I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie." However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes. If you look in my freezer now you'll see a whole new set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don't Know," "I Don't Care," "Something Good," or "Food." My frustration is now reduced because no matter what my husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting. __________________________________________________________ A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?" Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough." The little girl thought about it for a few moments and said, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?" ________________________________________________________   Darryl Machum Bighorn Ram.

Trying to placate her, the husband found a new apartment, within their budget. However, after the first week, she began complaining again. "Joel," she said, "I don't like this place at all. There are no curtains in the bathroom. The neighbors can see me every time I take a bath." "Don't worry." replied her husband. "If the neighbors do see you, then THEY will buy curtains." --------------- Did you miss the big fight? ___________________________________________________ Husband: Nancy and Mike make a perfect pair, don't you think?

Immediately pulling over to a scenic little spot he said to the young lady next to him, "That's funny, I wonder what that knocking noise was?"

In his haste, however, he forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce, and it sat on the counter all day. He was worried about spoilage, but it was too late to cook up another batch. He called the local Poison Control Center and voiced his concern. They advised Stumpy to boil the sauce again. That night, the phone rang during dinner, and a guest volunteered to answer it. Stumpy's face dropped as the guest called out, "It's the Poison Control Center. They want to know how the spaghetti sauce turned out." _____________________________________________________ Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter. Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger coworker to a foot race down the alley back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one. As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong. Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see two gas men running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too!" ___________________________________________________  DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Julie Re: Speed of money Dear Webby, what is the fastest way to send money these days?

The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary. Finally John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly open the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?" ___________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ Politics, n.

Scot Toski, 63, of 22235 General Street in West Boca Raton, has been arrested by the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office. Scot Toski was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail at 7:35 PM on Wednesday, March 8th, 2023. According to a heavily redacted arrest affidavit submitted by the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office, Toski is accused of using his cell phone to record a young girl while she was in the shower. The girl was using the shower when she said she saw a cell phone with the camera pointing at her. When she screamed Hey! the phone disappeared. PBSO was notified and investigated the incident. When detectives spoke to Toski he denied everything and showed investigators his phone which did not have any suspected images or videos of the incident. When investigators said they needed to take the phone as evidence, Toski became irate. Toski then became very uncooperative and abruptly ended the interview. Another person involved with Toski and the victim said she spoke to Toski who admitted to her that he did in fact film the young girl while she was in the shower. This person, who we will not identify in order to protect the identity of all parties, says Toski told her he was horny. Toski told the woman that he deleted the video prior to the investigators looking at his phone. Investigators note that no suspected videos or images from the alleged incident were found on Toskis phone or his Apple iCloud account. ________________________________________________ The Arkansas State Police received reports of illegal cock fights being held in the area around Caraway and duly dispatched the infamous Detective Sergeant "Paul" Desormeaux to investigate.
