TEN (10) THINGS I KNOW ABOUT YOU 1) You are reading this. 2) You are human. 3) You can't say the letter ''P'' without separating your lips. 4) You just attempted to do it. 6) You are laughing at yourself. 7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped No. 5. 8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5. 9) You laugh at this because you are a fun loving person and everyone does it too. 10) You are probably going to send this to see who else falls for it. You have received this e-mail because I didn't want to be alone in the idiot category. Have a Great Day. Laugh, and then Laugh and sing It's a Beautiful Morning even when it's not.

The Deaf Wife Problem Terry feared his wife Marilyn wasn't hearing as well as she used to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do," said the doctor, "Stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." That evening, the wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He said to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeated, "Marilyn, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he got no response. So, he walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there was no response. So he walked right up behind her. "Marilyn, what's for dinner?" and she said . . . . "Oh for goodness sake, Terry! For the FIFTH time, it's CHICKEN!"

BONUS CROCHET PATTERNS: |
http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/linda-permann -
Linda Permann's I Heart Yarn Badge - "I love yarn because it
is soft, colorful, and soothing to touch. I love to pore over the colors
and fibers, petting each one and determining what it might want to
become. To me, a ball of yarn represents endless possibilities, and it's
so fulfilling to make exactly what I want from a pretty ball of string." http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/ilyd/ellen-gormley - Ellen Gormley's Icy Day Cowl - "Ellen designed the Icy Day Cowl to join in with I love Yarn Day. It has many of the features Ellen loves about crochet. The cowl allows the Yarn to be the star! When meeting a new luscious yarn, the first thing I want to do is ‘hug’ it. A cowl is perfect for holding yarn near. Yarn allows creativity while making a productive, functional item. Nothing is more satisfying that making a beautiful item that can be used." http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/ilyd/vanna-white - Vanna White's Mitered Diamonds Throw - "My love of yarn began when my grandmother taught me to crochet. Crafting was so much more than a hobby to her. It was a way to share her love with everyone around her. As a mother, it was important for me to pass on my love of yarn. Now, my daughter and I love to shop for yarn and crochet together. I’m thrilled to be able to share my affordable, easy-care yarns so that everyone can share their love with the people who matter most." |

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 10/09/14:
A famous
lawyer, who had been a public defender for years, died. He found himself
standing at the back of an enormous line outside the gates of Heaven.
The number of people who died in a single day appalled him. He could
barely see St. Peter sitting up on a podium outside the gates with a
large book.
Every now and then St. Peter glanced down the line to see how it is going. Suddenly he caught the eye of the lawyer. He looked very surprised. He jumped down from the podium and came running along the line until (slightly out of breath) he arrived beside the lawyer. He embraced him. He pulled him out of the line and motioned for him to come to the front of the queue. Another person questioned what was happening, and another angel spoke to the person. Word is passed along the line, and the lawyer was surprised as people started nodding and clapping. He became
embarrassed by all the attention, and asked St. Peter why he was getting
the special attention. |
