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…....
Chili's in the Fall is always such a breath of fresh Autumn air, let alone a charge of renewed friendship as we experienced yesterday at our October Luncheon! We had a great turn out, and it was so much fun to laugh, eat, and once again indulge in the escapdes of adult living. Please try to come join us next time at the Chili's in Sandy, (Fort Union) as our dear Pat Holloway always so willingly posts and lines up for us, along with her partner in crime, Joann Thomas! Here are a few photos to show you what you missed! Hugs to all! xoxo

Hey Classmates: I just noticed in last Sundays Salt Lake Tribune for one of ous "missing" classmates, Ray Nelson!
I hadn't seen Ray for many years, back in the mid 90's when he was a Security Supervisor at the SLC Mayors Office in the City-County building!!
Apparently Ray has been seriously ill for many years & had been living at the St. Josephs Villa, care center!!
I have many fun memories of racing around town with Ray in his green Plymouth Valiant!! It was a 6 banger with 3 on the tree, but you'd have thought it was a "Hemi"!! Some of you will know what I mean!! Rest peacefully old friend!!

Well....I'm at the emergency room !
It was not a good day. I decided to go take a ride on a horse yesterday evening to relax. It turned out to be a freakin mistake! I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster; before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. The horse made a sudden jerk and just blew up. Bucking and kicking , and I couldn't hold on. I fell off, but my foot got caught in the stirrup. The horse kept bucking and running, and was dragging me and wouldn't stop. Thank goodness the manager of the grocery store came out and unplugged the machine. But then he had the nerve to take the rest of my quarters so I wouldn't attempt to drive the Batmobile, and told me to stay away from the handicap carts. Retirement is rough!xoxo
Hi Tauna! Welcome to the website! Glad you found us and can now reconnect with some of your old classmates! Take some time and snoop around and see what’s been happening. I hope the past several decades have been good to you and your family! Cheers!

Dr. Clayton, you'll like this one. A guy at my exercise classes heard me "complaining" about how much one of kitties sheds. He told several of us that were listening in that he had read that there was a way to take care of it by docking her tail a certain place, and it makes it so she she won't shed any more! I said "you're kidding! Well where do you know where to dock it to?" He answered with a big smile, "Oh, that's easy, right up behind her neck!" Arghhhhh!
Happy Birthday Jim, wush you the very best now that ur 71 like the rest of us!

Just a little fun stuff today:
I realized I still have so many unanswered questions: I never found out who let the dogs out... the way to get to Sesame Street... why Dora doesn't just use Google Maps... Who is 'Trader Joe'... why we don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"... why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed... why "abbreviated" is such a long word... why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons... why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... and, why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts" where's that extra penny going to... why do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune... why did you just try to sing those two previous songs... and just what is Victoria's secret... Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways... and do you really think I am this witty... I actually stole this from a friend who stole it from a friend of her brother's girlfriend's Uncle's cousin's, baby mamma's Doctor... Now it is your turn to steal it from me... lol Enjoy the rest of your day!
Just posted another classmates passing that Dean Fletcher sent to me, Ron Johnson that I just posted. Thank you Dean! Even though there was no obit, he shared some great information. Dave Robinson also heard that John Gardner has passed away, sadly, but we haven't seen an obit on him. If anyone hears anything about that, please let me know. Thank you dear Ram friends!! xoxo

Love this photo of Joanne & Jim at our summer picnic, 2017. Great memories in happier times!
RIP dear friend.
I am so sorry for your loss and pain. It is so hard to lose a spouse. Prayers and love.
Happy Birthday, Lori. It was great to see you at the Chester Ward. You and Rich are doing great work. Are you still there? How much longer?

OK, I threw this on Facebook, guess I will here too, Yesterday I went and got 3 shots, the senior flu shot, the 2nd Pneumococcal shot, and the whooping cough shot! OUCH, for sure, especially in the arm I got the Whooping cough/Pneun. shot! Expecting a new great-granddaughter in January and they're warning us seniors to help prevent the spread of whooping cough by getting our shots. I guess it's way worth it in the big picture. Are all of you caught up? Play it safe this year! Sally Safe, here, encouraging you to get out and get your shots! Just jumped off soap box....ouch... LOL
