It's 5:00 on Friday...(my time zone anyway).

It's been a month since we have done Happy Hour! Too long! I'm hoping to see some familiar names that I have not seen in a while. Where ya been? How are ya doing? I've had some respite, and things are going well for us. I hope all is well with Y'all too!

Well, now it's 3:45 am Saturday, but I'm still up (side effect of caregiving-can't sleep).

I got a cute email joke today about a very resourceful Nun - hope you enjoy it!

Subject: Sister Mary - Lipstick in Catholic School
According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.
That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them; and the next day the girls would put them back.
Finally, the principal, Sister Mary, decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian, who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Mary asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers ... and then there are educators!

Hey captain Since when can the dog throw another log on the fire?

Hi BoniChak - glad to hear things are going well!!
Cute joke, Orangeblossom !!

Hi everyone! I have had the a " flu like cold" for about two weeks now! Can't beat this thing! Well, finally feeling a little better. Just keep coughing ..

Have a great weekend, everyone!!

I felt the need to resurrect this thread because A) it's Friday, B) laughter really IS the best medicine, and C) I've got a couple of good jokes to share....

Two elderly ladies were having breakfast together. Suddenly Ethel notices something in Mabel's ear. "Mabel," she asks, "did you know you've got a suppository in your ear?"
"A what?" asks Mabel.
"A suppository...in your left ear!" says Ethel, pointing.
Mabel pulls it out and stares. "Ethel," she says, "I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where my hearing aid is."

Two elderly couples just finished sharing a lovely meal together. The ladies cleared the table and headed for the kitchen, leaving the gents to their cigars and whiskey. Feed turns to Mack and says, "We found a nice new restaurant last night. Great food and the prices were very reasonable."
"Yeah?" says Mac. "What was the name of it?"
Fred thinks for a moment, then says, "What's the name of that flower you give someone you love?"
"You mean a rose?" asks Mack.
"That's the one," replies Fred. Turning toward the kitchen he yells, "Rose! What's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

The old wife says "Honey would you like a fudge sundae?" He replies "No, you always forget to put the cherry on top." She frowns and says " I won't forget the damn cherry on top" and she toddles out to the kitchen, cleans the table, mops the floor and makes two ham sandwiches. She proudly comes back to the living room and hands him one. "See what I mean?" he says. "What's wrong?" she asks him. He says "I knew you'd forget the pickle."

Yay! So glad you found this old thread! Thanks for the laughs ladies!

ya got me veronica, I have no idea what you mean.

my brain is tired tonight . I think ill take a couple of ambien and hit it. I filled the fuel tank today cause I know about 3 am ill sleep drive over to town and get some coffee for the morning.
had a good laugh with Asian girl nurse yesterday. in only 4 weeks she has me pegged. I missed one morning dose of meds and doubled up later. I shouldn't have, so she asked me if she could program my phone alarm to remind me of meds. told her I couldn't shut off the alarm and would forget if she showed me. she concluded the conversation by saying the alarm would continue to sound off and id throw the phone in the trash.. pretty smart , that one..

Hey captain, hope you had a knocked out deep sleep. darn! You just reminded me that I forgot to take my Lipitor. I bought that pill box for Sunday to Saturday, and I still forget to take it. So, I put the box right beside the computer, and I still forget to take it. You just reminded me...

BOOK , TAKE YOUR DAM MORNING MEDS !!

Book put it with dad's herbal supplements and he'll take it and save you the trouble!

It's past 5 o'clock Friday so Happy Saturday and for all the Moms Happy Mothers Day

Well I had a happy hour Friday, really for the first time I can remember, after all afternoon and evening stint at urgent care with momma we stopped to get some take out food at the "Tap House" and I sat at the bar and had a tasty ice cold pint of citrus beer on draft while they got our order ready! It was soooooo good, specially cuz been warm here this week!

Got some "Maxine"-isms for today...

- "Age doesn't make you more forgetful. It's having too many stupid things to remember."
- "Now that I'm older I I thought I'd have more patience. Turns out I just don't give a s**t."
- "I find it helps to organize my chores into categories: stuff I won't do now...stuff I might do later...stuff I'll never do."
- "Instead of the John I call my bathroom the Jim. That way it sounds better when I say I go to the Jim every morning."

And my favorite....not sure if this is a Maxine-ism but it could be.....
- "When I get old I'm not going to sit around knitting. I'm going to be checking my life line button to see how many hot firefighters show up."

man a cold beer or 6 sounds good. va wednesday , not good at lying , gotta behave..
fri nite with iced decaf coffee. i might just refuse to breathe after while to protest these inhumane conditions.

5 o'clock fun sounds good to me... If only! Maybe on Mother's Day I'll indulge.. We'll see how the day goes...
