Our snow is melting and the built up ice on the roof let loose with a heck of a thump.

Just the perfe...Good morn from Scotland dear Merle.<br />Just the perfect time for me to come in here and get my day off to a good start!<br />If you don't mind could l borrow the first joke for my blog- too funny and TRUE!!<br />I laughed out loud at, "Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a<br />truck. Ricky aged 10."<br />Where do these kids get these ideas!! lol<br /><br />I am so glad that the weather has settled down a bit for you there- l hope things start to look up.<br />Take care ((Merle)) xx :)HORIZONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655324328745247517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-21907597354880678532011-02-17T11:29:05.326+11:002011-02-17T11:29:05.326+11:00Hi Merle.

I have no idea why the name was changed, either.<br /><br />I have a new blog, had no choice really but have explained why in the first post.<br /><br />Glad you've survived all the awful weather we've had. It's not too bad today just the odd shower but we've had about three weeks of fine hot weather. About time is what I say.<br /><br />Keep well<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />RobynOzkatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565313350856838588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-32325022649873116332011-02-17T02:08:34.144+11:002011-02-17T02:08:34.144+11:00Dear Merle, I'm back. LOL Don't know wher...Dear Merle, I'm back. LOL Don't know where the time goes, it seems I no more then set down at the computer and it's time to start dinner/supper, the hours between just seem to fly. But then I also have a lot of interruptions from the time I flip on my computer until I flip it off. (and believe me sometimes I do feel like FLIPPING IT OFF) LOL Like yesterday, I was doing my usual chores, plus laundry, then time to pick up the granddaughter, came back checked on roast in the oven (for supper), then remembered Abe had a doctor's appointment at 5:20, so off we went, didn't get back until 6:45 pm, daughter and granddaughter had all ready started to eat their dinner and I don't blame them. Then off to drugstore to get Abe's antibiotic, which hadn't arrived yet, it goes over the internet, so they called the doctor's office, she's right here in our town, she told them what it was, they had enough for two days and pharmacist will have more today, which means I will have to go back. By the time that was all done it was almost 8:30pm. And I still had a load of clothes that had to be thrown into the dryer. It seems for the past couple of weeks my days are like that, whether it's the laundry (for just Abe and me, daughter does hers and the granddaughters herself) or fixing meals, running the sweeper, running errands, grocery shopping or what have you, it just seems to take so long to get the job accomplished. Perhaps that's part of growing older, we just slow down. LOL I loved the little Johnny joke, but then I always thinks he's funny. And of course Biker Bob always has a few that I know must make some of the ladies upset, but they are still funny. I get emails from him and Sue also. Abe and I both got a chuckle about the priest and the rabbi. I read it to him. Keep up the funny post. Take care of yourself. Oh by the way, the flower is beautiful, but then I love violet, lavender and purple colored flowers.<br />Your friend, PattyPattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-52473980914612538832011-02-16T23:21:14.915+11:002011-02-16T23:21:14.915+11:00I have to agree that the growing old jokes were al...I have to agree that the growing old jokes were almost too true to be funny (but still funny:) One of my favorites was from bikerbob: Did you hear about the fat, alcoholic transvestite - All he<br />wanted to do was eat, drink and be Mary."<br /><br />Merle Ill never find stuff funny enough to forward you but I'm sure glad others do. This is definitely one of my favorite stops.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-51912488768517475432011-02-16T07:40:46.263+11:002011-02-16T07:40:46.263+11:00Merle

Some rain too but I am tucked into my warm little cottage.<br />I loved your jokes, especially the one where kids tell about marriage. I copied that and sent to several friends & Family. <br />I am so glad all the trouble is done there and you are ok.

Isn't that a pretty color? Glad your weather is subsiding there. National news here this week carried a clip of the prime minister there in an emotional speech before the legislature there talking about what it meant to be an Australian during all the rough weather. Quite sad but still moving.<br /><br />On the other hand, your jokes are funny as always. I liked the one about the guy roughed up by sand paper.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-82931338794335349952011-02-12T03:48:34.466+11:002011-02-12T03:48:34.466+11:00I'm slowing down too Merle...mostly because my...I'm slowing down too Merle...mostly because my aches and pains make me.
