Good morning everyone..

We are off this morning to a wee village for a fabric sale. I do have a list so it won't take me long to do. We are to get more snow later in the day so I hope to be there and back before the storm with high winds start again.
Jenny ,I bet your Dad is really happy you are there.Time is so precious when we live far apart from our families. Today would have been mu Dad's birthday..

Have to get a move on here.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning Everyfriend!

Jenny, my congratulations to Mark!  He must be very proud!  Enjoy your visit with your Dad.  You are so lucky to have him with you still!

AMY,  we have the snow.  It was supposed to have started around 4 a.m.  but it's not going to last with temps predicted into the the low 50s later today.

I'll be off to Wally World later today.  Wish me smiles!  And grab a few for yourselves whenever you can!

You have the right to be proud of Mark, Jenny. 

Pretty morning here and supposed to be a little warmer today.  Yesterday was pretty, too, but cold!  Still hoping for rain.

Not much to say today so I'm just checking in to let you all know I'm still alive and kicking.   :happydance:

Good Morning.,  Another dreary , cloudy, misty morning.    A wintry mess is predicted, but not supposed to be too bad as it is supposed to warm up a little bit.  Just another little glitch preventing spring to show up.  I guess eventually, it will get here.  Just hope that all of a sudden summer will appear with no spring at all.

Jenny,  great news for your son.  So happy that you got to visit with your dad. 

Nothing much going on today.  Need to do a little bit of straightening up and finish up a good book I have been reading on my Kindle.  Nothing exciting planned for the week end.

Have a wonderful day,

Hi Everyone. It is another beautiful day and we are to get up to around 80 this afternoon.  Our housekeeper just arrived so we will have a nice clean house shortly afternoon.  We plan on staying home today and not going out to eat.  We have chili in the freezer that needs to be eaten so that will be our main item for our dinner this evening.  Yesterday I went to the City Hall to pay our taxes only to find the window was closed for the day as the lady was not there.  So I will have to try again. 

Yesterday I found that I could watch the Masters on the computer and there were no commercials.  If you are interested just use www.masters.com.  At the moment I am listening to an interesting interview done with Jack Nickalus  and Gary Players.  I plan on watching a lot more this way the next three days.

Lloyd, I relate to what you said about eating although there are foods I do not care for and don't eat. 

Mary Ann, I hadn't seen your post here when I wrote over in Norm's Bait and Tackle Shop.  I did know about Arnold Palmer's grandson playing on the tour. 

Amy, thanks for the explanation of the widow marker. 

June, sorry to see that you are having to suffer so much.  Hope today finds you feeling some better. 

Shirley, I haven't subscribed to a newspaper for many years but do a lot of reading of news sights on the computer and then catch the local and evening news on TV.  I hope what you selected at Dairy Queen was very tasty. 

Jenny, glad you are visiting with your Dad and Diane.  Time does take a toll on us as we age as we all know.  You certainly have reason to be proud of Mark and his PGA membership. 

Phyllis, they are predicting rain for us tomorrow.  Just hope it doesn't cause the Master's to be delayed too much. 

June Drabek

Just in to say a grumpy  Good Morning. Still having pains. Dr. ordered xrays of my back,so that is done. They wheel this great big machine into my apt. and do the job right here. I doesn't take away the pain tho. Oh, well, tomorrow is a new day, with new hope. June
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Good Afternoon, Everyfriend,

I became officially engaged 60 years ago today  It was Easter Sunday and I had just barely recovered from the "3-day" measles that my darling Second Graders had so generously shared with me!

The weather was definitely nicer because one of the pix from that day is of me sitting on the ice cream freezer while fiance turned the crank.

Weather guru started this morning's report with "Rain, thunder, snow, sleet, ice during the next 24 hours - yep,  Oklahoma weather!"
I did make it to pick up my tax stuff this morning.  It was misting when I went - raining steadily when I came home.  Now gray and gloomy with temperature dropping.

Jenny,  you hadn't mentioned Diane during the recent reports on your Dad.  I'm glad to know she's still there with him.
Congratulations to Mark!  Will look forward to seeing his name in headlines before too long.

