 Friends         | Spreading smiles and a little happiness is my forte'. If you need a buddy, well here I am. Have Skype, Messenger and also can phone anywhere in the world free on my land line. I write short stories and poetry and will always help out if you need a special poem.Feel free to check out my blogs. I no longer make necklaces, due to neuropathy, from Semi precious Gemstones and beads, but now make Bolo ties. I love my garden and you are welcome to take a walk around my pictures any time and share. I also love to cook and entertain so any recipes you want to share would be greatly appreciated.  CatcherAl: My most sincere apologies for neglecting my wonderful friends here on wire. I am still really poorly and the Doctors still can't find out why. My right hand and arm are constantly jumping so writing or even holding a book to read is a chore. I have had to give up my wood turning as after trying a couple of times and the chisels digging into the wood and causing the piece to fly off the lathe and hit me. My nausea is none stop and I have lost over 32lbs since Christmas. Despite MRI and Cat scans plus Xrays and blood tests with no diagnosis as yet. On a lighter note I just wanted to share another of my most favorite songs with you. It's by Josh Turner, again one of my favorite singers, this one in particular speaks to my heart and soul as if I had written the lyrics myself. I hope you enjoy t as much as do. Bless you all and wishing you a Happy Easter. With my love..................     CatcherAl: Hi Poppet, Thanks so much for asking but sadly I am not too great right now. I have felt ill since the 28th of Dec with extreme nausea preventing me from eating properly. I have lost 36lbs since then and have had all sorts of scans and investigations. I am due to have an endoscopy procedure on Wed at 08.45 when I hope they may find an answer. In addition I have developed a severe tremor in my right hand and arm, so bad that I have had to give up my wood turning and have lost the fine motor skills required to do the everyday tasks. I have not been online much as I love to spread happiness and love rather than bemoaning my fate. I don't want sympathy just love and understanding, if that makes sense? I apologize for neglecting you and my other good friends here on wire, I just hope you understand. I love and treasure your friendship so very much. Please feel free to post a note on my behalf putting folks in the picture and sending my apologies and I hope and pray for their understanding. I hope you are well and am sending you and your family my continued love and know you are cherished beyond measure. Bless you...................fondest regards Alan xxx  justme0123 in reply to CatcherAl: sending love and peace to you my dear friend, you have been a wonderful friend to me and the kids, we are always thankful. CatcherAl: Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, both could Barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself “I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light.” After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and The light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, “Mildred, do you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!” Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh Cr@@@@p, Am I Driving?”  CatcherAl: A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee… “What’s the matter, dear?”, she whispers as she steps into the room. The husband looks up from his coffee, “I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. Do you remember back then?”, he says solemnly. The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive. “Yes, I do”, she replies. The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily. “Do you remember when your father caught us in my car?” ‘Yes, I remember”, says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him. The husband continues. “Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, “Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?”” ‘I remember that also”, she replies softly. He wipes another tear from his cheek and says… “I would have been released today if only I took the right decision!  CatcherAl: The donkey said to the tiger, ‘The grass is blue.’ Tiger said, ‘No grass is green.’ Then the discussion between the two became intense. Both of them are firm in their own words. To end this controversy, both went to Lion – King of Jungle. In the middle of the animal kingdom, sitting on the throne was a lion. The donkey started yelling before the tiger could say anything. “Your Highness, the grass is blue, isn’t it?” Lion said, ‘Yes! The grass is blue. ‘ Donkey, ‘This tiger does not believe. Annoys me He should be punished properly. ‘ The king declared, ‘Tiger will be jailed for a year. King’s verdict was heard by the donkey and he was jumping for joy in the entire jungle. The tiger was sentenced to one year in jail. ‘ The Tiger went to the Lion and asked, ‘Why Your Highness! The grass is green, isn’t it? ‘ Lion said, ‘Yes! The grass is green.’ Tiger said, ‘… then why am I sentenced to jail? ‘ Lion said, “you did not get punished for the grass being blue Or green. You have been punished for debating with that stupid donkey. Brave and intelligent creatures like you have argued with a donkey and have come here to get a decision” CatcherAl: One hot February day we found an old straggly cat at our door. She was a sorry sight. Starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny and hair all matted down. We felt sorry for her and put her in a carrier and took her to the vet. She had no name so we named her Pu..ycat. The vet decided to keep her for a day or so and said he would let us know when we could come and get her. My husband, [the complainer] said, “OK, but don’t forget to wash her, she stinks.” My husband and my vet don’t like each other. He calls my husband El-cheap-O. My husband calls him El-Take-0. They love to hate each other. Next day my husband had an appointment with his doctor, which was located next door to the vet. The doctor’s office was full of people waiting to see the doctor. A side door opened and in leaned the vet; he had obviously seen my husband arrive. He looked straight at my husband, “Your wife’s pu..y is finally clean. She now smells like a rose. And by the way, I think she’s pregnant. God knows who the father is!” And he closed the door. CatcherAl: Three animals were having a drink in a cafe when the owner asked for the money. “I’m not paying,” said the duck. “I’ve only got one bill and I’m not breaking it.” “I’ve spent my last