I mean in each our lives, as needed. Some things we can make for ourselves, other changes have to come from outside circumstances. As we get older sometimes our options become more limited. But our response to any given situation is a choice.

Hoping for some positive changes in the new year for all of us!

Oh I bet you even money somebody will find a pun that counts!

I read a lot of 20s detective fiction and there are two recurring phrases that always make me grin.

"His/her bed hadn't been slept in". Sure indication that something is up, as no gentleman ever spread up his own bed--good Lord, he wouldn't know how! Even young ladies had at least a daily char to do it for them. A made-up bed and an absent master or mistress spells murder!

"S/he discovered a talent for..." This is that same young man or woman who finds themselves (English needs more pronouns!) thrown out into the cold, wide world without the means to earn the daily crust. They always discover a talent they didn't know they had, which allows them not only the daily crust but quite a lot of butter and jam, for very short work days.

Golly I wish I could work that one.

What did the alien say to the garden shed?
Take me to your weeder!

That's a big 10-4, good buddy! (And boy did I just date myself.)

All this laughter is making me 3(s)0!

Q: why is 6 afraid of 7?
A: Because 7 8 9.

Do...not...make...joke...about...crystal balls. Do...not...
Oh, whew, I don't have to. You're already there.

"Can't we find a happy medium in here, somewhere?"
"I don't think so, not if she can see the future."

I wish you all every blessing, reasonable prosperity and a good dollop of enjoyment.

Groovy my sweet, without your constant encouragement and wit I'd be a very bored little womble. I hope you got my PM resending the one that went astray.

Let us all enjoy the Year of the Rooster!

Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't always run out of gravy before you run out of bird.

The turkey is finished. Hooray!"

Those should be on the jokes thread!! LOL

"And God Bless us, every one!" (Tiny Tim)

This Buddhist monk opens a tofu dog stand in the centre of a busy town. A customer comes up at lunchtime and asks, "Can you make me one with everything?"

"Only you can do that," replies the monk.

Once they straighten out the man's order, he pays with a twenty. The monk turns away and starts to wait on the next customer.

"Hey!" yells the first guy. "Where's my change?"

"Change comes from within," replies the monk.

Not a "joke" per se, but it struck me funny. Walking down the street in my area, I saw a sign in a cafe window this morning: "Vegetarian Sandwich with Chicken."

Um...okaaay....

Just remember it's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in!

This is getting un-bear-a-bull!

Blast from the past, I just heard myself say, "you'uns" in a sentence. Not "yins" like from Pittsburgh, but "you'uns" like from Arkansas.

"Ef I live, and you'uns lives..."
