*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Welcome to Giggles & Grins! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
This was meant to go out on or around Mother's Day, but I'm running
behind schedule. I'm kind of surprised to get so little response to
yesterday's comments. Have you given up on American Idol? Don't make
me start talking about Clay again! Enjoy the Giggles!

Mothers stress the lovely meaning of Mother's Day by gathering their
children and tenderly saying, "I carried every one of you in my body for
nine months and then my hips started spreading because of you. I wasn't
built like this until you were born and I didn't have this big blue vein
in the back of my leg. You did this to me." ~~Bill Cosby

You may view yourself as a mature, self-reliant person, but your mom
views you as a person who once got lost in the department store and got
so scared that you pooped your pants. Which caused you to become so
ashamed that you tried to hide in the ladies' lingerie department where
the nice clerk was able to find you because she noticed the highly
unromantic aroma emanating from somewhere inside a rack of negligees.

My mom is so sweet. She said to me, "You look so young for your age.
It must be your pimples."

You know you're a mother when you're up each night until 10:00 pm,
vacuuming, dusting, wiping, washing, drying, loading, unloading,
shopping, cooking, driving, flushing, ironing, sweeping, picking up,
changing sheets, changing diapers, bathing, helping with homework,
paying bills, budgeting, clipping coupons, folding clothes, putting to
bed, dragging out of bed, brushing, chasing, buckling, feeding,
swinging, playing ball, bike riding, pushing trucks, cuddling dolls,
roller blading, catching, blowing bubbles, running sprinklers, sliding,
taking walks, coloring, crafting, jumping rope, raking, trimming,
planting, edging, mowing, gardening, painting, and walking/feeding the
dog. You get up at 5:30 am, and you have no time to eat, sleep, drink
or go to the bathroom, and yet - you still manage to gain ten pounds.

Quick Question

Useless Trivia
In 1912, a New Jersey shoemaker named Abraham Leconey was suffering
from very bad stomach pains. Was it an ulcer? Was it the stomach flu?
Was it just a bad meal? Doctors were unable to diagnose his condition.
Poor Abe was given all types of medications, but nothing seemed to help.
Doctors were forced to turn to a relatively new medical instrument
called the x-ray machine (ever hear of it?) to help them in their
diagnosis. The x-ray image immediately revealed the cause of aching
Abe’s pain. It seems that Abe had a habit of using his mouth as a tack
box while he made the shoes at his workbench. Yes, he had swallowed
one too many of tacks during his career. There were approximately one
hundred tacks stuck into the wall of his stomach.
Ouch!
Make that one really big OUCH!
Leconey was scheduled for surgery to remove the prickly pieces of
metal from his interior. The procedure was called a "tack lifting" at
the time. No follow-up on the surgery was ever printed in the press, so
one has to wonder if he survived the operation. He may have lived one
hour, one day, or many years after this surgery, but with the passage of
nearly a century of time, we can be most certain that he is no longer
with us today.

My dog, she looks at me sometimes with that look, and I think maybe
deep down inside she must know exactly how I feel. But then maybe she
just wants the food off my plate.
