Half Nekkid Thursday,,,,,button less


This shot is a lazy shot....I was to tired to sit up and take the picture of Plum Island. I mentioned it yesterday and thought you could see it from the picture I posted but I was wrong. I was thinking last night and the one thing I missed with going camping this year,,,,no full moon. For as long as I could remember every year camping we had a full moon. Have to check the calendar for next year and plan around that. Even though I don't yet have a half nekkid Thursday hnt button. I tried to copy/paste it but I think this weekend I will change my whole template and put it on then. Well {J} is feeling a little better,,,we went and took the small boat out for I bit. I forgot my suit and thought I would just go swimming any way,,,,,but he let me drive the boat and me being the baby I can be was afraid to bring it near the island so I turned it around and headed back in,,,,as I was pretended to faint so he could just take over the wheel and drive. So after 1/2 hour at going .5 miles per hr. He took over and we went and feed the ducks,,,,and after all that I feel I need to go out and buy my self something. My left hand has been itching all morning,,,,I think I am going to win the lottery,,,Yippy I cant wait,,,,now it's off to the store...Happy Trails!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!A good looking young man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and said "I want to be a movie star." Tall, handsome and with some experience on Broadway, he had the right credentials. The agent asked, "What's your name?"The guy said, "My name is Penis vanLesbian."The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tellyou, but in order to get intoHollywood, you are going to have tochange your name.""I will NOT change my name! The VanLesbian name is centuries old, I will not disrespect my grandfather bychanging my name. Not Ever."The agent said, "Sir, I have worked inHollywood for years...you will NEVER go far in Hollywood witha name like Penis van Lesbian! I'm telling you, you willHAVE TO change your name or I will not be able to represent you.""So be it! I guess we will not dobusiness together" the guy said and he left the agent's office.FIVE YEARS LATER.....The agent opens an envelope sent to hisoffice.Inside the envelope is a letter and acheque for $50,000.The! agent is awestruck, who wouldpossibly send him $50,000? he reads the letter enclosed..."Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came intoyour office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood, you told me Ineeded to change my name. Determined to make it with my God-givenbirth name, I refused.You told me I would never make it inHollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian. After I left youroffice, I thought about what you said. I decided you were right. I had to change myname.I had too much pride to return to youroffice, so I signed with another agent.I would never have made it withoutchanging my name, so the enclosed cheque is a token of my appreciation. Thank you for your advice. Sincerely, Dick van Dyke @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Subject: Diet Story
I have 2 Labrador Retrievers & I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street licking my balls and a car hit me.
I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.

