Good morning everyone!
(or what ever 'tis where ever you is, eh?)

Well, Tom sounded a bit more hopeful 'bout his sister and my brother's doin' a wee bit better, eh? Methinks there be plenty of thinkin' and prayin' goin' on here. Thanks!

Folks here're gettin' so tired of the excessive heat methinks they'd welcome a good blow if 'twould cool things off. Tomorrow'll be the worst yet, but at least we got storms comin' Thursday that'll cool things off.



Watchin' the news 'twould seem there's not much goin' on in Iraq or the Middle East, eh? Least nothin' as important as Lindsay Lohan not showin' up for work or Mel Gibson gettin' stupid drunk. How folks can even try to defend what passes as journalism these days is beyond me, eh?

An elderly couple were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, so they decided to return to the little town where they first met. They sat in a small coffee shop in the town and were telling the waitress about their love for each other and how they met at this same spot. Sitting next to them was the local cop and he smiled as the old couple spoke.

After the waitress left the table, the old man said to his wife: "Remember the first time we made love, it was up in that field across the road, when I put you against the fence. Why don't we do it again for old times sake?"

The wife giggled like crazy and said, "Sure, why not."

So off they went out the door and across to the field. The cop smiled to himself, thinking how romantic this was and decided he better keep an eye on the couple so they didn't run into any harm.

The old couple walked to the field and as they approached the fence they began to undress. The old man picked up his wife when they were naked and leaned her against the fence.

The cop was watching from the bushes and was surprised at what he saw. With the vitality of youth, the wife bounced up and down excitedly, while the husband thrashed around like a wild man, then they both fell to the ground in exhaustion.

Eventually, they stood up,shook themselves, and got dressed. As they walked back towards the road. The cop stepped from his hiding spot and said, "That is the most wonderful love making I have ever seen. You must have been a wild couple when you were young."

"Not really," said the old man, "when we were young, that fence wasn't electric."



Well, here's hopin' the weather's great where ever y'all are at! Enjoy the day, be safe, stay well, don't do anything clumsy or dumb and remember to play nice!

Wonderful news, BigTom!

Doc says:Even though he's still in ICU 'twould seem my brother's a bit better this mornin', eh?
I'm glad for your good news, too!

Good Morning Everyone ... Its already so hot here that even thinking of cleaning pumps is out of the question. Just taking Les to hospital this morning was an ordeal even with air in the car.

He's in Nuclear Medicine for a Bone Scan and extensive xrays and tests so will be several hours before he's ready to come home. I'll go back when he calls me on his cell. There's a Tim Horton's in the hospital so he can rest and grab coffee between tests. He's in a wheel chair and insisted he could manage to get himself from point A to point B. Now I'm gonna worry and feel guilty because I'm not there . But he is at the point where he is desperate to be independent and I have to respect that.

I guess? Or am I completely wrong ? I just don't know any more.

Holding my breath.. they are finally doing the tests I've wanted for months .. now I don't know if I want the answers.

First time I've said that out loud.

OK moaning over. Just needed to say it.

Hope everyone has a good day.

He's an adult. Perhaps it will help him feel better if he can do this by himself.

(SonPie -almost 20- had a follow-up appt with his doc this morning to get the results of blood tests-
including his bout with mono. I had to let him go by himself- it's tough.)

Not even a little bit wrong.

I'd be bettin' he's so wanted to show any degree of independence, no matter how slight, that he's revellin' in it right now, eh? Methinks the other situation might be without you hoverin' over him there ain't anyone to cramp his style messin' with them nurses. Leave 'im be enjoyin' a wee bit of dignity!


Keith comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch in front of the television, and tells his wife, "Get me a beer before it starts."

The wife sighs and gets him a beer.

Fifteen minutes later, he says, "Get me another beer before it starts."

She looks cross, but fetches another beer and slams it down next to him.

He finishes that beer and a few minutes later says, "Quick, get me another beer, it's going to start any minute."

The wife is furious. She yells at him "Is that all you're going to do tonight? Drink beer and sit in front of that TV? You're nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob, and furthermore . . ."

Keith sighs and says, "It's started . . "



Added on edit: How come we ain't pinned no more? Whose knickers we get in a knot this time, eh?

A college professor, an avowed Atheist, was teaching his class.

He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated that there is no God, the expression "One Nation Under God", was unconstitutional, and further, he was going to prove there is no God.

Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!"

The lecture room fell silent.

You could have heard a pin fall.

Ten minutes went by.

Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting."

His countdown got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine just released from active duty and newly registered in the class walked up to the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him tail over teacup from his lofty platform.

