Time for this week’s funnies! I see some of the funniest things on Facebook. I often wonder don’t these people have better things to do? But then I think, I should have something better to do than blogging. Haha!
If you have something funny you’d like to share please send them my way using the contact link at the upper right of the page. I will post them on Fridays!
I’m going to try and put the funniest funnies at the end, so you can expect them and not have a mouthful of coffee when you get to them….but then what’s “coffee spitting” funny to me might be different for you!
Anti-gravity goats are all the rage these days….
Makes him look all the more awesome, ‘eh??
Be safe and get rid of that chainsaw!
Every time I leave the house….
Think about this:
I try every single day.
Definitely….
Now, here are the memes I thought were the funniest so make sure you don’t have hot coffee in your mouth!
And this, the best of them all!!!! Someone really didn’t think this through!
So, that’s it for this week’s funnies! I hope you got a chuckle out of them! Please do leave comments with your thoughts and/or suggestions! Have a great weekend!
It’s been raining off and on for several days, mostly ON. The furbabies are sick of the rain too, as they can’t (or won’t is more accurate) go out on the catio like they normally do. The roof keeps springing leaks; Dad thinks he has the problem solved and then it starts dripping again with the next rainfall, although in a different spot. We just can’t win. Last night, I needed my trusty earplugs in order to get any sleep at all. The blasted drip, drip, drip outside my bedroom window seemed much louder than it should have.
Monday started out with a little rain but not too bad. I had to take Dad to the doctor for his 6-month check up so I was happy to not have to drive in pouring rain. There were large puddles on the road, but that wasn’t a problem. We left a little earlier than normal to compensate for driving a bit slower.
Dad’s doctor used to work in 3 different clinics of the same medical group in the area but then she started seeing patients in just one clinic. Just our luck, it was the clinic furthest from us which is approx. 45 minutes away. So, off we went. When we got to the clinic, Dad went to check in and he was told that his doctor had retired last month. The girl at the desk said that all of Dr. Harper’s patients were called. I said, “No one called us!” Dad sure wasn’t going to speak up, so I did. “We had to drive 45 minutes to get here,” I said. She said, “I’m sorry. I don’t know how his appointment got missed.” I do. Incompetence. But ok. I know shit sometimes happens, so I let it go. Naturally, there were no appointments open for that day with another provider so we had to make another appointment. This time for Wednesday and with a nurse practitioner because they don’t have a doctor there as of yet. Dad needed his scripts renewed so he had no choice.
Tuesday, was my appointment to see my therapist. Dad likes to come along because we go have lunch afterward. My therapist moved her practice further away and there are more restaurant choices, so we make a big day of it. It was raining when we left the house and it never let up. It rained all day long. My knees were in bad shape. I could barely walk – it was worse than normal and I’m pretty sure it was because of the rain. What they say about arthritis and joint problems is true. The weather dictates how bad the pain is! We managed to get to my therapist’s office without any problems. She gave me some helpful suggestions for the sleep problems I’ve been having.
When we left her office it was STILL raining! We decided to not drive too much further and just had Mexican food at El Patron. Great food, clean place, and very nice people! Can’t ask for much more than that when eating out! Problem is, we nearly didn’t make it.
I was in the right-hand lane of the highway because I knew I would be turning right. When I saw the intersection and traffic light I started to slow down. There was a vehicle in the left-hand lane, who decided he was going to move into the right-hand lane. He was going much too fast considering the rain and large puddles on the roads. Visibility was low and obviously, he didn’t see me there, directly on his right. If I hadn’t been already slowing, and paying close attention, he would have slammed right into us! I’m sure it would have been a disaster, knocking us completely off the road. I can honestly say, that I am an excellent driver. I have had no accidents. I have received no tickets, parking or traffic. I am an extremely good driver. I am always on top of things. I am constantly watching and anticipating a stupid move by another driver. ALWAYS. I was on top of my game that day and avoided a catastrophe. I hope that guy (or woman) knows just how lucky they were that they didn’t cause an accident.
I swear, driving in the rain is like driving with chimpanzees.
(Although truthfully, I’m pretty sure chimps could do a better job driving than the morons I encounter on the road these days.)
When we finished our lunch, we headed home. Talk about tired. This was the third day of dealing with other people. Not my forte.
So, today I’ve decided I’m not doing a damn thing. Well, that’s a lie. I did the laundry I didn’t have a chance to do for 3 days. I made a pot of Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup, which is always delish and warms the innards on a cold and rainy day. I took a 2-hour nap and slept like a baby! I never even got out of my pajamas! It was a calm and peaceful day.
Another TBT and I am finding it difficult to choose which old posts to re-share! Some are good, some are funny, some are too stupid…. Hmmm. Here’s one that takes me back to the days when my son was always bringing home some kind of critter. I actually miss those days…but not so much some of the critters!
No, I’m not going to belittle anyone who shops at Walmart. Why? Because I shop at Walmart. I have no choice. There’s not much to choose from where I live. It really chaps my hide when people put down Walmart and the folks who shop there. #1: Walmart is no better or worse than Target, Kohl’s or any other department store. They all have their positive aspects and negative aspects alike. #2: People are going to shop where it’s convenient for them. If they like a store, they will shop there. End of story.
Do I see people dressed funny when I go to Walmart? Sometimes. Do I see people with funny hairstyles at Walmart? Yep. Do I see ill-behaved children at Walmart? Definitely. Do I see socially awkward and ridiculous people at Walmart? Absolutely. Do I smell funny smells at Walmart? OMG yes.
It’s the same thing anywhere I go. That’s life. Truth be told, weird folks are everywhere.
But this post is about something more. It’s not about strange hairstyles, the clothing, the smells, the noise, weird behavior or anything else that you might find unfavorable. It’s about the genuine warmth of people. It’s about real people. It’s about people who are out there busting their butts working at Walmart (or Target, or any other store) who are really good people. It’s about the customers who are really nice and polite to other people. It’s time we stop focusing on the negative and look at the good right in front of our faces every time we go out.
This is a shout out to:
the people who smile as they pass even though they are having the worst day ever but can still be nice to others.
the woman who holds the restroom door open for you as she leaves.
the young man who asks you if you need help reaching something.
the employee who asks if you need help finding something.
the employee in electronics who answers every stupid question you throw at him.
the checker who works as quickly as she can and actually bags your groceries properly; the eggs are bagged separately and the bananas aren’t bagged with the canned goods.
the old man in the scooter who acknowledges he’s a reckless driver with a huge toothless grin on his face.
the woman who realizes she’s blocking the entire aisle and apologizes as she moves over.
the mothers who keep their children from running amuck and disturbing others.
the cart collector who helps you get your groceries in the trunk and then takes your cart back to the store.
the stock clerk who picks up the 40 lb. box of kitty litter (without being asked) and puts it in your cart for you.
the person who lets you go in front of him/her in the check out line.
the employee who goes to look if there’s new stock of something that seems to be unavailable on the shelves.
all the folks who say please, thank you, and excuse me.
Thank you for being the light in someone’s day. Thank you for your hard work. Thanks for your kindness, generosity, and for being the good in this world. We need more people like you!
