In example there are canine specialists, and feline specialists.

WHO LAUGHS FIRST, LAST and, NOT AT ALL

An observation. Laughter. How much is there, and what's the protocol?

I believe the first, and last laugh are had by, the same person. Those looking forward to comedy. They want something to be funny so, even something moderately funny brings on a laugh where someone more critical may only laugh a little. That happens because, while it wasn't that funny, they must laugh so as not to appear naive to the others getting great enjoyment. The critic's laugh is short, and just for show while those with a desire to laugh are still laughing when the critic is through putting on a show.

It is said that laughter is the best medicine. That being true, only the oldest of society 'gets it.' Maybe there's something to that?

I had a talk with my cat about laughter. I asked him why he never laughs. I told him it must be difficult living with someone as funny as I am, and not having the ability to laugh.

It occurred to me that maybe it's proof that laughter is the best medicine. You notice cats don't have the potential to live as long as people. Is there a bigger difference? We exist on the same planet.

I would love to hear a turtle laugh!

WEATHER APPETIZER

It seems as if my appetite increases with inclement weather.

I seem to snack more when it rains. Maybe it has to do with less to do. I mean, inclement weather curtails my outside activities.

Perhaps it is just that there is only so much to do inside, and that includes eating.

I wonder if any scientific studies have been done regarding the relationship of rain, and appetite.

The question being.............

Does rain really WHET the appetite?

INTERNET EXPLORER

This blog is being incorrectly read, this morning. I have tried several other browsers, including CHROME.

So far, the only errors are on INTERNET EXPLORER. Specifically, side bar elements do not read in side bar. While all the elements are present, and accounted for, they are located below daily posts.

INTERNET EXPLORER needs remedial reading assistance this morning!

OLDER, SINGLE and STILL DATING

It is true that age brings on memory lapses.

Jerry is just such a guy who has passed age 70. Jerry is smart, financially enabled, good looking, single, and still balancing a dating agenda.

Still dating, Jerry is meeting Edith for dinner at a five star, upper echelon restaurant.

Jerry has been seated as Edith approaches, and sits to join Jerry in a romantic, top of the line dinner date. They converse for awhile, enjoying each other's company for the first few minutes of what looks to be a great evening.

Suddenly, Jerry's attention is diverted to the entry way to the restaurant. In walks Jerry's very close friend, Kate. Jerry doesn't think twice about it until, Kate approaches Jerry.

She converses with Jerry, as Edith gets up in a 'hissy fit,' and leaves. Kate throws a glass of wine at Jerry, and also leaves in a huff. Jerry was alone.

It seems one of those memory lapses caught up with Jerry as he discovers he had double-booked the evening.

All of this just goes to prove: (Get ready for this..........)

YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR KATE, and EDITH, TOO!
