    An old snake goes to see his Doctor. ?Doc, I need something for my eyes, I can?t see very well these days.?

    The Doc fixes him up with a pair of glasses and tells him to return in 2 weeks.

    The snake comes back in 2 weeks and tells the doctor he?s very depressed.

    Doc says, ?What?s the problem? Didn?t the glasses help you??

    ?The glasses are fine doc, but I just discovered I?ve been living with a water hose the past 2 years!?

    After she woke up, a woman told her husband,

    ?I just had a dream that you gave me the most beautiful diamond necklace. What do you think it means??

    ?You?ll know tonight.? he said with a smile.

    The woman could hardly think of anything else all day and she couldn?t wait for her husband to return home.

    That evening, the man finally came home with a small package and gave it to his wife.

    Delighted, she opened it excitedly to find a book entitled?

    ?The Meaning of Dreams?

    A man walks into a store to buy a Barbie doll for his daughter. ?How much is that Barbie in the window??, he asks the shop assistant.

    In a manner she responds, ?Which Barbie? We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $395.00.?

    The guy asks, ?Why is Divorced Barbie different from all the others??

    ?That?s obvious,? the assistant states, ?Divorced Barbie comes with Ken?s house, Ken?s car, Ken?s boat, Ken?s furniture??

    4 guys are driving cross-country together ? one from Idaho, one from Nebraska, one from Florida, and the last one is from New York. A bit down the road the man from Idaho starts topull potatoes from his bag and throws them out the window.

    The man from Iowa turns to him and asks, ?What the hell are you doing??

    The man from Idaho says, ?Man, we have so many of these damned things in Idaho they?re laying around on the ground-I?m sick of looking at them!?

    A few miles down the road, the man from Nebraska begins pulling husks of corn from his bag and throwing them out the window.

    The man from Florida asks ?What are you doing that for?? The Nebraskan replies,

    ?Man, we have so many of these damned things in Nebraska I?m sick of looking at them!?

    Inspired by the others, the man from Florida opens the car door and pushes the New Yorker out.


    A man stood on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. The night was rolling and no cars passed. The storm was so strong, he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car come towards him and stop.

    The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door only to realize that nobody was behind the wheel. The car started moving slowly. The guy looked at the road and saw a curve coming his way.

    Scared, he started praying, and begged for his life. He hadn?t come out of shock, when just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appeared every time before a curve.

    The guy gathered strength, got out of the car and ran to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he ran into a bar and asked for two shots of tequila, and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy was crying and wasn?t drunk.

    About half an hour later, two guys walked into the same bar, and one said to the other. ?Look, that?s the character who climbed into our car while we were pushing!?

    Eight-year-old Nina brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good?mostly A?s and a couple of B?s.

    However, her teacher had written across the bottom: ?Nina is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit.?

    Nina?s dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back: ?Please let me know if your idea works on Nina because I would like to try it out on her mother.?

    talkin about cats....

    Every Friday night, a little old lady placed $1,000 in the donation box at church. This went on for weeks until the Priest, overcome with curiosity, approached her.

    ?Mrs. Bradley, I couldn?t help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the donation box,? he stated.

    ?Why yes,? she replied, ?every week my son sends me money, and what I don?t need I give to the church.?

    ?That?s wonderful, how much does he send you??

    ?Oh, $2,000 a week.?

    ?Your son is very successful, what does he do for a living??

    ?I believe he is a veterinarian,? she answered.

    ?That is a very honorable profession. Where does he practice??

    ?Well, he has one cat house in Chicago, and another in Dallas??

    A lady lost her handbag in the bustle of shopping at the mall. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her. Looking in her purse, she commented, ?Hmmm?. That?s funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills.?

    The boy quickly replied, ?That?s right, lady. The last time I found a lady?s purse, she didn?t have any change for a reward.?

    A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.

    For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, ?Look mate, don?t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!?

    The passenger apologized and said, ?I didn?t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.? The driver replied, ?Sorry, it?s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver ? I?ve been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years.

    A cheerful truck driver pulled up at a roadside cafe in the middle of the night for a dinner stop. Halfway through his meal, three wild-looking motorcyclists roared up?bearded, leather-jacketed, filthy.

    For no reason at all, they selected the truck driver as a target. One poured pepper over his head, another stole his apple pie, the third deliberately tipped his coffee over. The truck driver never said one word, just stood up, paid his check, and left.

    ?That truck driver sure ain?t much of a fighter,? sneered one of the bikers.

    The girl behind the counter, peering out into the night, added, ?He doesn?t seem to be much of a truck driver, either. He just ran his truck right over three motorcycles.?

    A man moves into a nudist colony. He receives a letter from his grandmother asking him to send her a current photo of himself in his new location.

