Welcome to 2024 
all righty now, someone served cake!!
ok lets liven it up a bit, your laugh for the day, served with cake & coffee!!
Itâs 2024, Iâm getting old and I still have so many unanswered questions!!!
I havenât found out who let the dogs outâŠ
whereâs the beefâŠ
how to get to Sesame StreetâŠ
why Dora doesnât just use Google MapsâŠ
Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same,
or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie popâŠ
why eggs are packaged in a flimsy carton, but batteries are secured in plastic thatâs tough as nailsâŠ
what does the fox sayâŠ
why âabbreviatedâ is such a long word;
or why is there a D in âfridgeâ but not in refrigeratorâŠ
why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemonsâŠ
why they sterilize the needle for lethal injectionsâŠ
and, why do you have to âput your two cents inâ but itâs only a âpenny for your thoughtsâ whereâs that extra penny going toâŠ
why does The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tuneâŠ
why did you just try to sing those two previous songsâŠ
and just what exactly is Victoriaâs secret?
and where is Waldo?..
Can you hear me now?..
and do you really think I am this witty?? âŠ
I actually got this from a friend, who stole it from her brotherâs girlfriendâs, uncleâs cousinâs who lived next door to an old class mateâs mailman!!!
laugh yâall
and happy New year!

Iâve got another for you. I believe I heard this on a George Carlin album.
If the little black box aboard a plane (used to record flight data and accessed after a crash) is so indestructible, why donât they make the whole plane out of that material?
And Happy New Year to you as well. According to the Today Show this morning, today is the last day you can (according to someoneâs etiquette standards) wish others a Happy New Year. LOL.

Haha, Mary your post made me laugh so hard and yes I started humming the Twinkle twinkle⊠song There were so many good points in particularly the âabbreviatedâ so long âshortcutâ is thankfully shorter 
Anyway, wishing you as well a Happy and Prosperous New Year⊠One can only hope it will be better or at least not worse year than the last one.

a little act of kindness does go a long way
âI drive a school bus and have a 6 grader who I would like to talk about.
Last week he was talking about an elderly neighbor not leaving her house for weeks. I tried to explain how hard it could be for her to do things. On Tuesday I pulled up and he wasnât at the stop waiting. I looked over and saw him shoveling her porch. I was early so I waited for him. The other kids asked why I waited. I said anyone helping someone deserves a few extra minutes. All the kids started asking him questions about his neighbor. The next day 7 children got on the bus with blankets, food and cards for the elderly woman. I delivered them after worked. Now everyday she stands on the porch and the whole bus waves good morning. I am so proud of him for stepping up and doing the right thing. He taught all the children something important. I smile with pride in my heart because of the extraordinary children I have on my bus.â

Also read a story about, âTeenâs Touching Sign Language Chat with Deaf-Blind Passenger on a Plane Warms Heartsâ for an extra dose of inspiration!

that also was an awesome story! was too much to put on here, so learning sign language may be a good thing!

I hope this one isnât too long
âI was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.
He handed me a laminated card and said: âIâm Wasu, your driver. While Iâm loading your bags in the trunk Iâd like you to read my mission statement.â
Taken aback, I read the card. It said: Wasuâs Mission Statement:
To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest, and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.
This blew me away. Especially when I noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!
As he slid behind the wheel, Wasu said, âWould you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.â
I said jokingly, âNo, Iâd prefer a soft drink.â
Wasu smiled and said, âNo problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, lassi, water, and orange juice.â
Almost stuttering, I said, âIâll take a lassi since Iâve never had one before.â
Handing me my drink, Wasu said, âIf youâd like something to read, I have Good Housekeeping magazine, Readerâs Digest, The Bible, and a Travel + Leisure magazine.â
As they were pulling away, Wasu handed me another laminated card, âThese are the stations I get and the music they play, if youâd like to listen to the radio.â
And as if that werenât enough, Wasu told me that he had the heater on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for me.
Then he advised me of the best route to my destination for that time of day. He also let me know that heâd be happy to chat and tell me about some of the sights or, if I preferred, to leave me with my own thoughts.
âTell me, Wasu,â I was amazed and asked him, âhave you always served customers like this?â
Wasu smiled into the rear view mirror. âNo, not always. In fact, itâs only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard about power of choice one day.â
âPower of choice is that you can be a duck or an eagle.â
âIf you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, youâll rarely disappoint yourself. Stop complaining!â
âDonât be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.â
âThat hit me right,â said Wasu. He continued and said, âIt is about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.â
âI take it that has paid off for you,â I said.
âIt sure has,â Wasu replied. âMy first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year Iâll probably quadruple it. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on it.â
Wasu made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.
Have an eagle life aheadâŠ
âAdapted
I hope we all decide to soar like an Eagle and not quack like a duck 
thank you Patti Huckaba for the share