Amy,  rodeo cowboys sometimes call a particular bucking bronco a "widow maker".

June,  I'm so sorry for your latest mishap.  So glad, though, that there seem to be good people taking good care of you.   Gentle  :hugs: to you.

Shirley,  you wrote   "...can't seem to keep myself out of trouble" and then "off and running... 
Hmmm -  think there might  be a correlation here?      ::)

JaneS,  Just about the time I think "Bill" has gone away....he reappears in the mailbox!  Wish he'd go somewhere else and stay there! 

Off to find something useful to do - or what mischief I can get into.   ;D

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.


Amy

Snowing again!! Spring took a wrong turn somewhere!!

We had a great day, I managed to get some lovely fabric and two backings. Stopped for lunch before we came home, tiring day but a fun one.

June, a long soak in some Epsom salt water may help you. Sure hope you feel better soon.

Callie, do you remember what flavour of ice cream you were making?

Jenny, I forgot to congratulate Mark!! Way to go!

Jane, hope you had all smiles through your line today..

Going to go rest, put my feet up and watch tv....

Shirley

Jenny, congratulations to Mark & glad you are having this visit with your father.  Give him an extra hug from someone that wishes she had a father around to hug.

Callie, I have felt guilty all day that we are sending this "crappy" weather on down.  Getting colder by the minute & wind blowing trees like whips.  Andy is going on a Boy Scout camp out in SE KS this week end, he teaches for their CPR badge but loves to camp & loves kids.  Not sure how I manage to keep getting into trouble, life happens!  :crazy2:  Nice memory  :smitten:

June, I'm going to have to break down & practice what I preach.... have a "crick" in my back like I haven't had for 30 years.  Was telling my good friend here about it & we decided "must be a sign of getting older"...... you think?   Getting out the Epsom salt, & heat pad.  Sorry you are still hurting..... my pain is like an abscessed tooth & you know how that hurts to bite down, same when I step down & the crick is in place.  Just a pinched nerve that needs a soaking to set free.

Larry, I didn't get by Dairy Queen after all.... settled for a piece of pizza & drink since I was already at Sam's.  Today I needed to get a sympathy card for my gr-son's wife, her gr-mother died..... so I stopped at Arby's for their new Greek gyro, 2 for $6 so I brought home 2 different ones... gal said one is lamb (traditional Greek food) & other roast beef.  The Greek was very tasty, in case you are looking for something different for a change.  One was more than I could eat, had to peel off some of the wrap.

Did I mention that the fence around the pool looks better than I even hoped it would?!  A job I don't expect to repeat as long as I stay here.  Next the pool job & then our trip to CO... well, quite a bit of going on in between, but no major repairs.

Will check in later tonight..... everyone behave!

Ah, Amy, you snuck in.... okay, not a word but it'll do.  Glad you also mentioned the Epsom salt, I'm starting to feel self conscious about preaching it's merits so often.  :-\



JaneS

Lots of smiles in my lines...one long one and one short one.  I was tired when I got home but not exhausted.  I did a few things (let dogs out, fed them, ate lunch put some stuff away...) Then I changed my clothes and the ones I put on were all smeared over with zzzzs.  I simply couldn't resist! 

Enjoy your evening!

Good morning everyone.

A chilly 18° here and windy, not much new snow, just  a skiff which is enough!

Laundry day here,plus we need to take the garbage away. That should keep me busy enough today.

Shirley, Epsom salt is used here a lot, in the garden , on sutures on dogs, plus in the bath. Which reminds me I had better pick some more up for when I plant tomatoes.

Well my work isn't going to get done with me sitting here and I just may be able to hang the laundry out. :thumbup:

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone, 37°. What a day yesterday was, started with sunshine then rain then a mix and then with 2½ inches of snow. That melted when the sun came out around 5:30pm.

JENNY  congratulations to Mark. All his hard work is starting to pay off. Glad you are with your Dad in Arizona.

AMY  hope you got just what was on your list yesterday at the sale.

PHYLLIS  glad you let us know you are "still alive and kicking". That is much better than us worrying about you.

