So the elections are over, the democrats got what they wanted, now let’s see how long it takes them to open back up the government…because we all agree that this is becoming stupid. Now they are saying that even though it is LAW that we are supposed to be paid for the time we have missed that we may NOT be paid. That would really hurt a lot of us. We shall see. I’m so tired of this nonsense. So VERY tired.

I gotta laff, ya’ll.  

Let’s start with these really cool inventions!

 

Not quite the see-thru toaster we were talking about last time, but still pretty cool!

 

Faith takes you through the storm so you can get to the wonderful things on the other side of the storm.

 

When someone annoys me I lend them money

and I never see them again. 

Our new car has a button for almost everything. 

Even has one that says

“Rear Wiper”. 

I’m afraid to try that one!

That ain’t right!!!!

That one always makes me cry.

 

Yeah…we’re stuck on a theme.  This is what happens when your memes get filed arranged alphabetically by accident.

A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. 

What food might it contain? He was aghast to discover that it was a mouse trap.  

Retreating to the farmyard the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mouse trap in the house, a mouse trap in the house! ” 

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.” 

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house, a mouse trap in the house!”  

I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured that you are in my prayers.” 

The mouse turned to the cow. She said, “Like wow, Mr. Mouse. A mouse trap. Like I am in grave danger. Duh…NOT!”  

So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone. 

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. 

The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught.  

In the darkness, she did not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.  

The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. 

Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. 

His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.  

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.  

The farmer’s wife did not get well and a few days later she passed away.  

So many people came for her funeral, that the farmer had the cow slaughtered, to provide meat for all of them to eat.  

So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a mouse trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk. 

What a wonderful story.

Rearranged the folder so we won’t get all Aussie memes…cause there’s a lot.  LOL!

 

Mr. See owned a saw. 
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw. 
Now See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw 
Before Soar saw See, 
Which made Soar sore. 
Had Soar seen See’s saw 
Before See sawed Soar’s seesaw, 
See’s saw would not have sawed 
Soar’s seesaw. 
So See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw. 
But it was sad to see Soar so sore 
Just because See’s saw sawed 
Soar’s seesaw! 

Okay, it got reset when I came back and I’m not going to worry about it.

 

I almost got thrown out of my sister-in-law’s house one year at the holidays. 

I told them that I was thinking of opening a restaurant (I did this with a straight face, so they thought I was serious). 

Her and her family at the time were vegetarians, but I said I was going to open a restaurant that specialized in venison dishes. 

I was going to call it, “The Buck Stops Here,” and my slogan was going to be, “Bambi: You’ve seen the movie. Now, eat the star!”

And that’s it for another one my friends. May God Bless you and keep you and smile His face upon you.

Today is Veterans Day. A day specially set aside to honor our military members who have volunteered to put their lives between the evil in this world and all the rest. About 1% of the American population serves in the military to protect the other 99%, many of which have lost their lives in doing so. Although we have a different holiday to celebrate them, that’s Memorial Day.

Veterans Day is a day to celebrate the men and women who are serving or who have served in uniform. We owe them a great debt. The way we treat our Veterans is shameful. A quick search shows that in 2024 over 32,000 vets were homeless (and they called that a historic low!)

These proud men and women deserve so much more. It breaks my heart. I could go on for hours, ranting about how poorly the military has been treated over the years. Even as I’m writing this, they are working without benefit of pay. You don’t ever want them (us) until you need them; and then you expect them to dance to your tune.

Okay, this is a celebration of the Veteran, not a rant, so I’m going to move on. My apologies. I’m so very proud to be counted as a member of this wonderful group of men and women.

When I do the math, asking how many people have been here since 1776, it comes out to about 8% of the population who have served since 1776…if that number can be trusted. Which goes along with what I read once.

It makes sense. There are more people serving through war then in peace. Currently, 1%.

NOBODY joins the military to get rich
You do it for very special reasons, most having to do with a higher goal of country before self (even when your country is not taking care of you)
You definitely don’t do it for the money.

 

LOL! I still have my blood type tag on my key chain, and on my backpack and made Izzy get herself typed and now she carries a tag on her key chain. 

Old habits …

 

I would LOVE to hear the story behind that letter!

And that’s it my friends. I don’t know what else I can say. The last meme kind of says it all. To all my brothers and sisters who served …

I’m proud to be counted among your number. May you have a peaceful and comforting day and may Our Dear God in Heaven Bless you all with love and happiness until we meet again.

As I’m writing this, it is election day in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia. I’m sure by the time you’re reading this we’ll know the fallout from those elections.  My head hurts just thinking about it.

I just got a notification that Dick Cheney is dead at 84. May he rest in peace.

Tucker Carlson: “I’m not antisemitic, just anti-Israel” along with the headline GROWING CONCERN OVER ANTISEMITISM ON THE RIGHT.

I HAVE GOT to stop watching the news. Even the Christian news. What I REALLY need is to go back to work! 

And now I’m just rambling. So,

Something I’ll never do again … well, the list is LONG but trying to think of something I can share here, that is covered under the 5th amendment, and that the statute of limitations has run out on …

… I got nuthin’!

 

And the end of another (what I hope is) great issue. May God Bless you and keep you until we meet again, my dear, dear friends.

