SUNDAY FUNDAY - AUGUST 27, 2023

 SUNDAY FUNDAY 

AUGUST 27, 2023

Are you tired of the summer yet?  

(I’m finding that I am - and that I am complaining too much. Grin and bear it. It will be changing soon!!!)

SOME SPELLING SIGNS

These are signs that were posted with some apparent mistakes:

On an exit door, “Anyone caught existing through this door will be asked to leave.”
(Hmm, I was trying to leave anyway!!

Outside a restroom, “Restroom is out of odor.”

(I think they meant out of order.)

At a bakery display: “Please use tongues to pick up pastries.”
(Tongues and tongs are similar)

On a door, “No smoking aloud.”
(So, if you smoke, do it quietly.)

SUGGESTION

Put a quarter on top of a cup of ice in your freezer in case of a power outage.

You should freeze a cup of water before a storm and put a quarter on top. After the storm - if the power went out - check the quarter. It is on top, the power didn’t go out long, and your frozen foods are good. If it is embedded in ice, the water thawed slightly and then refrozed. If the quarter is on the bottom, the entire cup melted, and the quarter sank to the bottom - meaning that the food in the freezer was all thawed out. You might need to throw the food out.

MUSIC

Top song of:
1940 - In the Mood - Glenn Miller

1945 - Don’t Fence Me In - Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters. 

1950 - Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole

1955 - Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and the Comets

1960 - Theme from A Summer Place - Percy Faith

1965 - Wolly Bully - Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

1970 - Bridge over Troubled Waters - Simon and Garfunkle

1975 - Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain and Tennille

1980 - Call Me - Blondie

1985 - Like a Virgin - Madonna

1990 - Hold On - Wilson Phillips.

1995 - Gangsta’s Paradise - Coolio

Do you remember most of these songs? I’ve been playing Big Band, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and related music for my 97-year-old friend that I visit at the Wesleyan Skilled Nursing Center. She seems to enjoy the music.

(I stopped listening to the top 40 stations in the 1970s. I didn’t recognize the Blondie, Wilson Phillips, or Coolio songs!!!)

******

Dog joke: (This is just a joke)

A man put his wife in the trunk of his car and drove around for half an hour. The wife gets out screaming and yelling at him when he opens the trunk.

Then the man put his dog in the trunk of his car and drove around for half an hour. When he opened the trunk, the dog jumped out, wagging his tail, wanting to lick the man.

So, yes, dogs are a man’s best friend!!!

SOCIAL JUSTICE SUNDAY - August 27, 2023 - National Today

There are so many injustices in the world - Russia and Ukraine at war; thousands at the Mexico-Texas border; people suppressed, hated, flogged, jailed.  

Are we making each day a little better? Can we love more and hate less?

LOVE WINS!!!
