Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.
Helen Keller (1880 - 1968), My Religion, 1927
Don't worry if you're a kleptomaniac, you can always take something for it.

A wee guy was sitting at a bar staring at his drink for ages. Suddenly, a big biker came along, snatched his glass, guzzled down the contents and laughed, "Hah! So what you gonna do about that, little man?"
"Nothing," sighed the little guy despondently. "You see, today has been the worst day of my life. This morning I overslept and was late for an important meeting. My boss was furious and so he sacked me. I cleared my desk, went to my car, only to discover that it wasn't there - somebody had stolen it. So I got a taxi home, but when it came to paying the driver I realised I'd forgotten my wallet. I then went into my house and I found my wife in bed with the gardener. So I left home and came to this bar. And just when I was thinking about ending it all, you came along and drank my poison..."

There was a guy walking down the street in San Fransisco, and he tripped over an old looking oil lamp. He picked it up and hid it under his jacket, because he thought it was priceless. While he was running to the antique shop to cash this puppy in, it rubbed against his shirt. *POOF* A genie popped out of his pocket!!!
The very angry looking Genie said, ''Alright, I have had enough with this three wish stuff, and 'cuz you stole me away from my HBO Special, I will only give you one wish!''
The suprised man said, ''OK, I want to live in Hawaii in a huge condo on the beach with three million dollars in the master bedroom, but I am afraid of boats and planes so I want you to build a bridge from here to Hawaii.''
The genie replied with a smirk, ''Are you crazy? Do you know how long that will take, with the pillars going down to the bottom of the ocean, all the cement it would take for the highway? No I'm sorry, it just can't happen.''
The man said, ''Fine then, I want to understand women.''
The genie said, '' Shall we make that a two lane road?''

One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. The man sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes.
Meanwhile, all the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him. As soon as he pulled onto the street, the officer stopped him, read him his rights and administered the breathalyzer test to determine his blood-alcohol content.
The results showed a reading of 0.0.
The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."

Good morning everyboomie.
If I pass out mid sentence, just put a cup under my chin to catch the drool, will you please?
It's 11:55 and my day has been long.
I couldn't get my heater to come on before I left for work, and when I left I didn't bother resetting the thermostat to a lower temperature. Well when I got home I quickly realized that the heater finally came on, and it was a toasty 74 degrees in the house.
Not sure what's going on there. It's something else to scratch my head over.
Scratching my head made me remember that I still have to get my shower.
I'd better go get my shower now, so I can 'scratch' that off my list.
Have a happy day everyone.

Sorry I've been absent lately. The early mornings have been getting to me, and I've been running around so much, I haven't even had time for morning whooshes. 
It looks like I'm going to continue to have 6 day work weeks all through the holidays. 
I'm going to try and start posting every morning again, but if I disappear, you'll know what happened. 
Glad that I got to meet him. HUGS to you and Merlin. Sending prayers for comfort and strength.
