Friday’s Funnies – My Faves This Week – July 14, 2023

This week started out decent but then Tuesday one of my furbabies was sickly. It just happened. One day she was eating like a pig and the next day, she wasn’t eating much at all. She had lost some weight, and wasn’t eating, drinking, or urinating much. My first thought was her kidneys. I have already lost several cats to kidney disease and I wasn’t prepared to have to put down another of my loves. I knew I would have to do it because I wouldn’t ever want any of them to suffer…

Our wonderful vet had no appointments open this morning but agreed that if I get there at 9am sharp then they could squeeze us in between the others. A complete blood count was done, and after what seemed an eternity, he came back with the results. Her kidneys were fine. Her liver was fine. Her white blood count was high, which he said normally means an infection…frequently it’s a UTI. So he gave her IV fluids and a long-lasting antibiotic injection, plus a steroid injection. We are home now and she already looks better and has eaten some of her favorite “Lickables” in a pouch.

Anyway, I thought I was going to lose her kidney disease and would be in no mood for today’s funnies, but here I am! I’m ready and willing and so very relieved to not have lost another of my furbabies! On with the funnies because that’s what you came for, right?!

Ok, I am exhausted, mentally and physically. Time to take a good nap. I hope these funnies aren’t repeats. I forgot to delete last week’s off my phone and laptop so I got a little confused! I hope you get a few laughs from this week’s collection! My faves are Shocked Miss Piggy, Samuel L., Vacuum Sealed, and Stoned Hunter.

Have a super weekend, friends! Until next time,

The other day, I responded to a photo of the most beautiful cat on Facebook. I said, “He/She is gorgeous!” What I got back was a lecture about how it is appropriate and grammatically correct to use ‘they’ when the sex is unknown. So, I was supposed to say, “They are gorgeous!” That just doesn’t sound right because it was ONE cat. And really, who cares? It’s a cat! The cat doesn’t give a rat’s ass if you call it he, she, or they. It’s not a human! The cat doesn’t care.

Don’t get me wrong about this pronoun business. I am very sensitive to the fact that many nonbinary people identify as they, or perhaps another pronoun altogether. I would never purposely say something insulting to a nonbinary person…however, I would like the same consideration in return. For example, if I use the incorrect pronoun, the nonbinary person should try and understand that a) perhaps I didn’t know or b) that it’s sometimes very confusing. The nonbinary person shouldn’t get their panties in a knot about it. If you don’t celebrate Christmas for whatever reason, do you get all pushed out of shape when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas? It would be stupid and insulting for someone to be a twat about it when they are just being given good wishes and it’s not obvious by looking at someone if they celebrate the holiday or not. The same goes for nonbinary people. You can’t look at someone and know what pronoun they identify as.

Anyway, it just drives me bonkers to be lectured or “educated” by some idiot who doesn’t know me from Adam. There are a lot of idiots on Facebook, let me tell you. It used to be a fun place to hang out and stay connected with friends and family but I’m about fed up with it. You don’t dare comment on a public page without some idiot (or asshole, take your pick of adjectives) responding in a hateful way.

People also fail to realize that when they read something, they may not read it the way the writer intended. What I mean is that text cannot accurately convey tone, emotion, expressions, etc., so it can be easily misinterpreted or misunderstood. It doesn’t help that punctuation is misunderstood or left out completely. It seems that I am always misunderstood. Sometimes I think I must be writing in a foreign language or something!

Well, that’s it for today. I hope you have a stress-free day with no useless conflicts.

Well, crap on a cracker, as Penny says.

It’s Friday already. The weeks and years go by so quickly and I just keep getting older. On Wednesday I’ll be another year older, in fact. Yay. Kill me now. Back when my kids were still at home, I told them I was 35 years old for 5 years before one of them asked, “Weren’t you 35 last year?” And then one of them did the math. It was hilarious that I got away with it for so long! So, the running joke every year is, “You’re going to be 35, right, Mom?!” Sure. I’ll take it. Beats the numbers that keep going higher!!

I hope this week has been a good one for you, the reader of this boring blog. I hope it isn’t too boring though! Hahaha. Anyway, on with this week’s collection! Enjoy!

So, have you any faves this week? I think I have to go with Monty Python Horseshoes! Hilarious! That produce guy is my kind of guy! I hope you enjoyed this collection! I have about 20 more but that would make this post too long so I’ll save them for next week or maybe have a Special Edition, just for shits and giggles!

I hope you have a super weekend and that you still have all your fingers!! Too many people are careless and just plain stupid when it comes to fireworks. I’d hate to work in the ER on the 4th of July, seriously!

Anyway, until next time!

LGBTQ+ Rights Being Eroded

I wish I knew what the hell was going on in this country! Every time I turn around, there’s a new bill targeting LGBTQ+ folks and it’s alarming and just plain wrong! I’m pretty sure every single one of us knows someone who is in the LGBTQ+ category! I have family members, friends, and acquaintances who are LGBTQ+…so what’s the big deal? Jesus never said, “Love everyone except those LGBTQ+ people!” I get so angry when I hear people going on about letting others live their own lives or preaching to others about how they just need to be themselves. So, why can’t people let others live their own lives and walk their own paths even if they are LGBTQ+? Too many hypocrites out there…just saying.

Water Heater Blues

Back in early February, our water heater blew an element. Up until yesterday, we were using half-assed hot water. The water was being heated but not as hot as it would be with both elements operational. For months, we’ve had to rush in the shower before the hot water ran out! Rushing in the shower is not a good idea when you’re disabled! Anyway, Tuesday night, we heard a big BANG! POP! It was the same sound we heard when the first element went out. I thought, Oh great. How long will it take for Dad to do something so we don’t have to take cold showers? He actually got to it yesterday and it took him all day but we are now running the water heater with two elements. I can finally take the time to scrub the months-worth of dried skin off my legs and feet!

The Family You’re Born With vs. The Family You Chose

Some of you know a little about the family drama I encountered a couple of weeks ago. I’m not angry. I’m just sad that it has come to this. I no longer give a shit. They are still family and I love them but I have a better support system with friends I have never met in person! Those are the people I consider family. Some are blogger friends, and some are friends on Facebook. I just want to say thank you, to all of you who have been there for me, who check up on me and Dad, and who have provided a ‘safe place’ for me to vent. You know who you are! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That’s all for now, friends! I hope you’re having a lovely week! What’s eating you?

I promised myself I would get Friday’s Funnies out to you last week, but some “nasty stuff” hit the fan and ruined my whole mindset. So here I am today, determined to laugh and help you laugh, too! Laughing seems to be harder to do than it used to be and we all need to laugh now and again. That’s the whole point of this weekly post and I apologize for not keeping up!

I hope this week’s collection tickles your funny bone. Be sure to comment your faves at the end of the post!

I think my favorite is Car’s Extended Warranty! What’s yours? The 100% Horseshit meme takes a close 2nd…it’s so life-like and took some talent to be so damn accurate!

I hope your summer isn’t too unbearably hot. I have to say, I am ready for winter already. Yesterday the high was 102 degrees and last night barely dropped below 80 degrees. If only it wasn’t so humid, it would be much more comfortable. Even the a/c can’t keep up. Stay cool, friends!

Have a super weekend and just a reminder: Please do not leave children or pets in hot cars, even with the window cracked! It’s still too damn hot!
