RE: ???????BEST BLONDE JOKE THIS YEAR

not a blonde joke, but hopefully in the same humorous vein--


How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?


Only one. But...........



























the light bulb has to want to change.

RE: Thought This Question Interesting

when you can answer "no" to all of the following questions:

1. will this relative gossip about your private life?
2. do you have any reason to believe this relative will use your private information in a negative way to damage or hurt you?
3. has this relative or friend betrayed you - ever?


a bit of advice: if you're thinking about doing or saying something, and you're feeling a "nudge" or intuition to put it off, or not do or say it ---then don't. Our 'red flags' are there for a reason. Kind of a built-in fire wall. Use this resource. I think since you needed to ask this question, it's best to not tell the tale. I know people need to get stuff off their chest, but look at it this way: There are millions of instances where we wish to God we had just kept still. I know of not one single instance where I was sorry I kept QUIET. Feel me, darlin'?

RE: Forgive & forget?

what is that ugly truth, John?

RE: Just a thought

Gotta go--it was super talking to all of you--taking a walk along the marina ....good night nanners, good night jeepers, good night bettie, good night rob, good night nuuliii, good night John Boy, good night Mary Ellen....wait, wrong show! oops--love ya!

RE: Forgive & forget?

Wow this forum thread got me thinking and remembering about so many of life's questions, hurdles, what- have -you. Once while getting a patient's meds ready , I had said to a co-worker "What's up with some guys? They just can't say, I beg your pardon, I was mistaken". The patient's family, an older woman, gently touched my shoulder, and said, "It isn't just men, dear. Everyone. It's a human failing". You know, it really is. Why DO we have such a hard time apologizing? Is there some ultra weak point we are afraid of breaking down? Is it really that difficult to take the low road, be the big guy? There's another quote, from Poor Richard's Almanac, that I like (actually there's lots!)


"Be kind and friendly to your neighbor. But don't tear down your hedge".

RE: Just a thought

Do you mean to tell me you haven't got scads of guys wanting to date? Just read your profile and you are awesome! Of course it's important to be very discriminating, AND you want to really love the other person. I think you will have good responses. Are you out in the middle of the north forty or what? I would think there's be some handsome rugged men over there. Anyhow, wishing you well and here's an armful of u r a neat lady---

RE: Sorry America

totally lost, Don. Can you give me a quick skinny on what you mean? thanx

RE: Obama made History! Now Economy, Energi and Peace!

Oh, I don't know--maybe I am just seeing the world through rose tinted glasses, a bit of a daydreamer. But you know something, Don? I'm happy in my confusion, so don't let anybody wake me! (kidding---a little...) What was that quote, something like, "the world was too long with 'im..." we can take the ball and run with it if looking at everything with a dim view is our pleasure; or we can see the world for what it is and still earnestly search for those bright spots and minutes that do satisfy us. Sounds a little syruppy, I know, but life really is what we make it, and tonight I am going to make mine a little celtic music, some herbal tea, and quality time with my little parrot. Works for me, costs nothing, and no collateral damage to anybody because of it! It's the little things, as is said...

RE: Obama made History! Now Economy, Energi and Peace!

Really. I can't say I haven't given an opinion or two regarding this n that politically, but sure am getting exhausted with all this rhetoric, as well. Isn't this supposed to be entertaining/fun? You know, I don't wish to sound like a fatalist, either, but much of what we have been reading lately (here, for the moment) is redundant. Has there ever been a time when folks are satisfied, anyway. (NOT). So, as far as possible, from now on I'm going to participate in the lively, happy, funny and good humor forums. The world will always be the way it is....JMO

RE: Forgive & forget?

You are right. The phrase is for kindred use only--it really, as you say, cannot be applied. There's actually an old saying that demonstrates this better than anything else:

"nobody ever fergits where he buried a hatchet". (Cowboy Philosophy")

RE: Can You Read This?

ffffffffffttt! remember, I had to tell you that "Ardie" was for "RD".

RE: Men over fifty

Hope you don't mind me asking a question, since this is about us guys in 50's. It's real sensitive, so don't be flustered, Okie-dokie? thanx--here it is:


(this is a SERIOUS question, so don't be facetious, puh leeze--))

Can a man do "it" too much? (however "it" happens doesn't matter. just want to know if "it" can be too frequent, deplete the guy, be unhealthy, etc... anybody know)? thanks

Bet you can't beat this one...

OK--I'm stepping out of my usual area. A warning--this one's a tad naughty. The ethnic descriptions are not meant to be stereotypes, so give that pc a rest. Thanx---? Ready, Set...


