TAKE THE BOOK QUIZ...THESE ARE MY RESULTS

You're One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!

by Ken Kesey

You're crazy. This has led people to attempt to confine you to a safe
place so that you don't pose a danger to yourself or others. You feel like you pose a
great danger to the man (or maybe the woman) or whatever else is keeping you down. But
most of the time, you just end up being observed. Were you crazy before you were
confined?

NOTHING MUCH TO SAY

I HURT ALL OVER
MY EYES
MY FINGERS
MY BACK
MY HIPS
I'VE BEEN COMING DOWN WITH SOMETING FOR 4 DAYS NOW
I HAVE BEEN FORCING MYSELF TO EAT JUST SO I CAN TAKE MY MEDICINE
I SLEEP BADLY
I DO MY JOB HURTING AND WAITING FOR THE BREAKS BETWEEN TOURS
THE WEEKEND IS HERE AND I CAN REST FOR 2 DAYS
I HATE THIS FEELING!

SO MUCH FOR THE NICE DAY

AT LUNCH TIME THE SKY GOT GREY,
THERE WAS A BREEZE AND THE AIR GOT CHILLY.

IT THEN STARTED TO DRIZZLE.

LATER AT ABOUT 1 P.M. IT RAINED...LIGHT RAIN,
BUT RAIN.

THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT IT WAS THE "SPRING RAIN SMELL"

CHEERFUL THOUGHTS

WELL BACK TO WORK THIS MORNING ON A MILD SPRING DAY.
LOTS OF GAMINS BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER THE WEEKEND.
GOT SOME BISOUS FROM 2 LITTLE PIXIES AND IT BROUGHT A SMILE
TO MY FACE.

SOME MORNINGS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS....

THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE MORNINGS !

GRANNIE SWINGING

TESTING HAMMOCK

RELAXING

THE NEW HAMMOCK WE BOUGHT LAST SUMMER HAS A
PLACE IN THE SUN.
THE WEATHER WAS SUMMERY THIS WEEKEND AND WE ENJOYED THE GARDEN.

OF COURSE THE WIFE DID TOO MUCH AGAIN AND SHE IS NOW WALKING LIKE A CRIPPLE,
BUT SHE IS FRENCH AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REALLY RELAX.
WE ARE BOTH FALLING APART AT THE SEAMS!!!!!!

SOME PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID, THEY SHOULD

BE SENT TO A DESERT ISLAND TO LIVE ALONE

CHARITY CASE

TODAY WHILE WAITING TO GET OUT OF MY CAR TO STAND AT MY POST,
A GRAND DAD KNOCKED ON MY WINDOW TO ASK IF I WANTED THE COAT HE
HAD IN HIS HAND.

IT WAS A NICE IMITATION LEATHER (PLASTIC) COAT.
I SAID I HAD PLENTY ,
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO TOSS IT ,
BUT HE THOUGHT OF ME WORKING OUTDOORS.
I SAID I'M TOO BIG BUT HE SAID IT WAS REALLY LARGE.
SO I TOOK IT TO APPEASE HIM.
IT WAS A 2XX AND JUST ABOUT FIT ME.
HAS NICE ZIPPERS AND COAT HOOKS ON IT I COULD USE IF I CUT IT UP.

WELL...I'M NOW A BONIFIDED CHARITY CASE...

YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT WE EARNED LAST YEAR...WOW...NOT BAD FOR A CHARITY CASE.
