The Ponds of Life In my dreams, I dived into the shallow end of the pond. I let myself float, closing my eyes in tranquility. I heard the melodies of my children. I heard the whispers of my loves. And on I floated.. feeling the waves caress me. Some were rough.. the memories of them brought tears to my eyes. Some were warm.. The memories seemed to burn my heart with love. I knew that our lives float on the ponds of life. And I floated on.. peace and turmoil encircled me through my memories. I knew that my life was rivulets of every emotion.. And my prayer would be that joy would awaken me in the morning. I hope you like my poem. This is what I do and what I love.

  • Do you fish on Fridays?

    A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married.

    She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

    Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

    The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?'

    The husband thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.'

  • Have you ever heard of a praying parrot?

    A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a

    problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."

    "What do they say?" the priest inquired.

    They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"

    "That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a

    moment. "You know", he said, "I may have a solution to your problem.

    I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and

    read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Job. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying... that phrase...in no time."

    "Thank you", the woman responded, "this may very well be the

    solution."

    The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them. After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"

    There was stunned silence. Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, "Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered."

    Ramblings of a Retired Mind

    I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.

    You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

    I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!

    I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'

    I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.

    I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

    When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'

    Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!

    Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do...write to these men?

    Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

    I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.

    As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

  • A very hard riddle. Can you solve it?

    Blue Eyes:

    The Hardest Logic Puzzle in the World

    A group of people with assorted eye colors live on an island. They are all perfect logicians -- if a conclusion can be logically deduced, they will do it instantly. No one knows the color of their eyes. Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island. If anyone has figured out the color of their own eyes, they [must] leave the island that midnight. Everyone can see everyone else at all times and keeps a count of the number of people they see with each eye color (excluding themselves), but they cannot otherwise communicate. Everyone on the island knows all the rules in this paragraph.

    On this island there are 100 blue-eyed people, 100 brown-eyed people, and the Guru (she happens to have green eyes). So any given blue-eyed person can see 100 people with brown eyes and 99 people with blue eyes (and one with green), but that does not tell him his own eye color; as far as he knows the totals could be 101 brown and 99 blue. Or 100 brown, 99 blue, and he could have red eyes.

    The Guru is allowed to speak once (let's say at noon), on one day in all their endless years on the island. Standing before the islanders, she says the following:

    "I can see someone who has blue eyes."

    Who leaves the island, and on what night?

    There are no mirrors or reflecting surfaces, nothing dumb. It is not a trick question, and the answer is logical. It doesn't depend on tricky wording or anyone lying or guessing, and it doesn't involve people doing something silly like creating a sign language or doing genetics. The Guru is not making eye contact with anyone in particular; she's simply saying "I count at least one blue-eyed person on this island who isn't me."

    And lastly, the answer is not "no one leaves."

    I've done my best to make the wording as precise and unambiguious as possible (after working through the explanation with many people), but if you're confused about anything, please let me know. A word of warning: The answer is not simple. This is an exercise in serious logic, not a lateral thinking riddle. There is not a quick-and-easy answer, and really understanding it takes some effort.

    by Abbott and Costello

    A Word-for-Word Transcript

    Abbott: Well Costello, I'm going to New York with you. You know Bucky Harris, the Yankee's manager, gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team.

    Costello: Look Abbott, if you're the coach, you must know all the players.

    Abbott: I certainly do.

    Costello: Well you know I've never met the guys. So you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who's playing on the team.

    Abbott: Oh, I'll tell you their names, but you know it seems to me they give these ball players now-a-days very peculiar names.

    Costello: You mean funny names?

    Abbott: Strange names, pet names...like Dizzy Dean...

    Costello: His brother Daffy.

    Abbott: Daffy Dean...

    Costello: And their French cousin.

    Abbott: French?

    Costello: Goofè.

    Abbott: Goofè Dean. Well, let's see, we have on the bags, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third...

    Costello: That's what I want to find out.

    Abbott: I say Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third.

    Costello: Are you the manager?

    Abbott: Yes.

    Costello: You gonna be the coach too?

  • A beautiful thought. Don't you think so?

    I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.

    He often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look fo r something special. I knew what he was up to.. I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands.

    He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since he had passed on.

    Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two.

    Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how he had loved his steak.

    Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her bas ket.. hesitated, and the n put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks.

    She saw me watching her and she smiled. 'My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know.'