The professor was out cold!

At first the students were shocked and babbled in confusion.

The young Marine took a seat in the front row and sat silent.

The class fell silent...waiting.

Eventually, the professor came to, shaken.

He looked at the young Marine in the front row.

When he regained his senses and could speak he yelled, "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

"God was busy. He sent me."

Thanks Fly ! I needed a male perspective on it although I did appreciate Pie and Peg's opinions.

That's how I saw it but at this point I doubt myself frequently. He is a proud man and his pride has taken one hell of a beating in recent months. I try to avoid having his pride trampled any more than I can help and often sit when I want to jump and do it for him but I manage to restrain myself most of the time.

When it gets too hard I come here and whine and then feel like a real PITA.

Gee these golden years are great , aren't they !

I even wish he would mess around with the nurses at this point if it would make him feel better for even a few minutes ! I honestly wish it was me having all this pain instead of him. He's had all he can take. He's aging before my eyes at a pace that scares the hell out of me. And yet, he never ever says a word. He just takes it and has the patience of Job with me when I get all bent out of shape or lose it over some dumb stupid thing which isn't important in the first place. He has more guts in his little finger than I have in my entire body.

In case anyone is wondering .. I kinda love the guy.

A Marine stationed in Afghanistan recently received a "Dear John"
Letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows:

Dear Ricky, I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance
between us is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on
you twice since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us.
I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.

Love,
Becky

The Marine, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow Marines for any
snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters,
ex-girlfriends, aunts, cousins etc. In addition to the picture of
Becky,

Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had
collected from his buddies.

There were 57 photos in that envelope along with this note:

Dear Becky,
I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember which one you are. Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest
back to me.

Thouht I'd try every method ..just in case my regular transmission doesn't work..

He drinks because she nags, he thinks.
She thinks she nags because he drinks.

But neither of them know what's true:

That he's a sot, and she's a shrew!

-Ogden Nash

Gosh golly gee whiz! Methinks someone forgot to remind us 'bout this year's festivities, eh?



Man: "My wife has the worst memory ever."

Friend: "She forgets everything, huh?"

Man: "No, she remembers everything!"

Yeah, they do this every year. The town is over run by yuppies from Dallas uhhing and ahhing over all the Victorian style houses. Obviously they a'int ever had to maintain a 100 year old plumbing system, eh?

We live too far out of town to get included on the tour list (thank God).

Might as well forget about going to any resturants when this thing is going on too.

Wow, Marine .. some house ! Had no idea you had such a big place

Turn off some lights ! Your hydro bill must be huge !

(I'm kidding .. I assume that is NOT your home cuz I don't see any chickens running around)

It appears that Norman Bates had put on a room addition or two. What? Did he sell the hotel?

The rules of the BBQ..received from a woman

After months of cold and rainy weather, we are finally coming up to
summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory
on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the
only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an
element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are
put into motion:

Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes
dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man
who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He
thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with
the situation.

Important again:

(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine....
( The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon
seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing
some women....

Yet another blond joke...

Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department.One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it --why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick. "

Want to feel a little humble...?

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a 'handy-woman' and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood.

She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, you can paint my porch," he said. "How much will you charge me?"

The blonde, after looking about, responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint and other materials that she might need were in the garage.

The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should; she was standing on it. Do you think she's dumb?" "No", replied the wife. "I guess I'm guilty of being influenced by all the 'dumb blonde' joke emails we've been receiving."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

"You're finished already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the blonde replied, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her.

"And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."

SOUTHERN BIRTH SIGNS

What's Your "Southern" Sign? Some of us (especially Southerners) are pretty skeptical of horoscopes, and it has become obvious that what we need are "Southern" symbols:

OKRA (Dec 22 - Jan 20) Although you appear crude, you are actually very slick on the inside. Okras have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. Stay away from Moon Pies.

CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he's motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.

BOLL WEEVIL (Feb 20 - Mar 20) You have an overwhelming curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don't worry about it.

MOON PIE (Mar 21- Apr 20) You're the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. It's a cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going to be easy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Or, maybe not.

POSSUM (Apr 21 - May 21) When confronted with life's difficulties, possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a don't-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy, but seems to work for you. One day, however, it won't work and you may find your problems actually running you over.

CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21) Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you're always hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, the bathtub to the living room. You tend to be not particularly attractive physically, but you have very, very good heads.

COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23) Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in the "melting pot" of life and share their essence with the essence of those round them.. Collards make good social workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Moon Pies. It just won't work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.

CATFISH (July 24 - Aug 23) Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although one's whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You catfish are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.

