Way to go Gary!! You and Angie are such an inspiration to all of us! If it ever gets above freezing I want to start walking outside again!! Thanks for the boost I needed!!

HA!

Karen-I heard this joke once, but, I really like it in poetic verse much better. Good job!

Thanks, But I can't take the credit for it---- I jiust got it in an email and thought it was funny!

Sunny and cold here today-- 20 degrees!!

Karen, loved the poem.

Athenda, that joke is gross, but funny

Bill, Way to go on the 5K. loved the pics, you guys look fantastic

I love a good joke, tasteless, gross, dirty , whatever as long as it is funny. But the one about the baby was totally disgusting, sorry Athenda, gotta tell the truth.
Now, back to those gorgeous looking guys who apparently do not hang out in Santa Clara County, California.

Sorry, Bargoo, I'm in the middle of Graves. Two more then I'll start scanning the horizon for Hotties, since Bill and Gary won't help us out. They sure aren't in SLC either. 'Sides, if they get shown around here, someone gets excommunicated and their diploma taken away.

So...Why don't you sign up for next years race? I can't promise sun but the odds are always swinging that way here

Hummm....so Bill is getting credit for my 5K's now...hummm

I have hung out there over the years....guess you missed me

More bashing....you are mean

Here you go.... Glad you found the this thread!!

Thanks so much, Karen, for the welcome and the invitation to the thread for (Brassy) Golden Girls with pronounced funny bones. The link didn't come through but I will try to get there. I truly am an Accidental Tourist.

You are quite the intuitive lady! You figured out my philosophy using only two of my posts: I cannot live without laughter.

Laughter helps the medicine go down...and there are some HIDEOUSLY vile tinctures we "larger than life" women are tempted to swallow simply because Society tells us, "it's good for you."

Laughter is a camouflage suit hiding hard truths from us until we can bear for them to JUMP out of the bushes and ambush us with their realities. (Sort of like Guerilla Warfare for Girthy Girls!) Laughing is trooping off to the fat wars wearing a smiley face to mask the hurts and slights that disenfranchise us from the slim world. (But only until we are strong enough to defy anyone who dares mock or ridicule us because of our size. Genuine laughter NEVER hurts or victimizes.)

But most important, laughter is that sparkling, bubbling, happy sound that gurgles up from deep within us when we finally realize that we are perfect just as we are, worthy and deserving of unconditional love. Laughter is the "Hallelujah Chorus" sung in one part harmony when a Golden Girl realizes she is already 24 karat and that if she choses to lose weight she will simply be gilding the lily.

I am not acting the fool or playing at being a Totie Fields when I make silly remarks and laugh out loud (not at, but with others.) No...what I'm doing is reconstructive surgery--the painfull rebuilding of myself--under the gentle general anesthesia of humor, smiles, and laughter.

Thank you again, Karen, for acknowledging my love of lauhter as a good trait in me. (Though I promise to tone it down here at 3Cs.) Love your puppy pics--and now I'm off to find your elusive thread--or is it a needle in a haystack that I am after?!

GEMINI THE YOUNGER

Thank you so much, Karen! Now you're not only a tour guide, you're a Sorceress. I don't know how you made that post appear over here, but I'm certain it was via some secret alchemy!

Gemini the Younger

I'm getting a bit scared now....

Gary,
I am SOOOOOO sorry about the name mix-up.
It will never happen again
(That's what I get for trying to multi-task)

Carla

Who's "bashing"? I'm just saying, you and Bill can talk, but I don't see no pics, Watch Fob or Not.

Fun is fun and laughter is great but let's stay away from the edge, OK?

... 50 to go.

These last 50 posts are like losing those last 50 pounds, LOL.