Aday or so in the life of me


Yes I do believe this is the last picture from vacation. The rest are a bit to risky to publish. This is one of the walks to the beach from the parking lot. There are 3 large parking lots,,,and 2 have walks like this. When I awoke this am it felt like a fall morning. The air was crisp. Every one is talking about how nice the weather is,,,I liked it when it was in the 90's. Even lower 80's are fine with me. Last night it was a bit nippy in my neck of the woods....It went down to 50's outside,,,I set the heat on 60 in the house but it never did click on. Now I am thinking of walking on this walk,,,,It is so pretty when you get up to and under the gazebo part,,,you look out and all you see is ocean. There are benches there for sitting a nice spot to meditate and appreciate all the beauty around you. But I am not there now,,,this am I awoke to dressing in layers again for doing the mail,,,shorts and tang top and sweater. I stopped at the local Sterwarts shop and a guy came in riding a bike,,,looking for gloves. Dam this is suppose to be August. Just seemed unreal to me. At work we all got breakfast,,,I phoned in the order,,,,I wanted my eggs on whole wheat bread untoasted. The same way I have been getting them for like the last 100 times,,,,It came back on burnt toast,,,,I was ticked and called them and told them. I had to hurry up the day and try to get done and home by 5pm,,,,,{J} and I were meeting his brother and sister in law for supper. We were going out on the big boat and heading to that great place in Coxsockie,,,,was a nice evening on the river. They have never seen any Eagles before and we saw 4 of them so that was cool. We got up to the resteraunt and noticed another couple from our club there. I swear the other couple,,,his wife is anorexic,,,,she looked so freaking bonny,,,unhealthy so. She went to the bathroom and I asked him what they had and if it was good,,,,he said he just got a burger and her just a salad,,,,I wanted to tell him,,,to give her more food. Next function or social gathering I see her I really need to talk with her,,,perhaps I can help..Who knows. I think she is 5 Ft 5 and weighs 75lbs,,,I ordered calamiri,,,,and a nice juicy T-Bone,,,was looking forward to that,,,,but as typical as my day went a strip steak on a roll covered with onion rings and a plate of fries came out for me,,,,totally not what I ordered......The waitress was very sorry and said she will correct it,,,but every one had their food and I said Never mind....I took the meat off the bread,,,,gave {J} the French fries and onion things in exchange for his al' donte veggies. My meal was ok,,,,1 star.....Every one else's looked great,,,,ribs and chicken dishes,,,,but the good news was I only had to leave the tip,,,{J} brother picked up the check. It really was a nice evening and had a grat boat ride. On the morrow going to take Mom to a chicken/clam bake. His Mom and Aunt will be there and lots of cousins and family so it will be another nice outing. After that when I get home fixing my blog and adjusting my template,,,so the things on my side bar might actually be on the side and not on the bottom,,,think I should get Jonathan over to help me,,,,the guru of a 14 year old might work better me at it......Happy Trails!!!! Math 1950-2006 Last week I purchased a sandwich for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s: 1. Teaching Math In 1950 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit? 2. Teaching Math In 1960 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Math In 1970 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit? 4. Teaching Math In 1980 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Math In 1990 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.) 6.

Take me back to the sea


This is a cool shot it was taking sorta early one morning while I was walking the beach from Merrimack River to the beach by the ocean. At Salisberry State Park. I think that is one of the reasons I love it there,,,one beach flows into the next. Across the river is Plum Island. Counting the days till I go back,,,A little over a month,,I can't wait. I started this blog at work this morning but couldn't finish it because the photo got lost into cyber space. It wasn't deleated by me just freakin lost some where. Since I got back to work I told one of the girls that helps out under no reason should you ever cut my patients hair. She totally screwed it up. She cut it so short and had it packed with hairspray,,,again never put that much in my pt. hair. I know she ment well but she should just continue to screw up her own head and no one elses. Her hair is super long in the lower back,,,her top is like 1/2 in of hair and I swear she uses a can of hair spray on it. You touch it and nothing moves. I think she combes it once a week. My hair is soft and silky,,,can't imagine ruining it like that.I think another friend of mine at the post office is a little upset at me for not covering for her on the morrow so she can go to water country. I think she was going with JeaniaJeania who now is her best friend,,,she said no she was going with another friend,,,not that it matters but I don't believe her. I after my 3 hour work am going hopefully on the river boating all afternoon till 5pm,,when I gotta get back to work. I say that hopefully only because {J} is illin. He didnt even leave the house today,,,I had to move his truck and fetch him the paper,,,ugh he better get over it by the morrow. Life on the farm is good. Tomorrow will be the first apples coming off some trees and then they shall be packing till next year. My pt.'s son is a very hard working man. He and is wife finally took a break this weekend and went to Long Island,,,,I think they should try and take more and not work so hard. He laughed at me when I said my 2 week vacation was to short and I can't wait till the next one......Oh well such is life it should be one long vacation filled with lots of fun and we should all be born with a silver spoon to help it,,,,,Happy Trails!!!!!!!
Stubborn Traveler
A plane is on its way to Houston when a blonde in economy class gets up and moves to the first class section and sits down.
The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket.
She then tells the blonde that she paid for economy class and that she will have to sit in the back.
The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston and I'm staying right here."
The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and the co-pilot that there is a blonde sitting in first class that belongs in economy and won't move back to her seat.
The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for economy, she will have to leave and return to her seat.
The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston and I'm staying right here."
The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this woman who won't listen to reason.
The pilot says, "You say she is blonde? I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde."
He goes back to the blonde and whispers in her ear and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry" and gets up and goes back to her seat in economy.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to make her move without any fuss.
I told her, "First class isn't going to Houston."

