Know Your Bones

Happy St. Patrick's Day--and Irish Blessing

May those that love us, love us.

And those who don't love us,

may God turn their hearts.

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles

So we may know them by their limping.

Happy St. Pat's!

Overwhelmed by Holiday baking?

My friend Naomi shared this silly story via e-mail--enjoy:

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who kneads it.

If it weren't for Yvonne, a 2004 Up & Comer, I wouldn't be here in the 'sphere!  Boy, the world is changing fast.  Lots of opportunities to create success for ourselves, if we pay attention and take charge--best wishes to all!

Happy Halloween-Know Your Bones!

Halloween is the orthopedic High Holy Day--have fun and live it up!

      

You know you're alive when...

An older couple is lying in bed one morning.    They had just awakened from a good night's sleep.

He takes her hand and she responds, "Don't touch me."

"Why not?" he asked.

She answered, "Because I'm dead."

The husband asked "What are you talking about? We're both lying here in bed together and talking to one another!"

She said, "No, I'm definitely dead."

He insisted, "You are not dead. What in the world makes you think you're dead?"

"Because I woke up this morning and nothing hurts."

Drink Your Milk and Know Your Bones!

'Saw this cool billboard on a recent trip to Toronto!  (I hope the resolution is worthy--the "ink" in the picture is milk droplets in the shape of a spine.)
