Birds of a feather flock together . ..

And then poop on your car.

A penny saved is a

Government oversight.


The older you get, the tougher

It is to lose weight, because by

Then your body and your fat have

Gotten to be really good friends.


The easiest way to find

Something lost around the

House is to buy a replacement ...


He who hesitates is probably right.


Did you ever notice: The Roman

Numerals for forty (40) are 'XL'.


The sole purpose of a child's

Middle name is so he can

Tell when he's really in trouble.


Did you ever notice: When you

Put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS'

Together it spells 'Theirs....'


Aging: Eventually you will

Reach a point when you stop

Lying about your age and

Start bragging about it.


Some people try to turn back

Their odometers. Not me, I want

People to know 'why' I look this

Way. I've traveled a long way and

Some of the roads weren't paved.


When you are dissatisfied and

Would like to go back to your

Youth, think of Algebra.


You know you are getting

Old when everything either

Dries up or leaks.


One of the many things no

One tells you about aging

Is that it is such a nice change

From being young. Ah, being

Young is beautiful, but being

Old is comfortable.



Lord, Keep your arm around

My shoulder and your hand Over my mouth . . ..AMEN

Two Alligators were sitting around talking, and the smaller
Alligator turned to the bigger one & said, 'I can't understand how
You can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age; we were the same size as kids.
I just don't get it.'

'Well,' said the big Gator, 'what have you been eating?'

'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Gator.


'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'

'Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Capitol'

'Same here. Hmm. How do you catch them?'

'Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars & wait for one to
Unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake
The shit out of them and eat 'em! '


'Ah!' says the big Alligator, 'I think I see your problem.. You're
Not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish
Shaking the shit out of a politician, there's nothing left but an
Asshole and a briefcase.

PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER WORD!! Sep 15, 2011 6:17 pm
3451 Views


I'm sure you will enjoy this. I never knew one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep.

UP

Read until the end ... you'll laugh.

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We callUP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.

At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, lookUP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP!

Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?

U

P!

Did that one crack you UP?

So, there's this yellow toad wandering around in the forest kinda ticked off because he doesn't want to be yellow. Life would be easier if he were green like the other toads.. He'd sure be less visible to predators for one thing. Anyway ... this yellow toad bumps into a fairy godmother.

He begs her: "Fairy godmother, please make me green like the other toads. I am tired of being so visible to predators."

The fairy godmother whips out her magic wand and says, "Toadra-capokus! You're green!"

The toad looks down and sees that he is green except for his package, which is still yellow. He says to the fairy godmother: "Wait a minute! My pecker's still yellow!"

To this the fairy godmother replies: "I don't do johnsons. You will have to go see The Wizard of Oz for that." The toad thanks her and hops off on his way.

There is a purple bear wandering about the very same woods. As luck would have it, he also encounters the very same fairy godmother. He implores her: "Fairy godmother, please make me brown like all the other bears. None of the lady bears want to be seen with me on account that the hunters can spot me from a mile off."

She, being a nice fairy godmother, takes out her magic wand and says:"Bearus-cadabra! You're brown!"

The bear looks down and sees that he is, in fact, brown with the exception of the ole twig and berries. They remain purple. He says: "My Wang is still purple!" She says: "I don't do units, you will have to go see The Wizard of Oz for that."

To this the bear replies: "Well that's just dandy, but how the hell do I find The Wizard of Oz?"

The fairy godmother answers: "That's easy ... just follow the yellowdick Toad!"





Are you kidding me?!

Would you have READ this thing if

I had given a Groaner Alert at the beginning...????!!

I've been feeling out of sorts lately. I would be content to just spend my time sleeping. I'm at the point where I'm sick of people. It's been an effort at times to get out and walk. Still in spite of how I feel I have been making the effort. I spent Monday at mom's and have been going out and hitting a couple of 12 step meetings every week. Isolating makes things worse.

Physically, other then having no energy, I'm feeling good. So, what's going on?

The main thing that has me out of sorts is that I haven't heard from Phil for two weeks. It's not unusual for him to drop out of sight every so often but usually for not this long. I know he is getting ready to move and then start school in Florida next month so he has a lot to get done. He may have decided he needed to get some space on his own.

It frustrates me when I can't get a hold of him and he doesn't met me know what's going on. I'm so use to have daily contact with him that when he's not around he takes the sunshine out of my life with him. Of course getting him to open up and share can be a challenge all it's own. I've learned that it's just best to accept him for who he is and trust that he will share with me what is going on if and when he chooses.

Oh, I know that I shouldn't let someone else control the way I feel. He's the only one who has that power over me and I am hopelessly devoted to him.

Love is not rational, it is just IS!

Vitamin F‏ Aug 23, 2011 2:19 am

A friend shared this article with me and I want to share it with you.

Why do I have a variety of friends who are all different in character ?

Some of them might be considered marginal even ?

How do I get on with them all ?

I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me.

With one of them I am polite. I joke with another friend.

I sit down and talk about serious matters with one of them.

With another I giggle at every silly thing.

I have my wine with one and dance with another.

I listen to one friend's problems and give them advice.

Then I listen to another advising me.

They are all like pieces of a jigsaw,

When completed they form a treasure box.

A treasure of friends!

They are my friends who often understand me better than myself,

who support me through good days and bad days.

They are like colorful anti-depressants that I take on different days.

Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health.

Dr. Oz calls them Vitamins F (from Friends) and counts the benefits of friends to our well being.



Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes.

If you take Vitamin F constantly you can seem 20 years younger than your actual age.

The warmth of friendship can help stop stress and tense moments.

It decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke, some researchers say.



I am so happy that I have a stock of Vitamin F!

In summary we should value our friends and keep in touch with them.
