Hump Day

Hump Day - 09/10/14 04:23 AM

Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.
Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly
swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping
on Mount Everest. Ten were blonde, one was a brunette.

As a group they decided that one of the party should let go.
If that didn't happen the rope would break and everyone would perish.

For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered.

Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would
sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others.
All the blondes applauded.

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. "My dog's cross eyed. Is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy"
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an accountant. "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed accountant. "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer. When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, Ticket, please."

There was an engineer, manager and programmer driving down a steep mountain road. The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control. Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff. They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed. The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution." The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it." The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again."

You are in a steel room with no windows, doors or openings. All you have is a matchbook...how do you get out?

Answer: Strike One! Strike Two! Strike Three...Your Out!

A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. "But officer," the man began, "I can explain." "Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back." "But, officer, I just wanted to say,..." "And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!" A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief's at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back." "Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man goes skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seems like days, he is ready to go. Excited, he jumps out of the airplane. After a bit, he pulls the ripcord. Nothing happens. He tries again. Still nothing. He starts to panic, but remembers his back-up chute. He pulls that cord. Nothing happens. He frantically begins pulling both cords, but to no avail. Suddenly, he looks down and he can't believe his eyes. Another man is in the air with him, but this guy is going up! Just as the other guy passes by, the skydiver -- by this time scared out of his wits--yells, "Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?" The other guy yells back, "No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?"

The breeder brought Lyric over last night and she and Cory sniffed noses then ignored each other. Lyric will go in to be spayed today and we will get her on the 19th. Diane wants to make sure she heals well and is okay. When we get her, will post some pics.

So, how is everyone today? Rarin and ready to go and kicking up your heels? lol

Have a great day everyone.

Good moaning everybody. tired

I'm still sipping on coffee and very tired. yes

It's been a very busy week, and the heat continues in the mid 90s every day. At least we've been having a strong breeze every day to help keep you cooled a bit while you are outside. yes

I don't work today until 2:00, and then I close again tomorrow from 1 to 10. razz

What ever you have on your plate today, I hope....... think...it taste good. thumbsup

Morning all. Nice nice day here although this afternoon will be hotsky. Still summer.

Monday evening I watched a great movie via youtube, "The Crossing". It's about General George Washington at Valley Forge and their crossing the Delaware. The revolution effort had hit a low, no food, guns, ammo or shoes or warm clothes and no sleep. They had to commandeer boats to cross the Delaware River and attack British fortifications at Trenton, NJ (I think Trenton) must look that up. Great movie. All Americans should watch this. Then last night I watched a documentary about the dark ages. Life was rough then, how did we ever survive. Tonight, who knows.

That ShemerBaby cat!!! He's 15 pounds, I know, but this AM he ate 2 whole cans of Fancy Feast at 54 cents a can and licked his plate. And now he's sleeping it off. The girls just icky-picked and Commander Buttons hoovered down his simmered chicken breast -it has to be the kind with skin and bones attached as he won't eat the skinless fillets. Which fillets would be alot less work for me.

Out of Britta filters -Amazon sells them so -Goody- maybe I'll buy some more games with them too.

Happy Wednesday

Good afternoon boomies. I've been trying to get up on emails I have to write and everything just takes so long.I apologize for the absence but I keep running out of time before my left hand gets tired.

The great news is that I found out yesterday is that they were able to completely repair my shoulder and it was a success. I am so thankful!!!! It will take longer to heal because of how much he had to do, but that's okay. Unfortunately, the sling along with its attachments will be my friend for another 4 weeks minimum. grin

be back later...........

Re: Hump Day - 09/10/14 10:25 PM

Ana, glad it was good news. I know the sling is bothersome and limiting, but it will be wonderful to have a like-new shoulder. wave
