SINGLE  Black Female seeks male companionship, ethnicity  unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. i love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me .....

Getting Old??? Surely You Jest!!!

ROMANCE 
An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep, but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. 
She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting.." 
Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. 
A few moments later she said: "Then, you used to kiss me.." 
Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep. 
Thirty seconds later she said: "Then, you used to bite my neck..." 
Angrily, he threw back the bed sheets and got out of bed. 
"Where are you going?" she asked. 
"To get my teeth!"

DOWN AT THE RETIREMENT CENTER 
80-year old Bessie bursts into the recreation room at the retirement home. 
She holds her clenched fist in the air and announces, "Anyone who can guess what's in my hand can have sex with me tonight!" 
An elderly gentleman in the rear shouts out, "An elephant?" 
Bessie thinks a minute and says, "Close enough."

OLD FRIENDS 
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. 
One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me... I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name... I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." 
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes, she just stared and glared at her. 
Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

SENIOR DRIVING 
As a senior citizen was driving down the highway, his car phone rang. 
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Vernon , I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on I-25. Please be careful!" 
"Hell," said Vernon, "It's not just one car... It's hundreds of them!"

SUPERSEX 
An old lady with dementia was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. 
As she ran, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say "Supersex." 
She ran to an old man in a wheelchair, flipping her gown up at him, she said, "Supersex." 
He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup." 
_____________________________________ 
DRIVING 
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to major crossroad. The stop light was red, but they just went on through. 
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." 
After a few more minutes, they came to another major junction and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red, but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. 
At the next junction, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. 
So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" 
Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh! Am I driving?"

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Ready to Smile, Chuckle, The Church Ladies Are Back!

Those wonderful Church  Bulletins! Thank God for church ladies with
 typewriters. These sentences (with  all the BLOOPERS) actually
 appeared in church bulletins or were announced in  church services:

The Fasting  & Prayer Conference includes meals.

The  sermon  this morning: Jesus Walks on the Water.
The  sermon  tonight: Searching for Jesus.

Ladies, don't  forget  the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of
those things not worth  keeping around the house. Bring your 
 husbands.

Remember  in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at
someone who is hard  to love. Say 'Hell' to someone who doesn't care
much about you  .

Don't  let worry kill you off - let the Church help .

Miss  Charlene Mason sang 'I will not pass this way again,' giving
obvious pleasure  to the congregation.

For  those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a
nursery downstairs  .

Next  Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all 
 the help they can  get.

Irving  Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the
church. So ends a  friendship  that began in their school days.

A  bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall.
Music will  follow..

At  the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be 'What Is
Hell?' Come  early and listen to our choir practice.

Eight new  choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of
several new members  and to the deterioration of some older ones.

Scouts  are  saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be
recycled. Proceeds  will  be used to cripple children.
