"After three days men grow weary of a wench, a guest, and rainy weather."
Benjamin Franklin

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. The first said, "I built a big house for our mother." The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she wrote one son, "The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."

"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"

"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious."

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, “Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?” The first man approached him and said, “Sir, I don’t wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I’ve ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?” The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied, “My wife’s first husband.”

Two hunters are in the woods in deer season. The morning hunt over, they head back to camp together. As they make their way along the path, they hear a loud crashing noise and look up to see a very large bear charging down a hillside. Realizing simultaneously, that they are the bear's intended targets, not to mention lunch, one of the hunters immediately takes off his back pack, drops to the ground and begins to change from his hunting boots to tennis shoes. The other hunter bewildered asks "You don't really think you can out run that bear do you?" The first hunter replies, "No, but I can outrun you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the Mrs awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother. The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her. The wife cried, "What are we going to do?" "Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."

There was 3 guys stranded in the mountains and they weren't going to be rescued for 3 days. So they all made a plan that each night one would get the food. So the first night the 1st guy goes out and comes back with a big deer. So the guy who was hunting tomorrow ask for advice on how to catch another one, and the guy said see tracks, follow tracks, BAM!! shot the deer... So the next night the 2nd guy went out and came back with an even bigger deer than the 1st guys, and the 3rd guy was amazed so he asked how he could catch one like that for the next night. And the guy told him see tracks, follow tracks, BAM!! shot the deer... The next night the 3rd guy went out to get a deer and comes back hours later all beat up and bloody, so the the other 2 guys ask what happen. And the guy said i seen tracks, followed tracks, BAM!! got hit by train.

A couple of Oklahoma hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, lets make sure he's dead."

... There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "OK, now what?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the police station, Bubba explained to the police officer why his cousins shot him. "Well," Bubba began, "We wuz havin' a good time drinking, when my cousin Ray picked up his shotgun and said, 'Hey, der ya fellows wanna go hunting?'" "And then what happened?" the officer interrupted. "From what I remember," Bubba said, "I stood up and said, 'Sure, I'm game.'"

Good morning everyone, and everytwo.

Happy sunny Sunday funday morning.

I sure keep spell check busy.

Now, what wuz I gunna talk about?

I'm not really leaning towards a very long dialogue here.

It's more like I'm leaning towards the bedroom.

I mean I'm really leaning towards the bedroom.

I'm almost horizontal, I'm leaning so much.

I guess my sleeping pills are working.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What's that buzzing noise?

I thought I would get the diner started, and then go do some gaming, but I started the post about a half hour ago, and I have a bald spot on my head now from scratching my noggin so much.

I may not have a hair left by the time I finish this thing.

On the bright side I don't have to cut my hair anymore.

I guess I don't have to worry then, because it'll be all-bright.

Nobody can ever call me Harry either.

They don't call me Harry now though.

Why would they, I'm not Harry?

I'm Confused......and tired.

Have a harry happy day everyboomie.

joe

Hi Joe, I hope you are leaning towards a wonderful day! Do they play Christmas songs all day at Lowes?

I'm going to try and get to an early class today but we'll see. The rest of day depends on when I get my project.

I hope you all have a great day!

Ana

Hi Joe and Ana and all boomers to follow.
Hope everyone has a Super Sunday

Have a terrific Sunday Joe, Ana, manxman and all who come in after me.

I figured I'd say a quick hello and goodbye now, as I may not have time in the morning. I have to be at work at 5 am, which means I have to get up around 3:30. This coming week is going to be stressful, but at least I'll have plenty of hours.

I should have gone to sleep sooner, but as I wasn't feeling well these past couple of days, my sleep cycle has its own ideas.

Anyway, off to bed now. Have a terrific Sunday, everyone.

Have a great Sunday Boomers.

manxman, have a great day!

Venus, I hope work goes well.

SpaceQ,

Ana

Good Morning Joe, Ana, manxman, venus, SpaceQ, Haroula, Nan, and Cailn. Sure is a full Diner this morning. Hope everyone has a Super Day!

