I can has headache

I've noticed that there was a wild party last night while I was asleep...

It seems appropriate to enjoy some hangover humour!

Priorities


An elderly lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.

A gentleman approached her and said,

"Pardon me, madam... I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?"

"Yes, I know," said the lady. "But I need both my hands to hold onto this hat."

"But madam, you must know that you are not wearing anything down there and you are a bit exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest.

The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied,

"Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old... I bought this hat yesterday!

Walk this way

Mrsgunka sent me these photos of shoes and I found them very interesting. They range from funny and creative to downright uncomfortable!

Thank you, Mrsgunka.

A loving goodbye

View_From_Here sent me this lovely video. It was the keeper's last day at the park and the cubs showed him a lot of love...

Thank you, View.

A different way of thinking

A friend shared this picture on Facebook and I really liked it. There were loads of comments and I selected a few from people who know what's all about.


"AUTISM IS NOT A DISORDER!! AUTISM IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING how hard is that for people to understand? its not contagious and it does not have to jeopardize a normal life in any sort of way. i have my school diploma and i have some great friends, i am good at what i want to be good at."

"Love this! I may just have to put this on the wall (of my actual house :) -not FB wall) for my daughter. She is 9 and screams at me that she just wants to be normal. I tell her she IS normal. She just thinks differently etc ..... Maybe this will help her. I don't know how to help her when she gets like that. Thanks!!"

"My son just put something very similar to this statement in a paper he wrote about his challenges. He said one of his ways he needs to overcome people's ideas about him is to explain early on to them that he has the same hardware, but that his software isn't the same as everyone else."

Happy music

Mrsgunka sent me this jolly video and dedicated it to our friends Irishgirl and Pallottine.

The music invites you to clap your hands and tap your feet!

Thank you, Mrsgunka.

Shocking!

Joke from Grammy97:


There was a bit of confusion at the store this morning. When I was ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.

I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.

They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer!

Thank you, Grammy.

Some laughs for the weekend

My laptop is not behaving very well today, so I'll quickly post this very funny video Mrsgunka sent me. I like this couple's gentle, self-deprecating, old fashioned humour.

Thank you, Mrsgunka.

Whistling...

Peter and I sleep in separate bedrooms. The reason is practical, we simply like to get a good night's sleep. In the past, I had his enormous, very heavy hand land on my face (a very disturbing experience in the middle of the night!), he snores very loudly, I fidget, we both get up to answer the calls of nature several times each night, we also have restless legs, talk in our sleep... the list is endless.

Tired (literally) of sharing a bed with something akin to a noisy mountain goat, we both decided that we'd be better off in our own rooms.

I know what you're thinking...

The following joke is about separate beds, but provides a very good solution!

A young couple got married and spent their honeymoon in a hotel with twin beds.

The shy young bride was a bit anxious and asked her new husband:

"But how are we going to do... you know what... How would I know you're in the mood?"

He replied:

"No problem, darling. I'll whistle and you come to my bed."

She was still worried:

"Yes, but how do I let you know when I'm in the mood?"

He was very reassuring:

"Well, you just ask me: 'Did I hear you whistle?'"


This is our favourite joke. He he he...

It's hot today

I'm in the mood for some South American music. It goes well with the hot weather!



[And also to celebrate the Supreme Court decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act! It's a happy tune...]

When love ends

Annie Girardot was a great actress. In this segment, without saying a single word, she tells us everything...

Loudmouth

It happened again... A joke arrived from Mrsgunka, quickly followed by Grammy97 with the same joke. Synchronized sense of humour, that's what it is!

Thank you, ladies.

After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.


As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart, it’s Eric, I’m on the train – yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting .... – no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life – yes, I’m sure, cross my heart" etc., etc.


Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by this interminable, loud, inane conversation, yelled at the top of her voice:

"Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!"

Eric no longer uses his cell phone in public.

Peace...

I've been a tad busy chasing my darling son, who's been giving us a bit too much to worry about lately. He seems to be on the right track to resolve his recent woes.

So I chose to post a calming picture. I would love to sit on those steps, basking in the sun, reading a good book and sipping a cool drink...

Feathered beauty

View_From_Here sent me some spectacular photos of birds a few days ago, but most of the pictures didn't download, so I tried to find them elsewhere on the internet, to no avail. Yesterday, Mrsgunka sent me the same photos, saying: "For View.... Our beautiful feathered friends!"

I thought it was wonderful, Mrsgunka unwittingly coming to the rescue and dedicating the photos to View.

A big thank you to both of them.
