And here we are back around to another day.  My dearest friends and family, this is for you.  You are the reason I do this.  You are the reason I put effort into…okay, you get the idea.

Anyway, I didn’t make it to church on Sunday like I wanted to, but I DID make it to my Group Grief Therapy last night, and that was after only one week out from my surgery.  I actually drove myself there.  Which was  not near as hard as I thought it would be.  It was, after all, my left leg that was operated on and all the driving is done with your right leg since I don’t have a manual transmission.  So, it was all good.  I stopped the pain pills a few days ago, so there was no impairment issues, either.

And also as of today, I’m pretty much done with my walker and using my cane, except for long distances.  But, around the house and going out to get the mail…I’ve even taken the dogs out a few times on my cane.  The problem with that is that my puppy, Willow Dragon, is a friggin’ BEAST!  She pulls against the leash, even the expanding one and I have to be really careful that she doesn’t pull against me and pop my hip out or pull me over.  So, instead, I have to be ready to let go if it looks like she’s going too fast and won’t stop and will do me damage.  As big as a beast as she is, she still isn’t a year old yet.  But, so far so good.

Anyway, let’s get to the good part of the show, shall we? 

Our dear friend of the show, Friggin’ Pete, came up with a really good question.  He wrote and said, “Don’t you find it kinda odd that Jeffery Epstein was a pedophile who had an island where he took young girls for sex.  He flew tons of major male personalities to that island including top Political Leaders, Major Actors, Billionaires, Business Leaders, Media Personalities and the rich and powerful people from all walks of life.

AND the only one in jail for any of it……is a woman…” 

Yeah, I do find it odd.  And I find it odd that it has all been buried and hidden away and no one has heard a word about it with everything else that’s going on in the world.  Can you imagine if it was a Republican who had done the things that he was accused of, there wouldn’t be a day gone by that we wouldn’t be hearing about it.  Just like Hunter’s laptop.  I can’t believe the pile of bullshit that has become.  There is such a double standard in this world that it sickens me.

“Life is not the way it’s supposed to be – it’s the way it is.

The way you cope with it is what makes the difference” 

After his plane was hit and he was forced to eject, the Marine fighter pilot finally regained consciousness. He was in a hospital in a lot of pain.

He found himself in the ICU with tubes/IV drips in both arms, a breathing mask, wires monitoring every function and a nurse hovering over him looking worried.

It was obvious he was in a life-threatening situation.

The nurse gave him a serious look, straight into his eyes. Knowing he was not only a fighter pilot, but a Marine, she spoke to him softly and slowly, enunciating each word:

“You may not feel anything from the waist down.”

Somehow he managed to mumble in reply, “Can I feel your tits, then?”

And that, my friends, is a real positive attitude.

I’ve just invented a telepathically controlled air freshener.

Makes scents when you think about it.

“Lined up in attack formation…”

It’s like my mom always told me…

“You might not be the dumbest guy in the world, but you better hope he doesn’t die.”

These days, my idea of living dangerously is going grocery shopping without a list.

I love this!

There are still so many people who buy into this one.

I just got a full tank of gas for $22.  Granted, it was for my lawn mower, but I am trying to stay positive here.

And here’s a weird one, sent in by Leah D…it’s the “Anti-Fascist Blues” by Five Times August

Yes!  Beware!  Be very … um … ware…

My daughter asked me what it’s like to have kids, so I interrupted her every 11 seconds until she cried.

I correct autocorrect more than autocorrect corrects me.

Some people are afraid to be corny.

Not me.  I live life on the cob, baby.

Math Teacher:  If I have 5 bottles in one hand and 6 in the other hand, what do I have? 

Student:  A drinking problem.

When someone asks, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years…”

Buddy, I’m just trying to make it to Friday.

You ever had garbage in one hand but you accidentally throw out the thing that you want in your other hand?

LOL!

Anyways, the baby’s ok.

If you don’t get the reference you are really young.

One great thing about Texas heat…

You can guarantee no one is waiting in your backseat to kill you.

And if you don’t get this one, well…then I’m just sorry for you.

When you die, people cry and beg for you to come back…

but, when you do, there’s the running and screaming…

Let’s finish out today’s episode with a couple of more comments, shall we?  This one is from Joe:
