How are you guys doing this Thursday morning?  I’m starting this issue from the vantage point of Sunday afternoon.  I know that doesn’t seem like much of a vantage point, but hear me out. 
It’s a beautiful day. 
It’s 68° outside right now.
I got to sleep in this morning.
Went to Church first thing this morning.
When I got home from Church there were 3 police cars across the street at the crazy neighbors house, so maybe they’re getting some help.
Football is on TV, for free, on the internet (streameast.to)
I have all afternoon and most of the evening to spend with you guys.

Now, not everything is going good for everybody.  My dear little left-wing, socialist, democrat daughter threw Trump at me just a minute ago and reading an article about how he gave a speech and getting A LOT of the details wrong.  Like Biden bringing about World War two, him going against Obama and other glaring mistakes.  And then she made the observation that he is only 3 years younger than Biden.  And like I told her, Trump is really not the best guy to run the country on the republican side either.  The problem is, the best guy, in this Dragon’s opinion, hasn’t shown himself yet.  I’m not crazy about any of the Republican candidates that have put their hats in the ring.  What do you guys think?  Who do you like?  I’d really like to know who and why.  I need someone I can throw back at Izzy Dragon.  LOL! 

Okay, well, we’ll talk more later.  In the mean time, let’s get to laughing, shall we?  Right now my Packers are ahead of the Falcons 17-9.  I really don’t think it’s going to stay that way.  The Falcons have been running all over them for the whole game, but we’ll see.  So for now, …

Burglars are getting very clever these days.  Last night, my wife woke me up, “Darling, darling!  There’s a burglar downstairs!” 

So I go down, check every room and don’t find anyone.

Then I realized I don’t have a wife, and when I went back upstairs my bed and TV were gone.

DEATH
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT…

A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, “Doctor, I am afraid to die.  Tell me what lies on the other side.”

Very quietly, the doctor said, “I don’t know…”

“You don’t know?  You’re a Christian Man, and you don’t know what’s on the other side?  How is that possible?”

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came the sound of scratching and whining.  As he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, “Did you notice my dog?  He’s never been in this room before.  He didn’t know what was inside…what was on the other side of the door.  He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.  I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing…I know my Master is there and that is enough.”

Whoever you are who wrote that, it is beautifully said.  Definitely falls into the category of things I wish I had wrote.

TODAY’S GOOD ADVICE TIP:

Don’t play “LEAPFROG” with a unicorn!

Another one of my (many) baby pictures.

Everyone knows about famous painter Bob Ross, but few have heard about his brother Albert who was famous for his 6 foot wingspan.

I LIKE them!!!

Summer is fun because instead of my kids having to wake up at 6 am to rush around and get ready for school, they wake up at 6 am and get to have the whole entire day to fight.

I just discovered that the word “nothing” is a palindrome…
Backwards it spells “gnihton”, which also means nothing.

And is the ONLY climate or climb it change that makes any kind of sense!

Rumor has it, this is a pencil sketch of our own Stephanie.  I can neither confirm nor deny…

A blonde gets a job as a physical education teacher of 16 year olds.
She notices a boy at the end of the field standing alone, while all the other kids are running around having fun kicking a ball.  She takes pity on him and decides to speak to him.
“You okay?” she says.
“Yes.” he says.
“You can go and play with the other kids you know.” she says.
“It’s best I stay here.” he says.
“Why’s that, sweetie?” asks the blonde.
The boy looks at her incredulously and says, … “Because I’m the Goalie!”

I used to work at a photography studio.  I’m not a photographer, but I know some basics.  Photographer guy, probably in his 50s, tells me the equipment he rented isn’t working and he is ranting on about how he has wasted 25 minutes of his rental time because his camera wasn’t syncing to the lighting equipment.  All in front of his poor clients.  Best moment of my life–as he was cursing me out I walked over and wordlessly plugged it in.  Never seen a grown man turn so red.

