Spaghetti

A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant.

Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.

She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card and write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support payments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.

"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today."

"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it," he said.

The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.

On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without." 🤯

Tis The Season

~~Stress Less This Christmas~~

 Christmas is right around the corner, and I haven’t purchased one single gift . . . not for ANYONE! I’m still busy sorting and decluttering after moving. I haven’t done any decorating. No tree, no garland, and the stockings are NOT hung by the chimney AT ALL!

 I hadn’t thought much about it until my daughter offered me a small Christmas tree that she was preparing to donate to Goodwill. Then . . . a light came on in my head . . . It’s time to decorate for Christmas! That thought, along with my already convoluted “to-do” stuff, triggered something inside me . . . STRESS!

 Since I am already coping with some level of stress, I need to do something to relieve it. I learned some time ago that effective stress-relief techniques focus on relaxing the mind and the body.

For starters, I can relieve a lot of my stress by dumping limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are those things I believe about myself that place limitations on my abilities.

Question: Is it possible to relieve stress?

Answer: Yes. But, before I go on if your level of stress is serious, consult your physician. But, if you think you can take charge of your stress, here are a few things that can help.

- Learn to have a sense of humor
- Try yoga: no legs behind the neck here though
- Aroma therapy works wonders
- Exercise for 30 minutes

- Take a walk in the fresh air

-Listen to some relaxing music
- Try dance and creative movement
- Eat Chocolate, eat it in moderation or open a candy bar and just smell it
- Relaxation & deep breathing exercises provide immediate relief
- Take a six minute vacation (let your mind wander freely)
- Communicate: talking with friends, family, a counselor, or a member of the clergy   about your feelings is a healthy way to relieve stress
- Set more realistic goals: for yourself and others (those close to you)
- Develop a hobby: writing, blogging, fishing, knitting, photography, woodworking, anything. Do something fun with your hands

Find your inner peace - - learn how to relieve your stress by finding what works best for you.

Christmas Decorating Tips

                                                                                            My Photo-2012
Here we are, December 11^th already, and Christmas is just around the corner. I’m NOT ready! Are you? Trying to get ready and get myself in the mood, I started thinking about where to start searching for my Christmas decorations. Ummm . . . where in the middle of all this unpacked stuff, could they possibly be?!

 While thinking about it, I checked-out a blog I started and removed from public view about Christmas Decorations & Ideas. I found some fun . . .

Christmas Decorating Tips

1.   Choose simple Christmas centerpieces. They look great despite the fact they are plain. A few candles and some red bows will transform them into instantly elegant pieces.

2.   A fast and super- easy way to decorate and add a warm holiday touch is to use a small pre-lit Christmas tree that comes already decorated. Put one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom.

3.   Arrange your Christmas figurines and candles in groups for a stunning effect. Groups of 3 or 5 will make your mantel more interesting and appealing.

4.   Water your live Christmas tree daily so it won’t dry out and become a fire hazard.

5.   Don’t limit your decorations to your Christmas tree. Use some ornaments and bows to decorate other large house plants.

Hopefully, these few tips will get your inspiration juices flowing and get you in the mood for decorating your home for Christmas.

I was having trouble with my computer. So, I called Richard, the 11-year-old next door whose bedroom looks like a Mission Control Station and asked him to come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong? He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless I inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.' 

Richard grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?' 

'No,' I replied. 'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.' 

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T ...

I used to like that little farrt.............

A man buys a parrot, only to have it constantly insult him. He tries everything to make the parrot stop, but nothing works. Frustrated, the man puts the parrot in the freezer. After a few minutes the insults stop. 

The man thinks he might have killed the parrot, so he opens the freezer and takes the parrot out. The parrot is shivering. It stammers, “S-s-sorry for being r-r-rude. Please f-f-forgive me.” 

Then, after a moment, the parrot softly asks, “W-w-what exactly d-d-did the turkey do?”

