NOW!

Not lurking Heidi, reading!

Look at that, first and second!

Glad your truck is fixed, I think there was something else about tyres but I'll have to go back to check. I was having so much fun reading and laughing that I've lost track of who said what! At least my computer is rocking and rolling this morning....

Suzy!
I was getting lonely.

'Tweren't my truck, it was my big tractor.

And you hay bailer?

Gail, how was dinner last night? The message is pages and pages ago, but I think it was only last night!

28 – June
13 - Heidi (and she's moving up the pack!)
12 - Suzy
10 – eaa, MizTricia

I can't believe I've made it to almost half of June's count!

I am not sure if that tally is an achievement or an embarrassment. SAeems I spend too much time at the pooter. Sucky lady comes today so must pick things up so she can get around.

Bean, having some one to come in and vacuum has made us be much tidier.(although it did mean a few more things got stuffed into boxes)

Definitely an achievement June!!!! If it weren't we all wouldn't be trying to catch you..

I thought you were all trying Suzy!

I thought it was just a pathetic cry for attention. Or sympathy. Apparently, we spend WAYYYYYYYYY too much time playing on here.
Well, I think that I may try to take a short nap (is that even LESS of a life?), then do the feeding.

We are, did I mess that sentence up? Must have!

My blue light says my computer should be rocking and rolling, but it's crawling right now...

yeah! i'm home for a bit. i've been gone all day doing house stuff, then shopped for elsa. that is actually fun cause everything looks cute on her. i'm sending blue light thoughts for your computer. poor thing, you must be abusing it!!!

Here ya go, Suzy.

What's a blue light????

Good afternoon all.

Glad you all liked the dog story. I ahve another funny to post.

ahve = have

Subject: Think before you speak!!

Go pee before you read; you will surely wet your pants laughing!!!

Think before you Speak!!

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak, the last one is great!

Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back... or that you could crawl into a hole?

Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....

FIRST TESTIMONY:

I walked into a hair salon w ith my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?' I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word... he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY:

I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help
me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing
with men's balls'

THIRD TESTIMONY:

My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help..
I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.'
My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.
To this day, my sister ha s never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY:

While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and
annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving right now' she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell
Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!' The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers
stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my d ignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY:

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in
between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled
something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No'. I kept thinking, 'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.' Then I said, 'Danny, are you
SURE you didn't have an accident?' 'No,' he replied. I just KNEW that he must

Hi Tami looking forward to reading another funny post from you. the dog one really did brighten my day

Morning everyone,
Starting a bit slow this morning,
Very bad sleep, tossed and turned all night,
and you can tell just about stripped the bed, what a mess, will make my second coffee shortly to recharge the batteries, hope it works.....

Brenda, I get some very funny emails. I will try to share the best of them. I am glad I helped to brighten your day. My friend Suzanne sent it to me. She some how always knows when I need a boost even though she lives on the other side of the country in Utah. I am not happy at work right now and am counting the days until the end of the school year, next June, so that I can put in for a transfer to a new school.

Liz, I hope things perk up for you. I know what it is like to have a bad night sleep. It makes for a rough day. Hope the coffee helps.

Morning Brenda morning Tammi
another story would be good Tami
and Becky talking about hording, I watched Oprah yesterday and thats what it was about, I have a prob too, got most of my parents things,
I can't get my car into the garage, walls are lined with boxes,but can't bring myself to throw things out.

Morning All, no chance to catch up with you chatty lot!
Well I get a camera stuck up my butt at the end of the month Whoo Hoo!
Have to shake that tail feather, my last working day today!

Heidi, my wireless connection thingy has a light on it. When it's green it means slow, when it's blue it's supposed to mean fast! It was blue, but now it is green... sob.

1- Cleaning Lady

During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?'

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.

'Absolutely, ' said the professor. 'In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello.'

I've never forgotten that lesson. (Her name was Dorothy).

2 - Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.

Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.

It read:
'Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.'


Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.

Sorry, I just realized that 5 got cut in half and 6 got left out.

FIFTH TESTIMONY:

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No'. I kept thinking, 'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.' Then I said, 'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?' 'No,' he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more
time, 'Danny did you have an accident? This
time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!' While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly
pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, TESTIMONY: This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in
the future, likely think before she speaks.

What happens when you predict snow but don't get any! We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,
turned to the weatherman and asked:
'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?' Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were
laughing so hard!

Now, didn't that feel good? Pass it on to someone you know who needs a laugh and remember, we all say things we don't really mean, so think before you speak!!!!!

3 - Always remember those who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.


'How much is an ice cream sundae?' he asked.
'Fifty cents,' replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and
studied the coins in it.

'Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?' he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.

'Thirty-five cents,' she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.
'I'll have the plain ice cream,' he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, told the boy not to take too long eating it, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.



When the waitress came back, she began to wipe down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies…….. she began to cry.

(He couldn't have the sundae, because he did not have enough left to leave her a tip)

And it looks like the race is on.

4 - The obstacle in Our Path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway.

Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded.



After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.



Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

– Give When it Counts...


Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Yes I'll do it if it will save her.' As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, 'Will I start to die right away?'


The little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.



But he did it anyway

Liz, I have read all three of those stories before but they are still beautiful to read. I is good to be reminded of the good things once in a while.

Thanks for sharing, Liz.
