If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
David Brent
~~~~~~~~~~~


A man and wife entered a dentist's office.

The Wife said, "I want a tooth pulled. I don't want gas or Novocain because I'm in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible."

You're a brave woman said the dentist. Now, Show me which tooth it is.

The wife turns to her husband and says "Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An 80-year old man was having his annual checkup and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?"

The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day, he went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun."

The doctor continued, "So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle."

"And do you know what happened?" the doctor queried.

Dumbfounded, the old man replied, "No."

The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him!"

"That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot that bear."

"That's kind of what I'm getting at," replied the doctor.

Murphy's Flight Laws
No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to make the flight.

If you are running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate in the terminal.

If you arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed.

Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.

If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence just as soon as you touch pen to paper.

If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers.

Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the washroom.

The crying baby on board your flight is always seated next to you.

The best-looking woman on your flight is never seated next to you.

The less carry-on luggage space available on an aircraft, the more carry-on luggage passengers will bring aboard

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was trudging through the Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried towards it, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling ties.

The Taliban asked, Do you have water?

The Jewish man replied, I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.

The Taliban shouted, Infidel! I do not need an over-priced tie! I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!

OK, OK said the old Jewish man, It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom.

Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead. Your IDIOT BROTHER won't let me in without a tie!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First year students at Medical School were receiving Their first anatomy class with a real dead human body.
They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine,it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you should not be disgusted by anything involving the human body."

The Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the anus of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth.

"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students initially freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually
took turns sticking a finger in the anus of the corpse and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at the class and told them,
"The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger but sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two married men are in a pub discussing their love life when one says, "Have you ever tried playing doctor?"

His mate says, "No what's it like?"

The man replies, "It's amazing me and my wife were playing for the whole of last night must of been about 10 hours."

His mate, shocked says, "10 hours!? How the heck did you manage that long?"

"I just left her in waiting room for 9 and a half hours."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning everyone. welcome

My wife and I played Doctor, only I was always the patient. blush

She always gave me a diagnosis of terminal stupidity. shocked

Since I married her, I did not need a second opinion. slapforehead

Ok I had my snow day with the fire place going all day. Probably won't get any more snow for another 3 years . smirk

It was.........cool. penguin

After work today I'm going into battle, with all the 'other' idiots at Walmart, for some bread and milk. taz

Wish me luck. I hope I don't lose an arm or a hand. insane

I hope you all have a happy day.

Remember Pearl Harbor


(Dec. 7, 1941) Surprise aerial attack by the Japanese on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on Oahu island, Hawaii, that precipitated U.S. entry into World War II. In the decade preceding the attack, U.S.-Japanese relations steadily worsened, especially after Japan entered into an alliance with the Axis powers (Germany and Italy) in 1940, and by late 1941 the U.S. had severed practically all commercial and financial relations with Japan. On November 26 a Japanese fleet sailed to a point some 275 mi (440 km) north of Hawaii, and from there about 360 planes were launched. The first dive-bomber appeared over Pearl Harbor at 7:55 (local time) and was followed by waves of torpedo planes, bombers, and fighters. Due to lax reconnaissance and the fact that many vessels were undermanned since it was a Sunday morning, the base was unable to mount an effective defense. The Arizona was completely destroyed; the Oklahoma capsized; the California, Nevada, and West Virginia sank; more than 180 aircraft were destroyed; and numerous vessels were damaged. In addition, more than 2,300 military personnel were killed. The date which will live in infamy, as U.S. Pres. Franklin Roosevelt termed it, unified the American public and swept away any earlier support of neutrality. On Dec. 8, 1941, Congress declared war on Japan.

Super Saturday ya'll puppy

Sitting here watching Christmas movies, sipping coffee, and surfing. Boys aren't going to be here this weekend. Son will be leaving for work this afternoon early, and the boys were not coming til late morning. Change was made as we were not sure If I'd have a car to do my Friday pick up runs. Soot and I have play tickets tomorrow so we couldn't watch them while son is at work. So it was more sensible to have them stay home this weekend.

It's still warm out, but I do remember the weatherman saying cold weather is coming. We need to get some wood so we can enjoy the fireplace. Not going to call the guy we got it from last year...he came on time and stacked it, but it was all green. Burns well this year but not last. I always specifically ask for 'seasoned wood.' I always ask again before I pay, so will take my business elswhere.

