Okay this is joke day!

Here's some and hopefully they will tickle your funny bone.

 

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very
sexy nightie. "Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you
want."

He tied her up and went golfing.



A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into
the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs,
"Honey, pack your bags. I won the damn lottery!"

The husband said, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or
mountain stuff?"

"Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get the hell out."



Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, "I must
tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."

"Thank God," said an elderly nun at the back. "I'm so tired of the
chardonnay."



A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly,
her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in
some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY!
Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we
going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful ... CAREFUL! I
said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn
them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to
salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE
THE SALT! THE SALT!"

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think
I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels
like when I'm driving."



Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina Mountain man, was
drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued
him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair.

On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon
the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth.

On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been
looking for Herman for 51 years

 

All that being said... ha ha- okay so they weren't all funny- sue me!

How are my peeps all doing? I have not managed to get around to you all yet to pay a little visit but I am thinking about you all. It has been nicer weather outside so I have been trying to get out more instead of staying cooped up inside all the time. Tonight Lovie and I are doing one of our favorite things... Sitting by the bonfire watching the stars. The air is cooler in the evening and I swear I could fall asleep under the stars very easily... Of course the mosquitoes would probably eat me alive and whatever was left of me they would carry off bit by bit to never never land... wherever that is.

I am so ready to have this knee surgery done. I go Thursday to schedule it. I just hope it is fast. Actually I am kind of looking forward to recooperating at home here and having a little mental down time. I am at a point in my life that I am still doing more emotional work and sometimes that is not good at my day job because I need to be focused on what I am doing there too. But you know how the mind wonders and takes over sometimes going in a million and one directions. I have put the book on the shelf for right now until after the surgery. I cannot focus on both things right now. There will be plenty of time to work on it as I am recovering.

I scheduled a hot stone massage in a couple weeks and I am so looking forward to it. It is something special just for me. I have been working really hard in all aspects and need to get back to nurturing me again. You know sometimes I think it would be so nice to just take off and go away for a while to a secluded place like a beach somewhere with a little hut and just stay there for a few months by myself. Self imposed solitude sounds like heaven to me right about now. But I would want the energy of the healing ocean waters to clense my soul and renew me.

To be quite honest I feel like I am at some sort of turning point in my life but I am not sure of the direction. Part of me wants and needs one thing but the other half wants to isolate and just do my own thing. and no before you ask... Lovie and I are not having problems or any kind of issues. This is just my own feelings.. something within me... Hell I dont know what I want right now.. I just know my brain is on overdrive.

Today I feel one thing... tomorrow may be different. I am growing and changing everyday and this is what I do know. I know I need to speak my truths and at the same time stay true to who I am and all I am. I know that I need to nurture my spirit and that it has to be done everyday for me to feel the sernity it offers me. (I am doing a terrible job at this currently and boy can I ever tell it) I know that I have a creative energy within me that is busting at the seams. Where that will take me...is the part I dont know.

 

Well this post started out with a chuckle hopefully and ended on a more serious note. That's okay though- it is what it is.

Later gaters- enjoy the rest of the day and weekend.

Love,

Wow it's good to get back in my fur.... that tux and top hat was getting old but I am back to normal now....plus I just couldnt stand looking at that dreadful drag queen fairy another day! Me and my bright ideas for Halloweeny costumes.

I am trying to decide what to be this year. As you all know or maybe you dont know, my family has a huge Halloween party every year. We go all out and it is a blast! I am still waiting to see when my knee surgery will be to see if I will be able to participate this year and how much. I may have to have a more simple costume if I cant get around much and I may not be able to get into character like I have in the past. Boy I have had some doozies --makes me chuckle just thinking of them. Which brings me to a question of the day.

Do you go to any Halloween parties and do you dress up in costume? If so what was your best costume ever?

Let me know peeps!

Love,
PolarB ;)

Happy Anniversary Blogstream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a wonderful ride rowing in these waters and I hope to have my little boat anchored here for quite a while. In fact I just bought a nice corner lot property on the east side stream with my own dock....So next time you sail or row past, pull up along side the deck and grab an ice cold beer or a refreshing glass of sun tea and we'll shoot the shit for a while!

It's all good here in the stream!

Happy anniversary to all those who joined when this resort first opened and to the many who have joined  since then. Here let me crank up the music.... Ahhhh it is the Pointer Sisters singing "We are Family"  Come on now... dance a little with me before we head to the big party tonight!

Here's Lovie saying Cheers to you- I think she's getting started a little early too!

 

See you all there!

