When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


MY LAST TRIP TO WALMART

Yesterday I was at my local Walmart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Fred, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had an elephant?

On impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is, to load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stopped to pee on a fire hydrant and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Walmart won't let me shop there anymore!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the check-out counters had a sign that said "eight items or less". So I changed my name to Les.
Author unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wife: "What are you doing?"
Husband : Nothing.
Wife : "Nothing...? You've been reading our marriage
certificate for an hour."
Husband : "I was looking for the expiration date."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.
A man didn't come home 1 night. The next morning he told his wife that he had slept over at a friends house. The wife called her husband's 10 best friends. 8 of them confirmed that he had slept over and 2 said he was still there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man in a pub asks for a beer.
The barman says, "Sure, that'll be one quarter."
"One quarter?" exclaims the man. Reading the menu, he says, "Could I have steak and chips?"
"Certainly," says the barman, "that'll be one dollar."
"One dollar?" cries the man. "You're joking. Where's the guy who owns this place?"
The barman says, "Upstairs, with my wife"."
The man says, "What's he doing upstairs with your wife?"
The barman says, "The same thing I'm doing to his business."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A blond and her husband are lying in bed listening to the next door neighbor's dog. It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours.
The blond jumps up out of bed and says, "I've had enough of this".
She goes downstairs.
The blond finally comes back up to bed and her husband says, "The dog is still barking,
What have you been doing?"
The blond says, "I put the dog in our backyard, let's see how THEY like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three women are out clubbing and they spot a club that says, "Women Only."
Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
The first floor has a sign on the door that reads, "All men here are short and plain."
The women laugh and continue up to the second floor.
The sign reads, "All men here are tall and plain."
Still this isn't good enough, and the women proceed to the third floor.
"All men here are short and handsome."
The women still want more and go to the fourth floor, where the sign reads, "All men here are tall and handsome."
This is perfect and the women are preparing to go in, when they realize that there is still one more floor.
They go up one floor and read the sign. "There are no men here. This floor is built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little boy was so exited because his mom told him he is getting a baby brother.
He repeated that to his teacher every day, when he came to school, "I'm getting a brother."
One day his mom allowed him to feel the baby's kicks in her belly.
The next day he came to school and didn't say anything to his teacher, so the teacher asked him, what happened to his brother.
He replied, "I think mommy ate him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John is paying a visit to his Italian neighbor in the hospital, who just had a very serious traffic accident. He doesn't look like very much: in plaster, completely wrapped in a bandage, tons of hoses and infusions. he looks like a mummy. John tries to have a conversation, but his neighbor has his eyes closed and isn't responding. Suddenly his eyes jump wide open and he starts to gurgle and during his last gasp for air he says:
"Mi stai bloccando il d'tubicino ossigeno, Pezzo di merda ...."
John inscribes the words in his heart.
At the funeral John tells the black-clad widow that her husband had something to say.
'And, she asks with tearful eyes,"was it that he loved me? "
"I do not know," said the man, "but it sounded like Mi stai bloccando il d'tubicino ossigeno, pezzo di merda ...."
The widow screams and faints.
"What?" John ask startled to the daughter, "what did he say, what does that mean?" And the crying daughter says:
"You are standing on my oxygen hose, you idiot."
~~~~~~~~~

Hi Karen, it's good to read your posts again -keep them comming. Will Bella feel badly if you get another doggy but maybe she'll like the company. Enjoy your day.

Well "gosh darn" times three. The icecream is gone and was it good. The Picoso's hot peanuts are front stage now but the can is small so they won't last very long. The peanuts are grown and processed in TEXAS. yippee

Cats had an eeeaaarrrly breakfast and are gone -the house is so quiet as I'm the only one in it. Even if there's a kit sleeping inside it's noisy.

I'm reading about a serial killer, Edward Wayne Edwards, who had a most fascinating life. I live that kind through games but his was reality.

I wiped out my 1st post so better hit submit Now

Yup Karen, our local animal shelter is only 3 blocks away. I think they know me well. Over the years I've taken so many deceased cats there and listed a few missing ones of my own. Also called them a million times for free roaming dogs, hurt possums and then of course Penelope the Peacock fiasco. They tried to help me catch her, but now she's one of the 'gang'. They have lots of animals for adoption. Sad to walk through because I want to take them all home with me. I have to avoid cute animals.

All my lightbulbs are burning out at the same time. Guess it's because I put them in at the same time. Lost 4 in the last week. Went to buy more (4-7 watt big base for mood lighting) and found none. Ended up with a LED which only uses 3.5 watts. Nice but too bright for my lighting scheme. Have to go to another Wally Mart today to hope to find the others I usually use. Everything is going LED now and I need just a touch of light not 25 or more watt brightness. Progress is ruining my ambiance!

Quiet day again in the neighborhood. Last night a huge, cab over camper shell on a pick up truck parked down the block. After dark, about 8 or more people were gathered around it trying to open the back access door. They had a flashlight and it was weird. I have no idea if they owned it, had visitors who lost a key or what. Eventually they all left. Could have been a 'drop' vehicle for transporting 'immigrants' North. We used to have a neighbor behind us who took in about 15-20 a night and then a van would pull up, everyone would run out of the house into the van and off they went. It still happens regularly since we are close to the border, but haven't seen one in this neighborhood lately. If it's back today, I'll know it's out of town visitors and nothing suspicious. sherlock

Good morning y'all.

It is hot already, in the upper 80's already.

Well, it is now time to get serious about looking for a Corgi puppy. May take us awhile but we will eventually find one. Want a little girl this time. Okay Cory, you gotta be nice to her.

Not much going on today, did get a haircut this morning and have orchestra tonight. Nothing scheduled for this afternoon.

Have a good day everyone.

Bets


Corgis fill your life with Joy, your heart with Love, and your soul with Sunshine.

Hello everybody. wave

I haven't done a lot today. I did some laundry, and I went out and started sweeping out the shop, which is very dirty. By the time I was done with that I was soaked and leaking out of every pore. shocked

I came in and cooled of, ate some lunch, played BioShock for a while, and then went to Walmart for groceries, and I just finished putting them up. bravo

That's it. duh

I sure hope you are all having a great day. yes

Karen it's good to see you on the board. That little cutie is my grandniece. thumbsup

She's a little angel.........most of the time. lol

Back from the Dr. He is soooo handsome and I swear he gets younger every time I see him. He wanted to do some 'routine' tests but after I mentioned that Medicare will charge me 150 bucks for the routine, he decided I didn't need that one and found a free way to do it. Nice. Then over to the lab where I pay a flat rate no matter how many tests they do. So I suggested he do a complete blood panel and save me some money. He did. I think the Vampires drained all my blood. Probably won't have to see him anytime soon. Haven't seen him for at least 3 years! Wow. Guess Urgent Care and computer 'diagnosis' and mail order pills are keeping me from spending money for visits. He also told me about a little known 'phone exam' when I get my usual UTI's so I pay nothing and just have to get my pills at the pharmacy. Not everyone qualifies but I KNOW my symptoms and am right on point so he's willing to let me do that. So easy! He's awesome.
