      Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were taking a
      walk one fine October day.

      One remarked to the other, “Windy, ain’t it?”

      “No,” the second man replied, “It’s Thursday.”

      And the third man chimed in, “So am I. Let’s have a coke.”

      Have a great day!

              An optimist sees the best in the world, while a pessimist (a non- optimist) sees only the worst. An optimist finds the positive in the negative, and a pessimist can only find the negative in the positive.
              Let me illustrate what I mean . . .
              An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.
              He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.
              As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. they fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet.
              The friend saw everything but did not say a single word.
              On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, “Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?”
              “I sure did,” responded his friend. “He can’t swim.”

                  Two senior couples are walking along, wives in front, husbands in
                  back. Herb says to Sam, “Gee, we went to a new restaurant last night
                  and had the best meal ever. Good prices too.”

                  Sam says, “Well, we like to eat out too. What was the name of the
                  restaurant?”

                  Herb says, “You’ll going to have to help me out here a little. What’s
                  the name of that pretty flower, smells sweet, grows on a thorny bush?”
                  Sam says, “How about rose?”

                  “Yes, yes, that’s it!” cries Herb, then calls ahead to his wife.
                  “Rose. Hey, Rose. What was the name of the restaurant we ate at last
                  night?”

                  Hope y’all had a great weekend and Thanksgiving!

                      With Apologies to Clement C. Moore…
                      I would guess there are few more parodied poems in the English language
                      than Clement C. Moore’s A Visit from St. Nicholas (more popularly known
                      as The Night Before Christmas). In celebration of the holiday season,

                          vOne day while walking down the street a highly successful executive woman was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. “Welcome to Heaven,” said St.Peter. “Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we’ve never once had an executive make it this far and we’re not really sure what to do with you.”
                          “No problem, just let me in.” said the woman.
                          “Well, I’d like to, but I have higher orders. What we’re going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in.”
                          “Actually, I think I’ve made up my mind…I prefer to stay in Heaven”, said the woman.
                          “Sorry, we have rules…” And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends
                          – fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good- bye as she got on the elevator.
                          The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her. “Now it’s time to spend a day in heaven,” he said.
                          So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her.
                          “So, you’ve spent a day in hell and you’ve spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,” he said.
                          The woman paused for a second and then replied, “Well, I never thought I’d say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell.”
                          So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and Filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. “I don’t understand,” stammered the woman, “yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”
                          The Devil looked at her and smiled. “Yesterday we were recruiting you; today you’re staff.”

                                LOL! Funny, Dee, but not sure I would be up all night writing it!
                                Get some sleep!

                                Hugs,
