Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding and on the way they pass a drugstore. Jacob suggests they go in. Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?"

The pharmacist answers "Yes".

Jacob: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?"

Pharmacist: "Of course we do."

Jacob: "How about medicine for circulation?"

Pharmacist: "All kinds."

Jacob: "Medicine for rheumatism, scoliosis? "

Pharmacist: "Definitely."

Jacob: "How about Viagra?"

Pharmacist: "Of course."

Jacob: "Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, Jaundice?"

Pharmacist: "Yes, a large variety. The works."

Jacob: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes for Parkinson's disease?"

Pharmacist: "Absolutely."

Jacob: "You sell wheelchairs and walkers?"

Pharmacist: "All speeds and sizes."

Jacob says to the pharmacist: "Good, we'd like to use this store as our Bridal Registry!"

A man worked in a post office. His job was to process all mail that had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought, "I better open this one and see what it's all about." So he opened it and it read:

"Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had a hundred dollars in it which was all the money I had until my next pension check." "Next Sunday is Easter, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with." "I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?"

The postal worker was touched, and went around showing the letter to all the others. Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected 96 dollars, which they put into an envelope and sent over to her. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing they had done. Easter came and went, and a few days later came another letter from the old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
It read:

"Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?" "Because of your generosity, I was able to fix a lovely dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. " "By the way, there was 4 dollars missing. It was no doubt those thieving b------s at the post office."

Good morning everyboomie. 

How is everyone doing today?

I haven't looked in the mirror yet, so I don't know how I'm doing.

Either I'm still alive or or muscle cramps and joint pain don't improve much after death. 

I may have to wait until next payday to know for sure.

They say nothing is certain but death and taxes, so if taxes are held out of my check I'll know......for certain. 

There is one thing that kinda makes me think I'm still probably in Oklahoma. 

I hear cows mooing. 

Of course that could mean something else, but I'm not even going to consider that possibility. 

Have a heavenly happy super Tuesday everyone.

Happy voting.

joe

I almost positive they don't have computers in Heaven anyway. 

Cursing is not allowed. 

I'm really looking forward to voting Joe. I think Ohio is going to be important this time around. Have a great day.

I voted absentee a few weeks back. Now to wait it out tomorrow and see who wins. Were some 'politicians' roaming the neighborhood earlier, looking for votes. Dunno who, but they were well dressed and friendly. Probably belonged to the 'other' party.

Good morning Joe,Space,Sorta and everyone
I hope the best for you and your country
Who is gonna be the next president effects
the whole world
Anyway I wish you all a <happy> day

Good morning Joe,Sorta,Space,Haroula and all who follow me in I'll be glad to see all the Ads and commercials stop!They have been on non stop for months Happy voting everyone,plenty of coffee in the corner

Well, it's time for yet another whoosh to work.

Work for 5:00 later on. I'm tired just thinking about it. Voting this morning. Hope you guys have a spectacular day. Oh Evelyne I'm so sorry about the breakin. Prayers that they didn't do any damage. Hugs.

Space, Sorta, Haroula, Venus, good morning!

Evelyne, prayers out that nothing valuable to you has been taken.

Midgie, sounds like a busy day. Bet you'll be glad when you're all settled in and can relax.

Connie, Enjoy the day. Thanks for the Danish.

Cailyn, Please please pass the hot coffee over.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day! Voting this morning then a Doc appointment this afternoon.

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! Happy Votin Totin Tuesday!

Hey, Midgie! So happy about the news of your new apartment! Woohoo!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies!

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!

Good morning Joe and all Gameboomers!

The sun is out and looks to be a pretty day. I have to do some cleaning then I'm going out to vote. This evening I get my rental car so it's shopping time! I'll have it till tomorrow afternoon because I have a Dr. appt early tomorrow.

Good luck with your packing, etc. today Midge.

Gimli -- Very sorry to hear about the break-in and hope not too much damage.

Connie -- Boy that breakfast sounds good!

Gail -- Good luck with your Dr. appt.

That's good news Nidge woops typo -Midge. And your own laundry too -Wow! Das seus leben. If ever you meet the old dragonlady tell her how wonderful the new place is hahaha.

Just ordered a bunch from Amazon -oh gosh why do I do these things, but it's going to be a gaming winter that's for sure. For starters
Devil May Cry -5 0r 6 whatever, the new
one
Devil May Cry 1,2,3 collection
And thee game COD Black ops 2 the
zombie one
There's so many new games to pre-order. Sometime though I must play those games I started but never finished.

Cooold today

Evelyne how awful -they do that here too. I hope the crooks are captured and forced to make restitution. Why do some demean themselves like that

Happy Tuesday all

Terrific Tuesday ya'll

It is cool and raining in AL. Hubby went out and brought home sausage biscuits but I still have room for some of those crunchy donuts.

