Playing Catch Up

As you can see from all the posts yesterday, I was truly bored.

Just thought I would catch people up in case anyone was still reading this crap.

Pat and I are still together.  We had a huge blowout fight the other day.  Got a lot of stuff out in the open.  The end result is that he has gotten a good, reliable job and will be helping with the bills.

I managed to buy a car.  I am driving a 1998 Dodge Stratus.  Bright red.  It has a lot of miles, but it still runs pretty well.

Work still sucks, but it is getting better.

I am learning a lot about my heritage.  One of my cousins has been doing a lot of work on genealogy lately.  They have discovered that my great-great grandfather and uncle rode with Quantrill Raiders after the Civil War.

And on the other side of the family, I have learned that my great-grandfather came over from Switzerland with 6 of his brothers. They settled in different parts of America and Canada.

Pretty amazing stuff.

Anyway, hope all is well in your world.

Whatever Works

 

woman comes home and tells her husband, "Remember those headaches I've been having all these years?  Well, they're gone."

        "No more headaches?" the husband asks, "What happened?"

        His wife replies,  "Margie referred me to a hypnotist.  He told me to stand in front of a mirror, stare at myself and repeat 'I do not
        have a headache; I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache'. It worked! The headaches are all gone."
        The husband replies,  "Well, that is wonderful."


        His wife then says, "You know, you haven't been exactly a ball of fire in the bedroom these last few years. Why don't you go see the
        hypnotist and see if he can do anything for that?" 

        The husband agrees to try it.


        Following his appointment, the husband comes home, rips off his clothes, picks up his wife and carries her into the bedroom He puts her on the bed and says, "Don't move, I'll be right back."

        He goes into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later and jumps into bed and makes passionate love to his wife like never before.
        His wife says, "Boy, that was wonderful!"
        The husband says, "Don't move! I will be right back."

        He goes back into the bathroom, comes back and round two was even better than the first time.
        The wife sits up and her head is spinning.
        Her husband again says,  "Don't move, I'll be right back."

        With that, he goes back in the bathroom. This time, his wife quietly follows him and there, in the bathroom, she sees him standing at the mirror and saying, "She's not my wife. She's not my wife. She's not my wife!"

        Services will be held on Monday