A very proper and well brought up Jewish girl fell in love with a Greek fisherman. Her parents were very dismayed, but after awhile could see that true love couldn't be stopped, so they gave her their blessing. On the day of the wedding, the girl's father had a heart to heart chat with her in his study. "There's only one thing I'm going to ask you to promise", he said. "Some time that Greek fisherman is going to tell you to turn over, and it really isn't something you want to do. So, no matter what, will you promise me you will tell him "NO" every time, and never give in"?
"Yeah, sure, pop", the girl promised. Now the newlyweds had been married about two years, and sure enough, the fisherman had asked the girl time and time again to turn over, telling her it wasn't all that bad, and so forth. A true chip off the old block, she remembered her promise to her father, and always flatly refused. One night, the fisherman just coaxed, and cajoled, and tenderly kissed her and asked over and over again if she would please turn over, just once, even . She adamantly shouted at him, "Look, it's never going to happen! No matter how long we're married, I am NEVER turning over!" The fisherman sighed, and scratched his head. Mumbling, he said,
"Well, how are you ever going to get pregnant, then"?

RE: How many time do you cuss in 1 day?

Crossed my mind as being a little off the wall, too, but then I thought about it and my contribution would be--up until lately I really would let loose with everything from "f---f--- m-----------, son----------, co--------, q--------------------------" usually giving past bosses hell, and anybody who ever treated me less than the spoiled rotten mama's boy little prince I was born and meant to be. Having said that, I have had to curb this delightful and helpful venting. (There is a PARROT in the house. And he's SMART.)

RE: Do you need to wear a suit to a job interview?

Hey, you sure do get around these forums! I'm heading out in a few minutes--thanks for the bright spots in my day, Ardie. You're a good friend, and take it all on the cuff like a gentleman. You're top shelf, as we say here. (Hardly a better thing a guy can say to another, really-- )

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

Yes. He didn't create just one flower, one insect, one bird. Same is true for people. I like your thoughts. Very good insight.

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

Right on right on right on!

RE: Men over fifty

that was for the two nice ladies who brightened my day. Love ya!!

RE: Men over fifty

thanx.

RE: hi

that's what they all say. Change the tune, be creative. (I believe you--but you need to add some spice, shake and bake, serve warm and tender. Got it?)

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

Uh, you're NOT helping out-- how tragic it is for anyone who might possibly have been given some faith and hope. You see, Jacques, in the effort and obligation (as some believers view it) to show God's love, the presentation you, and some other believers, give actually turns people OFF to the wonderful, kind, caring love. You can't have it both ways, guy, telling people how fantastic and wonderful the love of Christ is followed by threats and insults. It don't jive, man.( "..and don't criticize what ya don't understand, please get out of the way or else lend a hand, your old road is rapidly aging...") B. Dylan.)) Be a door opener for Him, Jacques, not a door slammer. You are missing the boat.

RE: Men over fifty

"Fit and Fifty", "Fabulous AT Fifty", "Snow on the rooftop = Fire in the chimney", "The older the grape, the sweeter the wine", "Nifty Fifty" . 50 rocks! uh, that, too...

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

Point net. (a little humor, Love). I do happen to be a believer, however I wonder, and I've tried to explain this somehow in other threads, just how endearing it is to God that many believe in a kind of "just-in-case-it's true-I don't-wanna-miss-out" some friendship! I mean, I look at it in terms of the friendships I have and if they were based on a "what do I get if I'm your friend"? then not much worth having, yes? Even though I believe I would think God would respect someone who doesn't more over someone who is doing it out of terror of Him. (Who the hell wants a friendship like THAT?) best to you...

RE: Craig's List

Probably only joking about the "stalking" comment, but I been there, took the class and have the shirt. (I was being followed around the suburb and city that I lived in. Here's the skinny on it:

it is only "stalking" if it is " persistent." Looking for somebody and/or asking somebody out on a date, for example, is a rite of passage, as the law views it. Now, if somebody keeps asking for a date after being told "no", and makes personal comments "more than once or twice", then it CAN be considered stalking, or at least, harassment. The laws are fairly ambiguous about this because it is still recognized as common that a woman, for example, would play a little cat and mouse, be coy, etc... and I understand this, because what a dull, unimpressive world and life it would be if it were stoic, I mean, what do we have to do to make sure we are not being seen as a stalker--get somebody's permission ahead of time to give a compliment or ask for a date? The whole thing is so cattywampus it sucks. But then, there ARE real stalkers. So, what are ya going to do?

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

Hi Conjor--just had to point out something to you if you don't mind: The poll question was "why don't you believe in God", and it seems to me that Ellson answered that fair and square. I don't think of it as being argumentative, because the question was, after all, directed at people who feel the way he does, so that gives him, in my opinion, carte blance to give the answer he is so inclined to give. I also am a believer, and have some very, very serious convictions about NOT believing, too, but this thread wasn't given to me for proselytizing. (I am, however, open to your views, so don't get me wrong). Thanx...

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

Howdy Bud--I wanted to ask you if you believe in anything supernatural, like de ja vu, a past life, ghosts, etc... and if so can we communicate back and forth some way, just wondering.

RE: How come you don't believe in God?

I have to admit that this contribution is certainly good for thought. Thank you--

RE: It's not you, it's me...

I kinda have to disagree. He's in love with her, she's not. Time to split the sheets. Gets too boggy when lopsided like this.

RE: Come Cruise With Me!!!

O.K. The Masseur knocks on my door. He's carrying warm towels and hot oil. Nice smile. "After hours", he says with a smile. "This one's on the house".