Love,

PolarB ;)

OKay.... me again but this time I think I will stay for a while. I have had nearly three weeks to chill although I have not been chillin much.. I have been doing alot of hard emotional work on some things.
Past stuff has reared it's ugly head again and I had work to do. I am still continuing to do the things I must do as well as take care of me. Never fun but always worth it.

I have cut ties to some relationships and moved on for my own safety and well being. It was one of the reasons I left the Stream...
The thing is the more I read from their sites the more I know I made the right decision and the one that is best for me. I wasn't going to air this situation but I will tell you a few of the facts without naming any names. I became friends with someone and was sent something in snail mail that ended up being terribly upsetting to me. I let the persons know that it upset me and why and that I would not be in contact other than to maybe just read their sites but not comment. At first they seemed to be apologetic and supportive but slowly the tables turned and it was being posted that I had somehow attacked them and accused them of being part of a cult. The funny thing is they have said in their blogs they would rather know the reason someone makes the decision to end relationship with them verses someone just walking away without a clue which is what I was tempted to do, yet when they were told their reaction changed and they seemed to make me out to be the bad guy. The situation did not feel safe to me period and the more I read the more I saw the bigger picture and know I made the best decision for myself and the right one. Sooo Nuf said about that.

I am here and I am not going to go away. The Stream is important to me and you guys are my extended family. So for right now I am back at least until I get the surgery done then I will be off for a while again right after I get my knee replacement. Hopefully that is going to be very soon. I go back on the 14th to schedule the surgery. These horrid injections have not helped and the bones are still grinding in there so it is off to the surgeon we will go! I feel like I should be singing - "There coming to take me away aha..." I am ready to get this done and over with.

So anyway... I have been checking in a bit here and there reading blogs and see we have a Blogstream anniversary party coming up. I too will be celebrating 1 year with Blogstream this month. How exciting to have found this place and to cool my feet in the calming waters of the stream and call this place home.

I wondered over to Lucy's tonight and saw the Overheard in Blogstream post she does- She is so talented! That is some seriously funny stuff there. I thought of her this week and had to laugh about something Lovie said. I was sitting on the couch watching tv when I heard Lovie say "Girl your licker is gonna get tired soon!" I had to check my ears and thought to myself...Does she have another woman in the kitchen with her? But nope... she was talking to the cat who has just been licking the juices off her food verses eating it! Whew... scared me for a minute!

Lovie and I decided that we are going to take the computer upstairs soon so I wont have to go up and down the basement steps for when I get my knee done. We are still "discussing" where to put it. I voted for the extra bedroom which is also Sophie's room. Sophie is the cat. I am allergic to cats and Lovie says I should not be sitting in there at all. I say we clean it extra good and go ahead and set up a desk in there. I take Claritin everyday anyway. Lovie's idea is to set it up in the living room however we dont have anywhere to put it where it is not going to look like an albatross in the middle of the living room. I vote cat room! I guess we will have to see who wins this battle.

We are going to grill out tomorrow- BBQ ribs and corn on the cob! Yummy! I am making a pasta salad too and a cake with buttercream frosting. I hardly ever eat cake but I have been in the mood for one. I need to do some freezing too- I have 4 lbs of green beans to pop, blanch and freeze and then I got 24 ears of sweetcorn today that I will be frying up and freezing for winter.

That being said...since it is going on 3:30 in the morning I guess I better head up to bed soon. I got work to do in the morning! Maybe I should just get my cup of coffee now so I'll have a start on the day. Whaddaya think?

OKay- Later peeps- good to be back.

IN MEMORY OF MARCUS

SAY A PRAYER THAT THIS WILL ENLIGHTEN OUR SOCIETY THAT THINGS MUST CHANGE IN OUR FOSTER CARE PROGRAMS AND FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE BEING ABUSED ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD.

Today there will be silence

Today there will be silence mom,                                                                                          

 no crying will you hear.  

 I didn't mean to anger you,

 I just wanted you near.

Today there will be sleep again, 

I won't cry out in vain.                                                                                                          

The nights I needed comforting,                                                                                        

were filled with hurt and pain.

How could someone so big and strong,                                                                            

strike out at little me?                                                                                                               

I was a gift, your little boy,                                                                                         

unwanted now, I see.

Today there will be love at last,                                                                                            

On angels wings I'll soar.                                                                                                    

Way up high, above the clouds,                                                                                     

through heavens golden doors.

So momma, say a prayer for me,                                                                                           

for the life I'll never know.                                                                                                        

I just wish you could have cared for me,                                                                               

for I would have loved you so..