GRITS (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese or gravy or bacon or butter or eggs. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things, that serves you well.

BOILED PEANUTS (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best - your friends and loved ones - may find that your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will probably affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.

BUTTER BEAN (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Always invite a Butter Bean because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies.

ARMADILLO (Nov 23 - Dec 21) You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms and insects. You are a throwback. You're not concerned with today's fashions and trends. You're not concerned with anything about today. You're really almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but Possum is another somewhat kinky, mating possibility.

Good morning everyone!
(or what ever 'tis where ever you is, eh?)

I'll leave the southern horoscope to IH, since I am not really a southerner.
I really like the perspective on earth.

Happy fishing, Doc.
Trying to work some energy to do some trimming in the yard. Seems we have some sort of air inversion thingy going here, ie, pollution is nasty. Need rain, but not Chris.

Hi Everyone .. just wanted to say ...

Checking in where the heat is going to reach 102 degrees today. It is the pits. After giving due consideration to the East Coast heat, Snuff Jr, his girlfriend and I have decided to take a one week trip to Montana. We are leaving on Saturday August 5th returning the 12th. We are planning to stay at one of our most favorite haunts outside Big Sky to commune with horses, fish, wildlife, the Gallatin River valley, Yellowstone etc. Forget the Atlantic seaboard, we are headed to God's country. I'm visualizing us listening to Kenny Chesney from Ipods while riding in the Metcalf Wilderness area. Can't wait. No shoes, No Shirts, No problem.

Oh, this just sounds grand! I'm very happy for you, Snuff!

Pick me up on the way through, Snuff...I'll trailer-up my mare...

I've stayed at the ranch we are going to before a number of times in the 1990s. It will almost feel like a quasi homecoming reunion. You could bring your horse. You can bring your dogs. And you definitely need to bring your flyfishing gear, alhthough there is an Orvis outfitter not to far away. A river runs through it. Seriously. And its the Gallatin.

SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE

(This is hilarious - no wonder some people were offended!)

This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School(California)
staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering
machine. This is the actual answering machine message for the school.
This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students
and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing
homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want
their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though
those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not
complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes.
The outgoing message:

"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your
school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff
member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:

* To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
* To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2
* To complain about what we do - Press 3
* To swear at staff members - Press 4
* To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in
your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5
* If you want us to raise your child - Press 6
* If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7
* To request another teacher, for the third time this year - Press 8
* To complain about bus transportation - Press 9
* To complain about school lunches - Press 0
* If you realize this is the real world and your child must be
accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work,
homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of
effort:
Hang up and have a nice day!

If you can read this - thank a teacher!
If you are reading it in English - thank a veteran

Frenchy, these took my breath away! Where did you find them? It certainly gives you a perspective on your significance. Actually I find it very exciting to see these images. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Have to agree with TiSC, Frenchy...awesome photos, great reality check.

Hi folks. I am really tired. Did my shift tonight with only three servers, including myself. Just kept going. Good thing I come from hearty peasant stock.

Gotta good book to wind down with. Will catch up on my reading around here, regroup and do it again tomorrow.

I love hearty Pheasants.......

Good morning everyone!
(or what ever 'tis where ever you is, eh?)

Quiet day here yesterday, eh? My day on the water was quiet too!

Does this remind you of anyone here?

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules.

"The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time."

He continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will incur a hefty fine of $180. Are there any questions?"

At this, a male student in the crowd inquires, "How much for a season pass?"

Well, here's hopin' the weather's great where ever y'all are at! Enjoy the day, be safe, stay well, don't do anything clumsy or dumb and remember to play nice!

Yep and could use some midnight musings around here, too. (Hint, hint.)

14. Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

28. The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was the Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola.

Good Morning everyone ! The heat seems to be finally breaking here although the humidity is still a brute. They say today will see the end of it. I certainly do hope they are right.

TiSC .. thank you for your concern. I really have nothing to report at this point. We don't have the reports yet.

They did a complete body MRI in addition to the other xrays and scan so hopefully we will finally have some insight into whatever the problem has been all these long months. Last week Les also had extensive blood and urine tests which had been ordered by his oncologist so the combination should provide answers finally.

Now we wait and

Phyllis Diller is not Susan Lucci's mother.

And what exactly is a Captain Kirk mask?

Unless you can disprove the first statement above, I will be forced to conclude that everything I have come to believe about the veracity of "swamp dwellers" is false. And I'll be forced to go over to the dark side.

Think they'd have me?

I dispute the first statement ! The resemblance is uncanny ! .... Anyone who can see knows they are mother and daughter.
