Newfoundland declares war on the U.S.A.

President Obama was in the Oval Office wondering which country to invade next, when his telephone rang.

"Hallo, President Obama " a heavily accented voice said. "This is Archie, up ere at the Harp Seal Pub in Badger's Cove , Newfoundland , Canada , he? I am cal lin' to tells ya dat we are officially declaring war on ya!"

"Well Archie," Obama replied, "This is indeed important news ! How big is your army ?"

"Right now," said Archie, after a moments calculation "there is myself, me cousin Harold , me next-door-neighbor Mick, and the whole dart team from the pub. That makes eight!"

Obama paused. "I must tell you Archie that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Holy Jeez," said Archie. "I'll have at call ya back!"Sure enough, the next day, Archie called again. " Mr. Obama , the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Archie?" Obama asked.

"Well sir, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry 's farm tractor."
President Obama sighed. "I must tell you Archie, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke."

"Lard t'underin' bye", said Archie, "I'll be getting back to ya."

Sure enough, Archie rang again the next day.. " President Obama , the war is still on! We have managed to git ourselves airborne! We up an' modified Harrigan's ultra-light wit a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four byes from the Legion have joined us as well!"

Obama was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. "I must tell you Archie that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"

"Jumpins," said Archie, "l'll have at call youse back."

Sure enough, Archie called again the next day. " President Obama ! I am sorry to have to tell you dat we have had to call off dis 'ere war."

"I'm sorry to hear that" said Obama . "Why the sudden change of heart?"

Well, sir," said Archie, "we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over a bunch of pints, and come to realize dat dere's no way we can feed two million prisoners."

CANADIAN CONFIDENCE CANNOT BE SHAKEN!

Just a short note for those who know these people....

First off Uncle Leo passed away yesterday February 7, 2009 at noon hour... we had got a call Friday night saying that he had suffered a heart attack... anyone that doesn't know who he is ... he is Aunt Theresa's husband...and Aunt Theresa is Nanny Odille's (mom) sister... his body is rest at Elhatton's today and his funeral is tomorrow morning at 11 am at the Scared Heart Cathedral...

The follow people are not members of the family but they are people that most of us knew when we were growing up and thought I should mention them....

Blair Doucet who lived around the basin passed away February 3... Julie Chaisson who passed away February 7... she is the lady who lived next to Betty Garrett...for long as I have known her she has been battling heart trouble or cancer... also Gerald Roy he was married to Isabelle Chaisson and if I am not mistaken he came down stairs for Sunday breakfast and had a heart attack...

I just thought some people that are out of town and that have been living in South would like to know about these people... it just seems in the last few weeks more and more people that we know are going to meet their maker...

Also since there has not been all that much to write about around here with me working more and more each day with the photos of Carl's parents... I thought I should put something up today....

May they all rest in peace, prayers and deepest thoughts to all their families because it is not those that leave this earth we should be sad for it for those who they leave behind... Joanne

It is Someones Birthday...

It is your birthday today

And you are the big 50 without too much celebration except with your family... but I wanted to say a Special Happy Birthday to you...because you are a very precious person to me...

Of course me being the brat that I am I had to do some digging for the 50 years so I thought a trip down memory lane .... he he

Happy Birthday Sweet thing...

Love Jo

Carl around 7 months old...

and him at around a few years old... (are you regretting giving me all these photos yet he he) Carl with is little sister Susan... down country..

Grandmother with Susan and Carl

Carl, Susan and his Great Grandfather...

Not sure if Susan is hiding her eyes or crying but I am sure it is the hiding... he has always took his big brother role very seriously from what I have heard...

(and I know I am going to get hung for the next one but I just had too)

Mr. Muscle Man... and proud to show it ...

All grown up and a daddy ....

And this is him this morning...as he fed the puppies oranges and sat with me as I finished up what he started for his dinner this evening...

Thank you for being a part of my life... and being the man you are...actually for that I will thank your mom and dad...

I have often told you I love you actually many times a day.... but it has been a very long time since I have told you that I am whole heartly in love with you....

Hope you have a very happy 50th Birthday hon....

Talk Trash....LOL

I had a different blog written a few minutes ago... but have changed my mind... it is my turn to vent about some things around here... ohhhhh but before that I want to add some photos Pat sent me as she was driving home this weekend... a couple cleaning their roof off bfore the next big storm...

If we get the snow they are calling for these people are not going to have to worry about the snow on their roof... I think they will have to worry if they will be able to find they place afterwards... he he ... Jo is a brat... I know... don't you just love her....LOL

This morning when I went to read the blogs which are as few as mine have been by the way ... Danie had hers up .... The R's in GRRR Stand For Recycle Reduce Reuse and of course me being me had some off the wall remarks to say about all of it... of course we don't really have a recyclable system here in this town unless they want to call those big blue thingies that are around town that are always full when you take your recyclables there to put them in.... I wonder if they expect to drive your garbage around until they decide to empty them out so you can empty yours in... ohhh well it only happened a few times and yes I am not recycling anything that can't be recycled from my door step thank you very much... it goes into the garbage bin that is wheeled to the road at the end of the week to be dumped into the garbage truck to be hauled away ...

I had a little story about my trip to the mail box this afternoon after reading and commenting on Danie's blog... I have to admit I am not a faithful mail goer... if I get there once a month the mail lady probably does the dance of joy to see my mail box empty finally... BUT she wouldn't be stuffing my stuff into the box if people would stop sending me things I don't want... like ads for the week...great deals that are not great deals at Rogers, Bell express view... captial one should be fined for all the junk mail they put out.... and then every week like clock work on Thursday just before garbage day a bag of flyers show up... and (Oh he is going to kill me) if I get them before Carl does they go in the garbage.... and I have actually asked these people not to drop them off... but they still do... I have asked the mail lady NOT to put this stuff in my mail box but she does.... it is only trash to me and that is where it goes.... happy recycling to those who are...

Have a great one all... and I will try to be better at the blog... Joanne
