Good morning everyone,
Saturday is upon us again and I am very glad. I do want to mention that we should all try and do something for those affected by Hurricane Irene. Can you imagine what something like this could do to your Saturday?
The coffee this morning is just right, even if I did make it myself. The cats have already exhausted themselves and are settling in as cats so often do....I think Josie is actually snoring.
This past week there was a VERY funny thing that happened inmy office. While I was talking to a vendor, on speakerphone, (while eating lunch at my desk) the vendor overheard others in my office. I explained to the vendor that it was Jackie and Phil, I told the vendor that Phil was "president of the Blind Veterans Association" (and he is). The vendor replied back..."Oh, you should see my duaghter...she's blonde too." The laughter could be heard a good distance down the hallway and now, Phil is reffered to as "President of the Blonde Veterans Association." I am sure there will be more to follow on this item.
Here's a chuckle to start your day...
Co-workers sympathized as my mother complained that her back was really sore from moving furniture.
"Why didn't you wait till your husband got home?" someone asked.
"I could have," my mother told the group," but the couch is easier to move if he's not on it."
Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #102
Good morning everyone,
Last night, we were in Parkersburg,WV for the Colt Ford concert. It was a blast. This was an outdoor concert and one of the highlights was when the train came down the tracks...right behind the stage. Even the lead singer was surprised...Could only happen in West Virginia.
Jackie and I are discussing whether we should go "crabbin'" while we are in South Carolina. The license is very inexpensive and the equipment is cheap also...sounds like it might be fun (and tasty).
This mornings cat races have come to a close and both of the little beasts are now laying down. I am not sure who the winner is.
Here's a chuckle to start your day...
Joe was in court charged with parking his car in a restricted area. The judge asked him if he had anything to say in his defense.
"They should not put up such misleading notices," said Joe.
"It said, FINE FOR PARKING HERE."
Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #101
Good morning everyone...
What a beautiful saturday morning. The weather is fantastic and the company and coffee are just great.
The vacation debate is finished...and the winner is...Garden City, SC. The hotel reservations are made. I can't tell you the dates we will be gone (for obvious reasons) but, there will be pictures on facebook when we return. I am so looking forward to some pier fishing (AKA Beer Drinking) and going out on the ocean for a day.
I realize this is very short, but I think I am just going to refill the coffee and sit outside for a short while...before the day starts.
Here's a chuckle to start your day...
An airliner was having engine trouble, and the pilot instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their seats and get prepared for an emergency landing.
A few minutes later, the pilot asked the flight attendants if everyone was buckled in and ready.
"All set back here, Captain," came the reply, "except the lawyers are still going around passing out business cards."

Saturday Morning Reflection #100
Good morning everyone...
Today seems to be a rainy saturday. Sounds like a winner to me after all of the heat.
Lots of discussion going on about the next vacation. Garden City seems to be the winner so far. I like the idea also. Looking forward to coffee on the balcony,with Jackie, and the waves crashing down just a few feet away.
The house is very quiet...Jackie is asleep, Maggie is asleep, and Yoda is asleep. The cats aren't even stirring. The quiet of the morning allows me to reflect upon things. Although I look forward to retirement...I only have 209 paydays left. Kinda scary. I know that fish all over the continent have this marked on their calendars.
Here's a chuckle to start you day...
An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics.
The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist."
Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. One member of the class however, was up and finished in less than a minute.
Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all. His answer consisted of two words: "What chair?"

Saturday Morning Reflection #99
Good morning everyone,
The past week has been FANTASTIC. We were on VACATION. I won't bore you with all of the details, but let me say that if you ever get the chance eat dinner at The Hofbrau Haus
As we all grow a little older, I realize that I am coming up on the end of vacations with my little girl. Kinda sad, yet it is to be expected.
The next step is to start planning septembers vacation. Jackie and I have the list narrowed down to Gatlinburg, Morehead City,Garden City, and somewhere on Lake Erie. NO KIDS.
Here's a chuckle to start your day...
There were two men shipwrecked on this island. The minute they got on to the island one of them started screaming and yelling, "We're going to die! We're going to die! There's no food! No water! We're going to die!"
The second man was propped up against a palm tree and acting so calmly it drove the first man crazy. "Don't you understand?!? We're going to die!!"
The second man replied, "You don't understand, I make $100,000 a week."
The first man looked at him quite dumbfounded and asked, "What difference does that make?!? We're on an island with no food and no water! We're going to DIE!!!"
The second man answered, "You just don't get it. I make $100,000 a week and I tithe ten percent on that $100,000 a week. My pastor will find me!"

Saturday Morning Reflection #98
Good morning everyone...
Saturday again. Coffee is beginning to work on me and I am waking up. The heat is way to high to do anything, but I suppose I will have to, sooner or later. Have I mentioned that I am not working Monday. Kenny and I are planning some fishing...for those of you not fluent in my language, that translates to "men consuming beer."
Dinner for this evening is already in the fridge. A very nice sirloin. Probably warmed on the grill, along with freshly picked corn and green beans. I also imagine there will be some grilled sqash. yummy.
Everyone, please be careful in this heat...stay hydrated. Krogers has a mark down on Bud Ice so there is no excuse for being dehydrated.
Here's a chuckle to start your day..
It was last Wednesday night, and I was sitting in my room watching television when the phone rang. "Hello?" I said. A girl's voice came over the line. "Can I speak to Ben, please?" I live by myself, and my name definitely is not Ben. It was probably a wrong number and I was bored. I replied, "I'm sorry, he's not in right now. Can I take a message?"
"Do you know what time he'll be back?" she responded.
"I think he said he'd be home around 10:00."
Silence on the other end... a confused silence.
"Is this Steve?"
My name isn't Steve, either. This was definitely a wrong number.
So I replied, "Yes, it is. Do you want to leave a message for Ben?"
"Well... he said he would be home tonight and asked me to call him," she said in a slightly irritated voice.
I replied, "Well, he went out with Karen about an hour ago, and said that he would be back at 10:00."
A shocked voice now: "Who's Karen?!"
"The girl he went out with."
"I know that! I mean... who is she?"
"I don't know her last name. Look, do you want me to leave a message for Ben?"
"Yes... please do. Tell him to call me when he gets home."
She was sounding pretty irate at this point, and I could hear her temper flaring. "I sure will. Is this Jennifer?"
She exploded, "Who's Jennifer?"
Apparently she wasn't.
"Well... he's going out with Jennifer at 10:00. I thought you were her. Sorry... it was an honest mistake."
"Ben's the one that's made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called him and the she's very upset and that I would like him to call me as soon as he gets home."
I smiled and said, "Okay, I will... but Becky isn't going to like this..."

Saturday Morning Reflection #97
Good morning everyone...
Saturday is here again. Thank goodness. The work week has been long and drawn out. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my job, but it will wear a person out.
The Garden requires some work. There are bunches of cucumbers and green beans that need to be picked. I look forward to getting that done.
Sitting here this morning it looks like rain outside...should be good for the gardens and make all of the lawn care companies happy.
Here's a chuckle to start your day....
An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.
The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring and showed it to him. The old man said, "I don't think you understand, I want something very special."
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over.
"Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," the jeweler said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it."
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, by check. " I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon," he said.
Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account."
"I know", said the old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I had?"
