Or are you the one who always has April Fool jokes pulled on you? Tell us about the best jokes you have pulled on people, or have had pulled on you. What was the funniest, worst, biggest failure, etc. Lets have some laughs today! ETA: Oh I see some Joker has been playing with the post award icons. Good job Joker!  |

No jokes here, can't stand practical jokes. Usually they are only funny to the one doing them. Seen too many go wrong to enjoy them. Just a normal day here. I did notice the pictures changed though, very cute. I had spilled coffee earlier, the ice cream splat just makes me sad, ice cream deserves so much better than that.
Not doing much here today, just finished sewing an upcycled tunic top, not sure if I'll list it or keep it for DD. Have another like it to do in a size smaller so will probably start on it in a bit.

Love the new graphics. They are so fun. No jokers here unless the kittehs have something in mind. I am wearing new blue sandals today. Got out all the ones that I bought on sale at Bealls Florida last fall online. It was like Christmas opening the boxes because I forgot what I bought. I am so easily amused.  |

I love jokes! Just not ones that will make me scream or jump out of my skin! I think the worst joke would be telling someone they won money and they didn't.
I took some pictures and listed a few things.
I am off to take my DD to a new MS doctor because her other one stinks.
Maybe I can get some more listings in tonight. I like to start the month strong!

I love the new pics, too. LOL. I think the Crocs one amused me the most.
No jokes here today either. Stephanie, I agree with you about the money ones. I've seen a couple of pranks on TV where they give the person what appears to be a winning lottery ticket as a joke. To me, that is SO cruel. I can't imagine anyone thinking that's funny.

I'm so bad at remembering jokes (regular jokes - not the practical ones) so I never have any to tell. But I did pull a practical joke on my DH before we were married.
I woke up one morning with a hoarse voice. Even I was surprised how un-like me I sounded. Well a few days prior to this, I went with pre-DH to the eye doctor for his annual eye exam and to order new glasses. So the day I woke up hoarse, I figured that when I called pre-DH, he'd never know it was me, so I thought I'd have a little fun. So I called him and said I was from the eye doctor's office and that we had lost his prescription and he would have to come in again for another examination.
Now a little background - DH is terrible about making doctor's appointments, he just doesn't want to spare the time. So for him to even go for the eye exam in the first place was a big deal. So after I finish speaking, there is silence on the line and I know he is fuming and probably trying to contain himself and not say anything rude - which frankly, could have gone either way. So after a few long seconds he says "you what???" So I repeat what I said, and say that we're terribly sorry, but what would be the best time for him to come in again. Silence again. "Are you serious?" he says. At this point I couldn't contain my laughter - which was really one of those almost silent laughs due to my hoarseness. It told him that it was only a joke, that it was really me, all4sale, with a sore throat. Silence again. He did then laugh, but I don't know if he was laughing because our relationship was relatively new and he didn't want to get mad in front of me, or if he really did think it was funny. It was funny to me, though, since I was able to pull it off.

I used to work at a high end country club and we played a prank on the club manager one April Fool's. We gave him a message slip that Mr. Fish had called, and put the number of the local zoo on the slip. He called, thought we'd transposed the numbers (didn't get the joke), looked for a Mr. Fish on the member list (danged if we didn't really have a member with the last name "fish"!) and called him. After talking with Mr Fish, the two of them figured out it was an April Fool's joke, had a good laugh about it….
And decided to prank us back. The manager came in our office and said Mr. Fish was very upset and thought it was very unprofessional and unbecoming for a private club of our caliber to be doing something like this, and he would be canceling his membership. As well as the memberships of his other 5 employees. We were like, "oh crap" until we looked up Mr. Fish and his membership (family, non-business) and realized the manager turned the prank on us. Mr. Fish came in for dinner that night, and the manager comped the dinner since Mr. Fish had been such a good sport about it all.

The only time that I thoroughly enjoy jokes is at a comedy club joint with a cocktail in hand.

No a joke person here either.
I did get outside to rake up maple tree branches--got a wheelbarrow full-took lots of bending over-ugh. Started up my lil John Deere tractor to keep it charged.
Then did 8 minutes of my new cardio TV thing. Need chocolate now.....
Will do treadmill and free weights tonight like a good girl.

I went to the pool this morning for my physical therapy and they had put a bunch of rubber duckies in it for April Fools. There were at least 25 or 30 of them in all sizes and types. Was kind of fun exercising with the ducks. The therapists there are a fun bunch. Did my wednesday grocery shopping and stopped at Lowes to get the last of the plants I needed for the yard. Scored a beautiful 5 gallon Azalea from the damaged/wilted rack for only $5 because it had a cracked branch on the back and isn't perfectly round. It is already covered with flower buds and will have gorgeous white flowers. I planted some chives, bee balm, gold moneywort and a yellow pear tomato. All my pots are full and I'm done. Now all I need to do is water and enjoy.  Was worn out by then and too a long nap with the cats.  All in all a pretty darn good day. |

My granddaughter 14 stayed overnight as she did not have school but mom did. I took her to the hairdresser and then Wendys. It was an expensive outing to the tune of $75. Of course she had to get some new products for the straight hair look! She is fun to hang out with though and sure keeps me young.
