My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am. Love ya Madie.

I have a Labrador retriever. 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? (DUH!)

On impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that 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 and 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.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
Love you all my Friends, Madie

Have a great Week. Love ya Madie.

There are certain people we meet in person and certain blogs we are drawn to again and again ... why is that? I truly believe it is because we are meant to learn something from one another ... maybe we are there for kind words of support and encouragement... maybe we are there to make each other laugh and share our stories ... maybe we are there for much more and only time will show us what are purpose is meant to be, what lesson we are to teach or to learn ..

What I am going to ask of you, who read this is, please ...

if you are lonely, take a moment to reach out to someone ... perhaps they are lonely too

if you are able to lend encouragement and friendship ... reach out to those you have felt drawn to ... you may just make a difference ...

And please, try not to mourn too much for those relationships lost, rejoice for what you once had, for what was given to you during that relationship, for what you were able to give and think about what the reason was for that relationship at that time.

Have a great weekend, THANK YOU for all your Comments to help me with my Shingles, I am fortunate to have Friends like you. Love you Madie

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the
very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she
replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker
commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you
think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply
replied, "No peer pressure."

The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter
eggs.

I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip
replacement, new knees Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half
blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different
medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have
bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and
feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends.
But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my
doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I
decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated,
jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my
leotards on, the class was over.

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her
preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated,
and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?"
the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters
visit me twice a week "

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not
as sharp as it used to be.

Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill
out.

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your
coffeemaker.

These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For
fast relief."

Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow
old because you stop laughing.

--- THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget the
people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Love you all Madie