buck,” said the deer. “Then the duck has to pay,” said the skunk. “Getting here cost me my last scent.” CatcherAl: Little Johnny went with his mother for the first time to deliver lunches to the elderly. Little Johnny kept starring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. He said, very softly, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!" CatcherAl: Little James is at a horse auction with his father. He watches as his father moves from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse’s legs, backside. After a few minutes, little James asks, “Dad, why are you doing that?” Nodding, his father replies, “Because when I’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I make a decision.” Little James looks worried. Finally, he says, “Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.” CatcherAl: "Dad, who built the Suez Canal?" "I don't know, son." "Dad, who discovered penicillin?" "I've no idea, son." "Dad, what's the capital of Italy?" "I ain't got a clue, son." "Dad, you don't mind me asking all these questions do you?" "Of course not, son. If you don't ask, you won't learn anything." CatcherAl: The 6th grade school teacher asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Little Johnny says: “I wanna become a billionaire , going to the most expensive clubs, will find me the finest whore, give her a Ferrari worth over a million bucks, an apartment in Miami, a mansion in Paris, a jet to travel all over Europe, an Infinite Visa Card, and all the while banging her like a loose screen door in a hurricane.” The teacher, shocked and not knowing what to do with this horrible response from little Johnny, decides not to acknowledge what he said and simply tries to continue with the lesson. “And how about you, Sarah?” “I wanna be Johnny’s Wife!!” CatcherAl: One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, The pastor of a small Florida church found a pink envelope containing $1000.? It happened again the next week.? The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw a little old lady put the distinctive pink envelope in the plate.? This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her. “Ma’am, I couldn’t help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate,” he stated. “Why yes,” she replied, “every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church.” The pastor replied, “That’s wonderful, how much does he send you?” The old lady said, “$10,000 a week.” The pastor was amazed. “Your son is very successful. What does he do for a living?” “He is a veterinarian,” she answered. “That is an honourable profession,” the pastor said. “Where does he practice?” The old lady said proudly, “In Nevada….He has two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno.” CatcherAl: So, a rich tycoon and his wife are having New Year’s dinner at a very exclusive restaurant, when an absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, then says she’ll see him later and walks away: The wife glares at her husband and says. “Who in the hell was that?” “Oh.” Replies the husband. “She’s my mistress.” “Well, that’s the last straw.” Says the wife. “I’ve had enough. I want a divorce!” “I can understand that.” Replies her husband. “But remember, I have all my money ring-fenced in a way you can’t access it along with our pre-nuptial agreement. So, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Jaguar in the garage and no more yacht club.” He continues…… “Not only that, but no more diamonds, no more credit cards, and large bank account. But?” He says. “The decision is all yours.” Just then, a mutual friend of theirs enters the restaurant with a gorgeous woman on his arm. “Who’s that woman with Bobby?” Asks the wife. “That’s his mistress.” Says the husband. “Oh, ours is much prettier.” She replies… CatcherAl: A mother mouse and a baby mouse are walking along when, all of a sudden, a cat attacks them. The mother mouse says, “BARK!!” and the cat runs away. The mother mouse then says to her baby, “See how important it is for you to learn a foreign language?” View all 5 posts CatcherAl in reply to Finger5: Me too buddy lol. They can't even spell in color which should be colour. I think it's because they think more of ME than U. CatcherAl: Thought I would share my Christmas present to myself, an antique oil lamp and also my homemade Christmas cake. The lamp is because of my love of what some may say is "old fashioned", from a time when good manners and a gentler way of living was the norm, gentlemen were just that and ladies were ladies. Silly perhaps? But that's me. Happy Christmas and my love to you all.

Half an hour into the film, the man felt a nudge in his elbow. “What an outrage,” his wife murmured to him. “The person sitting in front of us is sleeping!” the woman said, clearly offended. Her husband was fairly annoyed. He replied: “You woke me up to tell me that? CatcherAl: The woodland animals decide to open a public restroom. They all participate as best they can to build it, and Owl, the mayor of the woods gives it to the public. The next day as Owl is taking a stroll, he notices that one of the windows is smashed. He calls an urgent meeting where all the animals gather together. I am sorry for this bothersome affair – the Owl says – but I’m afraid the public restroom’s window has been smashed by an unknown individual! Anyone, who’s responsible for or witnessed this act, please step forward. Amid silence, the Rabbit stands up and apologises. Well, it just happened to be, that Bear was in the stall next to me, and he ran out of toilet paper. So instead he grabbed me, wiped his bottom with my fur and threw me out the window. Because Bear wasn’t in the meeting, and he was the biggest baddest animal around, no one bothered to scold him, and the mayor just asked Rabbit to be more careful next time. Immediately some volunteers stepped forward to fix the window, and by afternoon it was good as new. On the second day, the mayor goes for his daily stroll and sees the window smashed again. He calls another meeting and asks the culprit to step forward. The Otter stood up. Well, it just happened to be, that Bear was in the stall next to me, he ran out of toilet paper, wiped his bum with my fur and threw me out the window. The window was fixed again, and that was the end of it. On the third day, the mayor sees that the window is not smashed this time, instead, a whole section of the wall fell down. He calls the meeting, asks if anyone knows about anything. The Hedgehog stood up. Well, it just happened to be, that Bear was in the stall next to me… |
