Monday Mirth

Smile ... it's Monday!

A blond spies a letter lying on the doormat.
It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND ".
She spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up. 

4th Husband at 80 !

(thanks, Pat)

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered.

"Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.

She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. after a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.

She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go." 

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?" 

"Eight," the boy replied. 

The man continued, "do you know what these are used for?" 

The boy replied, "not exactly, but they aren't for me.  They're for him.  He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."

Messing about with pictures... again

I have a new app on the iPad called Nostalgio. It's pretty good the way it allows me to display pictures ... and you know how much I love playing around with pics. The app caters for different positions, portrait, landscape, boxes or strips in a variety of positions. It also allows movement of each picture, within it's frame, until the required position is achieved. Once saved, however, the picture is static. 

The first three give an indication of what my rough patch is like these days.

Two different arrangements

Two pictures of a niece's wedding ... I quite like this arrangement

The next arrangement of Hubs and Daughter was actually the same photograph used three times.

Good, huh?

Feline Capers, an introduction

Starting next week: 

Chapter 1 of the latest write.

The series is called Feline Capers and there are eight parts, one a week for eight weeks. Think you can cope?

The dog tales were so successful I thought I’d try my hand at writing about a cat. I have firsthand knowledge of both yet it wasn’t easy writing about a cat. I’m not sure why. Is it because I like dogs more or could it be that dogs are easier to understand?

It’s a well known and proven fact that cats are more independent and this may be why I had to ‘invent’ some of the escapades. Inside, or should I say outside knowledge just wasn’t available. I mean who goes out with a cat to see what they get up to in those trees or behind bushes? It’s easier with domestic dogs because they’re there all the time.  We feed them, walk them, play with them, and nurse them; if I tried to feed the cat she would have stalked off in a royal huff. She was a loving cat, though, and I tried to include that in the writing.

The story is about a cat called Lee, which is the same name as the one I owned. I hope I kept her character alive.
