The Doctor....

asked me after my check -up how I remained so fit for an eighty year old? I told him that I drink two glasses of wine every morning,smoke a  cigar and enjoy a round of golf with my father of a hundred years and grandfather of one hunderd and twenty years, except that my grand father was not playing with us this week as he was getting married."Good heavens at a hundred and twenty and he still wants to marry !" exclaims the doctor.I replied "Who said he wants to get married!"

The difference between.....

A good secretary and a great one! A good secretary will say  "Good morning mister Mullins" A great one will say "Gracious mister Mullins,is it morning already ? " Barry

SHLIPPING SHIDEWAYS!

REMEMBER TO LIVE BY THIS MOTTO:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body,but rather a sideways skid,chocolate in one hand,wine in the other,body thouroughly used up,totally worn out and screaming "woo
hoo! what a ride" - Naomi

Laziness is the only commodity   that even a millionaire can not afford!

Life goes on,as we find if we make an effort we have got the time to do the things we have to.I make a list of the essential things I have to do,then scratch off the items as they are done.I usually loose the list before I am finished,there by avoiding the most onerous tasks!
My neighbour decided he would put wood between his pallisades to make his yard more private.I decided that I would assist him as he had no one to help him.The first lesson we learnt was that neither of us are thirty years old any more.It took us  two exhausting days to finish.Looks professional.He was supposed to help me do the same at my house,how ever we have decided to wait at least a month to recover fully!

M T No 2

In marraige ,the centre of a womans happiness is to be loved.The center of a mans happiness is to be admired!
If u are wondering what M T stands for see last months title.
I own the 1949 version  of the "shorter Oxford Dictionary".Its over a thousand pages long,diffficult to handle.Now I wonder what the longer Oxford Dictionary was like?

MUDDLED THINKING NO1

Well the thought that comes back to me now is that "COMMON SENSE" is not that common.Why start a blog with this sentence. You might wll ask ,but when I read or read about the really stupid things people do at times,one wonders what possesed them !
Well speaking of which ,its amazing how  some of the populace of the world went to pieces about the "end of the world" which was supposed to have taken place on the 12/12/2012 !
Of course are we missing the point ,as each second past is the end of the world as such will never occur again!So we should enjoy everything as far as possible and surround ouselves with serenity and positive thoughts.

October Update

In China and Japan manufacturing is slowing appreciatably.This is leading to them using less pretroleum products.This is likely to finally have an effect upon pretroleum prices with a downward bias in a couple of months time if not sooner!
