Amazing! You hang something in your closet, for a while, and it shrinks 2 sizes!
Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat..
It was a surprise to get a call from an old friend last night. When I say "old" it is very true. She was an associate pastor in my church home. She saw my name on the register and my phone number and called. It was amazing to me all the things she remembered about my children. She was their youth leader from elementary school age to high school graduation.
Her reason to call was because she also remembered about me. She was amazed about how happy my kids were despite the fact that we were coming out of a divorce and living in adjusted income housing. It was a frightening place to live but my children did not know it. The loved it because they were surrounded by other children and it was the first time we had lived any place with so many kids. This pastor had trouble believing how well adjusted my son and daughter were despite the sorrow surrounding their mother.
Now I am 76 and the pastor must be over 90 and my children are in their 50s. I was able to assure her that we had survived on love and still do with grandchildren and their spouses in the loop.Did you know it would cost $18.3 million to make a replica Darth Vader suit?

He wanted to wander
In the WONDERLAND
But that would SQUANDER
The meeting planned.
He had sent a POSTCARD
Telling her to WAIT.
He had to STALL in case
The BRISK walk had
Spoiled her fate.
He heard the music
And wondered if the LEFTOVERS
Had made her too sick
To pull back her bedcovers.
THE END
(Sorry my friends for this crazy poem. I just didn't want to leave the space empty.)
A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per
passenger.
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.
How old were you when you took your driver's test and did you pass?
SUNDAY TALKING
Last Thursday I felt like I had not taken my pills. I checked the pill box and the pills were gone so I relaxed knowing they were taken. Later that evening I was talking to my daughter and ask if she would work the next day because of all the snow. She said, "No mother because tomorrow is Saturday." After we hung up I got my pill box and took Friday's pills a bit late in the day.😊

Julie pouted, "I just HATE Valentine's Day. What is a SINGLE person to do?" Her SADNESS was overpowering when memories of past times with her beloved spouse filled her. They had been ATTACHED in all activities and celebrated everything together. Now Julie just sat around an looked like she was puckered up from eating an extra sour LEMON.
LOVE had not left her in any way but HAPPINESS was not the same. She laughed to recall how they used to duel over the last piece of CHOCOLATE. The duel was simply a routine act because he always gave up and made sure she won. Now a frozen DINNER was her celebratory BREAKFAST starting out another Valentine's Day.

| HAPPY FUNNY TUESDAY VALENTINES - BE MINE💓 | |
Join in every Tuesday. This is hosted by Sandee of Comedy Plus.
What did the paper clip say to the magnet?
I find you very attractive.
What did the octopus say to his valentine?
I want to hold your hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand.
What did the train say to his Valentine?
“I choo-choo-choose you!”
I have to end with my favorite annual Valentine cartoon....
WE'RE ON APPROACH
Do children still exchange Valentine's Day cards at school and do they count their cards to determine who is the most popular in the class? That was what happened in my day and it really should have been a criminal offense. (Needless to say, I didn't receive the most cards.)
Valentine's Day is Tuesday. It is a mixed bag of tricks. Most people, and quite possibly more women than men, have expectations for that day. Isn't that strange? And will it ever be all that we want it to be?
Is it really about sharing the love or is it about bragging rights? Will you receive candy and flowers or will you give someone a gift? Do you send and receive Valentine's Day cards? Or, do you pull the covers over you head and just hope the day will pass without anyone asking your "plans for Valentine's Day"?
Or do you quietly celebrate love that day with your partner or your family members or your close friends and consider that a bountiful day?

Matilda was twenty-five years old and had recently given birth to her first child. She was awaiting the number 9 train. It would take her and the new baby back to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her family would be waiting to meet their first grandchild. She counted at least 17 others awaiting this same train. It was scheduled to arrive at seven o'clock but was already late. Her sweet babe began to cry loudly. A young man who was about thirteen years old approached Matilda and ask if he could help her with the infant. This was surprising to have such a young person offer his help. "Are you sure?" she ask. The boy replied with confidence, "I been taking care of my six-year-old sister since she was a new baby". The boy helped her until the very late train finally arrived three hours late at ten o clock. The young man rode with Matilda and helped her with the baby all the way to Tulsa. Matilda wanted to introduce the boy to her parents. She turned to brag on the boy but he was gone and did not get the money she had wanted to give him.
