***********************************
It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus. http://stacyuncorked.com
The work assignment was simple. Go to the cousin's publishing office and use the copy machine to make two copies. So simple.
The machine is supposed to be the kind that will do everything including collate or copy two sided to separate pages.
The machine was used by Noah to copy the ark plans, the toner cartridge won't stay in place, it gets paper jams after every 2-3 sheets, and when i opened the lid, found bug droppings.
Yes, i got it done, copying one page at a time, flipping it over, copying the other side, collating myself, and re-counting every page of both documents to make sure nothing got missed.
That was the easy part. The hard part was going over each page line by line looking for errors (it was about her lawsuits), and we found a doozy. It will be duly reported to Dr. D's lawyers.
On to other considerations. We are still trying to figure out who will be where on which day this week. Uncle J and Bryn are going to be at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Wednesday (and through the whole week), and Little Girl is going then, too, so it looks like Sweetie and i don't have to rush down there, get stuff done, come home, and go back Thursday. It will be like a vacation if it works out that way!
Little Girl, looking at the calendar yesterday, "Wait, Grandpa's birthday was last Friday?"
To which i replied, yes, and i sent you a text.
"No, you didn't!"
At which point i showed her that i sent the same good morning text to each of the children, a happy picture that said, "hooray, it's Friday" and a message under it reminding them it was in fact his birthday.
"I don't read the texts, I just look at the pictures you send!" she wailed.
That, i pointed out, is not my fault, as i can only send the message, not make her read it. She better be helping me make the hojaldras this year, she owes him one.
To finish, a few random funnies, passed along by Grandma:

Love the funnies.
ReplyDeleteSigh on the not reading your messages part.
I love that donut hole joke :)
ReplyDeleteDoughnut holes are healthy :) Thanks for this tidbit.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the cartoons, Mimi. I love them.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
"Three Time Ruler of Wallachia" doesn't exactly instill confidence in the stability of his rule, does it?
ReplyDelete(I like to drive past stores that sell sweatpants, too.)
Those funnies are great! We love each of them! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI like your Grandma's funnies. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant Mimi. No machine is difficult for you.
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon about the chicken and lasagna, I would prefer the lasagna. See ya.
Cruisin Paul
Lawyers, yuck! Those funnies made the Dad laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteMy kids are bad to not see and respond to texts. I never know if they get stuff I send unless they say reply. It's like you said, you can't make them read it. *sigh*
Your funnies are spot on making me smile big this morning which I truly need. I have somethings on my mind that bothersome and ask that you say a prayer for these unspoken concerns. I'm so glad God knows everything. :)
Have a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving holiday, dear friend. You're such a joy!!
I think I resemble all those cartoon funnies! I try and make veggie smoothies but they keep coming out as pina coladas. :-) I laughed about Little Girl's *explanation* about not knowing about the birthday. Yes, this seems typical with the younger generations. I hope you and Sweetie have a wonderful Thanksgiving. xoxo
ReplyDelete"The Price is Right"(TV), 1956
ReplyDeleteThis caught my eye today. Still going strong. The show hasn't changed much. Maybe the set and prizes etc.
But the same goofy giddy contestants are chosen. The show would collapse and be shut down if I were chosen. I don't tee hee loudly and wildly. Nor to I jump around and scream and holler. lol
Is anything ever easy? You seem to have roadblocks with almost everything you do for Dr. D. I think it's because there is a black cloud that follows her wherever she goes. You do roll with the punches though.
ReplyDeleteI love all the funnies. Well done.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, my friend. ♥
These cartoons are hysterical!
ReplyDeleteone is great !! and I'm thinkin the copier there must be second cousin to the phone system here~~
ReplyDelete!! ☺☺♥♥
I had to look up the hojaldras, sounds good. Grandma would make fry bread for ours. Oh, my, copiers. Shudder.
ReplyDeleteI have to work with one at the sub that is smarter than I am, and the one I use at home, well. It's probably smarter than I am, too! And that can lead to some snarling, swearing, and time outs. In fact, I have been known, at home, to give the item to be printed to Husband, so I don't end up wanting to back over said copier with the big truck. Several times... Ahem.
Oh, I hope you can keep your equinimity with your latest soap opera doings with Dr. D. A boo boo with lawyers can be... Amazing. And not in a good way...
Cat
Copy machines....yikes....they have minds of their own I swear....and I swear silently when using them! Great funnies from Grandma!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like an old copier if Noah used it. Thank you for the kind words you left on my blog for the loss of KaTwo. XO
ReplyDeleteI hate copiers. There. I said it. COPIERS!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your funnies today. I would add one: I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row!
And Happy Cake Day! I hope it is to be followed by Happy Ice Cream Day! ;)
I'm trying to picture Noah with a copier! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat copy machine sounds like it gave you a run for your money!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is as bad as your kids about not reading texts. He doesn't respond, either, so now I simply don't text him. neener, neener! ;)
LOVED your funnies! Hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving! :)
