HAPPY THANKSGIVING

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by
consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and
anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back.

John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the
bird and shoved him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet.
Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot,
John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched
arms and said 'I believe I may have offended you
with my rude language and actions.
I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions
and I fully intend to do everything I can to
correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.'

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a
dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued....

........"May I inquire as to what the turkey did?'


~ Happy Thanksgiving to all ~

SUNDAY MUSING

Let me say, today was a wonderful day as my children were gone all day so it was very quiet here. I watched a lot of my shows that I had on tape and let me say I loved it very much. It was nice to watch what I wanted to...Plus I watched YOU GOT MAIL and then THE BODYGUARD.

During this time, I was able to put all my fall decorations away and I started decorating for the holidays. I know, I know it is early yet but I couldn't help myself.....

At the meeting today the topic was towards football....


"Setting a goal is not the main thing. It's deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan." by Tom Landry

Individual success starts at the meeting...
You have to stick to the plan.
We all stumble.
Keep your eye on the goal.
Believe in your abilities and never give up...

Well another week done and another week to go....
