A Biker Joke For You Today

Bruce , a tough looking biker was riding his motorcycle when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge so he stops.

“What are you doing?” he asks. “I’m going to commit a suicide,” she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn’t want to miss an opportunity he asked “Well, before you jump, why don’t you give me a kiss?”

So, she does. After she’s finished, Bruce the biker says, “Hell Darling,  That was the best kiss I have ever had. That’s a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous! on earth are you committing suicide?”

“My parents don’t like me dressing up like a girl……”

A Touching Nativity Scene To Ponder

A Nativity Scene was erected in a church yard last weekend, sometime during the night some folks came across this scene.

An abandoned dog was looking for a comfortable, protected place to sleep. He chose baby Jesus as his comfort. No one had the heart to send him away so he was there all night.

Don’t you agree that we should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in Jesus’ lap from time to time.

This is too sweet not to share and no one mentioned that the dog breed is a “shepherd!”

A thank you to my sister for sending this to me last night!

Too Pooped To Pop

I have a good friend that is confirmed bachelor just as I am. But where I am pretty quiet and laid back he is pretty wild and crazy and considers himself to be one of the best pick up artist in town. Me, I don’t even know how to text a girl with a pick up line and not sound like a complete idiot much less looking at one right in the eye and spewing out some outrageously witty line in an attempt to get her undivided attention.

I generally just go up and introduce myself, offer to buy her a drink (if at a bar) and hope that my smile gets to her in a positive way in an attempt to hook up with nice and interesting female. Not that I have a lot of time to spend bar hopping these days. There is always so much work to be done around here, come night time I’m usually wiped out and not in any mood to clean up, dress up and go up town for an evening out on the town. A quick dinner and a nice hot shower is more my speed then an hour or so on the computer before kicking back on the sofa for some television, if I can find something decent to watch, works out well for this tired and lonely puppy.

Gift Cards

Gift Cards and Gift Certificates have become a very popular gift giving item. Too many times have we all purchased a gift for some one only to find out that they all ready have one, or don’t need or want one and it turns out to be a waste of time and money for everyone all the way around. With Christmas coming about in short order I have been spending some time online looking for gift ideas for the folks that I need to buy holiday gifts for and I’ve decided that I will purchase gift cards for many of these folks that are on my Christmas gift giving list.

I have found a site at globalsportsstore.com that have some great products that I’m sure several of my friends and family members would enjoy. They have tons of outdoor and sports related products, like Air Rifles and Guns, along with the ever popular GPS systems that just about everyone owns or would like to for the majority of their vehicles. GPS has become very specialized and the prices are coming down just a bit each and every year. So I’m going to go ahead and order several gift cards from this site and get a few names checked off of my list nice and early like.

If you want to see a cool online sports store give globalsportsstore.com a look see and see if you get any gift giving ideas for your holiday gift giving options.

The Big Rescue

My nephew called me late last night needing to be picked up in town. Anything after 8:30pm is late around this place and this phone call came in at 10:05pm and I was stupid enough to answer the darn phone. My nephew and I don’t necessarily get along so he was really desperate to lower himself to call me to rescue him knowing that I have to get up early to take care of the farm and all.

But family is family and that is what family is for. So it made for a late night but all is well that ends well.

How To Start A Fight, Part II

I took my wife to a restaurant the other evening. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. “I’ll have the rump steak, rare, please sir.”

He said, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”  I replied “Nah, she can order for herself.”

And that’s when the fight started…..

How To Start A Fight

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift…The next year, I didn’t buy her a gift. When she asked me why I didn’t buy her one, I replied, “Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!”

And that’s how the fight started…..

My Cousin’s Time of Need With Multiple Sclerosis

I know a few people that have Multiple Sclerosis, but to tell you the truth I don’t know a whole lot about MS but I’ve been doing a bit of research on the Internet and learning what I can. A cousin of ours has been experiencing Ms Symptoms and was recently diagnosed with MS so I figured I’d find out what I can and pass the information along to other family members as well. Knowledge is power and the Internet can provide us with a lot of knowledge, it’s unfortunate that my cousin doesn’t have Internet access, but most of the rest of the family does.

When I find good information I’m printing out what I find and will mail my cousin with what I can find that I think will be useful for him and his wife to use. His doctor wants him to follow a Multiple Sclerosis Diet and to exercise as much as possible. So I found a website allaboutms.com and found a Ms Diet and printed it out and put it in today’s mail to them. It’s a start and I’ll be finding out more as I go along and see if there is anything else that I can do for him in any way that I can. I’m just glad that they don’t live too far away from the rest of the family and I so that we can be there for him in his time of need.

Green Thumb Issues

Our mother was totally into having the house looking it’s best. My father was responsible for the outside work and my mother was in charge of inside the home. She never worked a day out of the house and was a dedicated mother and home maker. She was known for her Indoor Planters and Outdoor Planters as well. The neighbors were always so envious of her green thumb and she always received the highest compliments for her talents.

I on the other hand did not inherit her green thumb all though I have managed to keep her favorite plant in her favorite Decorative Planter alive and doing well these past couple of years. I do better with outside plants but I’m trying the best that I can.

My sister, on the other hand, does quite well with her Window Box Planters that she keeps looking good all year round. So for Christmas I’ve got my eyes open for a nice Planter to present her with on Christmas day. I think she will appreciate it and put it to good use. If not I guess she will re gift it like she does with so many of the gifts that she receives!

Mail Box Concerns

My older sister has been after me for some time now to purchase a new mailbox. The one that is out on the street now has been there since as long as I can remember and has seen better days, to be sure. She (my sister) saw a program on the TV the other evening that was all about the issue of the importance of people’s mailboxes. It seems that the police, fire fighters and ambulance drivers are having a hard time finding and/or reading the addresses in the emergency situations that they find themselves involved in.

Since I live here on the farm alone, my sister is always concerned with my health and safety issues. She means well but sometimes she gets carried away and really gets on my last nerve. Looking at mail boxes just isn’t something high on my list these days, so I told her that she should consider purchasing one for me and use it as my Christmas present. She hasn’t replied to that email as of yet, but I’m sure I’ll be hearing from her soon.
