A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife
stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed, "Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please create a trade in our bodies." God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw out money to pay the power bill and telephone bill, drove to the power company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1 p.m. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on
the way home. Set out cookies and milk and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing greens for salad,
breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After
supper he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry,
bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 p.m. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love -- which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, "Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have
learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll have to wait 9 months, though. You got pregnant last night!"

The Coffee Shop / Injured Knee - Update.....
« on: July 24, 2013, 01:25:36 pm »
Update on left knee!
Went to the ortho Dr. this morning...seems to be healing and he wants watch it over the next two weeks. No brace, NO Ace wrap but take smaller steps, walk slowly and upright.
No twisting or turning on that leg...just let nature work & see what we have in 2 weeks...maybe arthroscopic surgery and maybe not.
Glad to get rid of that damned hot foam lined brace and to be able to bend enough to ride in the front seat again!

Back to scrolling tomorrow after my son helps me set the garage up for working.

The Coffee Shop / OUCH!!! Update-7/16....
« on: July 16, 2013, 06:13:02 pm »
Went to orthopedic Dr. this afternoon...either torn cartilage or torn ligament...have to wear brace and only place minimal weight on left leg and see how it reacts...go back next Wed. (24th) for further evaluation...not being able to have MRI due to cochlear implant makes diagnosis a bit more difficult....going to be a long week!
Darn brace goes from my crotch to my ankle so have to sit crossways in backseat to go anywhere in a car...doing all the lifting and walking, etc. with my right leg only is resulting in a real PITA!!!

The Coffee Shop / "OUCH"!!!!!!!!
« on: July 14, 2013, 10:54:01 pm »
Moving some plants on a brick patio today and went to turn to my right.
Body turned but shoe caught in edge of a brick. POP! went the left knee.....
After trip to ER I have ace bandage and 'imobilizer' unit on left leg and instructions to see orthopedic Dr. tomorrow. Most likely no ligament damage but cartilige (sp) is very likely badly torn. Sure hope he can do outpatient arthroscopically! Will keep you all posted.
Makes it damn difficult to get around!!!

The Press and Paula Deen - Soapbox 07/01/13

I think that if anything exemplifies the overt prejudice and determination of the American media to report only the news that suits their social and political interests and concept of what does and does not fit their agenda, it?s the totally overblown coverage of something Paula Deen said 20 years ago, and some party she planned that she wanted to resemble a plantation scene featuring black male waiters in period dress.

If Hollywood plans a movie featuring black waiters in a plantation scene or portray women as prostitutes or cast minorities in caricature roles does the media get upset and start calling the movie moguls racists?

Is there any grown person who could truthfully declare under oath that they have never uttered something that someone might find personally offensive?

?Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.?

Do the twenty-year-old words of a lady with a television cooking show trump the lie an Attorney General told Congress, or officials at the IRS usurping the rights of the American public and pleading the fifth amendment when confronted about it or the hiding of the facts surrounding the murder of four Americans at a Consulate in Libya or the incredibly shabby image of a president taking a one hundred million dollar vacation in this economy while closing down tours of the White House or the NSA invasion on the privacy of millions of unsuspecting citizens?

I think not, and yet these and other stories of the utmost importance were either ignored or given a back seat to the Paula Deen story which, when taken in context with the high level scandals, Putin's snubbing of an American president, the potentially explosive situations in so much of the world the story was certainly not newsworthy enough to be featured five nights in a row on network news.

Wouldn't a week-long investigation into the life of Lois Lerner, the things she's done and the reason she's pleading the fifth be more meaningful to the American people?

What about what's going on in Israel ? The media has been strangely quiet on that front lately, is there nothing worth reporting in that volatile part of the world?

How about the coming catastrophic tidal wave the effect of Obamacare is going to have on America , is there nothing worth questioning in the over 30,000 pages of regulations?

How about the fact that due to federal over regulation it's nearly impossible to live in the U.S. without breaking some law?

How about the Christian pastor who is being held in one of the worst hell hole prisons in the world in Iran for nothing more than sharing his faith?

How about a whole way of life that's being destroyed in West Virginia by the president's war on coal?

I think you get the picture.

No wonder the mainstream media has fallen so far in the trust of the American people.

Why is the Paula Deen story worth so much airtime if not to take attention off the truly important issue, the life changing things that really affect the lives of Americans?

The news is not about news anymore. It's about protecting some people, destroying others and shoving a socialist agenda down the collective throats of America .

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem .

God Bless America ,

Looking at new router for my modest router table needs...I like this due to the many good reviews and the fact that it will accept collets for both 1/4" & 1/2" bits.

What say my woodworking friends?

Had a great trip and truly enjoyed the Rocky Mountains again!!!
The "Retreat" my daughter & SIL are building was being formed for the foundation now that the septic system & well are in place. As soon as the foundation is complete they will get a projected completion date from the contractor which will likely be late next summer.

Estes Park & Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park were as beautiful as the last time I was there and only slightly more crowded! Our condo was on the Thompson River and that stream flows very fast and makes a tremendous amount of noise!Visit with the S.O.'s children & grandchildren went without any major glitches and was very enjoyable. Saw lots of elk, deer, marmots, chipmunks, etc.

Will try tonight to get some pics in order and give a link.
Cool & rainy here at home as opposed to this time last year when it was in the upper 90's & low 100's!

Good to be back & will be on the saw starting in the morning!!!!!!!