There is some cleaning, some chillin', and probably a nap in my future.

Back later

Oh Gimli! I'll be crossing fingers and toes that things aren't too bad. I had my home broken into years ago and I still think about it. Scary and costly. Hope all goes OK for you!

Voting: Neighbor just called. He voted this AM and said some lady brought her HUGE dog with her and wanted to 'register to vote'. The nice people at the polls spent a long time trying to explain it's way too late to register. Ugh. She just didn't understand, not to mention them trying to get the doggie OUTSIDE so everyone voting would be calm.

Then, the guy who asked why Bob Filner (one of the candidates for Mayor of San Diego wasn't on his ballot???? Ha. WE live in Chula Vista, which is of course a part of San Diego County, but we don't get to vote for San Diego City people. That one also took awhile for the guy to understand.

Off for a walk. Lovely weather again. DRY (single digits), but oh so blue skies and a great view of our mountains. Maybe I can 'school' a few voters along the way. Hope we have a HUGE turnout today. Last presidential election we had 87% voting. Nice, however in the primaries this year, we had only 32% vote! Can you imagine????

Good morning boomies! I went out and did my civic duty as well this morning. This afternoon is my 6 month follow up for my questionable "squish" I had, so they are either doing a biopsy today or giving me an all clear. Positive thoughts welcome.

Tonight Peter and I are going to get facials at Sam's house. She won a "facial party" and she wants us to come. Should be interesting.
They will be very dissappointed if they think I am going to buy anything because I do not wear any make-up.

Evelyne, I too have been a victim of home robbery and remember the violated feeling you have knowing someone was in your home and in your stuff. I hope it's not too bad. Big HUgs!

be back....

Joe thanks for the laughs. Hope work flies and the net behaves.

Have a ,lovely Haroula!!

Happy voting Space!! Here in WI it might be tight too. Who knows. I think it will just be tight all over.

Cailyn, Midge, Gerry venus!! Have a lovely day!

Aw Evelyne so sorry to hear that. Hope there is no damage. A shame that people have to do those things. HUGS and prayers for the kBand around you and hubby as you head back there.

Connie have a nice walk to the mpoles!! Thanks for the treats. Yummmmy!

Gail best of luck at the doc appointment!! Have as lovely day!

Darlene may work go smoothly!! Have a lovely day!

Sorta have a lovely day! Sounds like a lot of fun at the poles.

Raining here so not too much walking till it clears a little. Off to vote!!


Nan

Edit: Ana prayers that all is well and you are given an "all clear" from the doc!!!! HUGS!!!

Good Morning Boomers!
Oh Evelyne, that is terrible!! I hope they were frightened off by the gardener!! You poor girl!!!
L4l, freezing the pumpkin...just like squash, oh it is squash,haha. It is sooooo good!!
Midgie, your new apartment sounds delightful, I am sooo happy for you!!!
Ana, I am in full agreement with you. They should leave well enough alone as far as our hours go. I am still muddy headed. Saying a prayer for only good news too.
Voted by mail a couple of weeks ago. It will be what it will be. I know I am sick of it too, Sue!
Hubby is Still under the edges of house doing more foundation stuff. I think he is close to finish now.
I'm off next door to my Mum's to help her do some mundane chores.
Happy Gaming everyone. Enjoy your day!!

Well, I made it here.

It is another yucky day, cold and drippy. We got out and voted early as I had a podiatrist appointment at 9:15. Stopped by optometrist to get the lens put back in Bill's glasses. Now I am sitting here trying to figure out what I want for dinner. Better figure it out soon or we will end up having pizza. Hmmmm, that sounds good. Don't know if Bill will want it though. Nope, there is meatloaf left so will finish that up. Chile sounds good for tomorrow.

Midgie, can't wait to see pics of your apartment when you get moved in.

Aw Evelyn, sorry to hear about the break in. We have been through that also.

Wishing everyone a warm and fuzzy day.

Bets

Good afternoon Boomers

Lotus I never even thought of a pumpkin as a squash. Silly me. I just might have to try that as I love squash!!

I think hubby has those projects cause he just has to be doing something all the time. When winter actually sets in then he can relax.....I hope.

I agree about the "what will be will be"!! There is a greater plan! Just will be happy all those ads and signs will be gone.

Bets your weather sounds like ours, although the sun is trying to peek out thru the clouds at the moment. Leftover meatloaf sounds good.

Howdy Space!! Glad work is over. Have a nice relaxing evening!!


Nan

Edit: Night Haroula sleep well and pleasant dreams!!

