Rita takes a chemo pill daily along with her Parkinson's meds, the chemo pill will thin her blood as one of its many side effects(to say nothing of the Parkinson's meds). Plus, her oncologist has her on daily Aspirin. I've often felt that's too much thinning of the blood and today it went to the extreme. She woke up this morning with a beautiful shiner around her right eye, much like she gets all over her arms and legs from bumping into stuff. It's most likely from rubbing her eye at some point during the night. I now call her Petey, the dog in Spanky and Our gang. She said if I persist she will start a rumor of how she really got the black eye.  Now she wants me to make the run to do the grocery shopping, seems she doesn't want to be seen in public like that. So for giggles I got out a paper bag and cut three holes in it for her. Guess that won't work either...judging by her response.  |

That's my story and I'm stickin' with it! (says John)  Rather than the bag, I'd get a T-shirt that says "She just won't LISTEN!" and count the dirty looks you get. |

Hey John you might as well put a sign on your butt that says 'kick me'.
That's about as bad as the time when my wife's doctor told me she should be more active instead of sitting. She wanted me to fix her breakfast. I told her "Do it yourself" I somehow got the feeling that the doctor wanted me to be more discreet. However, the wife let me know what she thought of that!
I kinda wish that she was still around so I COULD fix her breakfast. It's been 10 years.

Darkmeister, I had to save that one. That's great, and I know just the person I'm going to send it to. Probably won't speak to me for a few weeks though....one of my daughters.  |

Tell her what I told my daughter who called me a chauvinist: Fact that I find the cartoon so funny, actually proves that I'm not a chauvinist.  |

My wife's response would have been a heavy gauge vinyl bag over my head.... with no holes.

About 10-11 yrs. ago, my present wife was tripped in a store and did a face plant on carpeted concrete. Broke the bridge of her nose, two black eyes, some lacerations, made a mess of her face. Three days later we were to attend a party where we were among good friends, so that time she did show up with the paper bag with holes. She was the hit of the evening.

But when it comes to being a joker, I have yet to surpass her. I'll have to tell you about a couple things she's done next time we're together. She's the queen of practical jokes, and she's pulled some classics. |

John,
Don't they check her 'Protime INR' levels when they do a blood work up?
