I think it would be appropriate here, to share a Facebook birthday wish to Phil Ward, from his thoughtful son, Eliot. Good old Phil, always had some kind of prank going. Gosh, he’s been gone since 1988! Hard to believe! So here it is, I also included the photo he posted:

“Happy Birthday to my Dad today! Irreverent, unique, hilarious, high sense of style, personality for days, and a big heart to love. Scott, a great friend of his was in residency in Boston and had called to check in on him knowing that he had cardiomyopathy, was on the heart transplant list and prognosis wasn’t good. My dad expressed his love for him and asked if his friend could do him one favor? “...I WOULD LIKE YOUR HEART....” they laughed and laughed. Facing challenges and obstacles with love and humor is a legacy he has given me and something I strive to do in my own life. #dad #legacy #philipward #humor #love #challenges #laughter #friendship #memories #happybirthday #challenges #gonebutnotforgotten

Hey, Ram friends, I’m so sad to announce that another one of our classmates has passed away. Coralie Christianson Britton, died on January 2, 2020, after a short illness. She had been meeting with us for our monthly luncheon’s and had seemed great. I was really shocked to get this news. Coralie was such a sweetheart and will be missed by so many loved ones and friends. I will post her obituary asap. RIP, dear friend!

This was on Facebook today and made me smile! Maybe it will do the same for you!!:


My husband and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD's.

We had to have the garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since...

I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.

The reason: 'Too many deers are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.

My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,
'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'what on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
She is a government employee.....

When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
STAY ALERT!

They walk among us, they breed, and they vote…....
