Sometimes something comes in my e-mail that's worth sharing. Here's one:

I just took a leaflet out of my mailbox
informing me that I can have sex at 66.
I'm so happy, because I live at number 72.
So it's not too far to walk home afterwards.
And it's the same side of the street.
I don't even have to cross the road!

I'm glad you bumped this 'cause I missed it before......That's a good one.....

I bumped because I wasn't sure I wanted to post what I started this morning -- but what the heck:

Yesterday I got up early, washed some clothes, dried and folded them, then showered and dressed and headed out to run some errands.
Opened my car door, put my purse on the seat, walked around to put something in the trunk, then back to get in -- and looked down and saw panties -- mine -- lying on the pavement beside my car. 

I live in a townhouse community, with neighbors on both sides. Don't know what would've been worse -- one of my neighbors finding them, or somebody in the grocery store or post office tapping me on the shoulder and saying, "Excuse me, ma-am,  ...." 

Gotta watch out for that static electricity! The day before I found a nylon sock in the arm of my sweater.

Very few people possess
true artistic ability.
It is therefore both unseemly and
unproductive to irritate
the situation by
making an effort.
If you have a burning, restless 
urge to write or paint,
simply eat something sweet
and the feeling will pass.

-- Fran Lebowitz, DO IT!

Well, that explains it! I love chocolate!

Was up by 6 this morning, had my coffee while thumbing through a book of quotes by famous people -- and others. This one made me laugh out loud:

Happiness?

A good cigar, a good meal,
and a good woman

-- or a bad woman.

It depends on how much
happiness you can handle.

-- George Burns

Today I went by Costco to pick up a few things, and as usual, the place was full of people hurrying, I guess, to get what they needed for New Year's. I had only 3 things in mind, but on the way to checkout passed by the chowder/specialty soups display, so stopped to pick up my favorite, Legal Seafood King Crab Corn Chowder. While I was looking for it, a man walked up and stopped beside me --  looking in the same direction, for the same thing, but it was not to be found, so we chatted a bit about the change in Chesapeake Bay seafood, and what a shame it is that pollution has just about wiped it out; then how it used to  be. Anyway, we went our way with a Happy New Year wish, and I reached for my cart. But wasn't anywhere to be seen, as I wandered around other people, up and down, back and forth. Thought how embarrassed that gentleman would feel when he discovered he was pushing my cart (I remembered seeing him walk up without a cart but walked away pushing one). Never found it, didn't see him again, so I walked back through the crowded aisles picking up the same items again -- only 3, but they were bulky. (It was not theft -- I don't carry my purse in that huge crowded place -- just a little card holder for my I.D. and debit card, which I carry in a pocket.)  I didn't get upset -- I laughed at myself as I do when I absent-mindedly wander around, or if in a  car, make a wrong turn and get lost. But that's another story -- or two or three --

That's funny!

Do they have that soup frozen and then you put it in the microwave or something to thaw it?

[Locutus]

Is this how it's packaged libby?  It doesn't look frozen here.

Hey Locutus! I was browsing through stuff I missed and came upon your post. I know exactly why I didn't answer you. I was in bed, sick. Either had pneumonia or a bad case of the flu.  And, yes,  that's the chowder I love, and it's not frozen. Only sold "in season." What a coincidence that I went to Costco yesterday to get some and was informed they would not offer it again until (I guess) September (an r month). If I had thought ahead I would've stocked up on it.

Not much to laugh about lately, but this morning, right out of the blue, thought about  Doug, a high school classmate who was the best looking, most popular, best athlete, while I was without doubt the shyest girl, so we never spoke a word to each other until we met again at a reunion and found out we both worked at the Pentagon -- at different times -- and became long distance friends. He died several years ago, and I hadn't thought about him in a while,  until this morning. I was drinking coffee and waiting for the newspaper, and something he once said popped into my head:

"Never trust a fart!" ! Took me a little while to figure that one out.
