Why Worry?

Hello to all ~ I hope you are having a great week and that

things are going well for you. All is well here, thankfully.

Kathy went to the doctor today and got the stitches out

of her finger and more anti-biotics, so hope that does the

trick. She has to go back on Friday.

Today is my Dad’s birthday, so he has been on my mind. He

would be 95 today, but he died in 2001 aged 90. I remember

him telling me that he was 23 years old when I was born.

I still miss him and our visits there twice yearly. He and my

stepmother lived on the border of New South Wales and

Queensland, so it was a long way from here.

<><><><> Tonight's story is called WHY WORRY? <><><><>

There are only two things in life to worry about.

You’re either rich or you’re poor.

If you are rich, you’ve got nothing to worry about, and if you

are poor, there are still only two things to worry about.

<><><><><><>

You are either well, or you’re ill.

If you are well, you’ve got nothing to worry about, but if you

are ill, there are still only two things to worry about.

You’re either going to get better, or you’re not.

If you are going to get better, you’ve got nothing to worry

about, and if you’re not, there are still only two things to worry

about.

You’re either going up, or you’re going down.

If you are going up, you’ve nothing to worry about, and if you

are going down, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with old friends,

you won’t have any time to worry – so, Why Worry???

<><><><><><> And now some jokes etc. <><><><><><>

This one is a repeat, but one I think it’s funny.

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter.

Ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough

to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave,

because otherwise they were all going to fall.

<><><><><><><>

They weren’t able to name that person, until the woman gave

a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily

let go of the rope, because , as a woman, she was used to

giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in

general, and was used to making sacrifices with little in return.

<><><><><><><>

As soon as she had finished her speech, all the men started

clapping their hands….

<><><><><> This one is not very nice !! <><><><><>

A little fella walked into a pub and steps in a pile of dog poo.

His feet slip from under him and he crashes down heavily

on his back.

He gets up and staggers to the bar and rests there groggily with a stiff drink.

Just then, a big burly truckie walks in, stands in the same pile

and crashes down on his back.

The little fella says: “I just did that,”

So the truckie dropped him.
