There's a Banana in Your Ear!

2 guys are walking down the street.

One guy says to the other, "Hey, there's a banana in your ear."

The guy says "What?"

The first guy says, "THERE"S A BANANA IN YOUR EAR!"

The guy says "WHAT?"

The first guys says, "COME ON!  There's a banana in your ear!"

The banana guy says" HUh?  can't hear ya.  There's a banana in my ear!"

How to Stay Young

1.  Try everything twice.  On one woman’s tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
“Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!”

2.  Keep only cheerful friends.  The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:  Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever…
Never let the brain get idle.  ’An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’
And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.  Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6.. The tears happen:  endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:  whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever..
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health.
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips..take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.

Remember!

Lost time can never be found.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Wine does not make you FAT …. it makes you LEAN ….(against tables, chairs,  floors, walls and ugly people.)

I hope you have a moo-valous day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Rite Aid (01/30/11)


Total cost of all items purchased:  a whopping 27 cents for $111.21 in merchandise.  I ran it twice on the calculator...I thought I messed up!  YAY ME!  I combined sales, Wellness Card, Up Rewards, manufacturer coupons & Ad Perk coupons for a 99.8% savings! 

Toothpaste & contact lens solution are going to the local domestic violence shelter.  Everything else is going to the stockpile.  The Gatorade...actually, I had FOUR Gatorades...son drank one on the way home!  The Gatorade is going in the fridge & won't last long.  Neither will the Pringles...unless I hide them!  Chex Party Mix is going to work to share...it is TAX SEASON after all!  Tums are for the husband & the son...they probably won't last long either.  I needed $6.04 more in Olay facial products for the $20 rebate...got that. 

I was very happy with this shopping trip!

Welcome!

...to m & b acres.  I decided to start a blog where I could share those moments in life that just don't fit on a crafting blog.  There are many Kodak moments in life; it takes me a while to take those moments & make them crafty.  ;-)  If you need a crafting fix...you can find me over here at Cow Pies.  If you just hang around in Kentucky on m & b acres...you can find me right here!

Come on in!  Can I get you a cup of coffee?
