NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN - NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN

 MALE AND FEMALE DOWNIE WOODPECKERS I THINK

I am not going to complain about the heat and humidity.  I am not going to complain about the heat and humidity.  I am not going to complain about the heat and humidity.  There, now that I have that out of the way, maybe I can get on with things.  Only there isn't much to get on with today.  Kelly headed off in the Subaru this morning to another dental appointment in Exeter while Pheebs and I stayed home.  We offered to drive her there but she said 'nope' and that was that.  I think with this morning's 86F temp she was concerned about Pheebs and I having to sit in the car for a couple hours waiting for her.  Pheebs and I would have done that but she's the Big Kahoona here and us guys gotta do what we're told or else.  We're off to London's University Hospital tomorrow.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The middle aged man was visibly shaken when his Doctor advised that he had only 6 month's to live because of the terminal disease that was detected during a recent physical check-up. The Doctor suggested that he should get his 'house in order' , make sure his Will was current and ensure all final arrangements were in place for the funeral. He should then make plans to enjoy what might be left of his life, to the fullest.  "What will you do for the last six months?" asked the Doctor.  His patient thought for a few minutes then replied, "I think I'll go and live with my Mother-in-law."  Surprised by the answer, the Doctor asked, "Of all people, why in the would you want to live with your Mother-in-law?"  "Because it'll be the longest six months of my Life!"
