And I'm sure many of you have suffered or are now suffering through the disease with family or friends. But then I've always felt that if you can't laugh at life a bit and especially its biggest demons, then life is going to kick you in the butt real hard.

Sorry if anyone was offended

I agree Muncle. My family has had our share of bad luck with health issues and the only thing that kept us sane..is our sense of humor.

Keedy,

This is not "The Gong Show." This is the "Just for Fun" forum.

And gryoung has been bringing us funny little jokes and stories for a very long time. He's been doing a great job for us, along with others who come here to share things that have made them laugh. They are kind enough to pass along a little something that might bring a laugh to someone else. That's what happens in the "Just for Fun" forum and it has always worked really nicely. (Well, there was that one time, a long time ago, when I was inspired by someone's post and I ended up writing a dissertation about farts....I don't know what came over me.... but I digress.)

Back to this little talkin' to that you are getting from me.....I do not understand the point of comments like yours and the one from Scotsman that you seemed to like so much. (Now it is my turn to click on the little, yellow, bewildered thingy >>>)

Keedy, I am not trying to start something. Really. I am trying to stop something. Think about it. If you are at a party and someone tells a story or joke that you may have already heard, do you loudly announce to everyone within earshot that the story or joke is not worthy because YOU have heard it before? I would hope not. So like I said, think about it.

Boomer (and what am I doing typing after midnight? I should know better. I just got back today from vacation and being incommunicado. And now suddenly I am typing after midnight. Uh oh. Not good. Good night.)

Thanks . . Boomer You saved me 10 minutes and said it much better than I would have. I felt my life span could be extended if I would have a belly laugh like that every mourning, only to have it shortened by the very next two replies.

You are quite welcome. Sometimes I just feel the need to stand up and be counted. I have been around this board forever and I do not want us to lose our fun.

And, btw, I am going to digress here for a minute so anybody who does not like that idea, just don't read past this point. I tend to digress a little from time to time and this is for the Virginians......

I just want to say to you that I recently spent two nights in your wonderful Virginia city of Charlottesville. We were on our way back from Rodanthe, NC. We toured Monticello and also Madison's home. When I think about our Founding Fathers, I always wonder if the times made the men or the men made the times. All that genius in one place at the exact same time. Wow!

I am thankful that this defining part of our history is being so beautifully kept there in Charlottesville. And the countryside is so wonderful to drive thorough on the way to visit the homes of those men who wrote our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

...just wanted to throw that in here for you and now I better go unpack. And I better get out of here before I get into trouble for hijacking or something. .....never could color inside the lines.

There is a reason that Private Messages are available to people in this forum. Unless of course, public spankings are still used these days.

Thank-you for the reminder, George. I did get a chuckle and edited my first post to say as much.

Keedy, I didn't know you were two-faced.

Sorry...I guess I'm getting spooked because I've been lectured to a couple of times here. Plus I was ordered to remove my signature ...
