~~~ I'd offered to drive my mother-in-law to the doctor's.
But when I arrived at her house, I found her gossiping away with a neighbor.
"Mom, we've got to go," I interjected, but she couldn't hear me over the chatter.
"Mom!" I repeated as I pulled her away."
Sorry, but I didn't know what to do," she said, getting into the car, "That woman wouldn't stop listening to me."

~~~ gardening and laughing are two of the best things in life you can do to promote good health and a sense of well being.
.
~~~ For our Sunday school pizza party, I had told the children they could bring a friend. Just before serving, one of the mothers asked if anyone had any allergies.
A little hand went up and, in a worried voice, five-year-old Shane said, "You're not going to try to feed me penicillin, are you?"
.
~~~ Marlene said: I was reminded of my younger days when I came across my charm bracelet one morning.
I decided to wear it to school, thinking it would do the same for some of my colleagues.
However, the bracelet fascinated my students.
One of my fifth grade students watched the shiny, jingling items on my wrist for a few minutes, then put his hand up and asked, "Are you on a major medical alert?"

~~~ The richest person in the world is not the one who still has the first dollar they ever earned. It's the person who still has their first friend."

~~~ A little girl from the city, seeing a horse being shod, rushed to her mother."Mother," she cried, "there's a man out there building a horse.
I just saw him nailing on the feet!"

~~~ Joseph Hyrtl (1810-1894), Austrian anatomist, professor of medicine at the University of Vienna, once examined a particularly nervous candidate for a medical degree:
"What can you tell me about the function of the spleen?" he began.
"Herr Professor," the candidate stammered, wiping his brow. "
I did know exactly what it was...I knew it just a moment ago, but I've now forgotten."
"Miserable creature!" Hyrtl cried.
"You're the only man in the world who knows anything about the function of the spleen...and now you've forgotten it!"
.
~~~ Seeking sponsorship for an expedition, famed Arctic explorer Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) once asked Prime Minister David Lloyd George (1863-1945) for fund-raising advice. Honored by the request, Lloyd George introduced him to a certain millionaire of his acquaintance.
Some time later, Lloyd George asked Shackleton how the meeting had gone.
"Very well indeed," the explorer replied, "your friend was most charming and considerate.
He offered me ten thousand pounds for my expenses, provided I would take you along with me to the Pole.
And he promised me one million pounds if I were to leave you there by mistake."
.
~~~ A few years ago, I opened the invitation to my cousin's 100th birthday party.
On the front in bold letters, it screamed, "If he's heard it once, he's heard it a hundred times. Happy Birthday, Harold!"
.
~~~ Approaching 40, my frugal husband yearned for a boat.
Frugality won out until the day he came across the obituary of an old high- school classmate, Ted.
Certain this was a sign that life was too short, my husband purchased a boat that weekend.
Days later, a former classmate called.
"Sure was a sad thing, wasn't it?" he said.
"You know, Ted's boating accident and all."

~~~ Have you heard of the garlic diet?
You don't lose much weight, but from a distance your friends think you look thinner.
