NEIGHBOR’S FLOWERS
Aside from washing & cleaning up our Jeep this morning I’m afraid I really don’t have anything of interest to write about tonight. Sat on our front porch reading for awhile today & that was about it. Wished I had more, but………
GROANER’S CORNER:(( A new report suggests that being overweight is not as harmful as is commonly believed, and actually confers some surprising benefits. Being five to ten pounds overweight could protect people from ailments ranging from tuberculosis to Alzheimer's disease, research indicates. Those carrying 15 to 25 extra pounds are better able to recover from adverse conditions such as emphysema, pneumonia, and various injuries and infections, states the report. Thirty to forty pounds of flab could help fend off breast, kidney, pancreatic, prostate, and colon cancer. And an extra fifty pounds on the scale may improve eyesight, reverse baldness, cure the common cold, and reduce global warming. In general, the report concludes, overweight people are happier, more successful in business, smarter, and friendlier. The study was funded by a research grant from McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, Haagen Dazs, Sara Lee, and Krispy Kreme.
Sounds like a perfect day..
ReplyDeleteOurs was a quiet rainy day..but good still the same!!
ReplyDeleteQuiet day, beautiful flowers, and a good joke. What could be better! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did good! Nobody expects every single day to be exciting. Thank you for the "hello". Just to know you're doing Ok is enough. Funny groaner. I Was hoping all the extra pounds was OK. Of course those sponsors had nothing to gain from that study!!
ReplyDeleteMy jeep definitely needs a wash, but water is so scarce out here in California I will wait. I think I would rather hike a mountain than wash it anyway. Enjoy your relaxing evening.
ReplyDeleteSounds like our day too Al! Very nice.....
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that, especially when you have excellent weather.
ReplyDeleteMore than I did :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, your neighbor has beautiful African daisies! I planted some a few years ago and they were gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCheryl Ann
I hear ya.
ReplyDeleteYour colorful flowers sure brightened up my attitude... it's another cold, rainy day here. (the joke made me laugh, too... )
ReplyDeleteThen it must be time for a little side trip! You sure accomplished more than I did, though hopefully that's about to change. Your yard and cactus garden are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think I would rather have a day like yours than like the one we had 2 days ago!!!!
