Rob's trips / Satan's trick / A quiet square...

Hi There folks,

While I was laying out the breakfast this morning Rob asked me to watch his neck and shoulders while he tried an experiment - I was to watch carefully while he walked from one side of the living room through to the kitchen and then back again .... Being a very obedient wife (hehe) I did as I was asked and watched patiently while he walked through to the kitchen a couple of times then I thought  ...   What in the world was he on about,  I was beginning to think he had joined me in the land of the aged doolally folk who wander in their heads as well as their feet ...   His next comment was  "look at my feet."....   I looked down and saw that he was wearing one shoe and one slipper ..... He has definitely joined the doolallies I thought ...

You are probably wondering what the point of all this is and where we are going with it  -  and believe me there is a point.  Two years ago my dear husband was having problems walking without constantly tripping over (and that was without the help of alcohol by the way )... he went to hospital where he was made a pair of  insoles along with a pair of  new shoes.   They took account of the fact that his arches had  fallen away and they felt that this was the reason for his trips...   Since then been wearing these wonderful inventions - that is, until he fell in November on the ice and broke his hip.

We're finally getting there (to the point I mean) ... This morning he had been thinking about why he had been tripping up again recently and had after much thought figured out why and what was causing  having painful knees and legs since then.   It dawned on him that the side of the hip which he had broken was now shorter than it had been and by only using one shoe which was on that side and a slipper on the other,  the two legs would be the same length!  Yeehahhh !  we finally got there (to the point I mean ).

So I thought great ! we will soon be heading to the hospital so that they can arrange to again measure his feet and legs and order up new  insoles which will take account of the different leg lengths...  amazing or what !!  Rob might be a bit forgetful at times but he still has a working brain ...

Uh ohhh ... I knew things were going too well !!   Latest news on the leg front - Rob has re-thought his experiment and has had another brainwave so is now engrossed in further plans so I will keep you posted  'as soon as'  folks...

I couldn't resist passing on this funnie, it's one I heard some time ago but it's worth a second outing ... 

An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his dossier and not seeing his name there, accidentally sends him to Hell. It doesn’t take long before the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell.He soon begins to design and build improvements.Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

One day, God calls Satan and says with a sneer: So, how are things in Hell? Satan replies: Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. And there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.What! God exclaims: You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake, he should never have been sent to Hell. Send him to me...

Not a chance, Satan replies: I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him!  God insists: Send him back or I’ll sue!

Satan laughs uproariously and answers:  Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?
