relationship. It's titled: 'Women are from Venus, Men are Wrong.'" - Unknown

There is a new study out about women. I thought these results were pretty interesting.

85% of women think their a-- has grown too big since getting married..

10% of women think their a-- is just as big as it was when they got married..

The other 5% say that they don't care, they love him and would have married him anyway.

No longer needed. Got married last weekend. Wife knows everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Husband and wife are getting all snugly in bed. The passion is heating up.

But then the wife stops and says, "I don' t feel like it. I just want you to hold me."

The husband says " WHAT???" The wife explains that he must not be in tune with her emotional needs as a woman.

The husband realizes that nothing is going to happen tonight and he might as well deal with it.

So the next day the husband takes her shopping at a big dept. store. He walks around and had her try on three very expensive outfits. And then tells his wife, We 'll take all three of them. Then goes over and gets matching shoes worth $200 each.

And then goes to the jewelry Dept. and gets a set of diamond earrings. The wife is so excited (she thinks her husband has flipped out, but she does not care). She goes for the tennis bracelet.

The husband says "but you don 't even play tennis, but OK if you like it then lets get it.'

The wife is jumping up and down. So excited she cannot even believe what is going on. She says " I am ready to go, lets go to the cash register. "

The husband says, " no no no, honey we're not going to buy all this stuff." The wife face goes blank.

" No honey - I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while."

Her face gets really red she is about to explode and then the husband says " You must not be in tune with my financial needs as a MAN!"

In a small town in the US, there is a rather sizable factory that hires only married men.

Concerned about this, a local woman called on the manager and asked him, "Why is it you limit your employees to married men? Is it because you think women are weak, dumb, cantankerous..or what?"

"Not at all, Ma'am," the manager replied. "It is because our employees are used to obeying orders, are accustomed to being shoved around, know how to keep their mouths shut and don't
pout when I yell at them."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.

However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks.

The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"

"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

Good morning everyboomie.

Friday for you. Cryday for me.

Not really bad though. I work Fri, Sat, Sun, and off Mon, & Tue.

I am concerned about going out at all though, after what I found out yesterday.

I read that the number one cause of loss of life in men my age is death.

I happen to be that age now.

I also heard that a red blinking nose contributes something to it.


I hope you all have a happy day.

joe

I hope I can hold my water while I sleep tonight.

Morning boom boom Buddies

Hi Joe~ How ya doing/ did you sleep well?

We are suppose to get snow for 3 or 4 days!!

THanks for the chuckles Joe! I hope your workday goes quickly.

Doc, it's snowing here too. We already have almost 6 inches already. It's pretty!

I am doing my morning weight clas, shoveling, working on my project and then making chicken parmesan for my BIL coming in from Jersey for dinner. Then it's back to project land.

Have a happy day everyone!

Ana

I hope you get some down time for you! Cailyn I'm happy to join you in the naughty corner for coffee and danish! A get day wished for everyone!

Good morning. Thanks Joe for opening yet again for all of us. Where would we be without you? Morning Karen, Ana , Sue, Gerry, Gail, when you come in and all who follow me in the diner. I have an early work shift this morning, then I have the rest of the day off. We still have fog and drizzle here, but no snow yet. Man we've been very lucky (sorry Ana). Time to make the donuts Have a great Friday all. Please find a little time to exercise today. Good.

Midgie

Good Morning Boomers

Joe, not a bad work schedule.

Ana, you got snow so you must be happy.

Cailyn, Danish and coffee? Woo Hoo.

Karen, hope the weather report is wrong. That's too much snow.

Gerry, after the October falling of all the great white fluff I'm not looking forward to any more.

Connie, how's hubby doing?

Midgie, have a great day when you come in.

Nan, wishing you a great day when you come in.

To all who visit the Diner today I'm wishing a wonderful day!

Good morning everyone. Gail, so far hubby is doing good. Thanks for all the prayers and positive vibes. All of a sudden our drug program wants a $230 co pay instead of a $75 one every 3 weeks for hubby's nausea meds. That's for 3 pills. The nurse is trying to get the drug company to help out. Not sure what is on the agenda for the day. It is going to be cooler, but only in the low 60's. To all here and all that follow, have a Wonderful TGIF. Cinnamon buns and Bacon sandwiches in the NC.

Good morning everyone.

We still have snow on the ground. We were lucky and only got 1.5 inches. Doing my usual Friday work and also going to get in some housework today. Friends coming over for dinner tomorrow night so want to get some things done today. Also, need to go to Sam's.

Sounds like some good food in the NC. Think I will go look before L4L gets there.

Have a great day everyone.

Bets

Happy Friday Everybody!! May it be the best ever!!

Joe thanks for the chuckles this morning. Nice schedule there......3 on and 2 off! May work fly and all o well.

Ana hope you are enjoying the new fallen snow. Be careful when out and about. Hope the project moves right along so you can go skiing but then I'm sure you will fit the skiing in one way or the other.

Cailyn no snow here either, just the cold. Was a whopping 5 out there this morning but now it is 10. Have a lovely day.

Gerry any fun plans for the day? Have a good one.

Karen 3 days of snow???? Hope it is just little tiny flakes so it doesn't amount to too much. Have a lovely day!

Gail poor kids don't get to use those "snow days" But then February and March aren't here yet and who knows what they have in store for us. Have a lovely day!

Midge only one shift is good. Have fun with the extra time off. May work fly and be fun!

