A few O'Connor family pics for your collection. From Uncle Jerry that he scanned and then I scanned.

Embrace Life, Buckle up

This is the new "wear your seat belt" ad the UK is doing - started by
some guy (not hired to do it), but because it is important to him,
he came up with this idea, and now it's being hailed across the world as
a 'beautiful' commercial.

And now the video has become so popular with the general public that
people are forwarding it to friends/family on their own so quickly that
it has spread all over the world in a very short time.

Why Exercise Frightens Me

Why Exercise frightens me!

















What do these women

to all this extra body when


they stop weight training??






Remind me to NEVER exercise again!

That's my story and I am sticking to it!!

I wonder who had 'time' to do this.

Advice

EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE UNDER MY
BED AT NIGHT.
SO I WENT TO A PSYCHIATRIST AND TOLD HIM

'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it.
I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy..'

'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the psychiatrist.
'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get
rid of those fears...'

'How much do you charge?'

'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.

'I'll sleep on it,' I said.

Six months later the psychiatrist met me on the street.

'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.

'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money!
A psychiatrist cured me for $10.

I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new
pickup!'

'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask,
did a bartender cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!

SCREW THOSE PSYCHIATRISTS.. TALK TO YOUR BARTENDER

Happy May Day

Happy May Day We are enjoying a beautiful day of 30 degree weather with snow mixed with rain. I'm watching Beard's dog, Bella, so it is not good weather for walking a dog. We still have no spring flowers blooming yet