So, I’m a bit peeved. I’ve started this on Sunday, Day 33, and this is due to publish on Saturday, Day 39, which makes it both the second longest (as of today’s starting) and the longest (as of publication, if it’s still going on and I can’t see any end in sight) and 

You notice from the header that I made a trip to DC and they all hid from me! The wimps! I looked everywhere for the politicians that are responsible and couldn’t find them! Here’s some more pics of me in Washington:

 

I’m disgusted with them all! Everyone of them needs to be fired!

DISGUSTED!

We’ll come back to this. I gotta do something to change my mood!

 

A guy in the bar sold me a rare, antique map of the Sahara Desert for $20 last night…

This morning when I sobered up, I realized that it was a sheet of sandpaper.

I went to school for magicians but failed the final exam.

They were all trick questions.

 

I’ve always preferred the British spelling of “diarrhea” which is “diarrhoea” because it really looks like you have lost control of your vowels.

Arrived late to the weekly kleptomaniacs anonymous meeting and all the seats were already taken.

 

 

Does anybody know where a guy can find a person to hangout with, talk to, and enjoy spending time with?

ASKING FOR A FRIEND

 

Accordion to scientific studies, 90% of people do not realize I replaced the beginning of the sentence with an instrument.

They have my symphony.

 

So very true! God gave me life to love Him and bring others to Him. He will continue to give me life as long as He has work for me to do, then He will bring me home to heaven where He will have more work for me to do…of a sort. I can’t think of a more beautiful existence then the one that I have now and the one that I am going to. 

 

I’ve been asked to join a swingers club, but I’m a little nervous. What if I’m not good enough? I haven’t been on a swing since I was 9.

I’m confused, how come:
22 is twenty-two,
33 is thirty-three,
and 11 is not onety-one?

 

Morris and Rachel are sweethearts. Morris lives in a small village out in the country and Rachel lives in town. 

One day, they go to see the Rabbi and set a date for their wedding. Before they leave, the Rabbi asks them whether they want a contemporary or traditional service. 

After a short discussion, they opt for the contemporary service.

Their day arrives but the weather is rotten and a storm forces Morris to take an alternate route to the synagogue. 

The village streets are flooded, so he rolls up his trouser legs to keep his trousers dry.

When at last he reaches the shul, his best man immediately rushes him up the aisle and up to the chuppa. 

As the ceremony starts, the Rabbi whispers to Morris, “Pull down your trousers.”

“Rabbi, I’ve changed my mind,” says Morris, “I think I prefer the traditional service.”

And that is it my friends!

 

I hope you all enjoyed this one as much as I did. Until we meet again. I’m hoping that by the time you read this the government is back open again and this is all just a huge laugh!

… but somehow I don’t think so.

And even if the government is still closed, I will be at work today because it is the UTA and I’ll have to teach class because my reservists aren’t coming in. So, go figure.

So, until we meet again, May the Good Lord Bless you with Love and Happiness, Strength and Comfort.

 

Well, if the government is still shut down by the time you read this, it will be day 37 and will be the longest shut down ever. For me, writing this, it is day 29, which is about 20 days longer than I thought it would ever last.

Now the AFGE, the largest union of government employees, a VERY democrat organization, are encouraging the the democrats to open the government back up. I never thought I’d see the AFGE speak out against the party. But there you have it. 

Okay, I’m so tired of talking about this.

 

I have to correct this picture. It should read, “When you go to the village for gold, but return with a pet human.”

 

Absolutely! You kicked the kid out of school for wearing the shirt that said there were only two genders, and yet you allow this crap up on the walls?! They found his shirt offensive, and yet when he said he found these flags offensive, they didn’t care! I leave you to draw your own conclusions my friends.

 

I ordered a second-hand deck of cards from a casino. After four weeks they still hadn’t been delivered so I called them to see what was going on.

They said they were still dealing with my order.

Dragons are especially good at emotional support (snicker!).

 

This one was sent in by Lynn. I, at first, thought it was a can opener, but now I’m not sure. Now I think a hand mixer. I do recognize it because I think mom had one in the kitchen. Lynn? How about you guys? Any guesses?

Why doesn’t someone invent a clear toaster so you can see how toasted your toast is while it’s toasting?

I agree SO MUCH with this!  Why hasn’t this been done yet?

 

Can you imagine the poor rescued person in that basket. And if they’re injured it’s even worse!!!

Solar power is the future!

But it won’t happen overnight.

 

My dad keeps purchasing more artic land that he can’t afford.

I’m worried he has buy polar disorder.

A bottle of water at Costco is $0.25.
The same bottle in the supermarket is worth about $0.50.
The same bottle in a bar costs $2.
In a good restaurant or hotel, it can be worth up to $3.
At an airport or on the plane, you may be charged $5.
The bottle and the brand are the same, the only thing that changes are the place. Each place gives a different value to the same product.
When you feel like you are worth nothing and everyone around you belittles you, change places, do not stay there.
Have the courage to change places and go to a place where you are given the value you deserve. Surround yourself with people who really appreciate your worth.
Don’t settle for less.

That’s some really great advice.

What has two butts and kills people?

An assassin.

 

And that supposedly happened by accident?

 

I looked up the definition of opaque in the dictionary.

It wasn’t very clear.

 

We used to have empires run by emperors.
Then we had kingdoms run by kings.
Now we have countries …

A hacker got into my bank account and left me a note:

“Please save more money, this was a complete waste of my time.”

That’s it my friends. I realized I have SO MANY memes that I started adding extras to this issue. I gotta start using these things up. LOL! Anyway, until we meet again …