Hello everybody. I'm at home and on line with my new router. I couldn't wait to install it and see how it works. We shall see.

I have to get off and go over to Mom's and visit, and see my Baby. I'll take Pepper with me so she can visit too.

I hope you are all having a great day.

Evie I'm sorry to hear your home was burglerized. I pray the damage & loss is not too much.

Ana fingers crossed and positive thoughts coming to you.

Sorta's Monthly Tenant News:

So after my long time tenant's son moved out last October 31st (2011) to be with his FIRST girlfriend ever (he's 55) and she lived about 6 hours North in the desert, I figured all was well. So he visited occasionally throughout the year (with and without her), and then in October of this year, he appeared with the girlfriend during a huge family gathering. So the girlfriend left after 2 weeks (yup we have long 'visits' there all the time'). HE stayed and it became obvious it might be a long time. So I put him back on the rental agreement after 6 weeks. THEN he must have reconciled with the girlfriend and he went back up North again.

THEN last night, SHE drives in with him as a passenger. They proceeded to unload boxes and bags and suitcases and more bags and boxes from the trunk and back seat of her car. It looked very odd, since even if visiting for a few weeks, this was a LOT of stuff. I immediately thought he was moving back in and bringing his things home.

She stayed overnight, and at 7 am, the car left with HER alone. I managed to intercept the mom as she walked to the mailbox and I was RIGHT. He's back for good. Gal dumped him and some of his stuff. He has to get some bigger things later, and his car is still there (needs to get insurance, etc. on it before he can pick it up). Ohhhhhhh! Guess the big romance is off. He quit a nice job here (worked for the Hotel Del Coronado posh restaurant) for years) and never found ANY work in an entire year. Stayed on unemployment and it's running out soon. She is a dentist (making good money) but I think she got tired of supporting him.

So I'm sad that the romance didn't work out, but happy to have him back. He has never lived anywhere but with his parents and he's the only one who drives so mom and dad had to walk or get rides from friends/relatives. So this will be good for everyone. Good thing I put him back on the rental agreement. I must have been using my psychic powers that he was going to bounce back here for good.

All good! Thanks for the positive thoughts. Daughter's house is canceled for tonight, everyone going except for Peter and is home sick so it will be rescheduled. I am going dancing instead. Life is good.

Gail, I hope your visit went well today.

Need to get a quick dinner together and then going to the club.

Be happy!

Ana, have fun!

Hubby and I are having a junk food day. Well, hubby is...my tum is not so happy so I'm drinking Ginger Beer.

Back later

WooHoo Ana!! Have fun dancing!! Hope all those going to the party are feeling better soonest!

L4l hope your tummy is better soonest! HUGS!


Nan

Nan,

Is it cold up there?

Oh Ana, that's such good news. You know we all say prayers for you my dear. Have fun dancing tonight.

I'm gonna say good night though. I've done enough for one day. Hey Bets! Miss you Sweetie.
Tomorrow I spend at the Boston Pain Clinic to see if there's anything that can be done about my left ankle. It's a mess in there but I have hope.

Night all.

Midgie

Evening; has been a most undesirable 3 plus weeks. First the cold and still trying to get rid of the cough. But knew I had to take Skye in Fri. to have a growth removed from her lower eyelid. She was fine Sat. morn the Sun. morn when I was feeding I noticed her face was swollen to twice it's size. This was on the left side and the surgery was on the right. Her eye swelled completely shut and her ear was so swollen I couldn't even see the canal when I checked. Nothing caught in her mouth. Luckily she was eating, drinking and breathing okay but then started trying to scratch all over so just kept a very close eye on her. Mon. the right side of her face was swollen but not as bad as the left was; called the vet and he said to start her on Benedryl. The itching is now gone but her ears are swollen. Can only watch and wait but seems she's starting to get much better. Only thing I can think of is a spider bite.
Anyway this morning let the dogs out and when they came back in Shawnee was dribbling small amounts of blood. Called the vet, then into to pick up antibiotics for possible UTI. So far this afternoon haven't seen anything.
Okay that's my past month in a nutshell....
Will mention temps have been in the 60's during the day but's supposed to drop later this week.

TRippy, I am so sorry you are having a bad stretch. I hope that you and the dogs are on the mend now.

Nan, how is your back doing?

Fun, fun, fun tonight and now I need to wind down. I went grocery shopping after class and just finished putting everything away. It was a busy day day today and looking forward to relaxing.

Ana

Trippy...HUGS!!!

Ana it gets a little better each day! Thanks for asking.

Space it was in the upper 30's to lower 40's for temps here.

Time to pick everybody up and take them home. Night everybody sleep well and pleasant dreams.
