Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
William Penn (1644 - 1718)

When NASA first started sending up astronauts,
they discovered that their ball point pens would
not work in zero gravity.
To overcome this small problem, NASA scientists
spent three years and $7 million to develop a pen
that would write in zero gravity, upside down, on
almost any surface and at any temperature.
(guess that's why the Russians used a pencil)

A drunk, staggering down main street, somehow
manages to make it into a cathedral.
A priest watched him, as he crashed from pew to
pew, finally making his way into the confessional.
The priest, thinking the man needs his assistance,
proceeds to his side of the confessional.
His attention was rewarded with a lengthy silence,
followed by bodily gas being released.
The priest, battling extreme stench, finally asks...
"may I help you, my son?"
"Dunno"...came a slurred voice from the other side
..."you got any toilet paper?"

An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida,
his wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.
When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email,
unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address,
he did his best to type it from memory.
Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an
elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before.
When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor,
let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint, at the sound,
her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen.....
DEAREST WIFE...
JUST GOT CHECKED IN...
EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW...
P.S.
SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE.

If...
If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back, it was and always will be yours.
If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.
If, however, it just sits in your living room,
messes up your stuff,
eats your food,
uses your telephone,
takes your money, and
never appears to have noticed that
you actually set it free in the first place,
You either married it or gave birth to it!

Good morning everyboomie.
I'm super late tonight. Gotta get going.
It was a fantastic day here. When I got home, I propped the front door open so the cat could go in and out, and I took Baby for a walk.
I have another 5 to 2 Tuesday, and the same Wednesday, and then I am off Thur, Fri, Sat, and Sun.
I'm also off for 16 days in January.
Gotta get to bed. Have a happy day everyone.