JUNE  hope your back is starting to feel better. I do know what back pain feels like.

SHIRLEY  why behave? Have no fun when we do. Every home should have Epsom salts, I know I do. Did you know it was good in gardens, too?

JANE  wish my couch had Zzzzz's in it, only has some rest for my back. Have a great day.

For those of you old enough to remember Red Skelton, I think you will enjoy this. For those of you not old enough, you will see what you missed. Either way, his humor was always clean and he was a great entertainer. A re-run of great 'one liners' from the man who was known for his clean humor.
I hope you get a chuckle or two reading them once more.



1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a

little beverage, good food and companionship.

She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.



2. We also sleep in separate beds.

Hers is in California , and mine is in Texas ....



3. I take my wife everywhere,

but she keeps finding her way back.



4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.

"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.

So I suggested the kitchen.



5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.



6. She has an electric blender, electric

toaster and electric bread maker.

She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place

to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.



7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well

because there was water in the carburetor.

I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."



8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.

Then the mud fell off.



9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late

for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".



10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.



11. I married Miss Right.

I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.



12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.

I don't like to interrupt her.



13. The last fight was my fault though.

My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"

I said, "Dust!".



Can't you just hear him say all of these?

I love it. These were the good old days when humor

didn't have to start with a four-letter word.

It was just clean and simple fun.

And he always ended his programs with the words,

"And May God Bless", and with a big smile on his face.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Today is dog food day.  I'm making it for immediate use and for the freezer for when I go to Texas.  I always have it in meal size containers so my doggie sitter just has to remember to move it from the freezer to the fridge. 

GLORIA, I remember almost all those Red Skelton jokes!  Did you know that he made a recording just for kids?  And do you remember who closed his show with "Good night , Mrs Calabash, wherever you are!" as he walked into the dusk?

We're waiting out the pill and the next batch of dog food.  So I'm here to wish Everyfriend a great day.

Laundry is blowing  and I hope I pegged it down tight or it will be off and flying! Great drying breeze.

Gloria,I left a lot there for others  ;)      managed to pick up some panels for children's quilts, animals,  farm tractors, CAT machinery and TRex's
Loved the Red Skelton jokes  and I wish they would put the show back on. You could have a great laugh and no profanity or rude remarks. Would also like to see Carol Burnett back on also.

Jane, was that Jimmy Durante that said this after his wife passed?

Better get the garbage loaded and head to the dump.

Stay warm..

Good Morning  Everyone,  from the
cool and overcast,  rocky coast of Maine.

Our weather is very strange this year.... 
More snow on the way  (but of course, 
of course,  little to no accumulation)

I remember loving Red Skelton...  Always
a very funny guy.     Best if seen in person,
on the stage,  as his antics  went a long
way to make his "sometimes "very sexist
remarks, funny.      He brought joy to a
lot of people.

Similar to "Archie Bunker"  and " Roseanne" 
Comedy is a very "funny" (pun intended! 
of course) thing....    I always enjoyed them...
More so then, than now. 
And always better "in person"  in order to
truly appreciate their whole comedic act.

For sure,  being able to laugh is good for us.!

Why Laughter May Be the Best Pain Medicine
www.livescience.com/16038-laughter-soothes-pain.html

"Laughter triggers the release of endorphins,
the brain’s own painkillers. We suggest that
it is these endorphins that are responsible f
or the sense of euphoria and ‘bonhomie’ that
we experience after laughter.  "

I am all for it, too!

Yep, AMY, it was Jimmy Durante...another one of my favorites.  I loved his nasal voice.  Of course, it had a long way to get through that nose.

Hi Everyone.  It looks like it is going to be a rainy day here in our area. It sounds like the golfers at the Masters will have a long day and perhaps not get to play much golf.  It is only to get up around 60 today.  I feel for those who paid big money for the tickets to the Masters for today being out in the cold and rain.  I guess as long as we aren't having lightning and not raining too hard they will continue to play.

