Well, this week has gone by fast, hasn’t it?  It’s Thursday already!  I’ve gotten some really nice comments lately about people being happy to receive their copies of DL.  I just want to say thank you for showing such love!  I deeply appreciate that kind of feedback.  Thank you very much.

I don’t really have much to add right now, although I have forgotten in the last couple of issues to put the nose art pictures back in, so I have to remember to put them back in.  So, remind me before I finish this issue out. 

I am annoyed as crap that we have PROOF of Biden taking bribes and no one is doing a damn thing about it.  And yet they are fabricating crap to try and frame Trump.  Tell me again how we are all fair and equal under the law. 

Anyway, I’ve shouted about this until I’m blue in the face…and I’m a blue dragon, so you know how hard that is to do???  So, let’s get started on the laughter and we’ll get to the ranting stuff later … maybe. 

Well, I’m so very, very glad that I am WAY ahead of schedule with this one, since I just came back to finish it up and found out that it is completely disappeared.  From almost done to completely gone overnight.  So, what’s a dragon to do other than pull up his pants and start over again!  Luckily the system saves the pictures, so I’ll still have those, but none of the jokes in-between.

But, we’re going to start with a couple of runs of Calvin and Hobbs, so let’s get to it!

Joe from NJ and I have had a few conversations about things and one of the things we agree on is how we both feel about nurses.  Here’s a letter I got from him just today:

Impish,

I only recently learned that Marsha is a Nurse. A profession that deserves the highest possible respect. Over the past approx. 13 years I have had close dealings with more Nurses than I can recall. A lot of people go through life thinking a Nurse is just the person taking your vitals in the exam room before your doctor comes in. That image drastically changes when you’re recovering from any type of operation and you need a med or some kind of help in the middle of the night. One push of the button and one of those nerves of steel angels is asking what they can do for you. If the problem is bad enough you’ll have two of them in your room STAT. While you’re upset and telling them you’re sorry, they’re dealing with the immediate problem and calming you down, assuring you everything is ok and you’ll be fine. I can honestly say I’ve never had a less than outstanding nurse taking care of me during my ordeals. As a Navy and Air Force Veteran, I’ve had a lot of emergency first aid training. It’s easy to tell when I have a Pro working on me. If every nurse found out when they woke up tomorrow that their pay had been doubled, they would still be terribly under paid.

Regards,

…Joe in NJ

Joe, I couldn’t agree with you more.  I won’t go into the details of dealing with all the nurses in my life, but suffice it to say that it has been numerous and often.  They are definitely the underdogs of the medical community and deserve way more than they get.  To all our dear, wonderful nurses out there as readers, we thank and cherish each and every one of you.  I know of at least two of you, if there are any more, you should speak up and let us know.

Some of these we’ve heard before…a lot of these we’ve heard before, but they’re still funny, so let’s read them again, okay?

It’s not a middle finger, it’s my unicorn fist.

Your veterinarian won’t tell you this but if your dog is running a fever, go to the store and get some mustard.  It’s the best thing for a hot dog.

Answer will be in a couple of panels…and I will tell you that’s it’s more than you think it is.

Are you ready for the answer? 

Think you got it right? 

I got it wrong? 

I was short by 4. 

Want to change your answer? 

You sure?

Okay, here it goes.

Last chance.

No more chances after this.

I’m going to tell you right now.

This is it.

44.

I know, right!

Okay, be honest, who got it right?

“Read you a night time story?  Well, okay.  Once upon a time, there was a young dragon…”

Tried to throw a slightly neglected baby doll into the toy basket and my three year old shrieked, “THAT’S MY DAUGHTER!!”  I had no idea.

Neighbor:  Hi buddy, how you doing this morning? 

My 3 year-old:  Good.  My mom puts heavy things on me at night so I can’t move or get out of bed.

A weighted blanket.  We gave him a weighted blanket.

I guess some people start a task and then just finish it instead of trying to do 14 things at once like a squirrel on cocaine.

I honestly don’t remember what I captioned this one.  I’m SURE it had something to do with her mask or her armor and nothing at all to do with her clevege.  

I know that when I die, one of my Grandkids will lean over my coffin and whisper, “Can I play a game on your phone?”

It takes a special person to wake up early and still be late.

I’m lazy, chubby, and cynical.  I love food, naps, and coffee.  I hate Mondays, people, and exercise.  I never thought I’d grow up to be Garfield.

There is not one person walking this earth that is worth you laying up at night feeling that you are not good enough. 

You are so much more than good enough and it’s about time that you understand that!

I was today years old when I learned that it’s …

HARD AS HAIL,

not

HARD AS HELL…

I want to thank Aussie Pete for the great GIFs that he sends me!

True friends don’t get offended when you insult them.  They laugh and insult you with something even better.

Well, that’s the way guys work, anyway.

They say it takes a village, I also believe it takes a distillery.

It’s not always the tears that measure the pain.  Sometimes it’s the smile we fake.

It’s better to grow old with a sense of humor than to grow old with no sense at all.

Body:  So tired. 

Anxiety:  We have so much to do. 

Depression:  Let’s just sleep forever.

Insomnia:  LOL!  Good luck with that! 

Pain:  [kicks in the door] ‘Sup guys!

He said there was no spark between us anymore.

So I tasered him!!!

(I’ll ask him again when he wakes up)

Restaurant toilets are so dangerous!  So many of my dates have gone to use them and vanished!

There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator.

Only a fraction of people will find this funny.

I listen to all the voices in my head… except for the one named Reason.  He makes NO sense to me.

Sometimes, not saying anything is the best answer.  You see, silence can never be misquoted.  

I’m not normal.

I don’t want to be.
I don’t pretend to be.

I am me.

Okay dude.  You are smoking stuff that is WAY TOO STRONG!

Finally my winter fat is gone, now I have spring rolls.

Margie:  We can’t curse around the kids anymore.  

John:  What should I say instead of Bull- 

Margie:  Shhh!  Say snake instead. 

John:  [whispering] This is snakeshit…

And that’s it my friends.  Caught up and finished up and set up and ready to go for Thursday.  May God Bless you with Love and Happiness until we meet again.
