Timmy's not due back for another week yet. But tomorrow (5th) is his birthday, so if we all keep pushing this back to the top with a good wish it should be able to serve as both a welcome home gift and a belated birthday present. Happy Birthday, Timmy - and welcome home!

I **like** people born on 5th August! My wife was born on 5th August!
The more I learn about Timmy the more I like what I know.
Love,
Anthony

It's Hell to get Old
Older people have problems that I haven't
even considered yet!
An 85-year-old man was requested by his
doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow."
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave himthe jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.
The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, "Well, doc, it's like this--firstI tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.
"Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with herleft, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then withher teeth out, still nothing.
"We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing."
The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?"
The old man replied, "Yep, that's right, and none of us could get that damn jar open." ;-D

Dear Jon,
It really isn't as bad as you think! If you have nothing to do you can just sit and think about all the things that have happened to you and the friends you have made and the people you have loved and the things that interested you and how they turned out. It's a pity I can't run as I used to or see as well as I used to but I can watch my grandchildren discovering the joys of doing new things and even help them a bit.
And it doesn't seem to make any difference whether they are MY grandchildren or other people's. On Sunday Sylvia's brother is coming to see us with his two sons and his four grandchildren and it is to be combined with Anna's tenth birthday (which is really on Monday 11th) and if the weather is kind we will have a barbecue. And I shall spend the afternoon getting to know all these people a bit better than I do already and enjoying their company.
And I don't have to earn my living any more (you have no idea how marvellous that is) and I can wear outrageous clothes and when people laugh at me I can laugh back.
And I can spend as long as I like on sites like this, or as little and I can go boating when I like and play croquet when I like and... and...
Do I need to go on?
Love,
Anthony

Yes, but if we lived our lives backwards we'd end it with an orgasm. Something to ponder.

Dear Jon,
Nope, not an orgasm. Even the RCs don't think life begins before fertilisation. And it may take many orgasms to achieve one fertilisation (and I suppose it is best if the orgasms come in pairs - shouldn't they all?).
And you know the second law of thermodynamics:
You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
And that is also the reason you can't live life backwards!
Love,
Anthony

Apologies, Timmy!
I seem to have hi-jacked your 'welcome home' and converted the subject into something altogether more ecstatic! Dare I say 'Have one on me!'
Love,
Anthony

Cool present. Please do not gift wrap!
You have no idea how tired I am or what faced us when we got home! The builder had a nervous breakdown and our house is unusable. I have been awake for about 36 hours, no, more!
More when I have recovered my sanity!

Sorry to hear you've had such a ruff time of it on your return. I really hope things resolve them selves quickly! Hugs
People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other's just come to harm

Hm
sounds like a typical UK Type builder.
Rule (1). never go and leave a builder unsupervised.
Rule (2) have a penalty clause in situ, if not and your not there they will do other work.

Wrong way round surely???? It's usually the client not the builder who has the nervous breakdown? Thats my experience with my new kitchen anyway!!

Well, I agree. But he did. And we almost could not get in through the front door. He'd filled our hallway with "stuff", our kitchen has no cooker in it, we have rubble everywhere, and we're still exhausted.
He WILL be here at 8am on Monday though. if not I will be at his home, sitting outside his door with the car airhorns running until he arrives at the door.
Fortunately I have someone who will take the job over if the worst comes to the worst.
