A Sign?
Lila had her surgery today. She was out of surgery in less than an hour, then she spent the next four hours trying to shake off the effects of the anethesia. She is really sore but feeling much better.
While she was in surgery I went out to call and check on the kids. Now I know a lot of people, when they pray, ask for a sign. I don't. However, I feel I received one anyway. I prayed simply for Lila to come through the operation all right and for God to guide the surgeon's hands. As I got ready to go back inside I noticed a single dove, between me and the door. It may sound strange but that keeps happening throughout my life. During times in my life that I have been really worried about something, I have been visited by doves. I know that didn't really have anything to do with how things turned out but it is really a calming effect. Then I notice a mated pair of cardinals, the state bird of my home state. To me they were Lila and I, flying above our problems. I don't rely on, or even ask for signs. I think sometimes however, if you pay attention, you may get one.
Anyway, Welcome back home Lila. Get well soon.
I Love You.

Why?????
Do you ever wonder why people do things. Or is it just me.
Like ...why do we put so much trust in doctors? If they are so smart then why do we call them ...Practicing Physicians?
Why does a dog get mad when you blow in his face, yet when he rides in a car with the window down he keeps his head out the window
If Jimmy cracks corn and noone cares, why is there a song about him?
If the professor on gilligan's island can make a radio out of a coconut, why the heck cant he fix a hole in a boat?
Why do people point to their wrist when asking what time it is, and not their crotch when asking directions to the bathroom?
If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
If a man is talking in the forest, and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong??
Why is it when you tell someone there are over a billion stars in the universe, they believe you. But tell them there is wet paint, they have to touch it for themselves.
Why is it noone listens to what you say until you'r wrong about something.
Did you ever notice noone really cares about you until you miss a couple payments?
The tongue is one of the lightest body parts we have, so why is it so hard to hold?
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
God is dead - Nietzsche
Nietzsche is dead - God
If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?...congress?
Why do you need a drivers license to buy alcahol when you can't drink and drive?
If nothing sticks to teflon, how do they get the teflon to stick to the pan?
they have that indestructible black box on airplanes in case of a crash, why can't they make the whole plane out of that material?
When people are driving looking for an address, why do they turn the radio down.
How can something be new and improved at the same time?????
On the radio the other day I heard an ad...."Im Jeff Healy...from the Jeff Healy Band....don't drink and drive....I dont"
Well....I hope you don't drive sober either Mr. Healy.....You'r freakin' blind for pete's sake!!!!!!!!
If you want to send someone some styrofoam what do you pack it in?
Do amphibians have to wait an hour after eating to get out of the water?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, would that be considered a hostage situation?
When a pet bird sees you reading the newspaper does he ever wonder why you'r just sitting there staring at the carpet?
Since light is faster than the speed of sound, is that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
Can atheists get isurance coverage for acts of God?
If I were to pay you 10 cents for every kind word you ever spoke, and take 5 cents from you for every unkind word, would you be rich or poor?
If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what was yesterday?
If you steal a clean slate, does it go on your record?
If a cannibal ate a clown, would he taste funny?
How much deeper would the ocean be if there were no sponges?
Why can't life's problems hit us when we are 17 and we know everything?
Why is the phrase "it's none of my business.." always followed by the word "but"

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!!!!!
I would like to send out some traditional Irish blessings to everyone. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm Irish. Part Irish anyway, but that still counts.
May you'r neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
Dance as if noone were watching,
Sing as if noone were listening,
And live every day as if it were you'r last.
May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you are dead.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May you'r neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
Dance as if noone were watching,
Sing as if noone were listening,
And live every day as if it were you'r last.
May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you are dead.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
A few limericks to get you started
A Lass, one beautiful morn,
Fell in love with a male unicorn,
She purchased a spell,
Recited it well,
Now she's with him with hooves, tail, and horn.
A man, while drinking light bud,
Crashed his car with a sickening thud,
The car that he hit,
Had a warlock in it,
Now he lives as a frog in the mud
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His beak can hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak,
Food enough for a week,
But I'm damned if I see how the helican.
There was a young woman named Bright,
Whose speed was much faster than light,
She set out one day,
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.
