funny friday ladies jokes

A woman goes to a doctor to discuss her husband’s infertility problem. The doctor says, “Just give your husband these Viagra pills in his next meal, and stand back.”
The woman goes home and hands the pills to her cook who was preparing dinner for a dinner party later that night. The woman says to the cook, “Just put two of these in my husband’s dinner tonight.”
As the woman walks out of the kitchen the cook thinks, “Sure, like I got nothing better to do,” and she throws the whole bunch into the soup.
As the guests were sitting down to dinner, the cook comes out of the kitchen and advises the lady of the house that she must speak to her in that there is a big problem in the kitchen. The lady of the house follows the cook into the kitchen and demands to know what is going on.
The cook admits to throwing all the pills into the soup and cries, “I don’t know what to do, the meat balls have doubled in size, and the vermicelli is standing straight up!”

The pharmacist said, “It’s not going to work that well, cutting the Viagra that many times.”

Glue Dots Summer Bonding Project

Posted in Family, Health, Life on July 5th, 2010 by redkathy – 4 Comments

Rambo Alert – TwitterMoms – Glue Dots Oh My!! I was so excited to be a part of the Glue Dots Summer Craft event!

The Glue Dots Project immediately brought to mind my niece Erika. There is a story behind my excitement so please indulge me, as a share my parenting story first.

Glue Dots Summer Bonding Project

You see I have a wonderful, loving niece who as a teen, had a passion for scrap booking and crafts. We spent many nights scrap booking together. Today,  Erika loves to do crafts with her three year old baby girl. Of course that makes Lulu, as well call her, my great niece. I am so pleased with and darn proud of my niece; she is a wonderful mom and has a beautiful, well behaved, and charismatic daughter. No one in the family would have ever imagined her life would turn out this way. You see, my niece was one of those unruly teens and I was the wicked aunt who took up the challenge of taming her. She lived with our family for some time, and after moving out continued working in our office until she graduated from high school. With due diligence we kept her close, rallied for family support, and expelled more love than could be imagined. My niece went on to married a fine man, further her bookkeeping skills, and give us precious  Lulu!

When I told Erika about the Glue Dots Summer Bonding Project she was excited too! “Another project for Lulu and I, oh yeah we can do that!” Without further delay I would like to share with you Erika’s quick and inexpensive Glue Dots Summer Bonding project, suitable for boys and girls alike. These cute canisters serve an abundance of purposes, including a lovely way to store just about anything, fun and economical project to create with kids, and a great way to recycle cans, jars, or boxes.

Age Spots, I hate ‘em!

Posted in Family, Health, Life on July 3rd, 2010 by redkathy – 3 Comments

Age spots, aka liver spots are quite annoying let me tell you. These buggers seemed to simply appear one day and continue to pop up randomly. I think this aging symptom is worse than grey hair. What do you think?

Age spots typically develop in fair skinned people like myself, lucky me. They range in size from a freckle to more than one centimeter and can be grouped, looking more pronounced and ugly. Of course, years of sun basking without UV protection increase the amount of age spots. Wish someone had told me that back in the day. I mean I did use sun block but may have opted out of being on the beach simply to tan had I known about these brown blotches.

There are many over the counter bleaching creams available to lighten age spots. With the pigment being at the base of the topmost layer of skin, the epidermis, treatments will have to penetrate that layer. According to the Mayo Clinic, prescribed bleaching creams used in combination with retinoid, a chemical that is structured similar to vitamin A, will have a greater effect. In either case, age spots should fade slowly over a period.

It is so hard to know what creams might work and what are bull. Plus, my skin is really sensitive. Maybe you all can shed some more light on the subject.

Have you used age spot creams or had medical treatment for them? Do you have a recommendation?

Funny Friday – About Husbands

Posted in Laughs for Ladies on July 2nd, 2010 by redkathy – 1 Comment

Wives and Husbands

Audrey Meadows & Jackie Gleason – The Honeymooners

Alice: Boy, you men kill me; you’re all alike. You want us women to bow and scrape at your feet. You men just think that you own this world.
Ralph: Yeah, but you women get revenge. You marry us!

eBaum’s World

A man had a hemorrhoid and badly needed cream. He would be so embarrassed to go and buy the best hemorrhoid treatment cream at his local pharmacy for obvious reasons.

What should he do to get the cream without stealing, buying it at the register, and not be embarrassed?

He should buy the cream along with a box of tampons! He is not embarrassed, and he looks like a wonderful husband.

Lucille Ball – I Love Lucy

“Oh Ethel did you ever wish there was something else to marry besides men?”

Rodney Dangerfield

“I’m sitting on top of the world, and I’ve got hemorrhoids.”

My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.

“With my wife, I get no respect. I fell asleep with a cigarette in my hand. She lit it.”

Jerry Seinfeld

Men want the same thing from women that they want from their underwear… a little support, comfort, and freedom.
