This truly made me laugh. I've read it three times and still laugh. lol


A mouse wouldn't last five minutes in my house but, thankfully, I don't have any either. My cats have a small toy mouse that they leave laying all over and one day a friend spotted it, gave an "eek" and said "There's a mouse!". I told her not to worry, it was dead.

What a bleeding heart - it wasn't a baby it was a really big RAT - aarrrr -with knashing teeth. Nope - it was in mouse heaven. Mice do not belong in my house.

Can't. I personally love cats (and dogs). Professor Robert is allergic to them. When I first moved into this house over a dozen years ago I had a gray tabby cat named Miss Cleo.

PB, BLON, I have no sense of humor save for my hysterical Irish DH. When we met (I wasw 19) he said I was an 80 yo woman and cynical at that. Years of watching the Stooges and other comedic shows taught me to be funny. I never had a funny bone in my body until we met.

The one thing he told me that always stuck with me was~

You don't want regret to be your only companion in old age.

Amen, I do not but I am 1/2 Jew by my birth father. He wa never, um, what's the term, when they get to fifteen yo???? O Bar Mitzvad!!!!!!! (sp?) I have a small Menorah somewhere.........Blessings, Clark!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when I told my grandma that DH and I, the Irish Leprechaun, were dating, she mentioned that the Irish were long thought to be the seventh lost tribe of the Jews. DH laghed his azz off. The grandfolks knew he was good people. 32 years later, they were right.

God bless us all.

Well it appears that it's time to retire from this Retirement forum. If you need me or want to chat about anything feel free to send me a private message (PM) - I'll eventually get around to answering (don't know why but I'm horrible at replying to PM's).

Me, too.


I think about "doing something else" , sometimes several times a day, but there are people here that I feel a real affection for that I miss when I'm (cough, cough) away for 3 days.


I think the ignore button is a useful tool. I try not to let people who irritate me rule my actions.


I missed the current issue, if there is one, but I do hope that anyone who feels the need to take a break will feel comfortable looking in when they are ready.
