I also got 15. It's funny how some things that are so common are hard to recall.

doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything went quite well. As the National Anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up Nuts" and the patients complied by standing up. After the anthem, he yelled, "Down Nuts" and they all sat back down in their seats. After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, "Cheer Nuts". They all broke out into applause and cheered. When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of the home team, the Doctor yelled, "Booooo Nuts!!!" and they all started booing and cat calling. Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned, there was a riot in progress. Finding his tizzied assistant, the doctor asked, "What in the world happened?" The assistant replied, "Well everything was going just fine until this guy walked by and yelled, "PEANUTS!"

Thanks so much for this post. I've been thinking of him and sending prayers since I heard his cancer had returned.

Like Ginny, I can now use the babysitting excuse. By the way, it works like a charm.

I also think that your Mom probably just wants to talk about your Dad. I really believe that having someone to talk to about the death of a loved one is the most important healing tool. But, if you think your Mom really wants an answer, I would just reply " I'm sure Dad keeps very busy watching over all of us."

((((((((((((((((((Tina))))))))))))))))))) As you know too well, there are some things that no amount of words can make any better and this is one of those things. Just know that I love you and am sending lots of hugs your way!

The criteria for each trial is different. After you have completed one trial, you may still be eligible for another, based on medical history and other drugs you have taken. There are many trials available if you do research. Hope things so well.

Love this! Have re-read and laughed about a dozen times.

What lucky people!!! I think he has the greatest eyes!

What excuse would you give to get out of going to a party given by someone you didn't really like?

Wanted .................... American Job ??? Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JO B . At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia), Joe decided to rel ax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE.! France!! ) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in .. AMERICA..... Y'all gotta keep this one circulating, please!

Ry...You and I are definitely on the same page. When I read this and decided to post, I automatically thought that Frank would have loved this one. So, I'm sure Frank is still keeping score and smiling on us from above!!!

Hang in there Bucky and don't ever leave a party early again...unles it's just a terrible party to begin with! I think this happens to everyone, even the caregivers. When people used to ask Dennis how he was doing and give him "the look" he would just reply, "I'm fine...but how are you?"

Bath products...without a doubt, this is something that I don't mind splurging on. I love Bath and Body Works and treat myself to something from there at least once a month. There's nothing like a nice hot bubble bath to make the world go away!!!

Lord, I have a problem." "What's the problem, Eve?" "I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy." "And why is that Eve?" "Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "Man? What is that Lord?" "A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?" "Well ... you can have him on one condition." "And what's that Lord? " "As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring ... so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first...And it will have to be our little secret ... You know, woman to woman."

You to answer my question with 5 responses. Then you ask a question to get five responses, after you answer the question. Gimme five names of laundry detergent:

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful Dad and Grandfather.

Laurey, please don't ever feel that you have to apologize for venting here. We have all done vented our feelings here. I know exactly how you feel and all of your feelings are completely normal. After losing my husband, I was amazed how much anger was in my life. I was angry at everyone, even God. I just couldn't understand why someone as good and kind as my Dennis could have been taken from his family and friends at such an early age. There are still time that I question his death but now the anger is gone. Please know that we are here for you anytime you need to talk or vent.

Amanda, I am so very sorry to hear this news. I will be saying prayers for you and your dad.

No advice to give but I do hope your pain goes away soon!

Thanks for sharing that site. I need to start one of these for my little grandaughter. In addition to doing one for me, I think I'll so one for her Grandpa Dennis.

It sounds as if you are doing great! Such good news to hear! I really like the "Wood is Good" bumper sticker idea of yours. Did the doctor get a good chuckle out of that one? So glad things went well and you're back with us.

Add me to this evergrowing list of people that are saying prayers and sending good vibes!