####################################################################Your Paw has a job. It's the first one he had in forty-eight years since wehavDear Son:e been married. We are a little better off now, because we have so muchmoney now we don't know what to do with it. Paw gets $47.15 every Thursday,so we thought we ought to do something about fixing up the house. We sent toSears & Roebuck for one of those bathrooms you hear people having in houses.It took a plumber to put it in shape.On one side of the bathroom is a great long thing something like a pigtrough, only you get in it and wash all over. Over on the other side is alittle white thing they call a sink where you wash your face and hands. Butover in the corner we really got something. This thing, you put one foot in,wash it clean, then you pull the chain & get fresh water for the other foot.Two lids come with the thing. We got no use for them in the bathroom so I'musing one for the bread board. The other lid has a hole in it so we use itfor a frame for grandfather's picture.Sears & Roebuck are real nice people to deal with. They sent us a roll ofpaper with the outfit. We can't write on it very well, so I'm using it towrap Paw's lunch. Take care of yourself.Maw

More adventures from the trip.


These 2 pictures are pretty famous in there own way. The first is Ipswich noteworthy reserant the clam shack. We have driven past it many times ans usually there is a line out the door to the road. We got lucky that day,,itwas just 11;45 am and we decided to try it. I had the fried oysters,,,{J} the scallops,,,Bobby the seafood platter,,,RJ the fried shrimp,,,and Johnathon the clam chowder,,,,,All were exellent.Katie tried the crab roll and was very diapointed,,,,I had a bite of hers and agreed. They used mostly imatation crab,,,polock. That was the only disapointment. Expecially since the boast on freshness and if it is not fresh theydo with out. You can check out articles at Boston dinning...AOL city guide/ or American Best eats @ Epicurious.com or Phantom Gourmet online dining comunity. Every one raves about how great it is.....I know we will be going back there next month. The other picture is of the Ice company that supplied the ice tothe tuna boats Andrea Gail that was lost to the "Perfect Storm" On Halloween back in 1991. It was a exellent movie. The boat that they used in the movie for the longest time was in Glouster. But this year when we went back I learned it was sold and moved and later had a fire on it. The name if I can recall was Lady Grace. Glouster in its self is loaded with so much history,,,,I could stay there and watch the boats all day. Well again reality bites and I am back to doing that working thing. So going make the best of it. I am so far behind on my paperwork. Gotta get the girls hours in or no pay,,they are kinda funny about not getting paid. Pretty soon we can pay them in apples....early picking begins soon.....Happy Trails!!!!!>>> ^^^^^^^^^^ A rugged cowboy from Brokeback Mountain, Wyoming, goes into the>>> > doctor's office and has some tests run.>>> >>>> > The doctor comes back and says, "I am not going to beat around the>>> > bush, You have AIDS.">>> >>>> > The cowboy tugs at his Stetson and sets his jaw and says, "Doc,>>> > what can I do?">>> >>>> > The doctor says, "I want you to go home and eat 5 pounds of spicy>>> > sausage, a head of cabbage, 20 un-peeled carrots drenched in hot >>> > sauce,>>>10>>>>>> > Jalapeno peppers, 40 walnuts and 40 peanuts, 1/2 box of Grapenuts>>>cereal,>>>and>>> > top it off with a gallon of prune juice.">>> >>>> > The cowboy squares his rugged shoulders and asks, "Will that cure>>> > me, Doc?">>> >>>> > "No, but it should leave you with a better understanding of what>>> > your ass is for.">>> >>>>>>############################## We ' re Off to See the Wizard!>>>> Four United States Presidents get caught up in a tornado ...>> and off they whirled to the land of OZ.>>>>>>>> They finally made it to the Emerald City and went to find the Great >> Wizard.>>>>>>>> " What brings the 4 of you before the great Wizard of Oz?

