Want to veiw the fires in OK?

Here is a link to view where the fires are burning in Oklahoma... what an unusual winter...!!!

Good news.... for some, haha....

For those folks wishing my demise.... sorry! I am back and in about 6 weeks, I ought to be better than before. Got a clean bill of health from the Drs yesterday. Don't have any needles in my arms or tubes hanging out of me.... And I am smiling.... very big smiles.... Got to send a big THANK YOU to Ann who has baby sit me since December 21st, our first trip of 22 that we made from that date to yesterday. She was a trouper... Boy, did I do good in picking my BEST friend!! She was my arms, legs, etc. She made every trip with me, even when Phil offered to haul me to emergency room, she said no and did it herself. The irony of all this is that the 21st was her first day of vacation and yesterday was her last. And all she did was care for me. I could not have made it without her. I never in my life felt more SUB human than I did during this period. It was embarrasing, it was sad, my heart ached for Ann, who was tired, sick, and still smiled and told me she loved me... wow.... how uplifting she was, and still had family together for Christmas, and one other time... Ann, I love you and will be there for you too... but gosh I hope the best and hope you never have to go thru what I did, ever!
Anyway, no pain pills... body is adjusting, very short tempered and no patience at all, I have learned today trying to get back into the hang of working again.. eyes are tired... ok enough of me.. how about you???

Uncle Ivan sends his best wishes to everyone and says he has his diabitics under control... I can see his big ole smile all the way up here!!! Glad you are doing well, Uncle Ivan... and hey to Aunt Freda too.

well, got to get back to killing rabbits... later... S

Heather sent this tidbit along.... sigh.... what a deal... haha

Jacksonville, FL Police Dept.

A man goes to a party and has too much to drink.

His friends plead with him to let them take him home.

He says NO -- he only lives a mile away.

About five blocks from party, the police pull him over for weaving
and ask him to get out of the car and walk the line.

Just as he starts, the police radio blares out a notice of a
robbery
taking place in a house just a block away.

The police tell the party animal to stay put, they'll be right back

and they hop a fence and run down the street to the robbery.

The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home.

When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and
to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has the flu

and has been in bed all day.


A few hours later the police knock on the door.

They ask if Mr. Smith is there and his wife says yes.

They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with the flu
and has been so all day.

The police have his driver's license.

They ask to see his car and, she asks why.

They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage.

She opens the door.

There sitting in the garage is the police car, with all its lights
still flashing.

True story, told by the driver at his first AA meeting.

Happy Motoring !!!
