Just so long as it is not this…………

Hi Susan and Bev! I was visiting my sibs on the Jersey Shore last week. Just had a kindle and limited internet. I am still trying to get my groove back for posting, but I have been kind of overwhelmed since I got back late yesterday..For my flight back among other things I loaded “Practicing People Skills” by Jerry Van Amerongen on my Kindle. I am not sure of the date, but these are almost a thousand black and white pre-goat cartoons. Some hilarious. I kept interrupting my wife’s reading to show them to her. The women seem more free than now, the men less, and the dogs just as hostile. I highly recommend it!

Tough luck, Froggie

Bev, thanks for the Hoyt Axton link. In spite of the negative side of the song, each chorus ends with “maybe things will get a little better.” Good mantra.

As of this morning i still have high bid at $3,050.00.My proxy is $4,000.00.There is still six days in the bidding left.Im going to Tumwater this morning after my first client.It’s gonna be a loooooong day.

David is only technically talking to a dragonfly – it’s not a real dragonfly – which makes his condition even worse !

David is talking to the figure of a dragonfly that’s embroidered on his shirt.

David has conversations with all his logos. He has meaningful discussions with the alligator on his golf shirts, the swoop on his sneakers, and even the fruit on his skivvies !

While some of the designs give him symbolic serenity, he claims that the animal totems like the pouncing puma, inspire him and fulfill his communicative cravings.

Usually, these profound philosophical discussions with dragonflies et. al, take place after rather long, and solitary sessions of tequila tippling, at the Tiki.

Here’s what David is talking to:

And the dragonfly appears to be quite interested in what David is saying. (after all, it is a Ballard Street dragonfly) Quite an interesting collection of pictures today. Still sending good thoughts Happy – good luck.

I don’t get it — what’s so strange about talking to dragonflies?

David: “But I didn’t say he answered me.”

And I see nothing wrong with that conversation…….!!In fact you can learn a lot if you just listened to nature.

@beviek – “Yes, because we have to repeat everything.” OMG! Laughed until I got the hiccups…

(My Mom’s all-time favorite joke:) Martha and Freddie had been married many years. At a recent Dr. visit, Freddie told the doc he was concerned that Martha’s hearing wasn’t so great.

Doc suggested Freddie should walk quietly up behind Martha and say, “Martha, can you hear me?” If there was no answer, he should walk a bit closer, and repeat the question, until she finally heard him.

That evening, as Martha was rinsing dishes in the sink, Freddie stood in the kitchen doorway and said, “Martha, can you hear me?” No answer. A bit closer, he repeated it, “Martha, can you hear me?” Still no answer. Nearly directly behind her, he tried again, “Martha, can you hear me?”

She turned around, and said, “Yes! For the 3rd time, Freddie! Now, what do you want?”

Im not going to get the van. The top bid is $7,100.00.I don’t have that.Everyting i have, the cash from my GoFundMe, my money left over from my tax return, and the money that my boss has promised me comes to $6,845 and change.
