One Quiet Moment



Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.
Charles Dickens



As I've Said Before -- Don't Mess With the Old Guys!!!

Jim was an old man.

He was sick and in the hospital.

There was one nurse that just drove him crazy.
Every time she came in, she would talk
to him like he was a little child.

She would say in a patronizing tone of voice,
’And how are we doing this morning',

or 'Are we ready for a bath', or 'Are we hungry?'  

Old Jim had had enough of this particular nurse.

One day, at breakfast,
Old Jim took the apple juice off the
tray and put it in his bed side stand.
Next, he was given a urine bottle
to fill for testing.

So you know where the juice went!

The nurse came in a little later, picked
up the urine bottle and looked at it.
'My, it seems we are a little cloudy today. '

At this, Old Jim snatched the bottle
out of her hand, popped off the top,
and drank it down, saying,
'Well, I'll run it through again.
Maybe I can filter it better this time.'

The nurse fainted!

Old Jim just smiled!

As I said -- don't mess with old men -- or women either for that matter!!!

The best portion of a good man's life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

Sunday Smiles -- Well, Belly Laugh This Sunday!!

 My neighbor was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model
 car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn.

He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down
on a lawn chair.  He said with excitement, "you appear quite elderly to be
driving."

"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly.  "I'll be 97 next month, and I am
 now old enough that I don't even need a driver's license anymore.
The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a
 driver's license. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors
 out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the
 waste basket, saying, 'You won't need this anymore,' so I thanked him 
and left!"
