I'm hoping it all comes together for you soon. Getting out socially will be helpful. Hugs,

I know what you are saying! I live on the front side of a mountain and looking out my kitchen window i see the forest behind me and all the trees this winter's weather has brought down. I'm going to have to buy a new chain saw; once I get my "new" leg! I declared bankruptcy on October 20,2016,my husband's birthday was October 23 and he went HOME on October 24, after 10 years of suffering.We were ALL each other had, so I had to take care of everything, then after the snowstorm onDecember 15, I did a spiral break of my right leg.After a doctor, who didn't know what he was doing with me deformed my leg, it was amputated on October 5 2017. Because of all the ice and snow I haven't been able to get out to get my prothesus, so I'm going stir crazy and the idea of a chain saw is really exciting! Like you said, there has to be something BRight to look forward to. You know what might be really helpful, we need " A Joke A Day ". Something to give us a good smile. My first job out of college, I use to come in with a new joke every day, and it got to the point where people were waiting at my drawing board for me every morning! It made everyone smile and it made me feel good in being able to do it. --------See if you can find a silly joke, maybe it will help to brighten things up. Can't wait until tomorrow.

kidd, here's my joke; I had it on my frig:

A gentleman was driving from Dallas to Oklahoma City one afternoon on Interstate 35. As he approached the Arbuckle Mountains north of Ardmore, he spotted a wild goat on the side of the road. Fearing that it might get killed, he pulled over and put the animal in the back seat of his car.

A few minutes later, a highway patrolman saw the strange sight of the two of them in the car together and turned on his siren. After pulling the man over, the officer said he had done nothing wrong but wondered about the goat.

The driver said, "I just found him on the side of the interstate and didn't want him to get run over. What should I do?"

"Since you're headed north," the officer advised, "why don't you take the goat to the Oklahoma City Zoo?" The man agreed.

The next afternoon, the patrolman saw the same car, driver, and goat, this time headed south on I-35. Again he stopped the car. "I thought you were going to take the goat to the zoo," the highway patrolman said.

"I did," the driver replied, "and we had such a good time that today we're going to Six Flags."

I know that was a corny joke. I am glad you are still able to joke. My sister had her leg amputated years ago - all of her right leg up to the hip. I don't know if she could have walked with a prosthesis, because she overdosed seven months later. If my second husband had lived, he would have had to have an amputation as well. All of us on here feel like we have had our hearts amputated. Be careful with the chainsaw!!!

shewearsblack17 thank you, for your joke! it did bring a smile.

A wife suddenly stopped talking to her husband and said, "You weren't even listening, were you?" He thought, "That's a pretty weird way to start a conversation."

Your turn...
