    LIFE, explained...........................


    On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."

    The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years? I'll give you back the other ten?"

    So God agreed...... On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"

    And God agreed...... On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."

    The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty? I'll give back the other forty."

    And God agreed again....... On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

    But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

    "Okay," said God. "You asked for it."

    So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

    Life has now been explained to you.

    I'm getting tired of sitting here all day barking!:lolup:
    Yet I'm too old to monkey around and too tired to work.

    We had a cottage warming on Saturday. It was great! Lots of food, friends and a bonfire. The sun was out, the trees were in full color, it was a good day.

    Now I'm on the coach with a bad cold... I got a flu shot, it's to bad we couldn't get a cold shot. :(

    Two weeks ago Thursday, I had a heart procedure that went just fine that morning, but by that evening my throat was sore and I had trouble swallowing. Then over the last two weeks it's been ping-ponging between my throat, sinuses, upper lungs and back to the throat.

    Take care and get better. Sounds like you and fannie both need a shot of something.:cheers::drink:

    Almost a year ago our kids and grandkids had a house warming party without us for our retirement home.
    When we move in in 2020 can we still have a house moving into party?

    Take care of that cold, sore throat thing. Don't want anything complicating the heart procedure.

    Luckily it happened afterward. I think I caught the cold from my brother, who had a cold and smokes; he was the one who drove me to and from the hospital.

    ^_______________ Can you imagine how rough this must ride. The beer would have foam oozing out the spigots.

    Horse-drawn and with a double spring-pack suspension, I'd say no, it wouldn't, unless the horses spooked, and then it'd be like the movie "The Hallelujah Trail!"

    "I just don't want any Revenuers snooping around my wagons." "Oh, so you haven't paid your Federal taxes yet, eh?" "What? No! I'm a taxpayer and a good Republican!"