Amen ladies!!

My army friend was put in his place when he lost to him mom at the shooting range at the carnival.

I was flying alone and this little girl (maybe 5) wandered down the aisle and said hello.

I asked where her parents were and she said they died and a police officer ws flying with her to take her to her aunt.  My brain was not able to conjure any response at all apart from “errr…sorry.” 

She asked if she could look out my window so I moved over to the aisle seat and let her, me continuously looking for a cop that she might be travelling with. 

She then told me how her parents were driving back from a party last week and their car got pushed off the road by a truck into a tree.  She was quietly crying while telling me this story.  Suddenly I hear, “Oh, there you are.” from the aisle.  There’s a woman standing there.

The girl says, “Hello Mommy,” and leaves with her.

This girl is going to make a GREAT fiction writer some day!

I’ve already given the correct answer to the “Climate Change” question.

A new camp commander was appointed and while inspecting the place, he saw 2 soldiers guarding a bench.

He went over there and asked them why they guard it.

“We don’t know. The last commander told us to do so, and so we did. It is some sort of regimental tradition!”

He searched for the last commander’s phone number and called him to ask him why did he want guards on this particular bench.

“I don’t know. The previous commander had guards, and I kept the tradition.”

Going back another 3 commanders, he found a 100-year-old retired General.

“Excuse me, sir. I’m now the CO of the camp you commanded 60 years ago. I’ve found 2 men assigned to guard a bench. Could you please tell me more about the bench?”

“The bench? What? ! Is the paint still wet?!”

How do fish get high?

Seaweed!!

I think it’s a great idea…if it works!

Or books in School libraries that can’t be read or shown at a School Board Meeting or on the TV News.

Especially for the crime of Treason…like giving money to our enemy or taking bribes from our enemy or NOT protecting our borders from invaders, you know, those TREASONOUS acts that for any other country would be punishable with the above device!

No kidding.  The REAL law-abiding citizens have probably moved away or don’t participate in that Gun Free-zone.  And the partial law-abiding citizens have probably ignored those signs to protect themselves from the criminals who have ignored those signs.

I have no idea if that is a true fact or a made up fact, but it’s not the first time I’ve read or heard something very similar.  So, maybe not exact, but close.  And banning democrats makes more sense than banning guns.

What’s that song?  Try that in a small town?  Yeah.

Yeah, don’t act like you were some angel.

AMEN!!!!  Why is it that you don’t value YOUR life more than I value my property??

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done.  
When I was 15 years old, I was in my kitchen, home alone, cutting a pineapple.  
There was a fly that was buzzing around my face for two minutes and it was getting really annoying.  So, just for the heck of it and out of pure blind rage, I grabbed my blade and swung it at the fly in mid-air.
I sliced the fly in half. 
Sliced it in half!
After I did that, I immediately realized no one would ever believe me.

Hardest pill I ever swallowed was realizing I meant nothing to people that meant a lot to me.

I’m so old I remember multiplication was called “Times Tables”

When I was a kid we were forced to Google things with magical books called Encyclopedias.

And not only that, our parents really did drop us off at the skating rink with money, and leave.

I work at a country club, and there is this one lady who comes in every weekend for breakfast.  She sits there for hours until her husband and his friends are finished golfing.  She usually has some petty complaints about the food but a couple of weekends ago she had an especially weird one.  She called me over to complain that her omelet tasted like chloroform. 

I just want to know how she knows what that tastes like…

Air Conditioning is just Domesticated Wind!

Bars are strange places.  
It’s the only business that kicks you out for buying TOO much of their product.

Yup…mine do that every time!  So now, I just grab them by the neck and shove it down their throat.

Fahrenheit is how people feel, Celsius is how water feels, and Calvin is how molecules feel.

Well, that’s it my friends.  It’s still Sunday.  I didn’t think I’d get it all done today, but I did.  May God Bless you with Love and Happiness until we meet again.
