Re: Need a giggle? Look here!

Bonita,
I wish we lived closer too! Maybe one of us will hit the lottery...then we can afford to travel!!

I think you will be very pleased with the way your surgery turns out! My surgery was 11 hours...and I woke up refreshed...not tired at all...the surgeons on the other hand...they looked beat!!

If you have any questions...PM me...no question is off limits! If we don't help each other...who will?!

If you want to post jokes or cartoons...this is how:
~"go advanced" (instead of "post a quick reply")
~type the joke or some message (you can't post a cartoon or image without at least a short message too)
~scroll down the page and click on "manage attachments"
~A new browser window will open
~if the image is on your computer...click on "browse"...find the image or cartoon...double click it...then, click on "upload"

~if you want to add something from the Internet...click on "upload file from a URL"...copy and paste the URL (web address) into the box...then, click upload

Close the window...then, click "preview post" to make sure it worked!

Have fun! Looking forward to a few good giggles soon!
Denise
