"Playing dead not only comes in handy when face to face with a bear, but also at important business meetings." Jack Handey ~~~~~~~~~~ I wonder why they don't have an image of Jack Handy at Quote World. I think he's very camra shy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute. "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?" The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?" Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no." The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?" The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again. "or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!" The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..." On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The plumber presented his customer, a lawyer, with a bill charging rates of $500 an hour. The lawyer was outraged, saying "I don't even make that kind of money - doesn't that seem a bit steep?" The plumber replied, "That's what I thought, when I was a lawyer." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any time a lawyer is seen and not heard, it's a shame to wake him. Changing lawyers is like moving to a different deck chair on the Titanic. Having lawyers make laws is like having doctors make diseases. A lawyer's job is secure - who would build a robot to do nothing? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There's a true story about a convicted con man who was recently found to be impersonating a lawyer in New York City. To which the judge remarked, "I should have suspected he wasn't a lawyer. He was always so punctual and polite." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Children who never come when called will grow up to be doctors. Children who come before they are called will grow up to be lawyers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good morning everyboomie. I think that's enough lawyer jokes..........for one day. Wouldn't want anyone to think I was picking on lawyers. Let's see, what day is this? Oh yes, the day after yesterday. Has it been a week already?? The best thing about today, I think, is that it's the day before tomorrow, and tomorrow, in case you don't know, is Monday. I'm happy about that, I guess, because................ ................I have no idea why I’m happy about that. Maybe it’s because I love the Turtles. Because if I’m happy about it, then you’ll be happy about it, and then we’ll all be Happy Together. I kill me. Have a happy day together everyone. joe

Super Sunday ya'll We are having a family down day. Our biggest challenge will be keeping the dogs from eating the food that son brings down to the den for the kids who are supposed to be eating in the kitchen at the island. It sounds like many of you have busy days planned though. I'm still feeling awfully sleepy. If my next cup of coffee doesn't jump start my body, I'm going back to bed.

Happy wet Sunday to all. It started raining late yesterday. Wheeee. Weatherman was right for a change. Just dripping now. All outdoorsies present and accounted for even if they are a bit damp. Leg (was not working right yesterday) seems to have recovered. Still a little spasm on inner side but at least I can move it. Geez. That was weird. I'm thinking that the way I was lying on my side on my OLD couch must have crimped a nerve. Gonna try it again today and 'prove' my theory. Hate all those nerves and bulging discs. For sure gonna make a doc appointment. Two houses across and down the street, which usually have tons of cars and lots of people going in and out are very suspicious yesterday and today. BOTH had NO cars or people around from early Saturday until at 11 pm, one car showed up and one light went on in one house. Other house, nada. So this morning, other house has the usual cars there and saw the guy, but the other, all cars still missing (there are usually 5 or 6) and the one who came in last night and turned on the light is also gone again. Wondering what is going on when for months (since they moved in) it's been constant cars and people and most with babies or toddlers. We think they run a day care, no signs, people come and go at all hours and some only stay for a very short time. Strange indeed. Something weird about that crew. But now, nothing happening, no cars, no kids. I'm thinking perhaps one or more got caught up in a 'drug bust' that the police had on Friday? Rounded up about 75 in a year long sting operation. Could be they are all in hiding. We shall see. Just too much traffic over there from day one. Off for a walk in the rain. Should be fun. Gonna check up on those huge machines that are there for tomorrow's big asphalt chopping extravaganza.
WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Good Morning Boomies. It is a busy life around here but maybe slowing down just a bit. It is cold and wet here today, a perfect day for gaming but I? alas will be peeling and coring apples, haha. I will either dehydrate or freeze them. Hope everyone has a cozy, toasty warm day and Happy Gaming!!! Edit....Where is Ana??

Lotus Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Good afternoon boomies! I was suffering from a sugar coma this morning so I went back to bed instead of going to the dance fund raiser I was supposed to go to. I know why I stay away from sugar and this morning was a refresher course. I am off to the river with the dogs now. I finally decided it was time to move. Have a happy day! I shall return.

Hey L4, this AM I saved another gecko and this one is the big mother of all of them. She slithered under an overstuffed chair that's near the opened front door. So I moved the chair toward the door and with a broom I kinda scooted her out and she scampered away. While chair moving there emerged a little orange............toy mouse. But let me tell you -it scared the daylights out of me. hahaha
Beauty day today. Also the tomato plants -now there are 7 of them. Will plant some outdoors and nurture them along. The cold I can manage with row cover but grasshoppers -another story. They should die out soon but will emerge again in spring.
Puppy and I checked mailbox this AM and no Doom yet. Maybe Tuesday AM. And to all you KillZone afficianatos -Again I finished KZ2 and the Visari they shot definately does not have green eyes like the one in the beginning of the game. Visari had a ringer. After Doom arrives I'll be waiting for KZ4 and PS4.
When I was a kid I had an arrowhead collection, probably Iroquois(western NY) and when we moved to Grand Island I threw them back into thew woods. I often think about them.
Enjoy you Su nday all

Back from work shift. Just relaxing now. Tomorrow I have another split shift. Hope you all had a great day. I'm looking forward to my next day off....which will be Wednesday. I go see my Mom that day. It'll be good to see her. She'll have an evaluation on that day. I'll have my older sister on phone conference, and my other sister with me along with my Mom. It should go like the last evaluation 3 months ago. My Mom is slipping and I know I'm losing her. . It's hard. saying good night now. See you in the AM. Midgie
Just do it.
