HAPPY FUNNY TUESDAY...05-13-2025
Couple in their nineties
both
having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells
them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing
things down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure.'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness’ sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
'Where's my toast?'
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, ' Last night we went out to a new restaurant, and it was really great I would recommend it very highly.' The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant? The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.' 'Do you mean a rose?' 'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'
Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. 'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year-old buddy: 'So I hear you're getting married?' 'Yep!' 'Do I know her?' 'Nope!' 'This woman, is she good looking?' 'Not really.' 'Is she a good cook?' 'Nah, she can't cook too well.' 'Does she have lots of money?' 'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.' 'Well, then, is she good in bed?' 'I don't know. ‘Why in the world do you want to marry her then? ’Because she can still drive!'
A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect. ‘Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it? ‘Twelve thirty.'
Moe , an 82-year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?' Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'' The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful'
One more.......A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool... After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?' 'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

SUNDAY TALKING...05-11-2025
HAPPY HEAVENLY MOTHER'S DAY
She cooked and cleaned for us every single day. She got all of us ready for church every Sunday and all the other days at the church. She baked a basket full of raisin oatmeal cookies at least four times a month and the smell coming from our house as we got home from school was magnificent. She welcomed all our friends to our home and treated them with love. She rolled her eyes at some of the ladies on the parsonage committee who toured to make sure we were caring for their donated possessions. She spent many hours going to and from the laundry room. She stood at the ironing board for hours keeping us sharp and pressed. When did she sit down? I can't remember many times but I do know she was seated on Saturday night for GUN SMOKE. She attended every program any of the three of us were in at school. She attended every church meeting or revival. I am exhausted thinking of all the things my mother did. Especially the care she gave me and my two children when we moved to Tulsa after my divorce. I miss my mother every single day. If only I could call and ask her what to do next. Glad you are finally able to rest Mama. Love you so much.

And with Mother's Day approaching I must add the favorite funny of my granddaughter's.
GOLDEN DAY
My daughter called and left a voice message last night. It seems she was in the car with Hope (age 5) and they had an interesting conversation. The radio was on and the announcer was talking about Mother's Day.
Hope (in excited voice): "Oh he's talking about Golden Day!"
Chelle: "Golden Day? What is Golden Day?"
Hope: "That is the day you give your mother something gold. You're supposed to give Granny Annie something gold."
Chelle: "Where did you learn that?"
Hope: "From Granny Annie!"

SUNDAY TALKING ...O5-04--2025
This has been an interesting week. We have had a lot of rain. I did manage to mow half of the fenced area for the dogs and then waited for the rain to let up. I could not finish mowing, because I couldn't open the gas, can. Thankfully, the weather cleared up and my daughter and son in law came over yesterday and finished the yard work for me.
Frank did find us seven more chickens at the swap meet. I have been caring for them every 2 to 3 hours and the Rooster is keeping an eye on them. They are very pretty girls I think we'll be good layers.
I have found some wonderful stir fried vegetables at sam's club in Joplin, MO. They are so delicious.I don't seem to want to eat anything else. Yesterday I fixed a vegetable omelet that was great.
Hope everyone has had a great week. Tell me what you did.
