We All Need A Tree.

Post 429 ~ ~ ~ Sunday, 30th March 2008.

Hi Everyone ~~ I hope you are enjoying the weekend, or in the
case of Australia ~ I hope you have enjoyed the weekend.
While I was away, there was over 2 inches of rain here, great for
the garden etc, BUT it has turned the weather quite cool, very
suddenly. It has been about 2o C which is 68 F so it is quite a
change and much colder at night. I hope you are all getting some
warmer Spring weather and no more snow until next season.

Well I have caught up on the laundry and it's all put away, and
tomorrow I have to cook some meals again.Funny how they
keep disappearing !! Now to find something to post.

My dear friend Barbara sent me this one and I liked it.
It is called "We All Need A Tree." Hope you enjoy. Thank
you Barbara for the nice items you send me.

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and
after he had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat
tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and
his ancient one ton truck refused to start. While I drove him
home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked
toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree,
touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door he underwent an amazing transform-
-ation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two
small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and
my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I
had seen him do earlier.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied, " I know I can't help
having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those
troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and children . . .
. . .so I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come
home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning
to pick them up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember
hanging up the night before."

Time for some jokes ~ ~ ~

A man and his wife are sitting in the living room and he says
to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative
state dependent on a machine. If that happens, just pull the
plug."
So his wife gets up and unplugs the TV>

One from Warren ~~ thank you Warren.

She was in the kitchen preparing to boil eggs for breakfast.
He walked in and she turned and said, " You've got to make
love to me at this very moment."

His eyes lit up and he thought, "This is my lucky day."
Not wanting to lose the moment, he embraced her and then
gave it his all, right there on the kitchen table.

Afterwards she said, "Thanks," and returned to the stove.
More than a little puzzled, he asked, "What was that all about?"
She explained, "The egg-timer is broken."

Another from Barbara ~ ~ Thanks Barbara.

An old lady was lonely and decided she needed a pet to keep
her company. So off she went to the pet shop. She searched
and searched. But none of the pets seemed to catch her
interest, except this ugly frog. As she walked by the jar he
was in , she looked and he winked at her.

He whispered, "I'm so lonely too. Buy me and take me home.
You won't ever be sorry."

The old lady figured, what the heck! She hadn't found anything
else. So she bought the frog. She placed him in the car, on the
front seat beside her.

As she was slowly driving down the road, the frog whispered to
her, "Kiss me and you won't be sorry."

So, the old lady figured, "What the heck," and kissed the frog.
Immediately the frog turned into an absolutely gorgeous, sexy,
young, handsome prince.

The prince returned the old lady's kiss.
Suddenly the old lady felt herself transforming from his kiss.

Now can you guess what the old lady turned into?

COME ON GUESS !

When Cardboard Men Come in Handy.

A car gets a flat on the interstate one day. The blonde driver
eases it over on to the shoulder of the road, carefully steps
out of the car and opens the trunk. She takes out two card-
board men, unfolds them and stands them at the rear of the
vehicle. facing oncoming traffic.

The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats exposing their
nude bodies and private parts to approaching drivers.
Not surprisingly, the traffic becomes snarled and backed up.
It isn't very long before a police car arrives.

The officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde of the
disabled vehicle yelling, "What's going on here ?"
My car broke down, officer," says the blonde calmly.

"Well, what the hell are these obscene cardboard pictures
doing here by the road ?" he asks.

"Hellllooooooo!!!!! " says the blonde. "These are my
emergency flashers !!"

A husband and wife go to a counsellor after 15 years of
marriage. The counsellor asks them what the problem is
and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they
have ever had in the 15 years they've been married. She
goes on and on and on.

Finally, the counsellor gets up, goes around the desk,
embraces the woman and kisses her passionately, rips off
her clothes and makes mad passionate love to her.
Needless to say, the woman shuts up and the sits quietly
with a very satisfied look on her face.

The counsellor turns to the husband and says, "That is
what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you
do that ?"

The husband thinks for a moment and then replies, "Well,
I can get her here Mondays and Wednesdays, but Fridays
I play golf."
