Joke and a note...

I didn't end up going away this morning so my posts will continue this week. My dad had
emergency surgery yesterday. He has 90% blockage on both sides of his heart and had a
stent put in on one side. He will have another put in on Thursday. He is in ICU and is doing
as well as to be expected. He is 81. If you are the praying type, I would appreciate your
prayers. I will keep you updated. Thanks!! Val =/


Three Wishes

"What a rip off," she thought walking down the beach. "The judge must have been
in cahoots with the creep." Then the recently divorced gal spied an old lamp on
the shore...

"Can't be...", She muttered, but what the heck. Picking up the lamp she rubbed it
to a dull shine and sure enough, a genie suddenly towered over her frail form.
However, he cautioned her that because he does not believe in divorce, he will
give her ex-husband ten times the amount of whatever she wishes.

"Even the dern genie is on the creep's side," she thought as her anger burned.
Nonetheless, she makes her first wish for million dollars. Her glee is tempered
by the genie's reminder that her ex now has 10 million.

The woman can barely contain her anger when she makes her second wish - for
a beautiful mansion on the shore of her own private beach. Instantly she found
herself standing on the landing of a lovely mansion. Again, however, the great
blue imp reminds her that her ex-husband now owns ten of what she has just
received.

Hearing this, she takes her time to mull over her final request. Just as the genie
was about to give up on her, the woman informs him that she's ready with one last
wish. Again, the genie cautions her that her ex-husband will get ten times what
she wishes for.

"Wonderful," she said as a grin graced her features... "For my last wish ...
I'd like to give birth to twins!"