    I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.

    'My husband passed away eight days ago,' I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. 'Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.'

    She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away.

    I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream.. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone.

    I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile! I had ever seen. I would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine.

    As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. 'These are for you,' she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. 'When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for.' She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision.

    I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone.

    Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears in my eyes. H e was still with me, a nd she was his angel.

    Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are.

    This is a simple request. If you appreciate life, send this to your friends, including the person that sent it to you.

    Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

    Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible. Thank you, Lord , that I can see. Many are blind.

    Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

    Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud.

    Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

    Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazine s and the menu is at times unbalanced.

    Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

    Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

    Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest...

    Thank you, Lord, for life.

    Pass this on to the friends you know. It might help a bit to make this world a better place to live, right? A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone to treasure.

    For friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with Beauty, Joy and Grace and makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

    YOU ARE MY FRIEND!

    God bless you and yours.

  • Do you think this is funny?

    Tiff With Riley

    ''My God! What happened to you?'' the bartender asked Kelly as he hobbled in on a crutch, one arm in a cast.

    ''I got in a tiff with Riley.''

    ''Riley? He's just a wee fellow,'' the barkeep said, surprised. ''He must have had something in his hand.''

    ''That he did,'' Kelly said. ''A shovel it was.''

    ''Dear Lord. Didn't you have anything in your hand?''

    ''Aye, that I did -- Mrs. Riley's left boob.'' Kelly said. ''And a beautiful thing it was, but not much use in a fight.''

  • Who is hard of hearing?

    State Trooper

    A state trooper pulls a car over for speeding. In the car is an old lady who is hard of hearing and her husband.

    When the trooper asks the lady for her driver's license the lady responds, “Heh, what did he say?”

    The old man speaks up as he says, “HE NEEDS YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.”

    A few minutes later the trooper comes back to the car and says, “Ma'am I see you're from Florida.”

    The old lady comments, “Heh, what did he say?”

  • A love poem I wrote. Do you like it?

    Your Paradox

    i have felt the torrent of merciless rivers flowing from your lips...

    crashing against me from your paradoxical deep

    i cling to tides anchored by illusion

    holding on to the lifeboat of neverending promises

    holding on with everything i've got

    ignoring the agonized echoes of your maybes which become my nevers

    still your essence ignite fires within me

    raging so uncontrollably even the iceberg which is you cannot extinguish

    i find myself lost within your merciless rivers

    crashing against me from your ambiguous deep

    and these moments found using weighted dice lets me know i have lost all wagers

    as i drown in your muddy water from sweet suffocation

  • What would you do?

    I have been in a very loving relationship for over 6 years now. I have worked as a casino dealer for over 13 years. After great sorrow in my life the last 2 years I want a change. I have decided to try to get a job on a cruise ship as a casino dealer. I would be away form my fiance for 5 months at a time. He doesn't really want me to go but what I love most about him is he wouldn't stop me if it made me happy. I want something different but I'm afraid of messing up a wonderful relationship with my man. What would you do?

  • A poem I wrote in dedication to our soldiers. Do you like it?

    Title: War of the Soul

    they fight for freedom..

    on bitter fields and in dark bushes..

    where our young learn of a cold world

    with guns thrust into willing hands..

    to fight the good fight

    and when the life blood of them..

    have been squeezed and wrung from them,

    we sigh and cry for their lives..lost

    and loves left behind to mourn for life

    so abruptly ended

    while in our hearts mind,

    we whisper unspoken thoughts..

    thoughts that seem to chap our lips

    as they pass through our mind..

    So, we venture to imagine a world..

    that is somehow different from reality..

    thinking to ourselves, ' what the world needs now..

    is love sweet love ', not war.. not death..

    only a gentle kindness..

    dreaming of the day when our youth

    will not carry the guns of life..

    yet they will be armed

    with the ammunition to shoot stars,,

    armed with the ammunition to kill despondence..

    and win the wars of the soul.

  • Heres one more. Tell me if you like it.?

    Title: In That Sweet Mood

    Wonderful warmth flowing through my soul

    I'm in that sweet mood

    Where mellow jazz float gently in the air

    Caressing me with soft notes

    Filling me with gentle sighs

    Crackling like flickering flame from a fireplace

    I sit and sip from my cup of life

    And peace envelopes me

    Wonderful warmth flowing through my soul

    I'm in that sweet mood
