Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

70 year old George went for his annual physical. All of his tests came back with great results.

Dr. Smith said, "George everything looks great physically. How are you doing mentally, emotionally and are you at peace with your self and have a good relationship with God?"

George replied, "God and me are tight. We are so close that when I get up in the middle of the night, poof!...the light goes on & I go to the bathroom and then poof! the light goes off!"

"Wow," commented Dr. Smith, 'That's incredible!"

A little later in the day Dr. Smith called George's wife. 'Thelma," he said, "George is just fine. Physically he's great. But I had to call because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! The light goes on in the bathroom and then poof! the light goes off?'"

Thelma replied, "Darn fool! He's peeing in the fridge again!"

A new pastor moved into town and went out one Saturday to visit his parishioners.

All went well until he came to one house. It was obvious that someone was home, but no one came to the door even after he had knocked several times.

Finally, he took out his card and wrote on the back: Revelation 3:20 and stuck it in the door.

The next day, as he was counting the offering he found his card in the collection plate. Below his message was the notation Genesis 3:10.

Revelation 3:20 reads: "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me."

Genesis 3:10 reads: "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked."

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it.

He told them to go away and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in.

"OK, follow me" he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.

Down through the valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees.

Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked.

"Yes, Yes, Yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.

"Good" said the bat, "Because I sure as hell didn't!"

Once upon a time, there was a river. The Nile River, to be exact. On one side of the river lived the rabbit, and on the other side lived the bear.

One fine day, the bear was sitting on a stump, enjoying his breakfest of berries. Then he heard someone yelling at him. It was the rabbit.

"Hey! Hey, Teddy, get your butt over here. I've got something to show you!"

"Not now! I'm eating."

"Oh come on!" said the rabbit. "It's really important."

"No way."

"Please. It's urgent."

So the bear decided to go all the way over the wide river. It took him all day and all night to get over to the other side. He nearly drowned. And when he finally got there he was groaning and panting, and wheezing for air.

"Well, rabbit," he panted. "What did you want to tell me?"

"Hey, Teddy," the rabbit began, "look how many berries are on the other side of the river."

The Wolf Man comes home one day from a long day at the office. "How was work, dear?" his wife asks.

"Listen! I don't want to talk about work!" he shouts.

"Okay. Would you like to sit down and eat a nice home cooked meal?" she asks nicely.

"Listen!" he shouts again. "I'm not hungry! I don't wanna eat! All right! Is that all right with you? Can I come home from work and just do my own thing without you forcing food down my throat? Huh?"

At this moment, the wolf man started growling, and throwing things around the apartment in a mad rage.

Looking out the window, his wife sees a full moon and says to herself, "Great, it's that time of the month again."

A man walks into a very posh Rodeo Drive furrier with a gorgeous blonde on his arm.

"Show the lady your finest mink!" the fellow exclaims. So the owner of the
shop goes in the back and comes out with an absolutely gorgeous full-length coat.

As the lady tries it on, the furrier sidles up to the guy and discreetly
whispers,

"Ah, sir, that particular fur goes for
$65,000."

"No problem! I'll write you a check!"

"Very good, sir." says the shop owner.

"Today is Saturday. You may come by on Monday to pick it up, after the check has cleared."

So the man and the woman leave. On Monday, the fellow returns. The store owner is outraged: "How dare you
show your face in here?! There wasn't a single penny in your checking account!!"

"I just had to come by," grinned the guy, "to thank you for the most wonderful weekend of my life!"

The racehorse owner was annoyed with the running of his horse at the race.

He turned on the jockey.

"Flaherty, could you not have raced faster?"

"Sure I could have, but you know we are supposed to stay on the horse."

Good Booming morning everyone!

I think I died Monday so this must be Tombsday.

It's also Friday for me, WOOT!

What does woot mean anyway? Why Only One Taco?

I could understand that, because I have to have at least two tacos, and a burrito when I eat at Taco Bell. I couldn't understand anyone eating only one taco.

So whenever you see me use you know I'm wondering "Why only one?"

Man! I'd like to have one of those tacos now come to think of it.

I mean two of course.....

Anybody else want a taco? I'm gonna make a run to TB.

Happy Tuesday everyboomie.

joe

Wishing a great day to all who enter. Slowly dragging myself over to the corner for awhile with my Danish and coffee.

Hello Gerry!

I’ll take Cinnamon coffee… without the cake. Thanks

Happy day to you too Gail.

Temps dropped even more today. Shiver shiver…

Terrific Tuesday Ya'll

I'm up early (for me) as I have a PT appointment in a bit. I often don't hear alarms when I'm sleeping well, so hubby rolled me out before he left. Body is up...brain is struggling.

Joe, Woot stands for We Only Own Today, or perhaps Whacky Orange Organic Ties

Haroula, hope the shot didn't hurt and everyone is all smiles now.

Cailyn, I see you were up either very late or very very early. How are you?

Evelyne, do you have good things planned?

Gerry, I think Taz has had too much caffiene.

Connie, so glad to hear hubby is feeling a bit better. You be sure and take care of yourself please.

Gail, I'll join you in the corner.

Good morning Haroula, Cailyn, Evie, Gerry, Connie Gail, L4L, and everybody.

How is everyone this morning?

It's cloudy and cold here this morning, so I probably won't pursue my latest obsession before going to work.

The forcast is for more of the same, so it doesn't look good for my two days off either.

Haroula I after shots too.

Cailyn have a great day.

You're married Evie???

Thank you! "gush"

Gerry how is your weather?

Connie I'm glad your hubby is feeling better this week.

Gail you're having two tacos for lunch right?

L4L we only own today sounds good. I thought it might be "we're out of toiletpaper".

joe

Good morning looney, hope all goes well at the Docs! Fingers crossed! I did a very complicated ceramic piece this morning in my studio. Hubby had to lend me his two arms, 10 fingers and 1 foot (no, no, he has 2 feet but I needed only the one...). This evening I'll go to my neighbour to fill her kiln with my finished pieces. I'd love to have a kiln of my own...

Hugs to you and Soot

Evelyne

Awww Joe was sneaking in while I clicked submit. Good morning Joe

Nan

Good morning Diners! It's snowing out there but only enough to make things white. My Tabata strength class was brutal this morning and I will definitely need to get out and hike with the dogs to stretch things out. THe rest of day will be working on my project.

Joe, when we do TBell at my house everyone eats at leat 6 tacos if they are the regular ones. Too bad there is only about a tablespoon of real meat in there.

Haroula, hope the shot went well and your little one is a happy camper now.

Sue, you are getting up way too early again!

Gerry, have a great day!

Connie, I am so glad hubby is doing better with this round. How many more to go?

Gail, hope it's a gaming day for you.

Evelyn, your ceramics are so beautiful. I think you need to build a kiln in your house so you do not have to transport your delicate pieces.
You will have to wait in line for Joe, I was first.

L4L, what are you going to PT for?

Darlene, safe skooshing!

Nan, safe travels out there. I hope you find time for yourself today.

Ana

Evie now I'm picturing you and your hubbie sitting and forming a clay pot as it spins around with the Righteous Brothers singing in the background. That ought to generate some heat.

Darlene I hope your day is a super one.

Good morning Nan. Enjoy your Taco Tuesday.

Ana we've only had one morning of snow that melted off right away, all Winter.

Enjoy your workout. We'll go have a half dozen or so tacos later ok?
