But Mary Kept all these things...

Hi tis the season to be jolly. Easier said the done right? I was fortunate enough to find employment in September and I am enjoying it, I hope something this amazing happened for you. I got to see my brother for over a week, even more amazing!

As the cold winds blow, and the nasty snow falls I wish you all the best the season can be for you. May you be blessed with family that surrounds you and may your hearts be filled with good thoughts and the real story of Christmas, Luke chapter 2. There were in the same country.

I worked today and will work on Christmas Eve from 8 AM- 5PM. M. Caplette owner of the pharmacy is supplying a lunch that day and all working or not are invited (truly a class act)

On Christmas day I have been invited to break bread (with cooked meatballs  ) to Rolanda's & Gord’s. They have been up against it for a bit but their faith in God will see them through. I have been assured that I will be permitted to recite the Christmas story. Thank-you.

On the 27th (yet another day off) I am off to the Brookes family home where again I will read the Christmas story this is as I guess a thirty year tradition

In closing may you be filled with warmth and a full tummy.

Merry Christmas to all and to all…….

Thought for the day

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it
shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

R.I.P.

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die. Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood.

For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, as he probably had a hard day. Don't discuss your problems with him, it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim. If you can do this for the next ten months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."

On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say?"

"You're going to die," she replied.

The Ballot Site

Today is Election Day in Quebec. While the numbers are not in yet chances are that voter turn out will be low (maybe some apathy involved) But it’s also -14.
There are many ways to vote: Advance polls, and long distance voting (as in our snowbirds) Of course there is also voting day, but its -14.
Here’s a wild thought lets find a way we could vote on line. There area gazillion computer geeks out there at least one of them should be able to come up with a secure way to perform this feat.
If you don’t have access to a computer then there’s always one of the alternate methods.
Voting on line could also provide governments with sample plebiscites.
I voted at the advance polls but then again it wasn’t -14
Apathy rules but technology may wedge the soiled masses. (That even sounds rude)

A Joke for You

Little Johnny sees his father's car passing the playground and going into the woods. Curious, he follows the car and sees Daddy and Aunt Jane kissing. Johnny finds this so exciting and can barely contain himself as he runs home and starts to tell his mother excitedly.

"Mommy, Mommy! I was at the playground and Daddy and . . ."

His mother tells him to slow down, but that she wants to hear the story. So Johnny tells her. "I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went to look and Daddy was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt, then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take off his pants, then Aunt Jane laid down on the seat, then Daddy . . ."

At this point, his mother cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is such an interesting story. Supposed you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight."

At the dinner table, Johnny's mother asks him to tell his story. He describes the car going into the woods, the undressing, the laying down on the seat, and then he said, "Then Daddy and Aunt Jane did the same thing Mommy and Uncle Jeff used to do when Daddy was in the Army!"
