For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi, hi everyone!π» I back again with more fun funnies for friends, and that mean you! I a little late this week, me sorry for that, it my fault, kinda. It hot in here these days and I not able to go outside on balcony room anymore. Sniff, sniff. Cats next door come over here and fight me and they win, so now balcony room is their territory. That in the cat rule book. Whoever win fight gets territory.
I not young anymore and can’t fight younger cats and there is 3 of them. Oh well. My human tell me it still my territory cause he chase other cats away, so he win fight. Maybe he right, but I still scared to go out there. It cooler out there and I used to like going out there to have cat nap in afternoon. But, cooler weather has come back now so maybe it cool off in here.
My human go shopping yesterday and nothing funny happen again. At least, that what he tell me. Sometimes me not so sure. I tell him he need to try harder. He did do one thing that I thought was funny though. There big traffic jam in store aisle. 2 ladies block aisle by talking, lots of people backed up in three directions.
My human sort of know man in front of him, he have big booming type voice, just with normal talking. So my human come up with idea and he say to man, “a bit of a traffic jam today”, and man say, “yes, we do have a traffic jam.” Everyone hear his loud voice and 2 women move right away. My human very happy, his idea worked. That part is strange.πΉ Oh well, here is funnies for today…

TEN REASONS FARM TRUCKS ARE NEVER STOLEN
10. They have a range of about 20 miles before they overheat, breakdown or run out of gas.
9. Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out.
8. It is difficult to drive fast with all the fence tools, grease rags, ropes, chains, syringes, buckets, boots and loose papers in the cab.
7. It takes too long to start and the smoke coming up through the rusted-out floorboard clouds your vision.
6. The Border Collie on the toolbox looks mean.
5. They’re too easy to spot. The description might go something like this: The driver’s side door is red, the passenger side door is green, the right front fender is yellow, etc.
4. The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if you’re being chased. You could use the mirrors if they weren’t cracked and covered with duct tape.
3. Top speed is only about 45 mph.
2. Who wants a truck that needs a year’s worth of maintenance, u-joints, $3,000 in body work, tail-lights and windshield.
1. It is hard to commit a crime with everyone waving at you.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROOFING
~Β IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are one of hundreds of parachuting enthusiasts who bought our Easy Sky Diving book, please make the following correction:
on page 8, line 7, the words “state zip code” should have read “pull rip cord.”
~ It was incorrectly reported last Friday that today is T-shirt Appreciation Day. In fact, it is actually Teacher Appreciation Day.
~ There are two important corrections to the information in the update on our Deep Relaxation professional development program. First, the program will include meditation, not medication. Second, it is experiential, not experimental.
~ Our newspaper carried the notice last week that Mr. Oscar Hoffnagle is a defective on the police force. This was a typographical error. Mr.
Hoffnagle is, of course, a detective on the police farce.
~ Apology: I originally wrote, “Woodrow Wilson’s wife grazed sheep on front lawn of the White House.” I’m sorry that typesetting inadvertently left out the word “sheep.”
~ In one edition of today’s Food Section, an inaccurate number of jalapeno peppers was given for Jeanette Crowley’s Southwestern chicken salad recipe. The recipe should call for two, not 21, jalapeno peppers.

I wish people came with a 30-second trailer so I’d know what I was getting myself into.

This one came in before the other one, but the other showed that it should have been first. Strange. Not bad, keeping yourself busy! I will need to plant my leaf cuttings tomorrow, the roots are getting quite long now. I hope to get two plants from these cuttings, it is a very unique plant with wonderful leaves that don’t look real. I will plant two together in each pot. That will give me 3 plants if they all grow. This is a first for me with this type of plant, so I don’t know if it will work or not. We shall see!ππͺ΄

I’m back! Had to get my laundry ready for morning, then make supper, now I’m eating supper and writing the next chapter of my story. There are different ways of starting plants without seeds, leaf cuttings and stem cuttings. Leaf cuttings is a bit harder generally than stem cuttings, but it depends on what type of plant. The leaf cuttings I’m using this time are from a plant I have never grown before, so I don’t know how well it will turn out. But if I get one plant out of the 5 leaves I will be happy. I will be even happier if I get more than one plant! I should write a post about this, what do you think?π€πͺ΄

That is taking a long time, but there is 110,000 photos to sort, so it will take a while. I just do a little here and there. Gets overwhelming if I do too much all at once. I have to water plants today, maybe go and sit outside for a while. Have to print up the church bulletin too.
