A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana and sits down. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer. The bartender approaches and says, "We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings."
The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer. The bartender tells him again, more forcefully, "We don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings."
The bear, very angry now, says, "If you don't serve me a beer, I'm going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar." The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings."
The bear goes to the end of the bar, and, as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer. The bartender states, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings who are on drugs."
The bear says, "I'm NOT on drugs."
The bartender says, "You are now. That was a bar*****youate."
A guy walks into a bar with a monkey on his shoulder.
As he approaches the bar, he grabs the cue ball off of the pool table. He says to the bartender "I bet you this monkey can swallow this cue ball whole..." Bartender says, "you're on", at which the monkey promptly swallows the cue ball.
A week or so later the same guy walks in with his monkey and sits down. The monkey promptly starts for the bowl of peanuts, picks one up, sticks it in his butt, then eats it. This goes on for a while and finally the bartender comes over and says, "that is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, why is that monkey doing that?"
The man reply's " Ever since the cue ball incident, he sizes everything he eats."
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you".
She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"
"OK" the nun says, "Pull into the next alley." The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush, but when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?" "Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied.
I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish.
" The nun says, "That's OK, my name is Ken and I'm going to a Halloween party."

A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the *!@$ light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS DAMNED HOUSE!
Much of what you think you need, you can easily do without. Much of what you think you want, you would quickly tire of if you had it.
It is great to be inspired and motivated by your desires. Just don't let yourself become imprisoned by them.
When things do not go your way, it's not the end of the world. There is always a way to move forward.
When you fail to get what you want, consider that it just might be a blessing. It's entirely likely that today's disappointment will set the stage for tomorrow's magnificent victory.
In any case, real, lasting fulfillment never comes from merely getting what you want. If you connect happiness and fulfillment only to outside events, you're sure to be chronically disappointed.
Instead, focus on being the best you can be, on how you can make a positive difference in life. And you'll soon have more than you could ever want.
In the next five minutes, you can be living in a brighter, more positive world.
In the next five minutes, a dreary day can be transformed into a day filled with positive promise.
How can this happen? It can happen because of you.
It doesn't take much to brighten your world. Yet it can make a tremendous positive difference for you and for those around you.
A smile is a good way to start. A kind word, a helpful act, some real patience and understanding will add to the brightness.
Brighten your world just a little bit, and that brightness will be reflected more than you might imagine. Send out your own special goodness today, and it will come back in even greater measure.
You don't have to be stuck with a day that's going nowhere. Take a little time, make a little effort, brighten your world and see just how quickly things improve.
Many overweight people use food to comfort themselves.
After all, food is something we cannot live without, and it’s one of the primary ways for people and families to connect with one another. The only trouble is, it can become a substitute for love, affection, and coping skills.
Think of some ways you could comfort yourself, other than by eating. Here’s a starter list: hug yourself or another person, take a hot bath, stroke your face or pat yourself on the arm, tell yourself that you’re good and that you love yourself, think of 4 good things about yourself, or finish some work you’ve been avoiding and then reward yourself with a short walk. Worship and spiritual practices can be a source of great comfort, too.
Put your beliefs into action. Practice stillness, gratitude, and service to others in need of comfort, and God will alleviate your troubles and comfort you.
There are many positive ways to get real comfort. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that overeating is either good or comforting. ----------------------------------------
