 National Donut Day
 

Did you know that today is National Donut Day? So have a donut or two.....or three or fourPhotobucket and a cup of coffee and enjoy!

National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday in June. In 1917, Salvation Army female volunteers known as “lassies” prepared thousands of fresh donuts to the homesick soldiers that served in France during World War I. National Donut Day was officially established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression.

Donut Facts
In the U.S. alone, more than 10 billion donuts are made every year.
The largest donut ever made was an American-style jelly donut weighing 1.7 tons, which was 16 feet in diameter and 16 inches high in the center.
Per capita, Canada has more donut shops than any other country.
The hole in the donut's center appeared in the first half of the 19th Century.
Adolph Levitt invented the first donut machine in 1920.

 My Nerves Are On Edge Today!
 

This afternoon was very scary. We had about 4 tornadoes touch down in our county. It was pretty scary!!They set the sirens off 3 or 4 different times. They would run for awhile and then shut off so they would have to start them again. There was a tornado touch down in the town where my grandma used to live and there was quite a bit of damage. There were at least 2 tornadoes touch down west of town and one north of town. There was some considerable damage. One guy's house was completely destroyed but he and his dogs made it out safely...thank god. There have been reports of hail the size of softballs in some places. They have been watching this storm system for a couple of days now and they said yesterday that today would be a very bad day for tornadoes so to be prepared and take the proper precautions and to not ignore this as it was a very strong and severe system, and they were right. It has moved out of our area for now and hopefully we won't see anything else tonight. I hope there is no bad weather for tomorrow either as I have to take Ray to the doctor. I hope this stuff doesn't come your way as it is a dangerous storm. Some of the tornadoes were hard to see by the spotters today because they were rain wrapped. Well hopefully everything will stay quiet and I will be here tomorrow.

 The Snoring Stopper
 

A man has a dog that snores in his sleep. Annoyed, because she can't sleep, his wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon around the dog's testicles and he will stop snoring.

A few hours after going to bed, the dog is snoring as usual. Finally, unable to sleep, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of ribbon and ties it around the dog's testicles, and sure enough, the dog stops snoring. The woman is amazed!

Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep, and begins snoring very loudly. The woman thinks maybe the ribbon will work on him. So she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of ribbon, and ties it around her husband's testicles. Amazingly, it also works on him!

The woman sleeps very soundly.
The next morning, the husband wakes up very hung over.
He tumbles into the bathroom to urinate. As he is standing in front of the toilet, he looks in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates.

He is very confused, and, as he walks back into the bedroom, he notices a red ribbon attached to his dog's testicles.

He shakes his head, looks down at the dog and says:
"Boy, don't remember where we were or what we did, but, by God, we got first and second place!"

 You Know You're Middleaged When. . . . .
 

You've come to the annoying realization that your parents were right about almost everything.

The bag boy volunteers to help load groceries into your car in the ten items or less lane.

You've stopped supporting your children, and started supporting your parents.

You've found yourself discussing rain gutters.

You remember your kids names, just not always the right one.

You have nightmares about forgetting to move the garbage cans to the street for the garbage collector.

Your high school yearbook is now home to three different species of mold.

You buy age-defying makeup and antiwrinkle creams and believe they work.

You've realized that all those geeky people in Bermuda shorts walking around Disney World include you.

You recognize Led Zeppelin songs that have been turned into elevator Muzak.

As a public service, you have agreed to never appear on the beach in a Speedo again.

You've had three opportunities to buy every single Disney Animated Classic for the last time in a generation.

You'd pay good money to be strip-searched.

Wal-Mart and Target seem to share your fashion sense.

The only way you know to stop a virtual pet from beeping involves the patio and a sledgehammer.

You can pack two suits, five shirts, five ties, five pairs of underwear, five pairs of socks, a pair of shoes, and half of your bathroom into a carry-on bag in less than five minutes.

You know what Earth Shoes are.

You think if you hear Stairway to Heaven one more time your head will explode.

Your weight-lifting program seems to have no effect on your muscles, but the veins on the backs of your hands are bulking up quite nicely.

On Saturday night, when your wife mentions hot oil, a little friction, and squealing, you tell her you'll have the car looked at first thing Monday morning.

Tips for all you ladies.
Photobucket
1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy one in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot, it solves nothing; and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember every good-looking, sweet, single male is someone else's ex-boyfriend!

Now smile and send to any girlfriend wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover,or just suffering from work, that might need a reason to smile. Cheer her up.
