BIRD CRIME

Message from my daughter:
This attempted car theft was thwarted by me the other day

HOME AGAIN

ANNIE GOT HOME YESTERDAY FROM 3 WEEKS IN TROIS-EPIS.
SHE LOST 2 1/2 klg.
IT TOOK 6 HOURS FROM DOOR TO DOOR EVEN WITH THE NEW TGV FROM STRAUSBURG , WHICH IS 2H 20MIN. IT WAS LATE OF COURSE. A PLANE WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER.
ANYWAY SHE BROUGHT ME 3 FRESHLY MADE PRETZELS FROM ALSACE....MMMMNNN.

WRONG!!!!!!

THEY TASTED JUST AS BAD AS THE ONES I MADE.

THEY ARE NOT WHAT I REMEMBERED WHEN I WAS THERE.

OH WELL, I REALLY HAVE TO GO TO PARIS AND GET THEM AT THE GERMAN STORE NEAR THE GARE D'EST.

YOU JUST CAN'T WIN.

PRETZELS

BORED BEING HOME ON SICK LEAVE, I DECIDED TO TRY THE RECEIPE FOR PRETZELS ANNIE SENT ON A POSTCARD. I USED THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS AND WHEN THEY WERE DONE THIS IS THE RESULT. I FOUND THEM TOO SWEET . I THINK THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR IN THE RECIEPE WAS TOO MUCH. THEY WERE JUST OK. STILL NOT A PRETZEL LIKE I REMEMBER .

IT NEVER FAILS

I HAVE ONLY 1 MONTH LEFT TO WORK, THEN IT'S RETIREMENT.

YESTERDAY ON MY LUNCH TOUR I FELL AND SOME PEOPLE HELPED ME UP.

MY LEG HURT AND MY ARM WAS SCRAPPED BUT I FINISHED THE DAY. AS THE EVENING PROGRESSED I HURT MORE AND MORE AND HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING UP FROM A SITTING POSITION. TODAY I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO WORK.

I WENT TO THE DR AT 5PM AND LOW AND BEHOLD NOTHING BROKEN. BUT I HAD A STRETCHED TENDON IN MY RIGHT LEG. SHE GAVE ME AN ARRET DE TRAVAIL TILL TUESDAY. ON MONDAY I WILL GO BACK TO SEE HER AND I SHOULD BE BETTER BY THEN. REST REST IS ALL I NEED.....



I COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE END OF THE MONTH WITHOUT SOMETHING HAPPENING.

FLASH INFO FROM THE NEW GOVERNMENT

ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS HAVE GONE UP 10% AND 8% RESPECTIVLY THIS PAST YEAR IN FRANCE.
THE NEWLY APPOINTED MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION HAS A NEW IDEA ON HOW TO MAKE THESE FIGURES DROP.
HE IS GOING TO SUPRESS THE SIGNS TELLING YOU THERE IS RADAR UP AHEAD. WOW! WHAT A GREAT IDEA. IN FRANCE THE FIXED RADARS ARE ALL SHOWN SO THE MOTORIST KNOWS WHEN TO SLOW DOWN, AND AFTERWARDS SPEEDS UP LIKE THE MANIAC HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

WHAT BULL SHIT!
IT TOOK THEM THIS LONG TO FIGURE OUT THAT IF YOU KNOW WHERE THE RADAR IS, YOU ARE CAREFUL.
EVEN WITH THAT ASSININE SYSTEM THEY GIVE THOUSANDS OF SPEEDING TICKETS EACH YEAR. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE FRENCH MENTALITY.

I REST MY CASE!

GONE FOR 3 WEEKS

THIS MORNING ANNIE LEFT TO TAKE THE TRAIN TO ALSACE.

SHE WILL BE AT

: CENTRE MEDICAL LES 3 EPIS

: SQUARE MARCEL RIVIERE

: 68410 TROIS-EPIS

I CALL IT THE "FAT FARM" , SINCE I WENT THERE SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO LOOSE WEIGHT.

SHE NEEDS TO LOOSE WEIGHT TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON HER BACK WHICH CAUSES HER TO BE IN CONSTANT PAIN.

I HOPE I SURVIVE FOR 3 WEEKS WITHOUT HER.

NOONE TO TELL ME I FORGOT TO SHUT THE RED LIGHT ON THE TV

NOONE TO TELL ME I WET THE WOOD ON THE CUBARDS

NOONE TO TELL ME TO PUT THE SOUND DOWN ON THE TV

AND NOONE TO TELL ME TO HANG UP MY CLOTHES.



I LIVED A LIVE OF A SINGLE GUY FROM 1978 TO 1991, AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT I CAN SURVIVE. BUT I'VE BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A HUSBAND AND HAVE NO BRAIN ANYMORE