“If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad at turkeys. There’s turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. 

Someone needs to tell the turkey, ‘Man, just be yourself.'” —Mitch Hedberg.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

1^st… Remember …
They Walk Among Us!

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6.

 

He thought about it for some time before responding.

"Ummm, Just cut it ...

...into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

 

Yes, They Walk Among Us!

A dog is so smart that his master decides to send him to college. Home for vacation, his master asks him how college is going.

"Well", says the dog, "I'm not doing too great in science and math, but I have made a lot of progress in foreign languages."

"Really!" says the master. "Say something in a foreign language."

The dog says, "Meow !"

Sunday Afternoon

Today Was an Awesome Sunday Afternoon

Today the weather was gorgeous, sun shining off and on, beautiful white fluffy clouds fill the sky, gentle breezes whispering through tree branches, birds seem to be taking a vacation today, but the usual neighborhood cats roam freely around the back yard … again… searching for goodies.  It all reminds me how much I love quiet Sunday afternoons.

Sunday afternoons are perfect for doing as much nothing as you can possibly get away with. Since I couldn’t very well “do nothing” ALL day, I decided to cook enough to eat healthy today and maybe have a bite left for tomorrow.

My first thought was to throw some meat in the oven and open a couple of cans of “something” to go along with it. I ended up throwing some chicken breasts in the oven, then wondering which cans of WHAT to crack open to go with the chicken.

Got that done and put my timer on to check on the chicken breasts. I don’t have anything sweet … ummm?... Guess that’s ok…I have some cookies and other sweet stuff stashed away.

Cooking is done and I’ll have leftovers for tomorrow. That’s good, I hate cooking. Dinner is done so I’m through. Now to relax and get ready for the new week ahead.

So, How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun and interesting? Care to share? Let us hear about it in the comments section.

DISCLAIMER: Guess I've been away much too long, can't get the formatting right. I'm too discombobulated to mess around with it anymore!!! SO, "scuse me" PLEASE!

Delete That! 

This cracked me up...😅

Two old men go to an escort service house. The madam asks them what they want. They say women. She asks, "How old are you?" They say 90. 

So, she tells one of the girls to take them upstairs and put each of them in a room with a blow-up doll. 

So, they go upstairs and do their thing. 

When they come back downstairs the first old man asks the other "How was it?" 

The other one says, "I think she was dead, she just layed there, how was yours?" 

"I think mine was a witch." 

"A witch?" 

"Yeah, I bit her on the tit, she farted and flew out the window."

They Live Among Us

Dumb Criminals

A Charlotte, NC, man having purchased a case of very rare, very expensive cigars, insured them against fire among other things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of cigars and without having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the man filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the man stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires."

The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The man sued.... and won.

In delivering the ruling the judge agreeing that the claim was frivolous, stated nevertheless that the man held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure against fire, without defining what it considered to be "unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in "the fires."

After the man cashed the check, however, the company had him arrested on 24 counts of arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the man was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.

How The Fight Started

One Saturday morning I got up early . . . 

 

quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage.

I hooked up the boat up to the truck and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.

The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.

I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'

My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?'

And that's how the fight started ...

Something FUN!

A Guide:  How to be Annoying

 

If you find yourself at a loss for something interesting or fun to do, the following "things-to-do" are a sure thing. They will amuse, tickle, or annoy.

Lighten up, life is serious enough!

Buy large quantities of mint dental floss just to lick the flavor off.  

Order a side of pork rinds with your filet mignon.

Sing the Batman theme incessantly.

Repeat everything someone says, as a question.

Wander around the restaurant, asking other diners for their parsley.

Leave tips in foreign currency.

Forget the punchline to a long joke but assure the listener it was a "real hoot."

Follow a few paces behind someone, spraying everything they touch with a can of Lysol.

Deliberately hum songs that will remain lodged in family or co-workers' brains, such as "Feliz Navidad."

Never make eye contact.

Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears.
