The real reason I was banned from Benefits Link

Because I posted Jokes like this......

 

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

Never banned, Tom -- you're always welcome here ... because of jokes like this.  😀

How's life on the other side?

[Tom Poje]

Life on the other side - my humble opinion God was kind enough to erase almost all pension knowledge from my mind. Had quit work a couple years ago to take care of mom (she died a few months ago at age 96) Might not have a lot of cash, but enough to get by, I get to daily Mass (except for a few months of covid closure) and wouldn't have it any other way. It is simply so fantastic to be able to get up and pray with others, play the psaltery once and a while, etc. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

So sorry to hear about your mom, Tom -- but delighted to hear that you're doing well.  "Erasing all pension knowledge" sound like nirvana (although we do miss your contributions here). 

So good to hear from you -- be well!

One for Tom.

Bear sees hunter, starts chasing hunter. Hunter finally runs out of breath, turns to bear. "Please -- please -- don't eat me!" Hunter closes his eyes and begins reciting the Rosary -- "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you..." -- Bear then exclaims, "Peace be with you! I'm Catholic too!" -- Hunter's eyes open wide, and he breathes a sigh of relief. -- Bear, licking lips, says, "Bless us, O Lord, for these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty..."

Miss your intelligent, honest mind, Tom, but see you have it focused on the more important stuff.
