I’m feeling especially lonely and depressed lately.  Mother’s Day, as you can imagine, is not one of my favorite days of the year here lately.  But, I think it’s more than that and I’m not sure why it’s bothering me now more than it has in a while.  As much as God has told me to just carry on and do His will, it’s still very hard … because … well … because I’m really lonely.

I shouldn’t be.  I have friends at church, friends at work, dart friends, and of course, all of you campers

Stephen B. sends us this one…and it is way cool: He says it’s his latest carving. 

This is a gnome door.  My wife claimed it even before I painted it. It is about 7″ tall and 6″ wide.

That is way, way cool my friend..

No one will give a pauper bread (or alms to the poor), but everybody will give him advice.

This one REALLY cracked me up!  I’m not sure why.  It’s funny and all, but not for the overwhelming laughter this one got out of me.

Over 100 years ago, two brothers announced they could fly!  Turns out they were Wright…

Sometimes the dragon in the kitchen really IS a dragon in the kitchen…but in THIS instance, I’m going with drugs…and good ones, too.

I have GOT to get me one of these!!!!

I met a nun who wiped her nose on her clothes. 

She had a nasty habit.

A truck loaded with Vicks Vapor Rub overturned on the highway. 

Amazingly, there was no congestion for eight hours.

I just posted a selfie and people told me to get well soon!

It’s a great tree that protects our northern most village.  Dragon Laffs is far reaching.

Brazil is known for many things…soccer, Carnival, Rio De Janiero, Amazon Rain Forest, to name a few.  Here’s something new to be added to the list… green peas is one of the more popular pizza toppings.

Potatoes make french fries, chips, and vodka.  It’s like the other vegetables aren’t even trying.

My wife said, “I can think of 14 reasons to leave you, plus your obsession with tennis.”

I replied, “That’s 15 love.”

I agree, I think this is probably the coolest cat picture of all time.

My wife left me today, she says I put sports ahead of our relationship.  We were together 6 seasons.

If you put a lasagna on top of another lasagna, it’s no longer two lasagnas.  It’s one giant lasagna.  THAT is the power of lasagna.  https://www.epicurean.com/articles/lasagna-bob.html

Why, oh why is that a sign that is required?

7.5 billion people on earth and somehow I’m the best driver.

I met a magical fairy yesterday who said she would grant me one wish.

“I wish to live forever,” I said.

“Sorry,” said the fairy.  “I’m not allowed to grant that particular wish.”

“Fine,” I said, “then I want to die the day after Congress is filled with honest, hard-working, bipartisan men and women who act only in the people’s best interests!”

“You crafty bastard,” replied the fairy.

Why do black lives only seem to matter when a white man takes it?  Sadly, thousands of black lives are lost to black on black crime every year in America and nobody seems to do much to try and stop it and nobody riots to bring change.  Just this dragon and others asking a question that’s worth pondering.

When older people say, “Enjoy them while they are young” they are talking your knees and hips not your kids.

I asked an EOD guy once about the stress of bomb defusing.  He shrugged and said, “It’s not.  I’m either right, or suddenly it’s not my problem any more.”

I try to stick to that perspective. 

Again, I have to ask, why is it that we have to have this sign?

Now THIS sign I can completely understand.

Probably another necessary sign.

I had to quit my job as a professional body builder. 

I just gave my too weak notice.

I’m seeing grown men in Miami for Spring Break. 
Nathanial, you are 43. 
You are not on Spring Break! 
You are on Sick Leave!

You have got to be flippin’ kidding me!!!! 

I just got this email from Stephen B.

I agree with you completely on the Vets being displaced for illegals and yes, I am from NY.  Now the rile you up a little more…..There are PUBLIC SCHOOLS in Brooklyn, NY that are opening their gyms to illegals to live in, WHILE OUR CHILDREN ARE STILL GOING TO SCHOOL THERE!  WTF IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?????? I am so glad I am old and probably won’t see the climatic end to this way of thinking.  But I feel sorry for my grandkids.  What will happen to them?  Will another Civil War happen?  Anyhoo, here is a link to one of the articles, should you care to look at it.

I repeat my earlier statement!  You have got to be flippin’ kidding me!  It’s not bad enough that they are displacing veterans out of their shelters, now they are putting invaders, criminals, strangers, illegals, possibly sick or diseased in with our children in the gymnasium in their school.  In the GRAMMAR SCHOOL!  That’s 6th grade and under!  ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!!!  This is unconscionable!!!!   And they did it without the permission of the school, the parents or anybody!  WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!!!!

Here is the link address to the article so you can read it for yourself:  https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/new-york-elections-government/ny-migrant-crisis-housing-coney-island-brooklyn-public-school-gym-20230513-pgfvc6z3k5c5jm66wnxqlkh4d4-story.html

If this is not proof that Biden and the current administration is NOT FIT FOR OFFICE and doesn’t have a clue what SERVING THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MEANS than I don’t know what does.  What in the world do we have to do, catch him accepting bribes?  Oh, yeah!  WE’VE DONE THAT AND IT DOESN’T SEEM TO MATTER AT ALL!!!!
