Hi Everyone ~~ Well my weekend is over as it’s Sunday
evening and it has been quite a nice couple of days. BUT
My football team, Carlton could not win - AGAIN !!
Thank Goodness there is more to life than football, but
it is a major source of entertainment. And disappointment.
There is always next year !!
<><><>
<><><> A story tonight called A Terrible Moment. <><><>
Her hair was in wild disorder. Her face was flushed, and her eyes flashing. She clenched and unclenched her fingers in
an agony of despair.
<><><>
Unless her looks belied her, she was a deeply injured and
desperate woman. Her indignation and anger were allied with
keen despondency.
“Cruel one; oh cruel one,” she cried, in anguished tones.
“I have borne with you too long ! You have injured me, you
have tortured me, and yet I could not bear to give you up.
When first we met,” she continued, “how your ease and
polish attracted me ! When you became my very own, how
my friends envied me ! But your understanding is too small
for my large soul. You have ruined my standing in society.
If we had never met, I might have walked in peace. So now
begone ! We part for ever ! ”
<><><>
There came a moment’s compulsive breathing, a gritting of
teeth and a sharp cry. It was all over. By an almost super-
human effort, she had pulled off her new shoes.
<><><><>
<><><> Indeed – A Terrible Moment. <><><>
<><><>
Ever bought a new product and couldn’t quite understand
what all the advertising terms meant. We are here to help.
<><>
NEW – Different color from previous design
ALL NEW – Parts not interchangeable with previous design.
ADVANCED DESIGN – The advertising agency doesn’t
understand it.
EXCLUSIVE – Imported Product.
UNMATCHED – Almost as good as the competition.
FOOLPROOF OPERATION – No provision for adjustments.
IT’S HERE AT LAST – Rush job. Nobody knew it was coming.
FIELD TESTED –Manufacturer lacks test equipment.
HIGH ACCURACY – Unit on which all parts fit.
FUTURISTIC – No other reason why it looks the way it does
REDESIGNED – Previous flaws fixed – we hope.
DIRECT SALES ONLY – Factory had a big argument with
the distributor.
YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT – We finally got one to work.
BREAKTHROUGH – We finally figured out a use for it.
MAINTENANCE FREE – Impossible to fix.
MEETS ALL STANDARDS = Ours, not yours.
SOLID STATE – Heavy as anything.
HIGH RELIABILITY – We made it work long enough to ship it.

<><><> 10 Chocolate Rules. <><><>
1. If you’ve got chocolate on your hands, you’re eating it
too slowly.
2. Chocolate covered sultanas, cherries, orange slices and
strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
3. The problem: How to get 2 blocks of chacolate home from
the shop in a hot car. Solution: Eat it in the car park.
4. Diet Tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It will take
the edge off your appetite and you’ll eat less.
5. If calories are an issue, store your chocolates on top of
the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights and they will
jump out to protect themselves.
6. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white
chocolate. This equates to a balanced diet.
7. Money talks. Chocolate sings.
8. Chocolates have many preservatives. Preservatives make
you look younger.
9. Question: Why is there no such organization as Chocolates
Anonymous? Answer. Because no one wants to quit.
10. Put “eat chocolate” at the top of your list of things to do.
That way, at least you’ll get one thing done.
<><><> And lastly a quote …. <><><>
Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should
relax and get used to the idea !!!
<><> That is it Folks. I’ll be back, Merle. <><>

Merle mate... You are following the wrong footy team . Go for the Eagles mate. They will chase away the BLUES!!!!!
Hee Hee Hee !!!!
How true the advertising terms are! LOL
I'm sorry your team didn't win, let's hope for the next game. Utah just approved a new soccer stadium to be built in Salt Lake, finally, we're coming out of the dark ages ;-) Now if we could only get a decent pro baseball team and a pro football team.
Have a wonderful day!
Hi Merle,
I would have bet that first one would be....'She threw her computer out the window!!!' :)
Loved the CHOCOLATE thing too!
YES! I LOVE chocolate!
Junie
Thanks Merle!
Will apply the chocolate rules ASAP!
You're such a delightful lady..and your sense of humor is divine. I enjoy coming here. Have a great rest of Sunday.
Those chocolate rules look like ones I could live by :-)
Enjoyed your post as always...
I'm sorry about Carlton and my abysmal baseball Giants as well.
Love the ideas about chocolate. Life wouldn't be complete without it.
that's right...I'll do as I please...pass that chocolate strawberry please!!!
:-D
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the 10 Chocolate Rules Merle.....UNFORTUNATELY! I've always been a Chocoholic! It ALWAYS sings to me! Thanks sweetie....
I always stick to the chocolate rules - as evidenced by the increase in kgs! As for Carlton? Hmmmmm, better swap to the Lions, especially now that Aker's gone lol! At least you haven't got Eddie McGuire breathing down your neck lol.
Have a good week. Hugs.
HI Merle
Indeed a terrible moment.
I love chocolates, except the coffee ones yuk ..
GO TIGERS !!!!!
Take Care, Jan xxx
Love #4 I'm going to try that one right now.
Sorry about your team:(
I, too, am glad there is more to life than football! That reminds me, there may be an American football game on TV at the moment. So I gotta go.
So sorry about your team Merle. You win some and you loose some.
Love your post, but when I got to the chocolates and especially #5, I started laughing and couldn't stop. That has got to be one of the funniest top ten lists of Chocolate Rules.
I am going to send it to my Aunt Virginia...she'll get the biggest kick out of it.
Hi Merle,
I l-o-v-e chocolate, and I loved your chocolate jokes.
Sorry about your team, better luck next year.
