I know I want to have children while my parents are still young enough to take care of them. —

~Rita Rudner~
~~~~~~~~~~~~



Visiting a college campus, the prospective student spots a building called Hemingway Hall. "That's nice," he says, "a building named for Ernest Hemingway."

"Actually," says the tour guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway."

"Was he a writer?" the student asks.

"Yes. He wrote a big check."
~~

After cashing a check at the bank, the woman in front of me stood staring at her money. "Did I give you enough back?" asked the teller. "Yes," she said. "But barely."
~~

The pastor decides to use one rich parishioner to set an example. "John," he says, "you're a successful businessman; surely you could contribute more to the building fund."

John replies, "But my mother is in a nursing home, my daughter just lost her job, and my son is starting college … If I can say no to them, I can say no to you too."
~~

Lying on his deathbed, the rich, miserly old man calls to his long-suffering wife. "I want to take all my money with me," he tells her. "So promise me you'll put it in the casket."

After the man dies, his widow attends the memorial service with her best friend. Just before the undertaker closes the coffin, she places a small metal box inside.

Her friend looks at her in horror. "Surely," she says, "you didn't put the money in there."

"I did promise him I would," the widow answers. "So I got it all together, deposited every penny in my account, and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
~~

Knock! Knock!
Who's there?
Cash.
Cash who?
I didn't realize you were some kind of nut!
~~

Knock! Knock!
Who's there?
Robin.
Robin who?
Robin' you! Give me your money fool!
~~

Freelance newspaper writers don't get nearly as much attention as writers with regular bylines. So I was delighted when I finally got some notice. It was at the bank, and I was depositing a stack of checks.

"Wow," said the teller, reading off the names of publishers from the tops of the checks. "You must deliver a lot of papers."
~~

On a billboard ad for a safe company:

"If your stuff is stolen, it's not our vault."
~~

My husband, an attorney, is frequently consulted by clients who, after learning what the cost of legal services will be, decide to do without his aid. Recently the elderly minister of a small, struggling church came in with a legal problem.

After patiently listening to an explanation of my husband's fees, he left the office with a prudent: "Thank you, sir, but I believe I'll just pray this one through."
~~

Dear IRS: I'm sending you this money because I cheated on my income tax and my conscience has been bothering me. If it doesn't stop, I'll send you the rest.
~~

I requested identification from a department-store customer who had just written a personal check for her purchase. After fumbling through her purse, she presented me with what she said was the only thing that bore both her name and address.

It was a notice of insufficient funds from her bank.
~~

Pulling into my service station 45 minutes late one morning, I shouted to the customers, "I'll turn the pumps on right away!" What I didn't know was that the night crew had left them on all night. By the time I got to the office, most of the cars had filled up and driven off. Only one customer stayed to pay. My heart sank.

Then the customer pulled a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to me.

"We kept passing the money to the last guy," he said. "We figured you'd get here sooner or later."
~~

A blonde and a brunette worked in a factory. The brunette says, "I know how to get some time off from work!" "How?" asks the blonde. "Watch this," says the brunette.

She climbs up to the rafter and hangs upside down. The boss walks in, sees her and says, "What on earth are you doing?" "I'm a lightbulb," she answers. "I think you need some time off," says the boss so she jumps down and walks out.

The blonde starts walking out, too. "Where are YOU going?" says the boss.

The blonde replies, "I'm leaving too. I can't work in the dark!"
~~

A farmer had a three legged pig and his neighbor asked him why the pig had only three legs.

"Well, I'll tell you" the farmer replied. "One day I was plowing my field and the tractor turned over and pinned me underneath. That pig ran for help. He saved my life".

"Oh, that's how he lost his leg?" the neighbor drawled.

"No. One night my wife and I were sound asleep and the house caught on fire. That pig woke us up. He saved our lives!"

"So that's how he lost his leg", stated the neighbor.

"No, that wasn't it" the farmer affirmed.

Exasperated, the neighbor demanded "Then how did he lose his leg?"

The farmer replied, "When you have a pig that good, you don't eat him all at once!"
~~

My three favorite things are eating my family and not using commas.
~~

A patient came to the hospital with a burned right hand.

As the doctor took down his medical history, he asked the injured man, “Do you smoke?”

Concerned, the doctor told him, "You should consider quitting."

"No, it's OK," said the patient. "I smoke with my left hand."
~~

On our commute to work, my husband stopped at a convenience store for coffee. As he got back into the car, I noticed something odd.

"Turn your head and look at me," I said. "You have a Q-tip sticking out of your ear."

As he pulled it out, he replied, "No wonder the guy in there asked me if I was getting good reception."
~~

Hello everyboomer........{{{{FOOTBALL!!}}}} joy


Need I say more? lol


It's been a pretty great day so far. 'The Washington Football Team' beat the 'Philadelphia football team'. Totally unexpected. woot


Then I was watching to see how Cam Newton would do in New England. He won. Now I'm watching to see how Tom Brady will do in Tampa. He's behind so far in New Orleans. Of course Drew Brees is a Texas boy. bravo


My Texans lost Thursday to KC Chiefs. Pretty much what I expected. Another Texas boy, Patrick Mahomes. snicker


The Cowboys play the Rams tonight in that monstrous, beautiful new SoFi stadium out there in LA. happydance


Did you know they can show videos on the roof of that dome that people flying over can watch.........until the plane crashes. haha


This morning was very Fall like. Our park walk was very enjoyable, and my afternoon here on the couch has been most agreeable.


