Here is my contribution for Mortician's Day.


I think I will celebrate "Try a New Dessert Day!'

*grin*

LOL!!

Hi, Darks.

I'm having a tough time coming up with anything to post for Mortician Day. I wonder if Tulip is playing a trick on us today.

1 package (18 oz.) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
12 assorted HERSHEY'S MINIATURES Chocolate Bars, unwrapped
1/4 cup HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips

1/4 cup HERSHEY'S Premier White Chips
1 bag (10-1/2-oz.) miniature marshmallows

The Rosebud
~Rose Moss~

Fairest flower, lovely rose
Queen of a Summer’s Day:
Velvet petals, crimson hued,
Such beauty takes my breath away.

I pluck the rosebud, grasp it tight,
Then cry aloud in pain.
The thorns are sharp, their bite is keen,
I fling it down again.

Then I muse, such too is life,
Where joy and pain combine:
Sun and shadow, side by side,
As light and dark entwine.

I cannot throw the bud away,
Although it caused me pain.
This time I’ll hold it tenderly
And take it up again.

I’ll cherish my sweet rosebud more
For showing me today:
Life can be harsh or can be sweet
So grasp it while you may.

Amy that is beautiful

I've searched and have come to the conclusion that you posted the only mortician joke that would get past the net nanny. :)

I love challenges.

Matt was shot dead by one of his buddies while hunting. His wife, Doreen, was taking care of the funeral arrangements with the undertaker when she was asked how she wanted Matt's obituary to read.

Doreen asked the undertaker, "How much does an obituary cost?"

The undertaker replied, "One dollar per word."

Doreen thought for a minute and said, I want the obituary to read – “Matt’s Dead.” The undertaker was an old hunting buddy of Matt's and he was a little disturbed by such a curt obituary, so he offered, "I'll make you a special deal since I knew Matt so well. I'll pay for half of the obituary out of my own pocket."

Doreen's face lit up and she replied, Great, in that case, I want it to read – “Matt‘s Dead, Hunting Gear For Sale."

[JustAmy]

LOL

I love that. Now how did you find it or did you just write your own joke?

:)

[JustAmy]

Snugs, thank you.

I'm still only working with borders and backgrounds.

While looking for a poem, I remembered that I had saved a rose border. Sometimes you get lucky. :)

[OESY]

Only posted it myself. Are you married to a hunter?

Kinda reminds me of the guy who bought a new leather hunting outfit for his wife's birthday.

[JustAmy]

The husband dies. He had $75,000 to his name.

After everything is done at the funeral home and cemetery, the widow
tells her closest friend that there is none of the $75,000 left.
The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500. And of course I made a
donation to the church...that was $500, and I spent another $500 for the
wake, food and drinks, you know. . The rest went for the memorial stone."

The friend says, "$52,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big is it?"

The widow says, "Four carats."

[JustAmy]

NO .... my hubby is a golfer.

My brother is a hunter. His house if full of his trophies. No wonder his wife left him. :)

I think it is better to have a golf club leaning against the wall than a bear on the floor. Or a wild boar staring at you from across the room. *grin*

[Darksheare]

LOL, memorial stone that is four carats..

[OESY]

Three buddies were talking about death and dying.

One asked, "When you're in your casket and friends and family are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you?"

The first guy says, "I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time and a great family man."

The second man says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow."

The third guy says, "I would like to hear them say, 'LOOK, HE'S MOVING!!!'"

[DollyCali]

okay, your humor is cracking me up.. love it!!! and yes, I think the memorial "stone" was quite approprite...

:-)

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Dolly.

According to Tulip, today is Morticians Day. Did you notice she has been missing all day?

I think she is enjoying watching us struggle for something appropriate to post. :)

Hi, snugs - I agree with you - it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I think Amy must have put *bordered backgrounds* in her google web search. :) (Do you know how she's doing this? It really is a pretty, and sort of easy way to get a beautiful border on both sides with not so many tables!)

[DollyCali]

I have several "good ones" somewhere but right now the comuter where most of them would be is "sick".. well, as a result of my improving it. Murphy helped me yesterday & today to NOT install the 4 port usb2 port; the slave CD write & a scanner. Right now we are alimping along...

Just a note that one of the newer morticians in our area (well we only have 2) has all very large original Thomas Kinkade oils in the facility. The artist of light...

[JustAmy]

The mortician is adding more coal to the furnace. :)
