Shayne’s Stress Buster No. 8. Limit complaining in the tea room. While it is helpful to talk things over, there comes a point when rehashing negative feelings can just make you feel worse. By all means get things off your chest, but then put it behind you and return to more uplifting topics of conversation.

When my granddaughter, Ann, was 9-years-old, she was given an assignment by her teacher to write a story on “Where my family came from.” The purpose was to understand your genealogy.

I was not aware of her assignment when she asked me at the dining room table one night,

“Grandma, where did I come from?”

I responded quite nervously because my son and daughter-in- law were out of town and I was stalling until they returned home, “Well, honey, the stork brought you.”

“Where did Mom come from then?”

“The stork brought her, too.”

“OK, then…. where did you come from?”

“The stork brought me too, dear.”

“Okay, thanks, Grandma.”

I did not think anything more about it until two days later when I was cleaning Ann’s room and read the first sentence of her paper… “For three generations there have been no natural births in our family.”

Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of theground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again

Thoughts to ponder

My wife and I had words, but I didn’t get to use mine.

God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question.

Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your glasses.

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don’t buy toilet paper there any more.

Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar.

After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.”

The other guy responds proudly, “Yes, that I am!”

The first guy says, “So am I! And where about from Ireland… might you be?”

The other guy answers, “I’m from Dublin, I am.”

The first guy responds, “Sure and begora, and so am I! And what street did you live on in Dublin?”

The other guy says, “A lovely little area it was…I lived on McCleary Street, in the old central part of town.”

The first guy says, “Faith & it’s a small world…. so did I! So did I!! And to what school would you have been going?”

The other guy answers, “Well now, I went to St. Mary’s, of course.” The first guy gets really excited and says, “And so did I. Tell me…. what year did you graduate?”

The other guy answers, “Well, now, let’s see….I graduated in 1964.”

The first guy exclaims, “The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it…. I graduated from St. Mary’s in 1964, my own self.”

About this time, Vicky walks into the bar; sits down; and orders a beer.

Brian, the bartender, walks over to Vicky….shaking his head and mutters, “It’s going to be a long night tonight.”

Vicky asks, “Why do you say that, Brian?”

“The Murphy twins are drunk again.”

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave. “S’cuse me”, said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done, “what was that all about?”

“Nothin’, said the Irishman, “my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives!”

A little boy goes to his father and asks “Daddy, how was I born?” The father answers: “Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo.

Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive.

As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said: ”

You’ve got male !”

After a trial had been going on for three days, Finley, the man accused of committing the crimes, stood up and approached the judge’s bench. “Your Honor, I would like to change my plea from ‘innocent’ to ‘guilty’ of the charges.”

The judge angrily banged his fist on the desk. “If you’re guilty, why didn’t you say so in the first place and save this court a lot of time and inconvenience?” he demanded.

Finley looked up wide-eyed and stated, “Well, when the trial started I thought I was innocent, but that was before I heard all the evidence against me.”

New Wallet Scam

Watch out for the new wallet scam going on

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you.

Here’s how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking 18 or 19-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping items into the boot. They both start wiping your windscreen with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts.

It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say “No” and instead ask you for a ride to another supermarket. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen February 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend as soon as I can buy some more wallets.

Update 23rd Mar ’07

Didn’t the week start out rubbish, now it’s fine and clear.

Well I can say with all honesty, that I’ve been a busy wee boy over the past week (by my standards)

Last weekend Daniel Pene (old school friend) came up to Rotorua for the weekend with his girlfriend Sam to catch up with her friend. Dan booked a white water rafting trip on the Kaituna River.
Man it was awesome, you can read my story about it here and view photos from the experience here.

Joshua is now 148 days old or 4 months 25 days, I’ve added only one new photo of Joshua this week.
Playing around with the saturation of the colour, I desaturated the whole photo, then coloured in just Joshua, something a bit different.

I borrowed a friends ute on Sunday and got two loads of wood over Monday and Tuesday nights this week, so I’ve got a whole heap of wood to split and stack, lucky I don’t have too much else planned for the weekend other than a bit of web design.

My next website project I’m designing is a site for the Body Talk Association of New Zealand, I’ve made a draft layout to complement their brochure. Check out the progress at www.hodgeman.co.nz/web/bodytalk.

Kim’s been busy too with J-dog this week, we are so blessed with our little guy, we are enjoying parenting soooo much, he’s just awesome. He started solids this week and has got the hang of eating off a spoon, Kim is going to have a cook up in the weekend and make a batch of our own baby food to freeze down into ice cube portions.

Thats about it for this weeks update, enjoy this weeks funnies Hodgeman, and have a fantastic weekend!