    Too embarrassed to let her know that he lives in a nudist colony, he cuts a photo in half but accidentally sends the bottom half of the photo.

    He?s really worried when he realizes that he sent the wrong half, but then remembers how bad his grandmother?s eyesight is, and hopes she won?t notice.

    A few weeks later he receives a letter from his grandmother. It says, ?Thank you for the picture. Change your hair style?. it makes your nose look too short."

    There was a young fellow who was quite inventive and was always trying out new things. One day he thought he?d see just how fast a bicycle could go before it became uncontrollable. He asked his friend, who owned an old Mustang, if he could tie his bike to the bumper of his car to test his theory. His friend said, ?Sure.?

    So the young man tied his bike to the back of the car and said to his friend:

    ?I?ll ring my bike bell once if I want you to go faster, twice if I want you maintain speed, and repeatedly if I want you to slow down.?

    With that, off they went. Things were going pretty well, with the car driver slowly speeding up to well over 60 mph. The young fellow on the bike was handling the speed just fine. But, all of sudden, a black Corvette came up beside them and before you knew it the fellow driving the Mustang forgot all about the fellow on the bike and took to drag racing the Corvette.

    A little further down the road sat Officer John in his police cruiser, radar gun at the ready. He heard the two cars before his radar flashed 105 mph.

    He called into headquarters on his radio: ?Hey, you guys aren?t going to believe this, but there?s a Corvette and a Mustang racing out here on Highway 3, and there?s a guy on a bike ringing his bell and waving his arms trying to pass them!?

    The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn?t speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate.

    After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right.

    A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.

    Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.

    A grandson who arrived late came running up to Grandma and said, ?Hi Grandma, you?re looking good! How are they treating you??

    Grandma took out her little note pad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew, ?They won?t let me fart.?

    Hey Mick,yep BH here too - yay!
    I slept for 12 hours last night,now sat in PJs with cat and OH.

    Day of house pottering and bits of organisation for the week, first I'm off for a run at the gym and need to do a bit of prep for an evening meeting I have tomorrow after work.I'm also going to make a list of new activities I want to try and what I want to have sorted out house wise by the end of the year.

    Happy to be sober.I don't drink,that's feeling more real now,I think saying it out loud to friend and OH made it feel real.

    I'm feeling a bit blue today and bit overwhelmed with what I've got to do at work,keep thinking back to mentor session and thinking of need to push negative thoughts/what I can't control out of my mind e.g. if people like me.It was a really useful session and lots to think about,trying to remember it.Just feel I don't know where to start with everything,small steps and deep breaths.

    Happy Monday everyone
    one day at a time

          Good morning Abbers!

          Today happens to be the first day of school around here. My grandson is starting Kindergarten!!! Very exciting bust also a little sad - he's worrying about still having time to visit me. I assured him that we will still work in plenty of visits

          Mick, I'm thinking about buying a pair of steel-toed shoes so I'm protected if my dog or anyone else decides to step on my feet :H Won't be playing hop scotch anytime soon :H

          Bear, it seems to me that you spend a lot of time dwelling on all the negatives in your life. It helped me to switch my thinking to all the positives. When I focused on the positive stuff the negative things moved to the background. I decided to stop wasting my time & energy on stuff I couldn't change. That change in thinking & focus really took a lot of pressure off

          Hi there G & Sam who is probably posting now!
          Hello to PQ, Pauly, Det, TT, SL & SF too.

          Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Monday!

            Morning all!
            Looking out there in the outside world. Low 80's (F) and sunny. Feeling of a bit of fall in the air, though I'm sure we're due for another heat blast sometime. A most unusual summer, fairly cool and wet. I'll take any time! Got lots done on one fence.

            Morning Mick, thanks for the kick off and the coffee.

            Bear, hope your day goes well. Take er easy,eh?

            G, how's you be? Music is a good thing!!

            Morning Lav, been appreciating your thoughts on the positive things of being.

            be well all. "veying today in the mountains, then shrooming in the afternoon.

              Howdy Lav and Sam.

              I'm real good thanks Sam. Cruising along nicely. Spring begins here Sept 1st. New beginnings and all that. Hope all's good and you're getting some time to 'fiddle' around!

                      Morning all - tis Monday again, keeps coming round!
                      Hopeful posts from RJ - looks as if we will be safe after all!
                      Bear - it is not easy to move to gratitude/positive thinking, I am finding it is coming in for me slowly but surely - and being able to put what is not so positive into a box where I can deal with it as needs be but not let it take over what is good.
                      Lav - good luck to your grandson - start of a new phase, and many more to come!
                      Mick - your comments about Sunday ventures have the wheels turning again - you need to come clean:H
                      Hi G, Lav, Sam, Pauly, TT and all else - have a good one, mine is just starting so see you later!
