Reminders, Funnies, and Bye For a While

Happy Hump Day

Before we get to your hump day funnies, I have an announcement: I'm going to stop blogging for a bit. I was doing pretty well juggling family, writing and blogging/social media, but the last few weeks it's been family, gardening/yard work, disaster response (we were out again last weekend), writing, and blogging/social media. Guess what's getting squeezed out. I think a month or so should let me get caught up so please check back toward the beginning of July. Don't forget me, okay?

A couple other quick notes before we get to your hump day funnies...

 Just a reminder that the submission deadline for Write Club is  May 31. If you missed my earlier post on this great event, hop over to the Write Club site for all the details.

Also, congratulations to Liz Fichera. Her lastest, PLAYED, goes on sale today.

Okay, just as a change of pace, I'm going to lead off your funnies with a joke (instead of a silly pet picture).

Two  little  boys are going to the hospital the next day for operations.  

The  older boy leans over and asks, "What  are you having done?" 

The  second boy says, "I'm getting my tonsils out, and I'm  afraid."   

The  first boy says, "You've got nothing to worry about.  I had that  done when I was four. They put  you to sleep, and when you wake up, they  give you lots  of Jell-O and ice cream.  It's a  breeze."   

The second  boy then asks, "What are you going in  for?"  

The first  boy says, "Circumcision."  

"Whoa!"  the smaller  boy replies.  "Good luck, buddy.  I had that done when I was  born.  Couldn't  walk for a year."

 

 

 Well, he couldn't...

Since I'm going to be gone for a while, I thought I should offer this Public Service Announcement:

 

 

 

Hee hee hee.

 

 

Okay, now tell me the truth. Do you think this selfie craze is getting a little out of hand?.

 

 

I think that guy was the clerk at the BMV when I got my license renewed last week. 

 

 

And not to forget your "aw"...

 

 

 Can we get some kitty love?

 That's it for now. I hope you're over the hump for this week and you'll manage to get through the next few weeks without your hump day funnies.

 

 I'll miss you all and may pop in for a comment or two here and there if time permits.

Take care.

Hump Day Funnies and More

Happy Hump Day

Hi! How's your week going?  

Need a lift to get you over the hump and on the way to the weekend?

Never fear. I've got a few funnies that should do the trick.

I think we should call this picture "It's Only Fair".

 I love the P.S., don't you?

I bought a power cell recently. You know, an portable battery unit that you charge and take with you to charge other things off of when you don't have access to electricity.  It's a handy device but I'm guessing the manufacturer didn't spend a lot on the interpreter for the text on the box. These are the instructions and safety warnings (typed exactly as on the package):

FEATURES

With many kinds of charging interface accessories can provide the most convenient to you and your friends around.

MATTERS NEEDING ATTENTION

Do not move the power into the fire heating extrusion or unauthorized disassembly.

This product should be kept out of children.

PRODUCT SPECIALITY

This bank power is available for all kind of electronic products which need to charge with USB, such as iphone, ipad, ipod and PSP etc.

NOTICE

Do not beak, dismantle, into put the fire or place in hot and humid area

Keep away from children

Please turn off the power when not in use, in order to avoid continuous power depletion.

 

 I hope I never have to call their tech support.

This one just made me laugh.

I'm going to take a quick break from your hump day funnies to give a shout out to blog friend Liz Fichera. Liz recently revealed the cover and trailer for her book Played, which will be released in May. Take a moment to take a look.  

 

Best of luck with the release, Liz.

This one is in honor of my little Sophie.

It's been a long winter. Already.

What? You thought I forgot your "aw".  

Oh, ye of little faith. I've got a great one for you.

Who needs a blanket? 

Okay, that should do it. I hope you've over the hump and sliding toward a glorious weekend. 

I want to thank all of you who offered prayers for my friend who is seriously ill. Now I'm going to ask for more. He's been in critical condition in intensive care for the past week and has undergone two emergency surgeries. Please continue to pray for him and for his family. Thank you.

I Need to Buy a What? Horrors!

TGIF

Well, sort of.  You may have noticed a rushed feeling to my posts this week.  Much of that is due to a time crunch of the best kind...trying to get ready for vacation.  This weekend hubby and I are heading to Disney World.  What? You're surprised that a couple old fogies would chose Disney for our get-away?  Would it help if I told you we're going with both our sons and daughters-in-law, and all the grandkids?

It's going to be quite a trip.  I may even bore you with a picture or two when we get back.

But first I have to go through that horror of horrors: buying a new swimsuit.  Sure, I know some women love to shop for clothes, even swimsuits.  They are not overweight grandmothers.  Trying to stuff my body into what passes for a swimsuit these days, while standing under painfully harsh lighting in front of a three way mirror is not my idea of a good time. Which is why I've put it off till the last day.

But Disney World has water parks.  Two of them.  And my grandkids expect me to join them. I do not disappoint my grandkids.

Maybe I can wear a wet suit.

Before I go, I have a couple shout-outs I want to do. 

There's still time to get in on the Meet and Greet contest over on Back to Basics.  Lots of cool prizes there.  Check it out.

Also, check out this awesome trailer for Liz Fichera's latest, HOOKED. 

I've got a true funny for you.  Remember the grandson I hired to do yard work for me (to pay off the glasses he lost at camp)?  His contract specified the work had to be done before Disney World.  Naturally, he put off getting finished until the last couple days.  No problem, it's not like he'd have to work around bad weather or anything in the middle of this terrible dry spell, right?  He's here today to finish and guess what's it doing out.  Can you say "Gene Kelly"?

You've probably figured out that I will not be posting next week.  Look for me again on Hump Day, August 1.  Have a great week next week.

And since you haven't had one for a while, here's a


Groaner of the Day: 

A mother skunk gave birth to twins, whom she named In and Out.

One day In was out, so she aked Out, "Out, go out and find In. In's out and I want him in. I've been looking for him but I can't find him. Go out and find In and bring him in."

"What?" said Out.

"In's out, Out, so go out and find In and bring him in."

So Out goes out to look for his brother In, and within seconds of leaving, he comes back with In in tow. 

His mother asks "Out, how did you find In so quickly?"

In replied...
