Post 380 ~ ~ ~ Tuesday, 11th December, 2007. Hello my friends ~~ I hope all is well with you with a good Later on, I had a taxi ride to the podiatrist, so I'm all set read what you have all been doing. I got a really nice e mail from my dear friend Gwen that I would like to share with you. Thanks Gwen, I like it. It is called, "I wish you enough. Enjoy. Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, 'I love you and I wish you enough'. more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom'.
over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'. why is this a forever good-bye?'. ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said. 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means? '. handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone'. She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled! even more. 'When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them'. Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory. person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them. To all my friends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH. <><><>Time for some jokes ~ ~ ~ My son, Geoff who turned 50 a few days ago, sent me this brief one. Thanks Geoff. See you and Jo on Friday. I don't mind coming to work at all, but this eight hour wait to go home again is bulls**t. <><> One from my friend Embee, thanks Mike. Computers. A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either Masculine or Feminine. "House " for instance is feminine : "la casa." "Pencil" is masculine : "el lapiz." A student asked, "What gender is a computer ?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine ora feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender, ("la computadora") because : 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic. 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible retrieval, and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay-check on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine, ("el computador"), because : 1. In order to do anything with them you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem, and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won !! Send this to all the smart women you know . . . and all the men who have a good sense of humour !! <><> Miss Bea, the church organist, was in her 80s and had nver been married. She was much admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to take a seat while she made some tea. As he sat, facing her old pump organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it, filled with water. In the water floated, of all things, a condom ! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. "Miss Bea," he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?" pointing to the bowl. "Oh Yes," she replied, "isn't it wonderful? I was walking downtown a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet, and it would prevent disease. And you know, I haven't had a cold all winter!!" <><> A journalist is walking along the beach and notices a young boy in the surf being attacked by a shark. Then he sees a bloke (guy) rush in, swim out to the attack, pry the shark's mouth open, give it a flogging and ends up killing the beast. He swims back to shore with the boy alive with some gashes out of his leg, then calls for help and makes sure the youngster is OK. The journo goes up to the brave rescuer and says, "What an amazing heroic effort. I'm a journalist and I can see the front page headline already . . . . Aussie hero saves boy from shark attack." The hero says, "That;s fantastic but I'm actually English." The next day, the Pom picks up the paper to see the following front page headline -- - " Pommy Bastard kills young boy's Pet fish." <><> I know I am not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it on to your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider. <><> A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, " When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip." So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on his door. 1. Sit the vodka, don't gulp. 2. There are 10 commandments, not 12. 3. There are 12 disciples, not 10. 4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated. 5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass. 6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C. 7. The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook. 8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the s**t out of him. 9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass. 10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T." 11. When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me." 12. The Virgin Mary is not called, "Mary with the Cherry." 13. The recommended grace before a meal is not, "Rub-A-Dub-Dub, thanks for the grub. Yeah God." 14 Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St.Peters not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffys. <><> A few quotes to finish with.

Dear Merle,
Oh, I'm sorry about the bruise. I hope it's healing well. And I hope the trip to the podietrist went well.
I have to finish my Christmas cards today, and get two packages in the mail. So much to do, so little time.
"I wish you enough" was a lovely read, and so true! Thank you for posting it. And yea! on the women winning. I agree, a computer is definitely a 'he!" Lol. And the jokes were all funny!
I always enjoy visiting with you, dear Merle. Have a lovely day.
Warmest regards,
Renie
That's not a nice Christmas gift, a blue spot on your leg !
Hi Dear Merle,, Ouchhh! I bet you felt like swearing, and I hope your leg wont be to sore tomorrow it always seem to hurt more the next day. Nice story . I wish you enough, great jokes, The organist got me tonight all computers are Males,lol.Jan xoxoxo
Dearest Merle
Oh dear, how is the bruise on your leg now? I'm so sorry to hear about it. Please take care.
(((HUGS)))
"I Wish You Enough" is so true.
Thank you for sharing it with us =)
Hmmm did you really bang your leg on the side of a car Merle or were you out disco dancing again ..?!?
I liked the computers ones a lot...
especially the last one that if only you'd waited you'd have got a much better model
that applies to so many things in life
(sad to say - haha!)
I forgot to put the *asterisk above "disco dancing" but I once went clubbing...
got home with an ALMIGHTY black bruise under my ribcage and could not for the LIFE of me remember how it got there...
in the end I think I surmised I got it by crashing into the iron spiral staircase they had in the dark back of the club
man! that was a massive bruise though

do you get wild lorikeets near you?
I saw a photo of some in Queensland in Bimbimbie's blog
http://bimbimbie.blogspot.com - wow!
Even in pet shops those are rare over here!!!
Don't you just hate that when you give the leg a good bump and don't even realize it's going to happen until it's too late.
I'm thinking about going to a podiatrist. My Mother went to one, she told her family doctor she has a hard time trimming her toenails with her bad knee. She told me I should go, apparently our Medicare will pay for us to go to one every three months to get our toenails trimmed. I think i will be setting up an appointment. My hips hurt so bad when I try to put my foot onto something and bend down to cut them. Then if the glasses aren't sitting just right, I almost cut my skin, and my Mother says when person has higher then normal blood sugar they should be careful messing around with their feet. So perhaps in the New Year, I will be sitting up an appointment.
My oncologist visit today went well. She does want me to go in for a body scan to make sure this problem I've been having is old arthur and not something else. So that's schueduled for Friday the 21st. Nothing else new. Be careful you don't get anymore bruises.
Merle
Sorry about the bump on the leg. I always get a little angry at meself when I do such a thing. Then I try to make a mental note that I have just clober that part of my body so when the evidences arrives I will remember what I did to get it. I have had bruises that I had no recollections of and that is rather scary in itself.
Glad you got those sock eater(that what Puppy called toe nails) cut so you will be able to wear socks.
Enjoyed the post.
Peace
So, Merle, the bumper bar gave you a bump? Ouch!
I know what it’s like not to be able to trim one’s own toe nails and just received a long-handled toe nail trimmer that I ordered on the Internet so I can now again where socks which is good because it is cold outside!
Dear Merle,
Once again, I'm sorry I haven't been by more often. That bump from the car sounds painful. I used to take my Mom to the podiatrist to have her toenails done as she was diabetic. It's really much safer than doing it at home from what they told her.
Enjoyed reading the jokes and the email you got from Gwen. Very touching..
xo
Oh Merle, I'm sorry about your bruise. At least you know where it came from. Sometimes a little bruise will show up and I'll have no idea where it came from. I hope yours isn't too bothersome sweetie. I hope you have a beautiful Christmas Merle....with love and warmth all around you. Love, Joy
Hi Merle it's Thursday now I hope that nasty bruise has gone down. It's very dark and cold this end! Very cold indeed. It has been less than 0C!
Take care,
all the best

It is too bad about your bruise. I hope your leg doesn't hurt and the bruise goes away fast.
Good on the Christmas cards. We aren't that fast over here at our house.
My computer is uni-sex. It has all those properties. :-)

Dearest Merle
