We all need a lift sometimes. One of my cats had to be put to sleep yesterday. Then, this morning I got this email from a friend. How she knew I needed a lift, I'll never know. Sometimes, good things happen in life, too.

Some of these are priceless. I hope they give you a lift, too.


WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.


WOMEN'S REVENGE

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.


MARRIAGE SEMINAR

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,
Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
He addressed the man,
"Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?


CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cottonballs and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, "You see, it's like this,yesterday, I sent my wife to the store
to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco
and some rollingpapers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)


WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."


WORDS

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"


CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!


WHO DOES WHAT

A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says ........."HEBREWS"


The Silent Treatment

A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:0 0 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM."He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.


God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece

Thank you DVS for the laugh and I most definitely needed it (it has been a horrid week and I have figured out real quick I am not into doing a death watch no matter how stoic I may be). Am so sorry to hear about your kitty passing.

~hugs

I'm so sorry about your cat, DVS... thank you for passing on a few smiles. :)
 
I am sorry to hear about your cat. I am glad a friend lifted you up! I love all of my friends!
 
LOL I personally needed that pickmeup. Sorry about your kitty.
 
Losing a kitty is a terrible thing. I'm so sorry DVS

*HUG*

If my little Star died, I'm honestly not sure I could handle it or another loss.

She is my heart.
 
im glad these made you feel better DVS, ad kierea as well.

i got a laugh out of them
 
My condolences on the loss of your pet, DVS... the fuzzy little buggers manage to worm their way into our hearts and lives all out of proportion to their size...

{{{{{GUYHUG}}}}} *being all manly and stuff!*
 
So genuinely sorry about your cat DVS :rose:

As for the email it was funny , thank you. I have to wonder what might have happened to the final note in The Silent Treatment story if a dominant had been involved. Boy ohhhh boy. : bites lip :

If a dominant had been involved, there would have been another note after the "it's 5:00" note. It would have said something like "your ass is grass, and I'm the lawnmower" or something else cute like that.

Thanks to everybody, about my cat. His name was Heyou. Never could think of a name for him, so I was always calling him "Hey, you". The name stuck.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your four-legged companion, DVS. I have to echo what EG said that they do tend to worm their way into your heart (I have two hounds that are getting long in the tooth and know THE DAY is coming with them).

Thank you for yet another potential scenario I had yet to consider DVS.

Not sure the average alarm clock employed would actually .............nevermind :)

I have NO comment on that, and I can't speak for EG.

YOU INSTIGATOR!!!! :devil:
 
Hi DVS,

I just wanted to say that I am very sorry about your cats. I have two now and lost several over the years, so my heart is definitely with you.

{{{{ HUGS }}}}

(If I may be so bold!)

Your stories made me LOL!

Definitely a great "starter" for my first day back at work.

:catgrin: Neon
 
I'm sorry to hear about your cat, DVS.

I needed this like you can't imagine. Today, I saw my separated husband's new house. With pictures of his girlfriend and HER son ALL over the place. No pictures of OUR son. It killed me when I first learned of her existance, but replacing our son with hers really did me in today.
