friend of mine sent me these road signs. I<br />
A thought they were exceptionally funny. Which<br />
ones are your favorite?<br />
1. Police car loses wheels to thief! Cops are<br />
working tirelessly to nab suspect<br />
2. Before the crowbar was invented, crows had to drink at home.<br />
3. Water is heavier than butane because butane is a lighter fluid.<br />
4. To some, marriage is a word, to others, it’s a sentence.<br />
5. Never iron a four leaf clover. You don’t want to press your luck!<br />
6. Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes, age just<br />
shows up all by itself.<br />
7. Some people are wise, some are otherwise.<br />
8. My relationship with whiskey is on the rocks.<br />
9. The problem with political jokes is that they sometimes get elected.<br />
10. Kleptomaniacs always take things literally.<br />
11. Terrible Summer for Humpty Dumpty but he had a great Fall.<br />
12. Huge fight at local seafood diner! Battered fish everywhere!<br />
13. I sued the airline for losing my luggage. I lost my case.<br />
14. Where there’s a will there’s a relative.<br />
15. Cold? Go stand in the corner. It’s 90 degrees.<br />
16. And to the thief who stole my glasses, I will find you…..I have<br />
contacts.<br />

Funny Road Signs<br />
<strong>August</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
Here I am celebrating a milestone birthday this<br />
year. Really? (Not publishing which one haha)<br />
I look around at so many mementos of my life stashed on cluttered<br />
shelves and in closets but discarding them has never been an option<br />
before.<br />
I did have the good sense to take around 3,000 photos and have<br />
them scanned to flash drives. Then I made books called “My Life in No<br />
Particular Order” Parts 1, 2 & the yet to be completed #3.<br />
The thought is if I wind up in assisted living one day, I’ll have all my<br />
memories in those books. That effort only cleared out one closet.<br />
Planning<br />
for anything<br />
less than total<br />
independence is<br />
daunting and sort<br />
of surreal. I know<br />
there won’t be<br />
too many options<br />
and I also know<br />
I can’t predict<br />
anything.<br />
But what I do<br />
know is I don’t<br />
want to leave a<br />
mess behind. So,<br />
I sort, discard,<br />
It’s My Birthday!<br />

organize and<br />
condense any way<br />
I can. Admittedly<br />
I’m not very<br />
efficient at it.<br />
I think I’m living one of the best parts of my life right now. Best of<br />
all, I’ve actually accomplished most of what I started out to do these<br />
last several years.<br />
I thought for sure I had set the bar too high so the joy is that much<br />
more rewarding.<br />
To sum it up: I finished getting my father’s book published. I was<br />
able to get my original birth certificate that had been sealed forever.<br />
I found my birth father’s side of the family and now have two half<br />
siblings on that side. I’m still working at a job I can do at home.<br />
I’m reasonably healthy. I have a wonderful “significant other” in<br />
my life.<br />
There’s more but the whole point is that on my birthday, I like I got<br />
things done.<br />
And yes, I still watch “General Hospital” every day! It started 60 years<br />
ago and I saw the 1 st episode in boarding school. (Luke is gone now,<br />
or is he?) Some things stay with you forever.<br />
So Happy Birthday to all of you Leos!<br />
