AND SO WENT ANOTHER DAY

 A QUIET SUNDAY MORNING IN SOUTHWEST ONTARIO

A sultry overcast and grey mid-July morning.  Looking out our living room window, not even a leaf stirred.  The air felt heavy with unseen moisture, but a quick check of our weather radar site showed not a raindrop in sight.  So, it was under these gloomy skies that Pheebs and I jeeped ourselves up to Goderich to pick up a few things at Walmart.  Would you believe I exited the store with only 7 items in my shopping bag and the bill was $91.04.  Of course you would believe this madness because it is happening to all of you as well.  Those 7 simple items consisted of the following....3 quarts of milk, 1 quart of orange juice, 1 pound of coffee, 1 jar of peanut butter, 1 box of cereal, 1 bottle of Wild Salmon Oil caplets, and one bottle of Glucosamine & Chondroitin caplets. (for my troublesome hip)  It's a good thing I didn't decide to pick up a small box of generic toothpicks because that could very well have spiked the bill to well over $130.00!!!!:((  Sunshine finally broke through the early afternoon clouds and so went another day.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A husband is advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't have to let your wife henpeck you! Go home and show her you are the boss!"  Of course, the husband takes the doctor's advice. He rushes home, slams the door, shakes his fist in his wife's face, and growls, "From now on, you're taking orders from me! I want my supper right now and when you get it on the table, go upstairs and lay out my best clothes. Tonight, I'm going out with the boys and you are going to stay at home where you belong! And another thing... guess who's going to comb my hair, give me a shave, and tie my necktie?"  His redheaded wife says calmly, "The undertaker."
