My wife has asked me to post this as a WARNING TO WOMEN!! Quote -
Some of you may have already been warned of this..... You've heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves.My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else's thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine?I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs.Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans.And thenthe thieves struck again.My bum was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear-end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier.But my new bum was attached at least three inches lower than my original! I realized I'd have to give up my jeans in favour of long skirts.Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched.One morning I was drying my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm swing to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush.This was really getting scary - my body was being replaced one section at atime.What could they do to me next?When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck, I decided to tell my story.Women of the world wake up and smell the coffee!Those 'plastic ' surgeons are using REAL replacement body parts -stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know has something 'lifted', look again - was it lifted from you? THIS IS NOT A HOAX. This is happening to women everywhere every night. WARN YOUR FRIENDS! P.S. Last year I thought some one had stolen my Boobs. I was lying in bed and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hidingin my armpits as I slept. Now I keep them hidden in my waistband. Thought this was too 'important' not to pass on. Have a wonderful day - with a joy filled heart. P.P.S. - These same thieves came into my closet and shrank my clothes!How do they do it?Just thought you should know.

:shock: :shock:

Now look here, you've really got my dander up now - what is so wrong with grey haired women :!: As long as the hair style is right it doesn't matter what colour it is. Everybody should grow old gracefully and accept the fact that they can't go back to looking young again, 'cos it ain't gonna happen. I hate it when older women dye their hair too dark for their age and the roots are showing through.

And on another thing, what about men with their beer bellies who wear "sports gear" what on earth is that all about :!: Anyone can tell they've never done any kind of sport for years.

Aaahh feel better now after that rant and rave :lol: :lol:

You tell him BC Wench!
He really is a cheeky so and so!!

Just cos he wears a toupee!
:lol:

Ah! listen I was at docs today and I felt so sorry for some of the elderly patients.
The docs have installed a new booking in system where you enter your dob and this replaces seeing the receptionist.
Well they just couldn't get it!
I was a bit naughty and thought smugly ...yes! I did it first time!

But then this evening Wolvie has gone to badders and left me in charge of the new remote
and
I CAN'T WORK IT!!

I can't see the buttons or wot they say!
so I have just spent the last hour pushing all the darn buttons!
fume!!
I never learnt how to operate a video either!

Hmmm, not entering into this discussion - Too many confessions involved!
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.

Well I am really upset now......

I was standing looking into the bedroom mirror.
Not happy with what I was seeing and I said to Wolvie, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'

And Wolvie says............ "Your eyesight's near perfect!"

:o :(