Good morning. Today is moving day so this will be the last time I'll be able to get to the diner for a few days. Have a great Sunday everyone. I have to work this morning but only for a few hours. Yesterday wasn't a good day for me. My car died leaving the parking lot at Stop N Shop. Called my mechanic, then AAA. He came and towed my car to my mechanic's shop. Rob came and picked me up there and let me take his truck. It's a little confusing what happens this morning though. I'll call Rob this morning to ask about what time his friends are coming to move me. Ugh! The timing couldn't be any worse. I had things in my car to take to my new apartment. Enough about that. See you guys in a few days.

Midgie

Good SunFunday everybody

Again nice weather here in Switzerland but a bit too cold for my taste. It's 11.30 a.m. and I'am showered, fed and I answered the pending emails, so the rest of Sunay is relaxing.

Looney: wishing you and Soot to get well soon, so you can travel and enjoy Thanksgiving. You can do it!

Trippy: my friends Doberman has a black tan and says hi to your dogs too. She's a sweetie and I guess (fear) she's a companion dog all right. She should protect my friend because she's living alone in a house very secluded, in near France, but the doggie isn't trained as a watchdog. She's often ill too. 2 weeks ago she had a stomach torsion and almost died. She's only 3 years old. My friend had other Dobermans before Eilika and they got very old.

Joe: I hear you You poor boy are having a full time job in the JoekBucks diner. But the food and drink is marvelous!

When Ana asked Joe if there are Christmas songs played at Lowes the whole day, I just thought: I would go crazy having to listen to Christmas songs the whole day, and the whole month, and more, until Christmas. That would be a new thread: Do you like music (isn't this kind of music called muzzak?) in the stores.

Midge: awwww those little pinpricks in life. I'am sorry about the car. I hope your moving day will go by smoothly. See you again when Internet is up. HUGS!

I'am wishing a wonderfull and peaceful Sunday to all my friends here!

Evelyne

Joe, have a great when you awake.

Ana, Manxman, Venus, Space, Nan, I just realized that you all haven't gotten up yet. Good day when you do.

Haroula, happy day to you.

Cailyn, Coffee pleeese!

Gerry, enjoy whatever you have planned today.

Church this morning then a nice easy, quiet, relaxing day is in store.

Midgie, nothing ever runs smoothly I guess. Hope your move does though. Too bad about the car hope everything else goes well for you today!

Evelyne, wishing you a super Sunday!

Good morning everyone. Breakfast out this morning. A Walmart trip with SIL is in the cards later today. Midge, I hope it's nothing serious with the car. L4L and Soot, prayers you are both feeling better so you can make your trip. To all here and all who follow, have a Wonderful Sunday. Danish, Omelets, Home Fries, English Muffins, and Pumpkin Pancakes in the NC.

Super Sunday ya'll

Woke up to son and kids in the den watching movies.

I am feeling more like myself, but Soot is spiraling down a bit.

Off to look for some quiet.

Haroula enjoy dinner. Stay dry!!

Cailyn thanks for the coffee. Aw!!! That first sip!! Have a lovely day!

Gerry have a nice walk and a nice day!

Aw Midge sorry about the car. HUGS! Prayers that the move goes smoothly today and that the car is a simple and inexpensive fix!!

Evelyne I don't mind some music in the stores but they start it soooo early! If I had to work with it all day it would depend on the type of music being played.

Glad the weather is nice. We had some rain last night but the temp wasn't too bad. Like around 42F. We arfe at 50F now, which is nice for this time of the year. Have a lovely day!!

Gail enjoy your easy, quiet, relaxing afternoon after church!

Connie have a fun trip to Wally World and enjoy breakfast out!! Thanks for the danish! Yummmy!!

L4l glad that you are feeling better. Prayers that Soot will follow suit!! have a lovely day!


Nan

Good morning boomies! I slept in today, but not really since we went to sleep in the wee hours.

It's a beautiful day out and hubby is golfing and I am heading to the park with the pups. My grandpuppy got bit at the dog park and just got back from a 400 dollar vet visit and is wearing the cone of shame.

Nan, enjoy your easy day. I hope nothing comes up that requires you to run around unless it's a fun thing.

L4L, glad to hear you are feeling better. I hope soot follows in the same footsteps.

