You know you’ve had too much coffee 
when:
- you can type sixty words a minute with your feet;
- you chew on other people’s fingernails;
- you go to sleep just so you can wake up and smell the coffee;
- you’re the employee of the month at Starbucks, and you don’t even work there!
Stale 
Mate
- He wooed her with cocktails, Champagne and wine.
Took her to all the best places to dine. - Out to the races, into ballets,
Symphonies, concerts, movies and plays. - But now that they’re married and he has a spouse,
She has a husband who won’t leave the house.
Recently Overheard:
My husband bought me a mood ring the other day.
When I’m in a good mood, it turns green.
When I’m in a bad mood, it leaves a red mark on his forehead.

Credo
Give me a sense of humor, Lord.
Question 
"How well do you handle changes in your life?"
It is not enough to merely recognize the need for change. We must welcome it and encourage it. Yes, change is difficult and the older we get, the more difficult it is to change. We need people to do new things and we need people to do some of the old things in new ways. WHAT we change, HOW we change, WHERE we change, WHEN we change all help us to be grateful for those things that always seem to remain the same.

For years I had been telling my friend Pete that he ate too much fast food, but he always denied it.
One day he admitted I was right. "What changed your mind?"
"My grandson. When my daughter told him I was coming to visit, he asked, 'Grandpa from Florida, or Grandpa from Pizza Hut?'"
Last year I replaced several windows in my house and they were the expensive double-pane energy efficient kind. But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work has been completed for a whole year and I had yet to pay for them. Boy oh boy, did we go 'round. Just because I'm blonde doesn’t mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year....that in one year the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and I haven’t heard back. Guess I must have won that silly argument

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?”
“Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.” The child thought about this for a moment, then said, “So why is the groom wearing black?”
There are a lot of folks who can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in "America".
Well, there’s a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil.
We just didn’t know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical.
All our oil is in Alaska, Texas, California and Oklahoma.
All our "dipsticks" are in Washington, D.C.

A man was visiting an Assisted Living Home. While he was there, a bell rang out very loudly. He asked the attendant "if that was the fire bell?" The attendant said, "no", it’s the dinner bell. We have 2 lines:

Take the 
Time
He hadn’t time to pen a note
He hadn’t time to cast a vote
He hadn’t time to sing a song
He hadn’t time to love or give
He hadn’t time to really live
From now on he’ll have time on end
He died today, my "busy" friend.

I 
BELIEVE
that we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done regardless of the consequences.
that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