Connie glad hubby is still doing OK! HUGS! Prayers that the drug company can do something about the med price. That is just not right. If that is the co-pay I hate to think of what the full pay is. Have a wonderful day!

Bets have fun with all the Friday chores. Sounds like a fun time tomorrow, enjoy!! Be careful in the snow and the new set of wheels.

No plans till taxi time.


Nan

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! Have a tremendous TGIF!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies! Have a wonderful day!

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!

Oh Connie, how awful that the drug company is charging so much for needed medication! Hope they do something for you. Won't hurt to ask. Most medical plans have a place to call to ask for help if you are low income or just plain in need.

Today is the Arraignment for our Sweetwater School District officials. 5 are being arraigned for fraud, corruption, bribery, perjury, etc., charges. It's major news here and I know all the parties involved. Could use some extra prayers that the guilty are punished and the innocent are absolved. The guilty are looking at 4-7 years in prison. It's just starting, more heads to roll in the future as the investigation continues. Last night they suspended 7 cafeteria workers (mostly one family) for stealing and selling food from the job! Tip of the ice burg around here. Wow.

Last night I cooked up my first New York steak that was my birthday present from my friend (100 bucks worth of prime meats) and it was soooo good, I'm still savoring the yummy taste. Tender, flavorful. Didn't even need any 'sauce' and I was really greedy when the indoorsies started begging for a taste. They got a microscopic tidbit and that was it. They were unhappy and I was in heaven. Can't wait to cook another one soon. Only 3 New York's left, but I still have 4 filet mignon and 8 top sirloin's to go. Glorious!

Off to find breakfast and then more cleaning out of closets and drawers.

Good morning ya'll

It is bright and sunny and blue, but brrrrrrrr....it's cold out there and there is a hard wind that makes it much worse. I'll be inside today.

Lil Soot is doing better. Off the pain pills. Now the hard part...keeping him from playing, running etc for the next 10 days. He should have slept in his own bed last night, but he grumbled when he was put in and hubby let him up on the bed. He will get by with that tonight too as the kids will still be here and we don't want to wake them up. However, Saturnight will be a different story. The boys will be gone (supposedly) and he will just have to grumble.



Sir Skywalker is so sad. We have the dog door locked so that Lil Soot doesn't get outside without his cone of shame on, or when the other dogs are out.

Doc, love the Mojo pic!

I'm hopefully finishing paying the bills today. The site was down for maintenance yesterday. I'm not sure what else is on the agenda, but I'm sure something will crop up.

Back later

Good afternoon everyone! I got up and shoveled out areas for the birds so I could feed them and the squirrels, then went and did my weights class, dusted and vacuumed the house and then went right to work. So many things to do, so little time. I sent the boys out to shovel the driveway and walkways. I did it yesterday but we got more snow.

I hope you all have a fantabulous Friday the 13th! It's my wedding anniversary today but it's like any other day.

Ana

Happy Anniversary Ana.

Ana Happy Anniversary!!!! Hope the project is moving right along.

Well time to get ready so the taxi can run. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening all!


Nan

Howdy everybody.

It's a gorgeous day here, and when I got home I took Baby out for a romp. We ent down to the creek, and Baby had a blast running up and down the creek.

Now she's worn out and sleeping on the couch, and I'm showered and fed.

I have another early morning tomorrow but at 6:00 instead of 5:00.

joe

Welcome to the weekend Boomers.

Hmmmmm....Lil Soot has been happily sleeping on the bed with me til we came down to get food a few minutes ago. Then I noticed he was trembling and he didn't eat. I wonder if he got out when hubby brought him downstairs a bit ago?

Ana happy anniversary my friend. Did you go out to eat at least? I hope you have many many more anniversaries. L4L I hope Lil Soot is OK.

Well my day went OK. I worked this morning, then had the rest of the day off. Actually my day started off not so good. As I was backing up to turn around I hit the railing. I called my Insurance Co and he said my landlady should get an estimate of the damage before I decide if I should pay it or have my insurance pay it. I don't want my insurance to go up so I'll wait and see how much it is. It was a foolish mistake on my part. My mind was somewhere else. Dumb.

Night all. See you in the morning.

Midgie

Happy Anniversary Ana.

L4L, you may already know, but when a dog shakes it's usually a sign of pain. Sure hope he'll be ok.
Do you have anything like Rimadyl?

Been a long day, but the short of it is I did get some housework done. Still taking it slow since I'm still having low back/hip pain but I think it's getting better.

Wish all a wonderful eve.

Aw L4l poor Lil Soot. Hope he will be OK.

Trippy prayers that the back gets better soonest.

Midge hopefully it will be a quick and inexpensive fix for the rail.

Taxi home and parked for the night.


Nan

L4L, gentle hugs to lil soot. The poor puppy.

Nan, glad you got home safely. The project is far from done but moving along.

Trippy, sorry the meds aren't working fully for your back. I hope you can get it under control.

Midgie, sorry you had a accident. I hope it isn't expensive.
I had my BIL from NJ here for dinner so I made my chicken parmesan. The family was thrilled because it's one of their favorites. I did not eat it but they all had big heaping seconds and raved so I am happy.

Connie, thank you!

SpaceQ, hope your day was great!

Joe, my dogs would be in heaven living on your property!

back to the corner for me.

Home, fed, NCIS'd....

Ana, Happy Anniversary!

Off to see what's afoot!
