We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

I told my girlfriend that it looked like she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

Love Lost, 
Love Found On Craigslist
• The ad for the 14k white gold engagement ring in “like-new condition” included a caveat: 
It was worn “by Satan herself.” 
The ad then warned, “Ring may be cursed, as it tends to leave 
a path of destruction behind it. Possible events associated with this ring include but are not 
limited to: damage sustained to house, vehicle, heart, downed power lines, fallen trees, and swarms of locusts.” The upside: “Other than that, a very nice piece of jewelry.”

• This man’s ad addressed someone he’d met only fleetingly: “Hi. I am the guy whose house you tried breaking in to this morning around 9:30 a.m. on Gale Street,” he wrote. “Our 
conversation was short. You only said, ‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh …,’ as you saw me staring back at you through the door blinds. Still,” he continued, 
“I feel we made a good connection, separated only by the door and the two locks you were 
trying to pick. Please don’t break into my house again. But 
if you’re up for a legal encounter, I’m game.”

My husband and I couldn’t decide which jacket to buy our granddaughter, so we asked the young salesman.

“If you were buying a jacket for your girlfriend,” I said, “what would you get?”

“A bulletproof one,” he said. “I’m married.”

``````````````````````````

My seatmate on a flight was a woman. Ever the charmer, I asked, “Does the airline charge you extra for sitting next to good-looking men?”

“Yes,” she said, “but I wasn’t willing to pay.”

````````````````````````````

As the music swelled during a recent wedding reception, my hopelessly romantic husband squeezed my hand, leaned in, and said, “You are better looking than half the women here.”

```````````````````````````````

Boy: Do you have a date for Valentine’s Day?

Girl: Yes, it's February 14th.

```````````````````````````

Every Valentine’s Day our campus newspaper has a section for student messages. Last year my roommate surprised his girlfriend with roses and dinner at a fancy restaurant. When they returned from their date, she leafed through the paper to see if he had written a note to her. Near the bottom of one page she found: “Bonnie—What are you looking here for? Aren’t dinner and flowers enough? Love, Scott.”

```````````````````````````

My high-school English teacher was well known for being a fair, but hard, grader. One day I received a B minus on a theme paper. In hopes of bettering my grade and in the spirit of the valentine season, I sent her an extravagant heart-shaped box of chocolates with the pre-printed inscription: “BE MINE.” The following day, I received in return a valentine from the teacher. It read: “Thank you, but it’s still BE MINE-US.”

````````````````````````````

As Valentine’s Day approached, I tried to think of an unusual gift for my husband. When I discovered that his favorite red-plaid pants had a broken zipper, I thought I had the “perfect Valentine.” I had the pants repaired, and gift-wrapped them. On the package I put a huge red heart on which I printed: “My Heart Pants for You.” I was the surprised one, however, when I saw the same heart taped to our formerly empty, but now overflowing, wood box. On it he had written: “Wood You Be My Valentine?”

Have a date for Valentine’s Day? Hope it doesn’t end up like these

• He couldn’t remember my name, so he asked if I would mind if he just called me Amy instead.

• In a restaurant, she said she did a great impression of a fax 
machine. Then she beeped loudly while unraveling a napkin from 
her mouth.

• He said, “From your photo, I thought you were too good for me. I’m glad to see you’ve got flaws.” Then he listed them.

A Failure to Communicate

A father shows up at his daughter’s home and finds his son-in-law angrily packing his bags.

“What’s wrong?” he asks.

“I texted my wife that I was coming home today from my golfing trip. And what did I find when I walked through the door? Her making out with Joe Murphy! I’m leaving!”

“Now, calm down,” says his 
father-in-law. “There must be a 
simple explanation. I’ll find out what happened.” Moments later, he reappears. “I told you there was a simple explanation, and there is,” he says. “She never got your text.”

``````````````````````````````

Sarah Silverman tweeted, “When ur relatives drive you crazy just close your eyes & pretend it’s dialogue in 
a Woody Allen movie.”

She got this 
response from Mia Farrow: “Tried that. Didn’t work.”

````````````````````````````

A man invited a woman over to his home for a seven-course meal.

“That’s lovely,” she said. “What are we going to have?”

He said, “A hot dog and a six-pack of beer.”

Remember that trash compactor I had that stopped working? Remember that I had TWO service techs here, each who told me that it was 2 different things wrong. The first said it was the motor switch, but you can't buy just the switch, you have to buy the entire motor. He quoted me 400 bucks. The second said it was the reverse switch and quoted me 300 bucks, knowing that I'd replaced the motor and it wasn't broken in the first place. Both guys from the same HUGE service company who work for a huge department store chain.

So I replaced the 'switch' and that wasn't bad either. Saved me 300 bucks though. So savings of 700 bucks for THEM to do nothing and my cost (plus my neighbor's help) was not quite 200 bucks. THEN...I kept listening to the 'noise' the compactor was making from the very beginning and pinned it down to the very bottom.

Gotta keep in mind that the FIRST guy told me, before he started working that it's usually the 'nylon gears' that go first, BUT never opening the bottom of the compactor to look at the gears and instead trying to get me to pay him big bucks for that motor replacement.

Second guy wasn't going to look at the gears either, but I insisted and he grudgingly looked, said they were fine and decided it was another switch, which I bought but it wasn't bad. Oh well. The NOISE continued no matter what, so I took the compactor bottom off MYSELF and found the main gear was BROKEN. Yes it was. I ordered a new gear kit.

SO today, my GEAR KIT arrived. Cost me 20 bucks. All I needed was the big gear which I replaced (with a little help from my neighbor on the 'hard' part). MY compactor is WORKING! Yup, working fine for now, crossing fingers, eyes and toes. It does what it's supposed to do.

It's all I can do to NOT call BOTH the repair guys and tell them what I think about their expertise and obvious attempt to charge me for things that were not broken. I won't do it though. Not worth the time and effort and not worth risking the backlash from them. I did that once with a delivery guy (my new fridge) and HE called me! Yelled at me, threatened me, knew where I lived too. Ugh. Not worth it. I'm keeping it to myself and am so thrilled my compactor is WORKING. joy bravo rah

Hello everybody. I went out to the big field by the river today. It was very cloudy still, and I was not sure if it would rain or not. Fortunately it didn't. I walked around and found blades and stuff, but it took me 4 1/2 hours to find one very rough little point. bravo

I also found the biggest heart breaker I've ever found, the base of what was originally a 7 or 8 inch spear point. shocked

I had to look at it a while before I finally turned it around 90 degrees and realized what it was and my eyes about popped out of my head.

Here they all are. wink

I'm ready for a nap now. tired

Midgie, why are you having another surgery? Was this meant to be a 2-part deal from the start? hearts

And now refrigerator guy has come and gone. We shall see if this new part fixes it. Fingers crossed.

Re: Tuesday's - 04/20/16 01:54 AM

Yes Ana it was. I knew it wasn't over yet. I should have the last surgery in a week. He said when I woke up from the first one,I have to wait 3 weeks before I go back to surgery so he can finish the job.I'll be glad when it's over.
