Funny

The Mary Tyler Moore show had an episode where she was moving. The landlord was showing her the apartment. He told her he took a nap between 2 and 3. He didn't want to be waken unless it was an emergency. Mary asked,  "What do you consider an emergency?" "Do you remember Pearl Harbor?" he said. Mary replied that she did. "That came close."

Argument Ender

How's this for an argument ender? Let's say your son, Sam, wants to go to a party and you won't let him. He says "You let Johnny go to a party".  You could say that Johnny went to a supervised kiddie party that had cake and ice cream. Fifteen year old Sam wants to go to a frat party that will have kegs of beer and pots of marijuana. You know Sam will keep coming up with more arguments to change your mind before handing you the world's worst parent award and leave you with a headache. So, the next time Sam does this you can say, "How does that change what I just said." It will end the argument, save you from a headache and you get your award much sooner. At least it's worth a try.

Villains That Never Die

There are villains that never get their just reward for all their evil deeds. I'm talking about t. v. villians that last for the run of the show. Sometimes they appear to die, but suddenly they're back. Sometimes the heroes have a great plan to bring to end the villian's plots forever. It fails. Sometimes the heroes have evidence that will put the villain behind bars for the rest of his life. He finds a way out. Although the heroes can stop his plans, one at a time, this villian will always be there to trouble our heroes. I think some politicians are t. v. villians in real life. Good day.

Independent

A friend of mine once told someone she owed them an apology. When they asked why she said it was none of their business. She was born on the Fouth Of July which is appropriate. She was an independent woman. She played by her rules. That's America. We play by our rules. We can go it on our own, if we have to. We don't need anyone's permission to be great. Happy Indepence Day!

Honeypot

Sometime ago I watched a movie called "Honeypot."  In it Rex Harrison played a wealthy man who was about to die. He asked his ex-wife to return the hour glass filled with gold dust she got in her settlement. She asked why. He said he was going to fill bons bons with the gold dust and eat them. That way, when he died, he could take it with him. Sadly, the ex-wife had already sold the gold dust. I was thinking the old saying, you can't take it with you, is too true. Even if he were able to eat gold dust filled bons bons they would have passed through him before he passed on. Rest in peace.

Life Is Hard

I was going to say, life is hard, move on. I changed my mind. Now I am going to say, life is hard. Go ahead and cry. Then laugh. Then sing.Then keep moving even if it is at a crawl. That is what you do for yourself. For others, you sympathize and cry with them. Then laugh and sing and help them keep moving even if it is at a crawl.Sometimes you are strong for yourself. Sometimes you are strong for others. Sometimes others are strong for you.
