    Good Morning All! More bathing and polishing of my toys today.

    @Ireland...you know I love religion jokes and catholic jokes! Especially the top one with the large family. My Dad is the youngest of 18 (ore was it 16; I don't remember)LOL! They were farmers though so you either had a lot of kids or you hired people. A lot of them died young also; my Dad will be 101 in June so most of his brothers and sisters were born in the late 1800s and medicine left much to be desired in those days ... probably paid the doctor with chickens LOL!

    @billyboy ... if you love chinese, then you MUST try Peking Duck someday; it kind of pricy though.

    I don't know what they Plymouth Bretherin are but I'll look them up tomorrow ... I broke my reading glasses and can't see up close; in fact, I'm typing from about five feet away LOL! I've got another set of reading glasses at the office though.

    The amish are of German origin but since they've been here so long, their german has become a dialect of its own which they still speak all the time. Their a very regid religious bunch who believe in a "simple" life which, ironically, is anything but simple. They don't believe in electricity, cars, telephones or anything modern. They still get about in horse and buggy. Many, probably most, are farmers but they plow their fields with horse and plow. You have to laugh sometimes because they'll take a modern tractor because of all the different farming attachments it pulls, they'll remove the engine and all the "heavy" stuff from it and you'll see a horse pulling the tractor through the fields. It's pretty funny. They live about an hour west of Philadelphia (Lancaster County) so all the tourist companies have busses several times a day that leave Philly to go and gawk at the Amish ... you can't help but feel sorry for them sometimes because they really hate being a tourist attraction. Much of their lifestyle is outside regular legal authority but they're such a peaceful bunch that they authorities just leave them alone.

    good morning all,

    gerry1 go to ye favorite dollar store and pick up a pair of reading glasses,

    i use them all the time instead of using a bifocal in my glasses...
    i got tired of lifting my head up trying to use the bifocal.to read whats on my computer

    @Ireland ... that's what I do too! I usually buy a dozen pairs and leave them all over the place but I've run out. I probably have 20 pairs at the office now LOL! I wear only one contact lens in my right eye, the other is fine (better than fine) for distances but my close up vision is atrocious. As you know, I got into a nasty accident long ago; another in the list of injuries I sustained was "traumatic cataracts" which is treated the same way as any other cataracts but a different cause. I see great for distances but my up close vision sucks without glasses ... it left me light sensitive too but not too bad. (Bifocals really suck when it comes to using a computer as you stated.)

    The eye surgeon gave me one really great tip though: when using a computer, use reading glasses that are one half the strength that you'd use to read a book. I know it sounds strange (to some anyway) but it works like a charm. I use 3.5 regularly but for the computer I'll use 1.5 - 2.0.

    Happy Sunday everyone!

    A blonde was driving through the country one fine summers day and She noticed however, that there was another blonde in a canoe that was in the middle of a field.... This blonde seemed to be rowing for for her very life.

    Outraged by this apparent act of stupidity, the other blonde alighted from her vehicle and yelled out....…”it’s blondes like you that give blondes like me a bad reputation, and I should come on over and whip your butt”. The blonde then reflected for a moment upon her words, and then added .... “lucky for you I can’t swim”