Another adventure from camping


One day trip on holiday we all ventured over to "Plum Island",,,located east by "Newbury Port". We decided to all take our bikes and poles,,,the guys,,{J} and Bobby were going fishing----Katie and I and my 2 nephews would be wandering the beach and biking. We went to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge,,,4,662 acres of sandy beaches...Impoundments,,and tidal marshes. It is one of the top bird watching sites in the USA. It has 7 separate beaches,,,only 1-6 & 7 were open for people. The others were closed due to birds,,,nesting. We proceeded down to beach #7,,,it was full,,{8 cars top,,,no extra parking},,,so back to beach # 6 we went. Ahha lucky for us 3 spots left to park,,,and we had 2 cars. Soon as we pulled in our blazers attracted hundreds of Green Heads!!!Ugh--They are these vampire Large flies with ..{you Guessed it} Green Heads,,,,Flies that bite and aim to kill. We were protected with our Skin So Soft on by Avon,,,the only thing that works...We then thou decided biking was out. They had a nice wooden bridge trail down to the beach,,,it was long about #3/4 of a mile,,,sorta like above the brush,,,,as we walked we heard something big,,critter type of animal run through the brush,,,I thought it was a wild bore,,,,It reminded me of something out of the show "Lost",,,very freaking scary. We finally made it to the beach,,,thanfull unharmed. The beach for the most part seemed very empty,,,the tide was low and you could walk way out and appreciate all the beauty around. Lots of sand pipers and sand swallows,,,,few seagulls but for the most part,,,sand pipers had the range. Along the beach I counted ^6 of these dead,,,not sure,,,perhaps sting ray's,,,if any one knows for sure,,let me know!! It's amazing how it resembles a face,,,,sorta like a mask you would wear for a MardeGra party or sorts. I wondered why I saw these here and not where we were camping,,,or along another beach down in Ipswich...Or any where else,,humm. My nephew found the first perfect sandollar,,,then my brother found one. Me my collection was,,a scallop shell that got smoothed due to the tides and a big perfect piece of beach glass. {J} found me a extremely perfect large clam shell that would make a great ashtray. Sorta reminded me of the antique mother of Pearl ashtray I had,,but broke when I threw it at him like 20 years ago. I thought to my self,,,,this one I shall not brake. It was a very nice day trip and shall put it on my list to do again. Well yesterday was my first day back to Reality,,,wich bites. I did the mail thingy witch was a very heavy day to say the least with 3 different box holders. I went out with 12 tubs of mail where as for a saturday I usually have 4 at the most. Got home after 5 and had to pack up and go to my homecare job. That was a piece of cake. My patient missed me so and was so pleasant to have me back. Left there at 11;30 this am,,,got home and sprused up a bit and headed out the door by 12;30 for a clam bake at the VFW in Styvesant falls. It was a great time. And under my plate was a thankyou for coming and a $10 gift certificate for a local store,,,Bonus for me.The food was great,,,we left at 4;30pm,,before the band so I could go play in the garden and {J} to watch his car racing red kneck crap that he watches. I can never understand the thrill of going around and around the track. I did pick #24 car,,,Jordon as my favorite,,,and only because [J] hates him. You can tell we are together to long when we look for pleasure in finding the things that annoy each other and keep doing it. Like the toilet seat issue. Constantly he leaves it up,,,even on vacation,,,,this is a new thing he has started to do,,,I think since I started like #24 ugh,,,Men,,they get younger and younger as they age.....Well now its off to HAPPY TRAILS!!!!!!
The Why's of Men
1. WHY DO MEN BECOME SMARTER DURING SEX?
(because they are plugged into a genius)
2. WHY DON'T WOMEN BLINK DURING SEX?
(they don't have enough time)
3. WHY DOES IT TAKE 1 MILLION SPERM TO FERTILIZE ONE EGG?
(they don't stop to ask directions)
4. WHY DO MEN SNORE WHEN THEY LIE ON THEIR BACKS?
(because their balls fall over their butt-hole and they vapor lock)
(You're laughing, aren't you?!?!)
5. WHY WERE MEN GIVEN LARGER BRAINS THAN DOGS?
(so they won't hump women's legs at cocktails parties)
6. WHY DID GOD MAKE MEN BEFORE WOMEN?
(you need a rough draft before you make a final copy)
7. HOW MANY MEN DOES IT TAKE TO PUT A TOILET SEAT DOWN?
(don't know.....it never happened)
( C'mon guys, we laugh at your blonde jokes!)
And my personal favorite:
8. WHY DID GOD PUT MEN ON EARTH?
(because a vibrator can't mow the lawn)
Remember, if you haven't got a smile on your face and
laughter in your heart......Then you are just an old sour fart.

