Fun Friday with a little help from my friends.


Grandson's teacher wrote me a note yesterday - thanks for volunteering for the field trip.  Please be at the school at 8.  I don't remember volunteering!!! It is an all day re-enactment of the civil war.  With gun noises and police have been notified.  How did I do this - guess I will be there!

HOW  TO START A FIGHT

                              One  year, I decided to buy my
mother-in-law a cemetery plot as
                   a Christmas gift...

                              The next  year, I didn't buy her a gift.

                              When she asked  me why, I replied,

                              "Well, you still haven't used the gift
I bought you last year!"

                              And that's how the fight started.....

Thank you Sharon





Thank you Kelly ( a teacher).



The right side of your brain.   An eye, brain trick.
   You will enjoy this if you are using the right side of your brain. Stare at this pic carefully and you will see this man turn his face.

I did - did you?  Thank you Monica at Chicken Wrangler

 

Does this remind you of anything you did in your lifetime?
Thank you Fran!


There is a factory in Essex which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys.. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

Well, Shelley is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 am.
The next day at 8:45 am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. 


The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.
  At the end of the line stands Shelley surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush Red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.

The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Shelley.
'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...'

'Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.

Thank you Jerry at AstheCrackerHeadCrumbles


Thank you Jeannie.

The Three Little Pigs Eat Dinner

Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night.

The waiter comes and takes their drink order. "I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggy. "I would like a Coke," said the second little piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.

The drinks are brought out and the waiter takes their orders for dinner.

"I want a nice big steak," said the first piggy. "I would like the salad plate," said the second piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.

The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.

"I want a banana split," said the first piggy. "I want a root beer float," said the second piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," exclaimed the third little piggy.

"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter! to the third little piggy, "but why have you only ordered water all evening?" 


 You're gonna LOVE me for this.... Hold on to your seat.

At the risk of you never coming back here ever again........

The third piggy says - "Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!" 


 Thank you Calamity Jane!
I want all my beautiful friends to have a great weekend!

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

Oh my gosh! Even before I finished reading your comment about the position of the man's face, I saw the two positions! I know I'm very right brained, but wow!
I love the bit about your grandson's trip--that's the thing about grandmas--you know they'll be there when you need them!

Hey Sandie on the right side of the brain thingy,we were suppose to stare at it until the guy's face turned forward,what's wrong with me,cause that's what I saw and had to look real hard for the side view,I crazy like that.

Aloha Acres said...

The face pic ... freaky!

Unknown said...

Michaele said...

I just love your Fun Friday posts. I really did have to stare for awhile - but sure enough I saw it. We both posted about pigs today :@)

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...

It's amazing but I did see that face turn sideways. Just goes to show us to take time and really see what's going on. I think we miss a lot racing through life. Hope you enjoy your volunteer day. It's raining here and I just spent lots of money and 3 hours at the car dealership having what was supposed to be a simple oil change and tire rotation....

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hugs,

What an adorable grandson you must have. My 6 years old tend to forget to ask me before he volunteers me for service at his school. Cute.

Sandy.

My son had this book it in Art school. He had to draw from it.

I tried it. It was in his room.

I had to draw the person which was an old man.

You start at the bottom work up.

It was easier then drawing a person a normal way a sketch.

You can get book from Library.

I bet your Grandson could do it.

Drawing from the Left Side of Your Brain
August 25, 2008 by Hsachs is the one I did back then.

Drawing from the Left Side of Your Brain
By Howard Sachs, MD, PhD

I’m sure that you’ve all read or heard of the book called “ Drawing from the Right Side of Your Brain.”with images, art and beauty, and also matters of kindness and compassion.

However, the two sides are connected


If you look close up to the picture you poated. You can see it change but really it has not.

Allusion.


People who have had a strokes can draw with the left side of the brain.

Easy.

renae said...

valerietilsten59.blogspot.com said...

Pondside said...

That right-brained exercise is so weird! I loved your Friday laugh- thanks!

Mary said...

Haaa..thanks for the laughs. I borrowed you Halloween quote that you found from another teacher. It so speaks for me!

Sharon said...

A civil war reenactment?? Do you have to dress up?

Yes, I did see the man turn his face! Does that mean I'm in my *right* brain at least part of the time?

LOVED the Elmo story...will pass that on to my sons, who appreciate that kind of humor (I do, too).

And I would comment on the three pigs story, but I have a sudden urge to wee, wee, wee...

xo

Jim said...

Thanks, Sandie. We are having a neat weeking in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Our daughter wanted to go so we went, Karen, KP, Mrs. JIm, and me.

You have a nice weekend. I hope the field trip went well. I have been volunteered to be the 'mystery guest reader' in KP's class on Tuesday. They have had Fall Break last week and a teacher's inservice off day Monday.

Maggie Ann said...

Rob-bear said...

Seems you have survived the volunteer bit. I survived the week. I guess that makes both of us winners.

Hope your weekend has gone well.

Blessings and Bear hugs.

Betty said...

That's probably how the teacher gets all her volunteers. Smart teacher.

Had a few minutes this evening and now I'm concerned. You didn't post Saturday or Sunday. Are you OK? I hope so. I'll probably be gone for a while with all the house stuff going on.

momto8 said...

SquirrelQueen said...

I am going to be laughing about the Tickle Me Elmo joke for quite a while, that is cute. And the little piggy....too funny.

I hope the field trip went well.

Nancy said...

Haha! You know you want to spend all day doing this. Lol.

The turning face thingy freaked me out a little. Just sayin'.

Hootin Anni said...

I can't get past the mother in law last year's Christmas gift. What a hoot. If I could turn back time, that would've been me if I thought of it. roflmao

Stephanie said...

Ida said...

What a fun way to start a Monday morning! - How was the Field Trip!

Tricia Buice said...

I just love your posts! I must share the mother-in-law gift idea with my new daughter-in-law - she will laugh! How are things with the weather - is Sandy giving Sandie any trouble? We're getting the rain and winds now. Just saw a bird outside my second story office window trying to fly - it looked like a scene from The Wizard of Oz - he was there for a moment then swept away on a gust. Such fun!

Liz Mays said...

LOL to the cemetery gift!

Marianne (Mare) Baker Ball said...

Wow, that turning the face guy picture is weird! So interesting!

Thistle Cove Farm said...

Many thanks for the chuckles and thank God that young man has such good manners!

Journeyin' Lady... said...

Tanna said...

I'm guessing your dear GS may have "volunteered" you, Sandie! LOL! Hope you enjoyed your Civil War Re-enactment! So glad you are able to support your GS at his school. A wonderful thing. Thanks for the chuckles. And, one of my favorite quotes at the end. ;) blessings ~ tanna
