I want to start right out and say …

To Steve for his contribution to Julie’s Go Fund Me page. That’s the only one that I saw, so far, it’s just been a couple of hours, but I was so happy to see it that I had to say something right up front.

What a blessing! I’ll check again when I get to the end so that I don’t miss anyone…and I’ll post the link again.

In the meantime, I REALLY have to stop putting off mowing the lawn for the first time this season. I have REALLY been procrastinating on this. My lawn should have been mown two weeks ago. I HAVE TO DO IT THIS WEEKEND! Hold me to it you guys.

I’ve been so busy with other things that when I have time off I just don’t want to do ANYTHING!

Anyway, whaddaya say we just get started on the fun stuff? I’ve been away from the computer since the weekend, today is Thursday so I’m Jones-ing    a bit here. So, let’s get to it.

Of course, because hardly anyone is willing to put their butts where there words are!

If I get started, I’ll be on this topic for hours…

This one is WAY AWESOME!

Definitely B

I honestly didn’t know this was a thing until just today.

And Izzy told me!

I know for a fact that’s how Willow feels…but then she runs away like a little chicken as soon as she’s approached by … ANYTHING!!! Got a great bark though.

That looks absolutely disgusting!!!!

I’m sorry … truly I am … but I laughed SO HARD at this one. 

From Chris and very much worth repeating:

NASA just did something no diplomat, no UN resolution and no peace summit could do in six weeks.

They shifted the entire world’s attention from bombs to the Moon. In one launch.

Think about it. For over a month, the global conversation has been explosions, missiles, oil facilities on fire, body counts and broken ceasefires. Every headline darker than the last. Every scroll more exhausting than the one before it.

Then April 1, 2026. Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Eight point eight million pounds of thrust. And suddenly, for the first time in over 50 years, four human beings are heading to the Moon.

230,000 miles from Earth. The first crewed lunar mission since Apollo 17 in 1972. The first woman beyond low Earth orbit. The first person of colour near the Moon. A Canadian. All four of them, together, inside a capsule they named Integrity, hurtling through deep space.  (Face2Face Africa)

230,000 miles is not a small number. That is not a road trip. That is not a flight. That is the kind of distance that makes you sit quietly and reconsider every complaint you have ever had about your commute.

And yet there they are. Four humans. Drinking rehydrated food from a briefcase warmer. Exercising with a 30-pound flywheel the size of carry-on luggage. Staring out of windows at a view that less than 30 people in all of human history have ever seen.

War is loud. Space is quiet. And sometimes the world needs to be reminded which one is bigger.

Well done NASA. The jawjaw was needed. 

Ire ooo.

I may be turning into that one friend… CRAP!

 

Just kidding … but you guys saw my fence.

Catherine, a RN, was unhappy with her job, so she submitted her resignation. 

She was sure she’d have no trouble finding a new position, because of the nursing shortage in her area. 

She e-mailed cover letters to dozens of potential employers and attached her resume to each one. 

Two weeks later, Catherine was dismayed and bewildered that she had not received even one request for an interview. 

Finally she received a message from a prospective employer that explained the reason she hadn’t heard from anyone else. 

It read: “Your resume was not attached as stated. I do, however, want to thank you for the vegetable lasagna recipe.” 

Swampy Marsh, the young Australian father-to-be, is waiting anxiously outside the maternity ward where his wife is having their first baby. 

He is pacing the floor when the nurse comes out and says, “You have a little boy, Mr. Marsh, but you had better go out and have a cup of coffee, because there may be another one.” 

Swampy turns a little pale and leaves.

Some time later he phones the hospital and is told that he the father of twins, but the nurse cautions, “There is another on the way, so call back later.” 

At that Swampy decides that coffee is not strong enough, so he goes to a bar and has some beer. 

When he phones the hospital again he is told that the third baby has arrived and a fourth is on the way. 

White-faced, he stumbles to the bar and orders a double scotch.

Twenty minutes later, he tries to phone again, but he is so drunk that he dials the wrong number and gets the recorded cricket score. 

When they pick him up off the floor the recording is still going strong: 

“The score is ninety-six all out,” says the voice, “and the last one was a duck.” 

An old lady went to an auction sale. 

There she was attracted to a parrot in a gilded cage. 

The parrot was large, very healthy looking and exquisitely colored. 

The old lady was so attracted by the parrot’s appearance that she couldn’t help but bid on it. 

She bid, determined to have the parrot, but another bidder competed and drove the price very high. 

The old lady eventually bought the parrot.

She was at the cashier’s desk and told the cashier that she was so excited about the beautiful appearance of the parrot that she had neglected to ask if it could talk. 

The parrot spoke up, “Who do you think was bidding against you?” 

The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. 
 
When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. 
 
The theme: Viagra Advertising slogans. The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable. 
 
About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 list. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! 
 
The top 10 were:
 
10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!
9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.
8. Viagra, like a rock!
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Home of the whopper
2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!
And the unanimous number one slogan
1.This is your peepee… This is your peepee on drugs 

Okay, that’s it for this one. Still just the one to thank for Julie’s fund … and that’s fine. Even if you just pass it on to other’s or offer up a quick prayer, it’s all good.

Here’s the link for you guys to pass on again my friends.  Try this …

And that’s it my friends … until next time.
