No eating or drinking while reading the following

I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES....THEY CAN CONFUSE EVEN 2 COLLEGE GRADS!

Ok, now that I have released that tantrum, here's the fun part:


To Be 6 Again!  

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his
  wife, who was
looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not
far off he asked what she'd like to
 
have for her birthday.

'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking
 in the mirror .

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of 
Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park.
What a day! He p ut her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall
of Fear, the Screaming
 Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was
reeling and her stomach felt upside
down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a 
Happy Meal with extra fries and a
chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite
  candy, 
M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!
 
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed 

exhausted.


 

He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six 

again?'


Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
 
'I meant my dress size, you f---ing retard!!!!'

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna 

get it wrong.

Hiding out in Argentina?

No.

So where have I been?  Right here. Why so quite? I've been unwell physically and mentally.. Also, my mom, who is soon to turn 92 has been diagnosed cancer and is undergoing chemo.

But I have been escaping in books and need to write up a huge bunch of reviews. But not tonight.

I am (and have been for a week) fighting with people about bills and insurance and other stuff.  (It's enough to pull one's hair out!)

O, I also need to knit a prayer shawl and hat for mom (her hair is falling out....she wants it to come back in red but   it's not likely and I can't afford to get her a wig.)

I have some funnies for you too.

The Pillars of the Earth

The Pillars of the EarthThe Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was an audio book (I brought in from Audible.com). It is very long but is a great listen. Lots of good history about the time.

I would try to only listen to a bit before going to sleep but ended up listening longer than I should.

The reader was good!

I loved all the recurring characters as well as the known ones like Thomas Becket.

Does everyone get their "just deserts? Mostly.

I will probably listen to it again.
