Marbles.

Post 747 ~ ~ ~ Tuesday, 2nd August, 2011.

Hello again my friends ~~ Just a quick post tonight to let you know how I got on
with the Heart Specialist yesterday, and to thank everyone who sent comments
and said prayers for a good result. Well I think I got a good report ~~ basically
I see him again in 3 months. He seemed happy with this as I have no dizziness
or distress from the low heart rate. He mentioned a pacemaker and said I should
go to Melbourne and have tests to see if there are any blockages in arteries.

Before I go back I have to have blood tests (naturally) and also a 24 hour tester
to take blood pressure and heart rate every half hour, during normal activities.
So we will see how it goes until then. Meanwhile I hope you are all doing well
and enjoying your lives. I feel brighter with the flowers and lemon tree that
Geoff planted for me. Anything new and pretty gives one a lift.

I hope to get around to answering everyone tomorrow. My granddaughter came
to take me to the appointment and we were there nearly 2 hours. She had to
go home today to work this evening, and she lives 3 hours away. Thank you
Kristen ~~ much appreciated, and I love you. I also did shopping with my carer lady,
so am a little tired. But all stocked up again.

First item came to me from my good friend, Lady Di. It is called "Marbles" Thanks Dianne.

Once you let them go, you can't get them back, so I am going to tie you to my
heart so I never lose you.

Send the poem below to all your friends. Just smile and say:

Dear Lord,
I know you're watching over me
And I'm feeling truly blessed,
For no matter what I pray for
You always know what's best.

I have this circle of e mail friends
Who mean the world to me.
Some days I 'send' and 'send'
At other times I let them be.

I am so blessed to have these friends
With whom I've grown so close.
So this little poem I dedicate to them
Because to me they are the 'Most.'

When I see each name download
And view the message they have sent;
I know they've thought of me that day
And 'well wishes' was their intent.

So to you my friends, I would like to say
Thank you for being a part
Of all my daily contacts,
This comes right from my heart.

God bless you is my prayer today
I'm honored to call you 'friend';
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
Until we write again..

We can't afford to lose our Marbles. . . For Life is too Short.

First joke comes from my cousin Karyn in New Zealand. Thanks.
The Italian Wedding Test.

I was a very happy man.
My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year.
So we decided to get married.

There was only one thing bothering me.
It was her beautiful younger sister, Sofia.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight mini-skirts, and generally was bra-less.

She would regularly bend down when she was near me.
I always got more than a nice view.
It had to be deliberate.
She never did it around anyone else.

One day she called me and asked me to come over
"To check my sister's wedding invitations", she said.
She was alone when I arrived.
She whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me
That she couldn't overcome anymore.

She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married.
She said, "Before you commit your life to my sister".
Well I was in total shock and I couldn't say a word.

She said, " I'm going upstairs to my bedroom."
She said, " If you want one last wild fling,
just come up and have me."

I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go upstairs,
I stood there for a moment. Then turned and made a bee-line
straight to the front door.

I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.
Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside
all clapping.

With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me.
He said, "Sergio, we are happy that you have passed our little test.
We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter.
Welcome to the family, my son."

And the moral of this story is:

Always keep your condoms in your car.

Next from my good friend Patricia. Thanks Patty.
Well this one should offend everyone. LOL. But sending it anyway.

My neighbor knocked on my door at 2.30 am this morning. can you believe
that . . .2.30 am? Luckily for him, I was still up playing my bagpipes.

Man calls 911 and says "I think my wife is dead." The operator says,
"How do you know?" He says, "The sex is the same, but the laundry
is building up."

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest
penis she had ever laid her hands on. I said, "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady slip and fall on the ice. At least I presume she was
poor -- she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.

Went for my routine check-up today and everything seemed to be going
fine until he stuck his index finger up my butt. Do you think I should
change dentists?

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking
behind my back. He says, what do you expect? You're in a wheelchair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated
but must come back as a different creature. She said she would come back
as a cow. I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So I have been to the thrift shop trying to get all her clothes back.
<><>

Time to say Goodnight . My love and best wishes to you all. Look
after each other and yourselves. Cheers, Merle.
