  1. Debi,

    My dear friend, I hate that you have to have those thoughts. I don't know what to say except I wish a great big BOO! would make them go away or maybe I could shine a flashlight under your bed and prove all that's there is dust bunnies (Well that's what's under my bed)!

    I just KNOW you have beaten it, I just feel it all the way from Okie to Kansas (well that's not all that far, but heck...)

    Lots of hugs to your daughter and son, who matter most of all.

    I am really proud of Frank, too. I can just see his fingers flying!

    By the way, if Angie can't come up with enough tar and feathers, I might be needing a shipload of those chickens, so hope you find that website.

    love and fortitude

  2. Angie,

    I have been having a couple rough days myself, and I apologize for not posting sooner, but I did do my prayers and you and Billy are always on my list.

    I think I need some of that tar and feathers--a whole truck load. But that is another story.

    love and fortitude

  4. Rick,

    Thanks for letting us know. Could you pls send messages to the family?

    Bonnie was so special to me and I have lost both a dear friend and a mother figure. I know my loss does not compare to that felt by her husband, son, daughter and grandchildren.

    Bonnie is a brave and giving person. I hope her family finds comfort in their memories of this dear and special woman.

  5. Terre Haute, Indiana – No one believed Timmy Tucker when he got his genitals stuck in the family’s vacuum cleaner attachment last Monday. Neighbors describe the twelve-year-old as a chronic liar with a penchant for pulling pranks.

    Doctors worked round the clock viciously yanking on the hose before the boy was freed late last night. Surgeon Ron Warren says there may be permanent damage. “He’ll never play the violin again. Not with his pecker anyway.”

    Timmy was apparently stuck in the hose for days before parents Mark and Carol Tucker called for an ambulance. According to police reports, the parents didn’t believe the boy was telling the truth and had forbidden him from calling 911 due to earlier pranks. Mr. and Mrs. Tucker have declined to comment.

    “He used to tell me he was hurt or in trouble all the time when he was really okay,” said Nat Hoffner, Timmy’s next-door neighbor. “Once he came around here and said he was attacked by some bullies. It wasn’t until after I called the police that he admitted he beat himself up. I never understood that boy.”

    In desperation, Timmy called friend Steve Handleman and asked for assistance, but Steve didn’t believe him either. “Tricking me into yanking on that hose is just the sort of thing he’d try to do. ”

    Has the boy who cried wolf too many times learned his lesson? “Oh gosh, yes” said Timmy between hits of oxygen. “I’ll never lie again.” He also insisted on describing how he got stuck, despite doctor’s warnings for rest.

    According to Timmy, he took the vacuum cleaner outside with a very long extension cord because he wanted to vacuum some dirt. He was about to come back in the house when some bullies attacked him and stuck the vacuum hose on his genitals and then left several xxxographic magazines at his feet after they finished reading them. Police are combing the area for possible suspects.

  6. There's this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and gulps it down.

    The poor man starts crying.

    The truck driver says: "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't see a man crying."

    "No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outraged, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen.

    The police, they say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there.

    The cab driver just drives away. I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar.

    And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison!!!"

    I have a feeling I am right there with you in "funky town"-- I hear all roads lead out of town. I am looking to get on one, but right now I seem to be on an off the beaten path kind of place, but I will let you know when the next bus leaves! You do the same for me, OK?

  10. This little old lady calls 911. When the operator answers she yells,

    "Help, send the police to my house right away! There's a damn Democrat

    on my front porch and he's playing with himself."

    "What?" the operator exclaimed. "I said there is a damn Democrat on my

    front porch playing with himself and he's weird; I don't know him and

    I'm afraid! Please send the police!" the little old lady repeated.

    "Well, now, how do you know he's a Democrat?"

    "Because, you damn fool, if it was a Republican, he'd be screwing

    somebody!"

  11. It seemed appropriate that I received this joke today.
