Magic in a New Bracelet Follows Today' Pun

Today's pun  is # 19 in the series of dry humor. And here it is :

"When a clock is hungry , it goes back four seconds."

 

In the scheme of things, there has been times when  my wisdom  wasn't sure if the fates had worked a wonder here or here. But, lately, my thinking has changed a bit with all that is going on in the world. 

Several weeks ago, there came to me an introduction to check out a product that was doing great things in Kenya for women. Naturally, my thoughts were that  if this was true, supporting such a project would be something that was not all that far out of reach. It seems that a tribe in Kenya, Africa was making jewelry, shoes and the like,selling them and taking the profits to helping other women earn money to do a host of good things in their community. The man that introduced me (and many others) is from Austin, Texas.

Over a period of a few day, time was found to check out the selection of items.  It didn't take me long to come across one of the bracelets. It was small, not overbearing and best of all---it was on sale. So, an order went in for the bracelet item. Within six days, it arrived. Putting it on, it was light enough to not be a distraction. The first week it wore very well. Then, time constraints took most of my idol time away from the bracelet and directed it to more pressing matters. 

At the beginning of the second week of wear, there was a noticeable change in my thinking. Over the years, following my sons death, a level of hate had built up. Hate might have been a strong word to use there. It was more of an internal anger---a stage of grief--- theoretically. It was a bit of surprise internally that after 23 years since my son's death, there was that thinking inside. Especially after the protracted period of formal mourning had lasted for 20-years. Terms had been reached to end that mourning period and begin to move on although never forgetting him for his life and accomplishments by the age of 27. My thinking was that it had ended. But, this little bracelet that simply said, "LET GO" had quickly brought me to the conclusion that there wasn't that anger in my voice when  talking with people that seemed to have ruffled by feathers the wrong way. 

In the past two days, there has been other examples that have been a wake up call for me. Don't you see, for 10 years after college I had consoled people professionally, who needed help to change their lives where they were doing the same thing that had grown unnoticed inside me. Every one has their own time table to resolve their grief, For me, my time took 23 years and a little bracelet to show the way.

 

After a long session with the Cardio Man, Pun # 18

 Pun # 18 follows:

"Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft,and I'll show you a flat minor."

Pun # 17 . Check out Maestro Pelicanus conducting the White Rock Symphony and Chorus.

 

Pun # 17  goes like this:  " With her marriage, she got a new name and a  dress." 

Shopped at Hong Kong Market Today. Also,#16 pun.

 It has been several years since shopping there. My taste buds for  Chinese food has a long history. I do cook Chinese dishes. This past weekend, I broke my rice ladle. Hong Kong didn't have the old type in stock, but luck was on my side. A new stainless steel ladle (not anything like a soup ladle BTW) became part of my dinner tonight .It was egg noodles which I used my new ladle to dish them. It was way better than the plastic one that broke.

Funny thing is that I have a friend from Hong Kong with the name TO. The lady that checked me out was also a TO. I'm sure that she was no relations to my To. Here in the states To, and I live 1200 miles apart, but  as Sophia on the old "Golden Girls" show oftentimes said, "you never know". And you don't. So the next time going there to shop, I will find out if she has relatives in the Great Lakes.

Now, today's pun # 16 already goes like this:" If you don't pay your exorcist, you get repossessed."

"No commercial airlines has more heart than Southwest.So, these signs were just to gain attention,for me."

The shoot was a real live news feed and it was picked up by the Europeans Press for photos.

Happy Labor Day in the US

 Today's pun, #15, is this: " A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion."

Great Lunch with Brother and Sister-in-law.

 Ate to much good food.  Now, it's time for # 14 Pun in the series, which is going to be shorter than anticipated. It seems that some of the first page of puns is repeated as page 3. AARGH! Sorry, 'bout that.

Pun # 14:  

" In democracy your vote counts. In feudalism your count votes." 

Must Be Doing Something Right!

Someone tried to throw me a curve this morning. 

 So, I prayed for them to give up their hate!

Giggle Time

It's time for a little giggle!

Ready? Here is pun #10.

"A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tired".

Check out the image in the middle between the two pumpkins. The flag at half staff is a bank. The Flag  at full stall is a US Post Office. 

The point  to be made here is this: What ever happened to the President being the only one that could order flags to fly at half staff.  I grew up under that rule.  When three flags fly---the President would order the federal flag to fly at half mask. But the state and company would also be lowered  to half staff. If a company flag is lowered to half mast, then the other two remain at full staff. But, under no circumstances should either the state or a company flag fly higher than the US Flag.

I took the time to ask the manager at the Bank of America why their flag was at half staff and the US Post Office was at full staff. In short, the Bank flag (also a US FLag)  should be at half staff along with the US Flag.He said that the property manager determined when the flag was lowered. Hince the heck with the President of the US. it seems. Point made. 

Every one talks about rules. And it seems that people do what they want. And of course you  can't count on social media to know what it was like in the early 1950 when every one respected the US Flag. It also seems to me (1960's was warning about the future generations not getting oral history passed alone from their parents) never did get passed alone. 

I once ask someone, who died and pointed to a similar situation like this and no one knew. Another point made. Everyone talkes about their freedom and the like but do they really know what freedom is?
