Another funny from Auntie M... Abbott and Costello

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and not too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this.

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT


ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

Attention...

In today’s post I’m going to examine the causes, effects and magnitude of the shocking rise in the prevalence of adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD or ADHD).
You wouldn’t believe how sunny it is now. I’m going out for a jog. Or learn to skydive. Oops. It’s clouding over. Maybe I’ll just stay in and surf the Web.

Just one of those nights...

Just one of those nights where sleep just isn't gonna happen when I lay down. First I laid there and remembered I forgot to take my medications. The one thing one doesn't want to forget to take is one's antidepressants. More than likely this is why I am not asleep as both of them have relaxants in them. When I got out of bed to take them, Baxter stretched out on all of my side of the bed, so I decided to come catch up on some of my blogs I read daily.

Browsing News Headlines, I came across one I won't soon forget...." Owner Shared Bed and Took Baths With Chimpanzee From Connecticut Attack". I am just not going to comment on that one !!

A few life lessons.....

1- Even if it's only a Christmas card - never lose contact with old friends.

10-Do your very best at any job you're given to do - no matter how menial.
11-Laugh at yourself.

13-It's ok if he doesn't change poopy diapers as long as he cleans up "dead critters.'
14-A smile goes along way.
15-There is no magic face cream.

Baxter and Bread......

Don't let this laid back attitude fool anyone...Last night I accidentally left a whole loaf of bread out on the dining room table...It was gone this morning. Nothing left but the plastic bag...How he gets a whole loaf of bread out of that bag without tearing or ripping it is beyond me....LOL We call him Houdini Baxter...LOL

Dog Training..

Obviously you need to get it from the door mat to the DVD player for it to be effective...

Hundreds attend global warming protest....

My Auntie M sent this too me and I wanted to share it with ya'll...LOL

Kissed by a Wild Alaskan Moose !!!!

You folks who live in the “boonies” should be able to relate to this. The fellow in the picture is standing on his back deck which is about two feet off of the ground. He is about six one and 250 lbs; so she is a fair sized critter.

World's Smallest Car....

The world's smallest car, the Peel 50, nestled between vans in central London on Thursday. The vehicle, built in the 1960s, is going on display at Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in the capital.
