The Good Banter Thread

[HTH]

I recall just a few days ago some one posted some thing about feeding the non wax part of the comb to koi.

Hey Lou good to see you friend! I think you should have saved all that honey, bottled it up and sold it and used the funds to fix your house! Did you even taste it? I sure would'a :cheerful:

Seems like those koi will eat just about anything we eat.

I got an e-mail and went to check it out and looking at everything they have and cheaper than pet mountain on some stuff .Looking at the tornado pump 33 ft cord 3 year warranty and runs 135 watts at 2600 gph .I have a neighbor that uses the pure pond stuff in his farm pond and he has koi and goldies and noticed the stuff when I was there yesterday and his pond is 15 ft deep and you can almost see the bottom .He has 2 -150 gallon stock tank filters and told me he has been using the stuff for 2 years now and tries to keep it clear for wedding pics and graduation pics that he rents his property out for .I did not know where he bought it is a slow release bacteria

A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He ...said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it...?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to GOD and those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

You are special-Don't EVER forget it." If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it may bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.

Hello all you "banter thread" friends!! Where have I been?? Lost in my yard, worked too many long days at work, and I think the flood wash me away for a while! Was too consumed with my own issues, but now I am back on this thread again, even if it is 4:22 am, BIG Yawn... and I still have not gone to sleep.....

 

[j.w]

I am recovering from the results of too much good food and a few strong spirits from last nights gathering. Trying to work up energy to go out and help clean up the destruction :0000000057: ........ :biggrin:......... :bye2:

Hey Lou good to see you friend! I think you should have saved all that honey, bottled it up and sold it and used the funds to fix your house! Did you even taste it? I sure would'a :cheerful:

We did taste the honey. Beautiful clear golden and oh so sweet. The best honey we ever tasted. The combs were dark brown due to their age so that concerned us.

The first potential siding contractor to be here in a few minutes.

Now Lou, doesn't all this make you want to just run out and invest in some nice friendly bee hives to install in your back yard? Look what you are missing, all that yummy good for you honey. Don't trust them tho they might hook up w/ the bad boys and you'll be right back where you started!

After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and ...watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 23-year-old girl every night.

Now, I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems


CUTE STORY...thanks MMathis

thank Mmathis for this one as well....

Chris said to his father, "Dad I just passed my drivers test and I was wondering if you could help me buy my first car".
His father said he’d make a deal with his son
"You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.’"
The boy thought abo...ut that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said
"Son, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut."
The boy said,
"You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair…and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair."
The Dad replied:
’Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?

this one too...


A blonde was taking helicopter lessons. The instructor said, "I'll radio you every 1000 feet to see how you're doing."
At 1000 feet, the instructor radioed her and said she was doing great. At 2000 feet, he said she was still doing well.
Right before she got to 3000 feet, the propeller stopped, and she twirled to the ground. The instructor ran to where she crash landed and pulled her out of the helicopter. "What went wrong?"
The blonde said, "At 2500 feet, I started to get cold, so I turned the big fan off."
