Dinner with Mom went well with no major confugalties at the Cracked Barrel. Alan & Glo joined Mom, DD, Tracey and me last evening for some food and conversation. The conversation touched on the polygamy case in Texas with all those children being held by the state while the authorities try to sort out the parental relationships, etc. We were all in agreement it was important to safeguard the children and that it would be difficult to judge how far society should go to do that. Should the religious sect be dismantled and banned? Or just adjusted and monitored to safeguard the rights of those who belong? And to what extent? I’m just glad I’m not that judge or on that jury. Not that I don’t think the so-called wives and all those children don’t deserve to live better but because I wouldn’t want to be the one to try and convince them.
Parrots A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, ‘Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.’
‘What do they say?’ the priest inquired.
They say, ‘Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?’
That’s obscene!’ the priest exclaimed, Then he thought for a moment. ‘You know,’ he said, ‘I may have a solution to your problem.
I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, And we’ll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, And your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.’
‘Thank you,’ the woman responded, ‘this may very well be the solution.’ The next day, She brought her female parrots to the priest’s house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.
After a few minutes, The female parrots cried out in unison: ‘Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?’ There was stunned silence.
Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, ‘Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!’
Denise sent some photos by email and this is one of them. Her explanation of this photo:
There is a random picture of Noah attached; I believe it was from late February or early March (before his trip). We were at a park in Pekin and I always like to take pictures on our trips to the park. I thought this one turned out quite well and decided to share it with you.
