I had some wonderful news today that made me smile. I posted a week or so ago about my 36 year old son's health problems over the past month, including having a cerebral infarction (stroke). His latest blood results are fantastic and he's no longer at imminent risk of another stroke. His balance is better too, and he even agreed to use the funky black walking stick I got him. Feeling so much more optimistic!

Very good news indeed.

Two Sisters who came from L.A.
Thought they'd had enough school for the day
So although they were nuns
They just "borrowed" the funds
And flew off to Las Vegas to play......
The Monsignor, a little shellshocked,
said their access to funding was blocked
"Well they just fed the slots
'till they hit a jackpot
And at least neither one was unfrocked!!"
The Bishop said "It's just outrageous
That these two could fly to Las Vegas.
The idea that they'd scramble
To Nevada to gamble -
I just hope that it isn't contagious"
But his prayers, it would seem, went unheard
Or the meaning at least became blurred
For this evening, the Papa,
With a bottle of Grappa,
Arrived on the strip with his "bird"!!!

I see your time in a Catholic school was well spent...

LiW, your eagerly awaited contribution?

Flushed with pride at my recent success in changing a headlight bulb for the first time (thankyou Mr Policeman for pointing that out - it's improved night-time driving no end
), I thought I'd have a go at another annoying little problem. The thingy on the top of the gear stick is loose when at the right angle for the hand but at the wrong angle for the hand when tightened. Searching about to see if there's an easy fix, I hop in to a thread on a motoring forum where said problem seems to be under discussion and get sidetracked into wondering what the **** dotted through the first and subsequent posts means. Took me a while to realise the bleedin' obvious - it was "knob"! There's a forum where car maintenance is discussed but you can't say "knob" 
I would write in to tell them I'm surprised they've got any members but that'd probably be censored too.

What a bunch of dip sticks..
You need to find the x rated forums. I read them out to M when he is searching for answers. Some of them I hilarious!


There was a young brother from Bruff
Who considered the hurling too rough
Being struck by a sliotar
Had left him quite bitter
And he squealed out "Now bhoys, dat's enough!"
Thank God I discovered Rugby!