I really accomplished nothing yesterday as it was one of those days that I just had to rest.  I think today is going to be pretty much the same although may make a quick trip to Walmart to pick up a prescription and get some bread.  I am not going to attend my meeting this morning.  I do have things in the kitchen squared away and am ready to prepare Pat's breakfast when she arises.  We did not go out to eat yesterday as we often do on the day the housekeeper is here as neither one of us felt up to it.  Fortunately we had a meal of beef stew in the freezer that made a good evening meal.

June, it is wonderful that they can do the xray right in your apartment and that you don't have to go somewhere to get it done.  Sure hope you didn't break a bone in your back. 

Callie, I am always a bit amazed when people can remember the dates like when they got engaged.  It sure didn't sound like you had a nice weather day over your way yesterday.  I have always heard the term "widow maker" in relationship to a heart attack with sudden death.  I have a number of my bills that are set amounts each month just automatically paid on my credit card.  That sure reduces the number of bills I get each month in the mail box. 

Amy, glad you had a great day yesterday but I suppose most days with a visit to the fabric store are pretty good.  Carol Burnett is one of my all time favorites.  Apparently the cast on that show liked each other and had a great time doing the show.  I have seen a couple of their remembrance shows where they showed clips from the show. 

Shirley, it sure doesn't sounds like nice weather for a Boy Scout camp out for your son and the boys.  I hope the Epsom salts helped your back yesterday.  I got the coupon for the 2 for $6 offer on the gryo sandwiches at Arby's but would prefer the beef.  My wife doesn't like their beef so I get her something else when I stop there if she wants me to bring something home for her.  However, I do prefer DQ to Arby's.  Glad you are happy with the fence around your pool.

JaneS, glad you had smiling customers in your lines yesterday.  I remember Jimmy Durante well and have quite a few of his recording on Spotify, which are quite good and enjoyable to listen to.  I always wondered who Mrs. Calabash was. 

Gloria, I don't mind some snow as long as it melts right away which it almost always does here in the South.  I sure do remember Red Skelton, Jack Benny and the other great entertainers of that time like Bob Hope.  I always liked there humor. 

Sandy, did you get to see some of the funny folks in person?  I think the only comedian I every saw in person was Robin Williams.  He did a show at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City and I took my son with me.  His show was so crude and profane that I was embarrassed but my son loved it.  I always liked him on TV as he toned things down for family viewing.  I also liked the movie Mrs. Doubtfire that he did so well.  I think laughter is a great medicine for our attitudes. 

I see it has just started to rain lightly here and the golf tourney is scheduled for tee off in about 15 minutes. 

Sandy

The only time that I got to see
any comedians "in person" was when
they came to TV...  Usually much toned
down...  (More so then,  than now, with the
addition of cable) ....

Good morning on another cloudy, hazy, cold morning.  Not supposed to warm up today at all.  Lows in the upper 20's for tonight.  I think the "wintry mess" might be heading further south from my area.  Hopefully, a little warmer temperatures by next week.  It will be almost the middle of April by then, so hope this week end will be the end of the cold weather.

Nothing special, again,  in my little corner. Probably just another lazy day.   

Just wanted to say Good morning, and hope everyone will have a nice Saturday.  Enjoy whatever the day brings.

Fred Allen was a favourite of mine. I recall those trips down Allen's Alley where we would encounter Senator Claghorn. There were several other characters but I can't recall them now.

Mary Ann

Don, I liked Fred Allen too and his wife, Portland.  And how about Fibber Mc Gee and Molly?  I used to listen to many of those comedians already mentioned on radio and followed them to TV.  All good clean humor, would that they could come back.  Or if the networks or powers that be would rerun their programs.  The problem would be that young people of today would not understand that type of humor.  I'm glad I've been alive to appreciate it.

Today those funny remarks by Red Skelton would be panned because of "putting down' women.

Good Morning,

I thought I was back in Leadville when I opened the blinds this morning!  Light snow was falling and the ground was covered.   (Not really accurate - because, in Leadville, we would have a foot or more of the white stuff!)  Wind chill is supposed to be in the 20's today.
The pansies in the "pot garden" are on their own.   It's almost time to plant summer things so, if they freeze,  I'll just take them out and wait to put new ones in.

