried and decided fresh eyes and minds this morning were best.

I want to spend most of my day upstaires cleaning my rooms and I purposely did laundry all week while I was doing the deep cleaning down here so now I have all that laundry to fold and put away.
Gonna watch some movies and tv while I do it!

My Mom is swinging by to help me hang a picture up that her Aunt gave me. It was always my favorite picture of hers and she surprised me by giving it to me for my birthday.

Just haven't had time to hang it since it got delivered on the truck from TX and everytime Marc goes to go upstaires he is just wiped and ready for bed. Soo at this rate it will never get done. My Mom offered to swing by and help me with it.

They gave me this ceramic rose garden that goes perfect with the picture as I always loved that too. She can't have it at the nursing home now and my Mom and her along with my Uncle in SATX decided that I should have it b/c I always loved it, roses are my favorite and that it goes with the picture. The 3 of them decided if Aunt P can't have it then it should be mine.

I was really touched but because it is soo fragile I can't have it down here with the 3 crazy cats. I put it upstaires on a table in my bed room and on that wall is where the picture is going to hang. Going to be beautiful.

Hallo everyone
It's grocery shopping day (with a side trip to Target )

Have done enough laundry for a few days.

Tenants? Tenants? It doesn't even seem as if I HAVE any tenants. They're pretty quiet. Work all day and don't come home till after dinner time. Sometimes I smell something YUMMY coming from the upstairs and an occasional walking about or a dlight thud but that's it.

Husband knows them. They're not into noise

Any coffee left?

Hugs to you Connie. I am soo sorry for your son and can only imagine how worried and nervous you are. Hopefully they are paying off his fine by time served.

Hi ya Gail thanks I can't wait to see what it looks like. I really can't say how much it means to be to be given such a gift. I went thru a period of feeling really guilty that it was given to me and not other people in the family. Got quite the stern lectures from my Mom, Aunt P and my Uncle. Soo I have accepted my treasure gracefully and intend to enjoy looking at it and remembering where it came from.

Are you going to go for a nice brisk walk? Looks like another gorgeous fall day in New England.

Hi ya Blsbet hope you have a fun time shopping..

Well one report is done so I am going to get some laundry started then work on the 2nd one. May have to make another pot of coffee. This one was soo delicious Marc and I already finished it off and I think I want a couple more cups.

Good morning. Another busy day here. I must stop and take a breath now and then. I think I need to make an appointment for Buddy this morning. He's limpimg again. I think it'
s his lyme desease kicking up again. He has a low grade lyms desease in his system all the time but every once in awhile he starts limping when it flares up so he'll need some meds to calm it down. Hopefully I'll be able to get him seen this morning as I won't be here this afternoon.

Morning everyone. I need to get in the shower now so I'll just say have a great day today. Karen it's so good to see you here. Take care.

Midgie

Good morning everyone.

I didn't sleep very well last night, and still have a very stiff neck.

I need to head out for Texas as soon as possible this morning so I can get over there and get back.

Got things to do.

joe

Good morn; working hard on waking up right now. Must seek out the coffee pot. Be back

G'morning Trippity. How are ya feeling today?

joe

Good Morning Boomers. Did you find the coffeepot Trippy? Just follow your nose. Hope you're feeling better today.

My nose is still drippy and I have a nagging cough, but I absolutely refused delivery of the cold that was trying to get a grip on me. I need to buy the industrial size bottles of hand sanitizer since I handle all that cash from the grubby little hands of the kids who pay to skate. I can't wash my hands because I'm allergic to water so I always carry hand sanitizer with me everywhere. Hint: Buy stock in Bath & Bodyworks because I think their earnings will jump considerably with all the bottles of sanitizer I bought last week.

Bravo Shell for providing a loving home for your Aunt's treasures. I'm sure she feels better knowing they are safe with you.

Glad to see you feel well enough to be feisty Karen. Wear your scar with pride! It means you're a survivor. The scar from the artificial disk in my neck looked terrible at first, but after a couple of years it's barely noticeable.

Hugs to all the Boomers who are going through difficult times right now. We need to take a time out and cuddle our pets - pet therapy always makes me feel better when the going gets tough.
