Senior "Internet" Dating
SENIOR DATING
Dorothy and Edna, two 'senior' widows, are talking.
Dorothy: 'That nice "Red" McDonald asked me out for a date. I know you
went out with him last week, and I wanted to talk with you about him before
I give him my answer.'
Edna: 'Well, I'll tell you. He shows up at my apartment punctually at 7 P.M.
dressed like such a gentleman in a fine suit, and he brings me such
beautiful flowers!
Then he takes me downstairs, and what's there but a luxury car...A limousine
uniformed chauffeur and all.
Then he takes me out for dinner... A marvelous dinner... Lobster, champagne,
dessert, and after-dinner drinks. Then we go see a show. Let me tell you,
Dorothy,
I enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure!
So then we are coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL.
Completely crazy, he tears off my expensive new dress and has his way with
me two times!'
Dorothy: 'Goodness gracious!... So you are telling me I shouldn't go out
with him?'
Edna: 'No, no, no... I'm just saying, wear an old dress.'

Great Photography and Good Advice
Catch the moment - Perfect photography!
Remember the buddy system...because two have more fun than one!
Take time once in a while to just enjoy the moment...
When someone tries to surprise you, let them think they got away with it...
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...
Remember, the Lord knows you're special...
Always try to do what you are taught, it can sometimes lead to beautiful things...
Try to give a gentle lift to a friend in need...
Search for the best route to what you're hoping for...
No goal is too hard to attain when you persevere...
Sometimes it's better to watch from a distance and plan your next move carefully...
Get to know someone first before accepting that he may be your enemy...
Be careful what you put into your body, health is too important to ignore...
Present yourself well and mind your manners...
Remember, no matter how much you resemble your siblings, you are still unique.
Taking a power nap from time to time can put you back in the pink!
Whenever possible, jump and clap for joy!
The Day God Dropped the Paint Box.
Make it an awesome day.
Peace To All and May God Bless You
Live simply.

Newfie Math Test
A Newfie wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a math test.
"Here is your first question", the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" The Newfie says? "Dat's easy." He proceeds to draw three trees.
"Here is your first question", the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" The Newfie says? "Dat's easy." He proceeds to draw three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Have you got no brain? Tree and tree plus tree makes 9" says the Newfie.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."
The Newfie stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree... " 'ere you go."
The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"
"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, plus dirty tree. Dat makes 99."
The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Newfie , so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
The Newfie stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, " 'ere you go. One hundred."
"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, plus dirty tree. Dat makes 99."

The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!"
The Newfie leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers, "A little dog come along and poops by each tree.
The Newfie is the new supervisor.

Winter In Newfoundland
No winter trip to Newfoundland, for me, would be complete with out someone's vehicle getting stuck somewhere in the snow!
I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Corb Lund song "The Truck Got Stuck", but the first line is "The Chev got stuck, ..."
First a little back story:
At the point when these pictures were taken, it had been snowing a good solid three days. The garbage container at the end of the driveway, on the left side of the pictures, is as high as my waste and there was only 2 slats showing above the snow.
Anyway, Cordell (Charly's boyfriend/Jessica's dad) decided he wanted some bacon for breakfast, in the worst kinda way. We (me, mom and Charly) tried to tell him that there was no way the car was going to get through that snow. I mean, it's got snow tires, but the snow was at least up to it's fender and higher in some places AND there was ice under the snow.
Well, he tried so here is a Chev, and it sure is stuck!

Not going forward OR backward
Cordell indicating just how happy he was with us for sitting in the window and laughing at him.
Cordell driving and Charly gonna push.
Pushing....still not moving
Looking at it is surely gonna make it move
Shoveled a bit, now turn the wheels this way
They got it to move, but now stuck in a new place...still trying to shovel
At this point, I decided it would be nicer of me to go help
instead of just taking pictures.
If you look closely, you can see my blue mitt on the steering wheel.
Charly and Cordell were able to get me out and I backed
into another parking spot that was clear.
Three of us standing looking at the car saying "it's staying here until
we're plowed out!"
Cordell did eventually go and get bacon, he didn't wait for us to be plowed out, but he managed not to get stuck again! The bacon was tasty.
I leave you with this little video and snippet of the Corb Lund song I was talking about! Enjoy!
