I JUST HAVE TO GET ON WITH THE I'S ME'S AND MINE'S

It was just me in the Subaru on this snowy mid-January morning heading to the Maitland Valley Health Center in Goderich.  It was my semi-annual diabetes check-up with my Nurse Practitioner and the Diabetes Lady.  They had good news for me.  My numbers were better and I had actually tipped back over the line to 'Pre-diabetic'.  I had a hunch that might happen, and it did.  And, I even got a great big hug from my Nurse Practitioner.  The only area I am falling down in is exercise and I've no chance of that until all this miserable snow melts, the Sun comes out, and the temperatures come up.

 IT WAS A SNOWY DRIVE TO GODERICH AND BACK THIS MORNING

I and We....I have quite a time with that now.  It was always 'we' but now it is only 'I' and I'm having to get used to that when I'm referring to anything.  Is or was is another one.  It was ours but now it's mine.  It was 'our' car but now it's my car  It just don't sound right to me but it is what it is and I just have to get used to it.  'Our house' is now my house.  I liked it better when it was our house.  I liked it better when there was more 'ours' and fewer 'mines'.  More 'us' than 'me's.  It just felt more comfortable and right.  But alas, change is inevitable and I just have to get on with the I's, me's and mine's.    

 WHEN I SAW THIS BIG GUY COMING FULL TILT I PULLED OVER INTO A FARMERS LANE AND WAITED FOR HIM TO GO FLYING BY

 A VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME IS THROWING UP SNOW IN MY FACE

 IT LOOKS LIKE THIS FARMER FORGOT TO HARVEST HIS CORN LAST FALL

 OH-OH, LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE AHEAD RIGHT AT OUR PARK'S ENTRANCE

SLOWLY EASING BY I NOTICED IT LOOKED LIKE A WHITE AMAZON VAN AND I SUDDENLY HAD MYSELF ANOTHER OH-OH....WHAT IF IT IS AND HE JUST DROPPED OFF MORE COFFEE FILTERS AT MY HOUSE:((  I THINK THAT WAS DON FROM THE BAYFIELD GARAGE IN THAT ORANGE COAT

Al's Music Box:)) All Night Long is a song by American singer and songwriter Lionel Richie from his second solo album, Can't Slow Down (1983). The song combined Richie's Commodores style with Caribbean influences. The single reached number one on three Billboard charts (pop, R&B and adult contemporary).  In the UK, it peaked at number two on the singles chart.  The song lyrics were written primarily in English, but Richie has admitted in at least one press interview that "African" lyrics in the song, such as "Tam bo li de say de moi ya" and "Jambo jumbo", were in fact gibberish.  Richie has described these portions of the song as a "wonderful joke", written when he discovered that he lacked the time to hire a translator to contribute the foreign-language lyrics he wished to include in the song.  Cash Box summed up its review of the single saying "Richie’s command of these diverse musical elements and shifts in melodic direction is as impressive as it is pleasurable."  An accompanying music video for "All Night Long (All Night)" was produced by former Monkee and TV video pioneer Michael Nesmith and directed by Bob Rafelson.  Richie performed the song at the closing ceremonies of the 1984 Suer Olympics in Los Angeles and also performed the song live at the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize celebration.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( After church on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, "Mom, I've decided I'm going to be a minister when I grow up."  "That's okay with us," the mother said, "But what made you decide to be a minister?"  "Well," the boy replied, "I'll have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still and listen."

I just finished building a car using a motor from a washing machine. I'm going to take it for a spin later.

Two rednecks, Bubba and Earl, were driving down the road drinking a couple of bottles of Bud.  The passenger, Bubba, said, "Lookey thar up ahead, Earl, it's a po-lice roadblock!  We're gonna get busted fer drinkin' these here beers!!"  "Don't worry, Bubba," Earl said. "We'll just pull over and finish drinkin' these beers, peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads, and throw the bottles under the seat."  "What fer?" asked Bubba.  "Just let me do the talkin', OK?" said Earl.  Well, they finished their beers, threw the empty bottles under the seat, and each put a label on their forehead.  When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff said, "You boys been drinkin'?" ...."No sir," Earl said. "We're on the patch."
