Awe, you probably just looked more like you, Gummy. No need to shave just for us :)

I am feeling a bit better today but, still not really forum worthy. I hope that everyone had a good day.

TT, it has been storming and pouring here for 3 days now but, we won't complain either :)

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better salem. I sure do miss you around here.

We thought we'd get a little more rain this evening but it went to the west and south of us. Would have liked to have got it.

    Good night FranC. Have a good one!

    Hey kgj, let me know what you think of that coffee. We love the stuff!

    On that Vapor Junction Bingo Game they posted the first three numbers and I didn't have a single one of them on my Bingo Card.

    I was telling my wife about it and she said, "honey, we just don't win things. I don't know why."

    Oh, and Fuzzy Wuzzy Gummy kinda brings a squirrels tail to mind for some reason ....

    I've just grab a sandwich or something simple if I'm by myself because I didn't want to clean up the mess!!!

    I prefer a filet mignon, tossed salad with roquefort, baked potato with sour cream and cheddar and cheesecake for desert.
    A very nice red wine to chase it all down with.

    And then to have somebody else to clean up.

    I'd love to take credit for this, but got it in an email today and thought y'all woud enjoy it:



    Vet Caps and ......



    A few days ago my best friend from high school sent me a 'Viet Nam Veteran' cap. I never had one of these before, and I was pretty hyped about it, especially because my friend Ron was considerate enough to take the time to give it to me.



    Yesterday, I wore it when I went to Walmart. There was nothing in particular that I needed at the world's largest retailer, but, since I retired, trips to Wally World to look at the Walmartians is always good for some comic relief. Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of the people that frequent the establishment. But, I digress...enough of my psychological fixations.



    While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me, probably in his early thirties, asked, "Are you a Viet Nam Vet?"



    "No," I replied.



    "Then why are you wearing that cap?"



    "Because I couldn't find the one from the War of 1812." I thought it was a snappy retort.



    "The War of 1812, huh?" the Walmartian queried, "When was that?"



    God forgive me, but I couldn't pass up such an opportunity. "1936," I answered as straight-faced as possible.



    He pondered my response for a moment and responded, "Why do they call it the War of 1812 if it was in 1936?"



    "It was a Black Op. No one is supposed to know about it." This was beginning to be way fun!



    "Dude! Really?" he exclaimed. "How did you get to do something that COOOOL?"



    I glanced furtively around me for effect, leaned toward the guy and in a low voice said, "I'm not sure. I was the only Caucasian on the mission."



    "Dude," he was really getting excited about what he was hearing, "that is seriously awesome! But, didn't you kind of stand out?"



    "Not really. The other guys were wearing white camouflage."



    The ..... nodded knowingly.



    "Listen man," I said in a very serious tone, "You can't tell anyone about this. It's still 'top secret' and I shouldn't have said anything."



    "Oh yeah?" he gave me the 'don't threaten me look.' "Like, what's gonna happen if I do?"



    With a really hard look I said, "You have a family don't you? We wouldn't want anything to happen to them, would we?"

    The guy gulped, left his basket where it was and fled through the door. By this time the lady behind me was about to have a heart attack she was laughing so hard. I just grinned at her.



    After checking out and going to the parking lot I saw Dimwit leaning in a car window talking to a young woman. Upon catching sight of me he started pointing excitedly in my direction. Giving him another 'deadly' serious look, I made the 'I see you' gesture. He turned kind of pale, jumped in the car and sped out of the parking lot.

    What a great time!



    Tomorrow I'm going back with a Homeland Security cap.



    Whoever said retirement is boring, one just needs the right kind of cap!

    We're watching a program on television on the Travel Channel called Gem Hunt.

    They were showing a guy holding an aquamarine the size of two peoples heads.

    My wife said, "That's a BIG one!!"

    Then she said, "and look how blue it is."

    So I said, "Thank YOU!!"

    I think it was right about then that I saw that book flying toward my head but it was too late to duck.

    Boy, those books hurt.
