My uncle’s dying wish was to have me sitting on his lap. He was in the electric chair.
Once when I was lost I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, ‘Do you think we’ll ever find them?’ He said, ‘I don’t know kid, there are so many places they can hide.
HOW TO BE A GRACIOUS MOTHER
Jennifer’s wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent’s nasty divorce.
Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her
father’s new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!
Jennifer asked her father’s new young wife to exchange it, but she refused.
“Absolutely not! I look like a
million bucks in this dress, and I’m wearing it,” she replied.
Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ‘’Never mind
sweetheart. I’ll get another dress. After all, it’s your special day.’’
A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother.
When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ‘’Aren’t you going to return the other dress?
You really don’t have another occasion where
you could wear it.”
Her mother just
smiled and replied, ‘’Of course I do,dear.....I’m wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night BEFORE the wedding.’’
Gotta love Rodney.
As for me, it's great to be back. I spent the whole month of October (and more) in the wonderful country of Bahrain. 40 days. Great to be home where everything is NOT the color of the dirt.
Had a French rental car.....Renault - one of the reasons the French are known for their wines. What idiot designer puts the stereo aux audio input jack under a cover inside the center console? And when the light changes and you step down on the gas the car seems to say, “WHAT?”
I was warned by one of my co-workers.....”Do not eat at ‘Easy Take-Out Burger’ on American alley. You will get food poisoning and die, or wish you would.”
By the time I left you could tell winter was coming.....morning temperatures were down in the mid-90’s.