Larry,  I can remember pleasant dates but not specific death dates.  Best I can do without thinking hard is that my father (1970) and my husband (1993) both died the first week of January.

I remember listening to Fibber McGee & Molly on the radio and the crashing sound effects when he opened the closet door.  Also Jack Benny (plus from t.v. and his "look" when someone got the best of him).

I loved comedians like Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Danny Kaye and other comic actors who usually had "supporting" roles in movies.  Danny Kaye was a great dancer, too.
Never cared much for Robin Williams or Don Rickles - 'specially when I learned how vulgar they were during personal appearances.

I suspect most of these would be considered "offensive" today.   Maybe the current emphasis on certain subjects that shall remain nameless will be seen the same way....one of these days. <sigh>

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.

My daughter called and said she was going to the Amish store and did I need anything or did I want to go along.  I went along and you'll never guess?  In addition to their regular rock-bottom prices, they were having a 205 off sale today.  I didn't need much so I only saved $5.11 extra but Cathy saved $16.00!  They had things like cases of Scott TP for $22. (that's a 48 roll case)  and dog treats for $1.49 (They're 4.49 at WM.  And this is before the sales discount.  I'm glad I went!

It is a sad day for family and friends in Canada as a team of jr. hockey boys collided with a truck and at least 14 died.  Our family grieves for the friends and family. 


Carol

A cousin and wife just left this morning - they are from Washington and we drove them to Tombstone yesterday to visit the reenactment of the OK Corral gunfight.  Such a colorful place - such a grim time in the town's history.  the locals have a great time and dress in cowboy clothes or ladies of the night apparel.  They shoot guns (with blanks) so deafening to your ears - and act the part.  Returning here, Don was so tired from driving, that we had a light super and sat outdoors under the stars talking late into the night.

Wow Jane, you really got the bargains today!! Nice when that happens.

Carol that is so sad, I can't imagine what the parents are going through. Our g/son is a hockey player and I pray this never happens to him or anyone else.
Love sitting out under the stars...watch for falling stars and make a wish :)

Callie, I also don't like Jim Carrey for his potty mouth too. The older comedians could have you in tears laughing and not one bad word.

Laundry is all in ,wind blew it dry in no time and for a while I wondered if it would stay on the line.

Carol, that have started a Go Fund Me for the hockey team and parents.

Gloria, I was a big Red Skelton fan.... especially loved "the mean widdle kid" routine.  I'm with y'all about the potty mouth routines of comedians these days.  One year we were at a dinner put on by one of the companies my husband dealt with, Roy Clark was the entertainer.  He caught on real fast that these "Midwestern-red necks" did not approve of the language he used during his routine & changed his language fast.  Maybe it was okay when wives were not present but seems these guys are protective of family.   :o

I did a Google & came up with Bunnie's obit... will print it out since it appears she thought enough of this group to want Memorial contributions to “Seniors and Friends” .  I met she & Gene, along with Doris & Herb, and Lloyd, his son & mother, when they joined my family for lunch in Sedalia.  Later I took a pot of wisteria to her when Gene was still alive to plant for her, had a terrible time finding their house so didn't get to visit long.  Does anyone remember the photo of her with her mother?  The love in that photo melted my heart.

Carol, so sad about the hockey team.  When I was in high school a bunch of guys on the football team had a wreck with a concrete culvert, don't remember how many died but the injured ones were in such bad shape their lives were changed forever. 

Every time I see the news about high school kids protesting the guns I wonder if anyone has checked how many more teens are killed by cars and drinking than by guns, maybe they should not be allowed to drive before 21 and severe punishment for drinking or drug use.  I do believe in the gun laws we have, but also believe gun factories should not be allowed to produce and sell to the public, those guns designed for military use only.  Police should have them since "the bad guys" will always find ways to get them. Okay, off my soap box~~~  I get upset that anyone listens to the teens that are just rioting to get out of school and don't have a clue what the real world is all about, much less paying their own way in life!  Zip the lip, Shirley, (every now & then she just gushes over)
