A Wee Chuckle for the day,



Psychic Daughter

A father put his three
year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying:
"God b less Mommy,
God bless Daddy,
God bless Grandma
and good-bye Grandpa."
The father asked, "Why did you say good-bye
grandpa?"
The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it
just seemed like the thing to do."
The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence.

A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this:
"God bless Mommy,
God Bless Daddy
and good-bye Grandma."
The next day the grandmother died. Oh my gosh, thought the father, this kid is in contact with the other side.

Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say:
"God bless Mommy
and good-bye Daddy."
He practically went into shock.
He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack! of dawn to go to his office.
He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay.

He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound..
Finally midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.
When he got home his wife said "I've never seen you work so late, what's the matter?"
He said "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life."

She said "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me.

This morning the milkman dropped dead on our porch!!

Mo in Kent, I am a ladies man :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) its just I am fixed up at the moment :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-) :-)

Hi all,

I have just got back from shopping, bought a pair of shoes.

Rita....Thank you .... I have first hand knowledge of a wicked MIL my dear sister went through hell all her married life with her MIL... My sisters husband died aged 50yrs in a terrible motor accident and she had the unfortunate task of looking after her hubby's mother that just because my sister married her only child and took him away from his mother( his mothers words) I might add. Then when my sister could'nt look after her because she got intolerable to care for ....she ended up in a very nice residential home ,that my sister found and organized her moving in ,still the wicked old woman accused her of stealing money from her after MIL gave her power of attorney to pay all her outstanding bills etc.
So my sister gave it all to her son to deal with having worn herself out with worry,now this is the sister that goes to mass every Sunday and wouldn't hurt a fly she's so honest it puts me to shame ....

Well I'm off my soap box now
:-D LOL

I need a drink now :-D

MO & Rolly,

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.........48 years......bet it seems like only last month you had your Wedding.

Best wishes to both of you.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Please MO do not give me that cold you have.. I had enough of being ill for three weeks and I do not want to go through that again.

I hope the day goes well for you even with that horrible cold.

Marilyn I am most impressed with the advice you gave that young girl on that thread. very impressed. she sounded really upset and worried.

I am going to have a cup of tea now. I have just washed my hair. I had a roast dinner today (cheated had it ready made it was in my freezer and I am eating up food from that at the moment I dont buy ready meals normally.)
I made another crumble this morning this time Cherry crumble and made a trifle as well.. I just felt like doing something.

see you all later.


xxxx

Ahhh Foggy, there was me thinking that George was a real ladies man, and would enjoy being surrounded by, us sedate lickle things.
No alchofrol touches my lips, so I would be a proper lady, and I can vouch for Maddie and Yvonne, tea total the pair of them....... Ahem, well perhaps I do tell a few porkies lol.

Many thanks for the Anniversary wishes. Cor just think 48 years, (well in leap year terms only 12). We were going to go out for a meal tonight, but we are both to full of colds to enjoy it, so we will enjoy a slobbery kiss instead. And will have the meal on Saturday instead.

Good afternoon everyone on the friendly thread.

Mo, I have tried to get him to come to a meet with me, think hes scared all you ladies will try to run off with him..LOLOL

I have to tell you. when I typed the last piece above I hit the submit button and waited , it didnt go. I left it made a cup of tea and a slice of toast when I got back it had not moved so I hit submit again it went and two of the
same arrived on the page I deleted one. I am not saying it was slow. lol

Hi everyone,

**********Happy Anniversary MO & Roly***********

I'm off for my walk now.

Back later to read all threads :-D

Morning to all my friends on Friendly thread.

Mo it must be a great worry to you and Roly being as Jason is so far away. but it is good that he knows what the problem is I hope after the funeral he gets a lift home its a hell of a drive. I know that from experience. but as his papers have gone to his doctor the doctor will have chance to study them. I would think they would get him to the top of the list. due to his age and the problem ? lets hope so.

Stephen. I think the meet will have to be a standing one for me to attend as I have a problem once I get down to getting up. unless you intend to leave me down.

I hope the meet goes off well.it must be nice to all meet up and see the faces and meet the people who we speak to on this thread.

I didnt know it was Mo and Rolys anniversary today they kept that quiet. ?happy anniversary to you both I thought we had said that in the year. just shows you what age does to you makes your mind go

Morning Linda enjoy your day. it isnt a very nice sunny day today rather grey and overcast but I bet it will be sunny when you see your Grandson .

have a good day everyone

Morning Stephen and Pauline and all others
Well dull again here this morning.
Managed to get out in the garden yesterday and did some pruning and general tidying up. Feels good somehow.
Off to see our grandson this morning, while the car has a quick check on a faulty CD player.
Finished the cardigan last night. So stated a pink one for my cousin's daughter in Canada.... expecting her third baby a second daughter, So I can make to colour this time.
Glad your son is a bit better Mo and hope the funeral isn't too stressful, and that he gets back OK with his car.

Take care everyone

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Morning all.

Stephen, that meet sounds really great, I think I'll be busy that day though........... so I might have to give it a miss.

Mo, if all the other relatives are going up there by plane I'm sure one of them will offer to drive your son back home.

By the way, Happy Anniversary for today, Mo and Roly, some good news would be a good present for you both. <3 <3

Have a good day everyone. :-) :-)

A Wee Chuckle for the day

Scotch with two drops of water

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.

As the bartender gives her the drink she says, 'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today..'

The bartender says, 'Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.'

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, 'I would like to buy you a drink, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming up,' says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming right up,' the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, 'Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?'

The old woman replies,

'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor.

Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'

Morning All !

Mild and balmy here !!!!!!!!!! :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

But I think I'll leave the shorts and T Shirt in the drawers for another few weeks yet ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Mo , At least your son is getting good attention from the Docs. Hoping all goes well with his treatment.

I think we should arrange a Friendly Thread Meet.

I can access a few tents and sleeping bags and I know some lovely spots for camping with all Mod Cons. ie.

Running Water.......from the river....

A Jacuzzi.....ie a nice deep Pool in the river,

Flush Toilets......ie when you bare your bum you Flush with embarassment.

Fridge/Freezer......you bury the food in the snow.

Mobile Cooker.....you put the Primus any place you want to.

Air Conditioned Tents.....the Air comes in what ever the conditions outside.

I'm sure we would have a ball :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well, keep safe , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi Mo.

So glad Son is on his way back from Scotland.....if someone gave him a lift back Mo what would happen to his car ?

Glad to see that the records are coming back with him or sent , I'm sure he'll see a consultant soon.....lets hope so anyway..
