THIS IS MY JOKE OF THE WEEK BOX:
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed him to hear 100%.
He went back in a month and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'
The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations.
I've changed my will three times!'

THE KITTEN'S STORY Found on 5/29/08
Found a kitten on Monday lying in he road that had been hit by a car. It's front right leg just hangs there. The kitten is very vocal (meow, meow) and is as cute as a button.
We already have 4 cats and the last thing we need is another one. "But this one is calico", someone said (as if that makes a difference). I guess it does. The other cats have rejected her. She doesn't fit in their clique. That's their problem as she now gets special attention and they don't. (haha on them). Now she gets to stay with the dogs (a sheltie and a black lab) and me. They TOTALLY accept her. In one short week she has become a little calico DOG. She sleeps and eats with them and even runs to greet me at the door. She runs on 3 legs, dragging the front . And the dogs watch out for her. It's great to see.
I was going to name her daisy but "flour" is what we ended up with. Notice the unique spelling. Anybody can have a cat named flower .. but ours will give the Pillsbury doughboy a run for his money.
Took her to the vet. Nothing broken but there is extensive nerve damage. The leg isn't going to get any better. I think she'll adapt. I hope so.
8/16 ... UPDATE
Peggy now runs with the pack (she's been accepted by them) but chooses to sleep with the dogs. So she maintains the "BEST" of both worlds. Yesterday she was spayed and the final decision was made NOT to amputate her leg.
Thanks to so many caring people on the Hill who have asked about "Peggy". To each and every one of you she says...MEOW
.
PS Flour's name has been changed to "Peggy".
ABOUT ME
I'm married for the second time. My first wife (of 38 years) passed away from a brain tumor in 2002.
My wife, Jean, is an RN at the local hospital Emergency Room. We have (combined) 4 grown children and 10 grandchildren. I love my Grandchildren but I can't seem to finish a whole one anymore. We live in a large Victorian home that was built before 1900 and we are in a constant state of remodeling and restoring. But we love it.
I am a retired Lutheran Pastor. I served 15 years in Baltimore, Maryland and 10 years in other places. Tamaqua, where we now live is within 20 miles of my very first parish. We're in the anthracite coal regions of Pa.
I have established the "Chapel on the Hill", a group under religion. Check it out.

MY RESUME (Joke)
-- My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned. I couldn't concentrate.
-- Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.
-- After that, I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it --mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
-- Next, I tried working in a muffler factory, but that was too exhausting.
-- Then, I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.
-- I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.
-- My best job was a musician, but I found it hard to be noteworthy.
-- I studied a long time to become a doctor, but found I didn't have any patience.
-- Next was a job in a shoe factory. I tried but I just didn't fit in.
-- I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.
-- I worked for a pool maintenance company, but it was just too draining.
-- So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
-- I tried working in Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.
-- I even got a job as a historian -- until I realized there was no future in it.
-- SOOOOOOO... I FINALLY TRIED RETIREMENT AND FOUND THAT I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

HALLOWEEN JOKE
An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset.
Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational.
In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.
A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.
As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard, (barely containing his laughter), and who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the heck is going on here?"
The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I just beat the crap out of a ghost."
Happy Halloween