I'll meet you at WalMart Joe! I've got to get some cat food. Darn darn. Hate going to REAL stores this time of year. Ugh. Maybe the 2 of us can team up and fight them off? rotfl

Outdoorsies have now decided to NOT eat their regular food, but instead eat the leftovers from Bubba (the ailing cat) which are so much more yummy because they have GRAVY. They are turning up their noses at the regular wet food and rushing my back door. ONE even came INSIDE! Had to catch her and scoot her back out. I guess I'm going to have to get to WalMart quickly before they go on a hunger strike.

Bubba the ailing cat is holding his own. Got some snuggling last night as we watched TV, slept happily on the warm TV security monitor all day and early this morning. Night he slept on his 'bed' on the couch with the sheet and a nice fluffy pad. Somewhere in the night he ate more of the wet gravy food. We are off the morning and evening feeding schedule because I want him to have something when he wanders out to the food area. Hope he eats a ton. He has gained a bit of weight so I'm encourged, but his back legs are still weak and wobbly. Even so he continues to jump up on the table to get to the TV (sometimes it's a slip and miss but he makes it). Gotta give him credit.

Off to check on all the critters and see what's going on out front. I hear clunking and thunking. Probably that lady with the Cadillac who parked, you guessed it, right in front of my house all night yesterday. She left at 9:45. I think she's 'working off' her drug buy from the dealer. She kept telling the other lady that "I only want to be friends!". Guess he's got different ideas. Such fun.

Fine post about December 7 1941, Thank you, Joe -we must never forget. I always read our history on this day. I was little but I remember the gold star flags in windows and asking about them and there were many. And our city was small, Tonawanda, New York.

Terrible cold here in south central Texas -let's all move to L4's. Pray it doesn't get as cold there as it is here right now. The kits have cabin fever and I have the litter box blues. They drive me wild in the AM's and then they all find a warm cozy place to sleep. Today I've let the linen closet door open and this is popular right now. Doggy seems to like these temps.

On 2nd thought L4 if it gets cold there I'll bring marshmallows and cocoa.

Happy Saturday all

I have to fly but here is my story of this morning's adventure as I posted on FB:

True Story...if you don't believe, I can't blame you one bit because if I wouldn't have witnessed it I would be skeptical myself.

I took the dogs for their daily hike in the woods this morning and it was a chilly 8 degrees and quiet from the usual animal sightings. I didn't see Merlin for a couple minutes and he didn't come when I beeped his collar so I backtracked to find him. I saw him sniffing a log through the trees very intently and he wasn't moving. I finally yelled at him to get going and when I did I startled him and the Skunk he was bonding with. Sitting atop the log was a big fluffy skunk and they were getting along like old friends. Merlin had his face in his fur and I thought he was sniffing a scent on the log because his face covered the white stripe. THankfully Pepe le Pew ran off in the opposite direction of me and he made no attempt to stink and Merlin had no intention on chasing him.

I wonder since they are both black and white do you think they thought they were related? If only that would happen in my yard when they encounter each other. Life is always full of wonders and I am thrilled to have witnessed one .

Have a great day!

Hi Boomers! I have sure missed being here but my silly back is still giving me fits...sometimes takes three weeks or more to snap out of it. Ana, what a shot that would have made. It's because Merlin is so special and Pepe knows this. Can't sit in this chair very long before the spasms start. I guess I could access GB on my tablet. Never thought of that. It has kept me more or less occupied along with my books. I sure hope this cold snap ends soon.I know it is much colder for most of you. Stay warm and safe and Happy Gaming!! wave

Well, the cold weather finally found us. I'm still sitting around in shorts/t-shirts but if I go out the door, I will have to change. winter

Ana, that is amazing. Maybe they were on neutral territory.

My sister and brother-in-law once had a dog that tried to make friends with skunks, but it never worked. The dog got sprayed. He also met a porcupine and came home once with a nose full of quills. He groaned as my sister pulled them out. Sadly, he didn't come when my dad tried to call him away from a rattlesnake. He tried to sniff the snake which bit him in the face. The dog died.

Guybrush, I remember watching a Dog Whisperer where Cesar observed that dogs in America don't recognize snakes as dangerous.

I had an experience a few years back when I heard my dogs barking in the back yard, but the bark wasn't "right." So I dashed out to see, and holy moly, they all had surrounded a snake who was coiled to strike. I think the reason it didn't was because it was surrounded.

My challenge was to pull 4 dogs off the snake without getting struck or further scaring the snake. puppy
