Morning to all my fellow cyber friends here on GB and do hope that your week has gone well and that you are looking forward to your weekend.

We have not had any snow as yet even though numerous areas around and about have had.

Just watched her music video :music:Sorry:music: again - ain't she just gorgerous !!!!????

Reading about Venus & the spider (Thursday thread) made me think of phobias. I have a friend who is absolutely petrified of them, another friend is terrified of moths. Myself, it's mice :eek: If my cat happens to bring one in I get all jittery. What things don't you like or have a phobia about?

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money,
and
was a real miser when it came to his money.
Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to
take
all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money
to
the afterlife with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when
he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket; his wife was sitting
there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they
finished
the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket,
the wife said, "Wait just a minute!".
She had a box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the
casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and the rolled it away.
So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all
that
money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go
back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in
that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"
"I sure did" said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my
account
and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it."

2. Women Are Smarter Than Men

Due to inherit a fortune when his sickly, widower father died, Charles
decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. Going to a singles' bar, he
spotted a woman whose beauty took his breath away. "I'm just an
ordinary man," he said, walking up to her, "but in just a week or two,
my father will die and I'll inherit 20 million dollars." The woman went
home with Charles, and the next day she became his stepmother!

3. Women's Revenge

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished
to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control
for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV
remote?" I asked. "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come
shopping with me, so I figured this was the most legal evil thing I
could do to him."

4. Understanding Women (A Man's Perspective)

I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you
can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair
out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

5. Wife Vs. Husband

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted
to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats,
and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep,"
the wife replied, "in-laws."

6. Words

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a
day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to
be because we have to repeat everything to men." The husband then
turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

7. Stupid And Beautiful

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid
and so beautiful all at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me
to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God
made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!"

8. The Beast

Husband and wife were in the midst of a violent quarrel, and hubby was
losing his temper. "Be careful," he said to his wife. "You will bring
out the beast in me." "So what?" his wife shot back. "Who's afraid of a
mouse?"

9. Coffee

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the
coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get
up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you
should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my
coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the
Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't
believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New
Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed
says.... "HEBREWS"