Connie, have fun shopping.

Gail, have a great day!

Evelyne, I hope your day stays relaxing. Any new ceramics you are working on?

Midgie, sorry to hear about your car. I hope it's nothing serious. Is your new place still close to work and Rob?

Gerry, have a great Sunday.

Sue, thanks for the coffee.

Haroula, enjoy your rainy day.

Ana

Came back from our walk. Went out the back door with my friend (who lives behind me) and as we went out the gate we encountered a tall male walking UP from the back. We have no access from the back from the street over there so he must have hopped some fences. He immediately seemed flustered and started asking us if we had seen a teen on a small red bike. He said the teen just slapped his 3 year old brother and took the bike and headed this way.

Hummmmm. I'm wondering if the bike rider hopped the fence? Don't think so. Then again, hopping would have been a shortcut to the nearest street to catch the guy who would have had to ride it around the block.

Not really sure if I believe the guy, and we pointed out that if anyone had come UP the driveway, they would have triggered the driveway alarms (which were not going off until we went out there to talk to him). He now knows we have alarms. Watched him walk up the next side street and he 'seemed' to be actually looking down driveways and around parked cars, possible for the bike or the thief.

They jury is out on this one for now. Quite a story but then again, it could have happened. He said his mom already called the cops. We shall see. He was nicely dressed and didn't seem like a transient. I dunno.

Turning on my security recorders for today to see what goes.

Hullo Boomers! I hoep everyone is having a wonderful weekend. We have been gearing up for our first big storm. It is already getting quite gusty. The warning is for 1 PM this afternoon til 7 PM tomorrow. That is for high winds...40-50 MPH with 60-70- MPH gusts possible and 80-90 MPH gusts possible on the headlands, like Cape Blanco which is about 14 miles from here as the crow flies. Also have a flood advisory for low lying areas, which happily, doesn't include us. I don't like high winds just in case anyone isn't aware of this fact. Hubby is now in the middle of fixing his shop wall and it is all apart. He has it bolstered up the best he can and all we can do is pray it doesn't blow apart. He has his Camaro out and tarped up for now. I do have a car phone charger in case of elec. loss and can probably do internet that way if I think of it, lol. Our little town is very good about restoring elec. usually. Going to do a LOT of gaming to keep me occupied. So Happy Gaming everyone!!

It's already bedtime here in Switzerland, so this girl is going now.

Nan: thank you for your vote!

Ana: yes, I'am working on a few new things. Will take pictures and post them.

Lotus, sweetie, please take care. Stuff some marshmallows into your ears and play some loud rock-and-roll disks while the storm is howling.

I wish all of you a great afternoon and a relaxing evening. HUGS all around...

Evelyne

Afternoon already; got home after 9 last nite but after having 3-4 cups of regular coffee during the tournament found it quite difficult to get to sleep until after midnite. Have to admit I totally blew all my pool shots and my partner and I lost, lost, lost. Worst shooting I think I've ever done.
But woke to a sunny day and 50 degrees.

Evelyne, does your friend feed Eilika from a raised bowl. With deep chested dogs it's recommended for an easier digestive process.

Midgie my friend may all go smoothly with the final move and certainly hope it's nothing major with your car.

Ahhhh, son took whiny kids to the park to run out energy. Do you hear that? Neither do I.

L4l for son!! Enjoy the quiet while you can.

Lotus prayers that the storms aren't as bad as they say and that you and hubby are safe!! Happy gaming.

Night Evelyne and Haroula sleep well.

Oh Ana poor grandpuppy. Hope you had fun at the park! Been nice here too for this time of the year. Enjoying it and the relaxing day!

Sorta I hope that person was on the up and up and things will be OK! Be safe!

Trippy sorry your shooting was off some last night but hope you had a fun time anyway!! My bowling was too but i did have a great time and lots of laughs.


Nan

Hello there everybody.

I am off of work, and off for a whole day.

Tonight I am relaxing with the tube & laptop.

Tomorrow I will go to Mom's and do what I enjoy doing. Bet you can't guess what that is.

Right now I'm taking in a little foot ball.

My feet don't seem to care for it, but I do.

I hope you're all enjoying your day.