Boat Trip



These next 20 blogs or so will picture,,,you got it----Pictures from the coast and vacation scenes. The weather for the most part was HOT,,,but that's how I like it. Perfect beach weather for me. Had the usual auguments with {J},,,Lower the freakin A/C. His concept of perfect camping is all the windows zipped up closed,,,curtains drawn shut. Me I like all the curtains opened and the windows. We have a pop-up,,,A pretty good sized one,,,with tons of windows. And we always have our site overlooking the water. So we are constintly bickering and unzipping & zipping windows. And me loving the warmth,,,hate it when the inside temp is 60 degrees in summer. . I had frost bite when I was a baby and almost lost both of my legs,,,,perhaps that has some thing to do with it who knows. Have to laugh thou- my brother who was camping also is like me,,,,and his wife is complaining about the heat....She said if Bobby see's a breeze, however slight it is off goes the A/C.,,,Yesterday thou we were all sitting on the beach and had our sandchairs partialy in the water when a big breeze came up and brought our temperture down like 30 degrees. From 90'2 to 68 degrees. What a drop. lucky for me and Bobby no A/C that night. Now back to the photo's. We went over to Newberry Port to catch the boat. Newberry is one of my favorite port towns. The boat left right on time and we headed out to sea for a hour and then stopped on a Island. The island was one of the isles of Shoals. If I recall right there are like 7 of them all together or near each other. The name of ours was Star Island. They have a hotel on there and a bunch of cottages. It is manely for retreats and seminars. Any one can go but you must attend the seminars. The day we were there a religious one was going on. The cottages are very rustic but cool. Rumor has it that some of Black Beard's treasure was found there. The one picture is of our boat we took. The other is a artists building. Were they can go to paint and get in the spirit of it. We had a naratted tour of the whole place and that was very informative. I would love to go spend a week there!!!,,,,At 5;30 they ring a big bell on the porch of the hotel and every one in the seminar heads in for dinner. We were on the porch at that time having a cig. { The only place you are allowed to smoke}...And I offered my nephew Johanothon $10 to follow them in and sit with them. He was came to making the bucks so he took the dare---I was watching closely incase some weirdo trade to steal him. He followed them in and walked with every one..about 100 or so people,,,,then he asked a waitress for a extra seat....she said they were all full. I gave him $5 for effort. The deal was go in and sit for 3 minutes,,,,He did good at beginning crashing it. {One of the movies we all watched together was """Wedding Crashers"",,,It was pretty good,,and gave us idea's :>},,,On the boat ride we got to see a Finback whale. It was 50 feet long and wide as a submarine. Was told that is the secound largest whale. Well enough for now I am tireddddd. Back to work on the morrow. My hair has gotton so light it looks like platium blonde,,,ugh need to darken it,,,,back to brunette......Happy Trails!!####### Senior Jokes!Nice to have something to look forward to! An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number ofyears. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted fora set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and thedoctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleasedthat you can hear again."

The two gentlemenwere talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly. The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the nameof that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that'sred and has thorns." "Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards thekitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to lastnight? <><><><><><><> Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients beingdischarged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman--already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase athis feet--who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel himto the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroomchanging out of her hospital gown." *************** Couple in their nineties are both having problems rememberingthings. During a checkups, the doctor tells them that they're physicallyokay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks. "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream ?" "Sure." "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it ?" she asks. "No, I can remember it." "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top,too. Maybe you should writeit down, so's not to forget it ?" He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." "I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, writeit down ?" she asks. Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can rememberit! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodnesssake !" Then he t oddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen andhands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment. "Where's my toast?"
