BRRR! It is just too damned COLD in winter, to live in MICHIGAN! Hawaii?

In case it's too cold for me to type in the unheated living room of Sagehaven #1, for the next week, (Winter finally hit us) here is a whole weeks worth of giggles, all at once. MONDAY The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was having sex. Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely Impact the family's status, she consulted the family doctor. The doctor told her that teenagers today were very wilful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in... Sign in to see full entry.

An example of a REAL "three dog night!" Winter done AROVE in Dakota!

I talked on the phone last night with an old friend living in North Dakota, near the Canadian border. He said that since last night the snow has been falling, is now nearly waist high, and is still falling. The temperature is falling quickly, and is forecast to drop way below zero and the north wind has increased to near gale force. His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in. Sign in to see full entry.

Awright, "When it rains, IT CERTAINLY DOES POUR! Part #2

* A BRIEF correction: Upon (post) proof-reading yesterday's submission today, I noticed that I said that I have been involuntarily "retired" from being gainfully employed, since nearly the end of October. I thought that I had said, "The last week of September," three days before my nominal "supervisor" became just another kitchen help flunky. (This only means anything special to me, 'cause it was only only one week shy of my 10th employment aniversary. Purely symbolic.) He has been demoted and... Sign in to see full entry.

Ever hear "Life REALLY sucks & then you DIE?" Okay, I'm just about READY!

Okay, here goes my attempt to "catch up" anyone interested in learning why I've been so invisible, lately. I rarely can make a long story short, so this may take several entries, over a number of days. The first week of September, Marilyn was struck down by what felt to her like a very bad, sudden, and severe case of flu. She is a well-known complainer, (Suffering in silence, just isn't in her) but she is absolutely TERRIFIED of needles, so when she told me that she needed to be taken to the...

Most of us never will find the kind of love, that these two did. How sad!

It was busy at the hospital that morning, about 8:30 AM. An elderly gentleman, who appeared to be in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry, as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I... Sign in to see full entry.

I say "Charity begins at home!" Give 'til it hurts for a good cause & WALK!

PUBLIC DONATIONS FOR CONGRESS SOUGHT A driver was stuck in a huge traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, D.C. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?" "Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're demanding a $100 million dollar ransom," the man replied. "Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire," he added. "We are going from car to car, house to house, collecting... Sign in to see full entry.

Is the ol' Sage going all sappy on us, in his old age? Quoting POETRY now!

For some reason it seems that more and more often lately, thoughts about growing older seem to be crowding out most of my other thoughts. You too? Makes sense, I guess. Ain't none of us getting any YOUNGER! Just wish that all that "getting better" stuff wasn't a big, steaming load of CRAP. Guy I think this has been around before, but with my increasing age, it's hard for me to tell....... Anyway, I hope that this poem has the same effect upon you, as it did on me - Then my forwarding it will be... Sign in to see full entry.

What causes ARTHRITIS? Maybe it's the VATICAN!

WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS? A drunk man, reeking of the sour smell of old beer breath sat down on a subway next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked, 'Say Father, what do you suppose causes arthritis?' The priest replied, 'My Son, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked...

Funny how things change when the young & old see things, ain't it?

As I pointed out to my drinking buddy two old, raggedy-looking, decrepit, dissipated, derelict, old drunks sitting across the bar from us, I told my best friend Dave Bradbury "That'll be us in about ten more years". He shook his head sadly, and said to me, "That's the mirror behind the BAR, you dip-shit!"

Sounds to me like 'ol Warren Buffet outa run for prez! I'd vote for him!

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. _*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*_ Rule #1.
