Saturday

92º at 1:40 pm Saturday - been pleasant lately, in 60's or even 50's at night and warmer in the daytime.

Haven't written lately because haven't done anything worth writing about.

Have been scanning old photos to digital.  
Guess I could put on some old photos - 
1910 photo of my where my Mother was born and grew up near
Lodi, Nebraska (Between Callaway & Oconto, NE)


My mother when she
was about 16 years old

















Dad in about 1932






Dad - in Nebraska
















My mom (back left) with her siblings about 1960
Our trip to South Dakota 1960  -with aunt Alma

Picnic behind Alma's bar

Darrell, Rosemarie, Kermit, Louise, Alma, Pearl

At Uncle Jack's near Gothenburg, NE

And, putting some 230 YouTube videos of Jack Benny's programs onto DVD so can see later.  Very interesting with the various guests he had over the years.  Most of them no longer living...........

Maybe later............Lynn


GROANER’S CORNER:((  Okay boys you just can't win, and here are the reasons why: If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy.  If you work too hard, there is never any time for her. If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.  If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation.  If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.  If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism.  If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.  If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.  If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.  If you cry, you're a wimp. If you don't, you're insensitive.  If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist.  If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.  If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.  If she asks you, it's a favor.  If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you're a sexist.  If you don't, you're unromantic.  If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain.  If you don't, you're a slob.  If you buy her flowers, you're after something.  If you don't, you're not thoughtful.  If you're proud of your achievements, you're up on yourself. If you don't, you're not ambitious.

Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby."Kneeling is definitely best," claimed one."No," another contended. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven.""You're both wrong," the third insisted. "The most effective prayer position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor."The repairman could contain himself no longer."Gentlemen," he interrupted, "the best praying I ever did was one day hanging upside down from a telephone pole, smoldering."