I wish all of you a fantastic week coming up. thumbsup

Joe, glad you enjoyed a day of football! We are boycotting it at my house.

First day off in what seems like forever. Next one in two weeks. I had to clean house today before I could enjoy the day and then Nugget and I spent the day traveling to different woods and prairies to check out and run. Hopefully, I can stay caught up this week!

Have a great day all!

Something interesting to share. When I moved here 7 years ago, my next door neighbor, Helen, was 98 yrs old. She had no kids of her own but her sister's 7 children helped her out. When she died 3 years later, family was not able to sell her house which had been put on a reverse mortgage. After a year or so of trying, the bank seized it and turned it over to HUD. For 5 years its been vacant. Several people in our area, including some from her family wanted to but it but HUD refused. It never went on the open market. Last week, I found out it was part of an auction. Saturday, I met the real estate rep who bid for and bought it and told me he was happy that it was considered rental property, and suggested one of my neighbors was looking to purchase it. Thankfully my neighbors are good, friendly people, so I'm eager to find out what's going on and what will happen. It will be nice to have someone using that vacant property.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying the cooler weather, and relaxing playing games.

Magnificent Monday ya'll puppy

Back from a windy park run. Wind was so loud on one side that I couldn't hear my book. It felt nice though.

Going to enjoy a chat with my sister in a bit and then Bible Study later tonight. Hubby is grilling flank steaks tonight. A good day is planned! Have a great one, all wavegirl

Good morning everyone laugh

Connie .. have fun at lunch and enjoy your Netflix ... I'll have a Danish to go today

Wow ButterFlyBabe ... weird story for sure ... I don't understand what, if any impact the reverse mortgage had on the sale ... HUD's response makes perfect sense as it is a government operation and government operations are difficult to work with ... hope you get good neighbors

L4L hearts

Hope your Monday is inviting Joe Ana TaintedFury Family SpaceQuestFan Gerry Connie L4L manXman ButterFlyBabe Trail_Mystic Mary and anyone else who pops in to say hi

soot, I hope your project is going well and your day wasn't too long!

connie, sounds like a good day! What are your favorite Netflix shows?

butterflybabe, I always cringe when new neighbors move in. Hope yours are great ones!

L4L, you listen to books when you run? I don't think I could concentrate on one, that's impressive!

family, enjoy!

Today was an easy day and Nugget got a few runs in too. She's a happy girl! Tomorrow will be a full day.

Terrific Tuesday ya'll puppy

Back from an "over hill, over dale" run. Started book 5 of my series.

Ana, Yes, that is my favorite way to run. I put on a book and loose myself in it. I like to get really long ones. Right now I'm listening to a 6 book series and each book is about 14 hours. I only listen when I run, so that gives me incentive to "just do it." Yesterday I ended just as most of an ensemble cast was sacrificing themselves to save another one. I can't listen when i ride my indoor bike, though. I have to have a changing landscape for my eyes.

Connie, those are all shows that my son says are good. He also likes The Boys.

Gerry, how are you?

Family, I loved Perry Mason. I know there is a new one streaming on some service, but we don't have that one.

soot, I hear you! I don't ever understand how people can be "bored". Life is so busy that it's never in my vocabulary. lol Hope tomorrow is an easier day.

family, enjoy!

L4L, I know lots of people that love books as they drive too. I just can't do it. Finding the right music always got me through my races though. Glad you have something that inspires you to keep going.

Connie, good selection of mystery and sci-fi! I've been making my way through the comedians they have on there since all my usual shows aren't on with no new filming.

Gerry, hope all is well by you. We miss you here!

Good Morning everyone. Coffee and tea are ready to start your day. A chilly start here today only 50 degrees. Fall is upon us. Could use the heat on this morning. I've been watching the Tour De France for the last couple of weeks. Its the 1st time it has not been raced in July because of COVID - 19.

Wishing you all a safe and stress free day!

Take Care everyone.

Happy Hump Day ya'll puppy

We are awaiting the winds of Sally to hit later today. Her rain is already here. I'm trying to decide if I want to go out and walk in the rain. Not my favorite thing to do. Or I can ride my bike in my bedroom but that won't count for steps today. Oh well...thinking thinking.

Ana, I like to listen to books while I drive too....it's just I so very seldom drive. Hubby likes to listen to music while he does any and everything, but music has never been my thing. I think it's because of the hearing loss that I believe I was born with, but who knows. Glad you have a playlist that works for you.

Connie, are you getting anything from Sally?

Yes it is Ana, but we are blessed with lots to do ... boredom can be a tough hurdle to cross ... the key lies in finding ways to fight the mental fatigue that's got you in its grip ... try a new rhythm ... try something new ... think

Good morning Gerry ... it's great to see you ... hope all is well ... I'll have a tall cafe Verona this morning please

Hello Connie ... Sally has brought cooler temps for us today ... we are enjoying temps in the 60s today and it's nice ... we'll get back to normal warm and muggy temps later this week ... I'll have a Danish to go please

L4L, the storm has pulled the rain away from us. We had some outer bands earlier in the week. It will actually bring temps in mid 80's for a few days later in the week. Stay safe if your weather gets nasty from the storm. North Florida got heavy rains and has a lot of flooding.
