FUNNY DECISIONS... 7/19/08
Jul 19, 2008 | 11:11AM

 

How Hospital Decisions are Made

When a panel of doctors was asked to vote on adding a new wing to their hospital, the Allergists voted to scratch it and the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

The Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted; the Pathologists yelled, 'Over my dead body,' while the Pediatricians Said, 'Oh, grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the Radiologists could see right through it and the Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, 'This puts a whole new face on the matter.'

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists left the decision up to some a**hole in Administration.

SOMETHING USEFUL...7/18/08

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an

Hello Friends...

This week has been a real "bummer " for me ...I lost a very dear friend ... God called her home on Monday evening,July 14, 2008...She was only 67 yrs old.

Ann and I had been friends for nearly 40 years and she was my bride's attendant when I was married.. She lost her 2 year battle with cancer and finally liver failure...I am missing her already and my heart is heavy as lead... Today and tomorrow are her visitation and funeral...

Please say a prayer for Ann's sons , their families and her many friends who are mourning her at this time...

I also ask you to bear with me if I am a bit 'off the wall' and slow about getting to your blogs...

As always , thank you for being there for me. So many of us are, in times of crisis , very supportive of each other..That is what makes this site special to me... It is about the wonderful people I have met here....hugsss...Pat

WAY KEWL.. 7/15/08

A must read for Grandparents. Those who aren't will
 love it, too.



 At one point during a game, the coach called one of his
 9-year-old baseball  players aside and asked, 'Do you
 understand what cooperation is?  What a team is?'


 The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

 'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win
 or lose together as a team?'

 The little boy nodded yes.
 'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you
 know, when an out is called, you shouldn't
 argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head.
  Do you understand all that?'

 The little boy nodded again.

 He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so
 another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good
 sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb ass' is it?'

 Again, the little boy nodded.

 'Good,' said the coach. 'Now go over there and
 explain all that to your grandmother.

Have a good day

Remember those who love you....

TOO FUNNY!! 7/15/08
Jul 15, 2008 | 8:13AM

SUMBICH

A filthy rich North Carolina man decided
that he wanted to throw a
party and invited all of his buddies and
neighbors. He also invited
Leroy, the only redneck in the
neighborhood. He held the party
around the pool in the backyard of his
mansion.

Leroy was having a good time drinking,
dancing, eating shrimp,
oysters and BBQ and flirting with all the
women. At the height of the
party,
the host said, "I have a 10 ft
man-eating gator in my pool and I'll
give a
million dollars to anyone who has the
nerve to jump in." The words
were
barely out of his mouth when there was a
loud splash and everyone
turned around and saw Leroy in the pool!

Leroy was fighting the gator and kickin its ass!

Leroy was jabbing the gator in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing
punches, head butts and choke holds,
biting the gator on the tail and
flipping the gator through the air like
some kind of Judo Instructor.

The water was churning and splashing
everywhere. Both Leroy and
the gator were screaming and raising hell.

Finally Leroy strangled the gator and let
it float to the top like a
dime
store goldfish. Leroy then slowly climbed
out of the pool.

Everybody was just staring at him in
disbelief.

Finally the host says, "Well, Leroy,
I reckon I owe you a million
dollars,"


"No, that's okay. I don't
want it," said Leroy.


The rich man said, "Man, I have to
give you something. You won the
bet. How about half a million bucks then?


"No thanks, I don't want
it," answered Leroy.


The host said, "Come on, I insist on
giving you something. That was
amazing. How about a new Po rsche and a
Rolex and some stock
options?"

Again Leroy said no
Confused, the rich man asked, "Well,
Leroy, then what do you want?"

Leroy said, "I want the name of the
sumbich who pushed me in the
pool!"

OHH DEAR!! 7/14/08

BLOND  MORTICIAN...

A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.

The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.

The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the blonde mortician a blank cheque and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.'

The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly.

She says to the mortician, 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent jo b and I' m very grateful. How much did you spend?' To her astonishment, the blonde mortician gives her back the blank cheque.

'There's no charge,' she says.

'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says.

'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.'

'So I just switched the heads.'


BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!!!

PRICELESS STORY... 7/13/08
Jul 12, 2008 | 9:40PM

This picture is worth the e-mail even if you don't take the time to read the story below.


Paul Newman

Only women of a certain era will fully appreciate this.... True story. (If you don't understand this, tell your mother, she'll get it!)

A Michigan woman and her family were vaca tioning in a small New Englandtown where Paul Newman and his family often visited.

One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk.After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.

She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bake ry/ice cream parlor.

There was only one other patron in the store:
Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.

The woman's heart skipped abeat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes.

The actornodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.

Pull yourself together! She chides herself.You're a happily married woman with three children, you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!

The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.

When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty.
Where 's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store?Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or so mething!No icecream cone was in sight..

With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.
His face broke into his familiar
,warm,friendly grin and he said to the woman,


'You put it in your purse.'

MAXINE'S BOYFRIENDS 7/12/08
Jul 12, 2008 | 11:50AM

NEW BOYFRIENDS!!! 

I am seeing 5 gentlemen every day
. 
As soon as I wake up,
 
Will Power
 helps me get out of bed 

Then I go to see
 John . 

Then
 

so have fun, think 'good thoughts' only,    learn to laugh at yourself, and          'Count your blessings'!!!!!!

Charlie Horse comes along, 
& when he is here, he takes a lot of my time & attention.
 

When he leaves,
 
Arthur Ritis 

shows up & stays the rest of the day.
 
He doesn't like to stay in one place very long,
  so he takes me from joint to joint 

After such a busy day, I'm really tired & glad 
to go to bed with
 Ben Gay. 
What a life!
    Oh, yes, I'm also flirting with 
Al  Zymer
 

and thinking of calling 
JACK DANIELS  or 
JOHNNY WALKER
 to come and keep me company. 
   Now,
 remember: 
Life is like a roll of toilet paper... 
the closer it gets to the end,                  the faster it goes...

I was born and raised in Indiana, USA...My growing years were spent on a farm where I worked along side my father during the summer months, doing whatever needed done...The work was hard , the days were long...But I was blessed with good health and a lot of strength, and farm work kept me physically fit and mentally alert...From fall until spring I was in school and the farm load did slow down with the crops harvested and stored for winter..But I still had chores to d
