The Chicken Chronicles of Hearing Loss and Love

 

An old man notices that his wife seems to be having trouble hearing.

He suggests she get a hearing test, but she firmly refuses. Determined to show her that there’s an issue, he hatches a plan.

He goes upstairs, grabs a recorder, and turns it on. Knowing she’s in the kitchen, he yells downstairs, “Honey, what’s for supper?”

There’s no response. So he goes down the stairs and tries again, “Honey, what’s for supper?” Still nothing.

Next, he enters the living room and shouts, “Honey, what’s for supper?” No answer.

He even stands right outside the kitchen door and calls, “What’s for supper?” But still, there’s silence.

Finally, he walks right up behind her and exclaims, “Honey! What’s for supper?!”

She spins around and replies, “Damnit, Al! For the hundredth time, it’s CHICKEN!!!”


Moral of the Story:

Sometimes, people just need a little push to realize there's a problem. Whether it's a hearing issue or a toxic relationship with parents unable to hear, it's up to us to be the catalyst for change. And when they finally do, it's best to be prepared for the reaction. Just like Al, we may need to shout a few times before our loved ones finally hear us out. But in the end, it's all about finding a solution and moving forward together. Even when it requires patience!

A Shocking Honeymoon Surprise

 

At a quaint tourist hotel, there was a lot of chatter about the afternoon wedding. The groom was 95, while his bride was just 23.

The groom looked fragile, and many were concerned that their wedding night might be his last, especially with such a vibrant, young bride by his side.

But to everyone’s amazement, it was the bride who made the headlines the next morning. She descended the staircase, clutching the banister, step by painful step, looking utterly exhausted.

Reaching the front desk, the hotel clerk couldn’t hide his shock.

“Goodness, dear! You look like you’ve been through a marathon! What happened?”

The bride, out of breath and barely able to stand, sighed and whispered, “He told me he’d been saving up for 75 years… I thought he was talking about his money!”


Moral of the Story:

  Life is full of surprises, and sometimes the biggest ones come in the smallest packages. Whether it's a honeymoon surprise or a life lesson, it's how we react to these unexpected twists and turns that truly defines us. So, the next time you're faced with a shock, remember to take a deep breath, laugh it off, and keep moving forward. After all, as the saying goes, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade... or in this case, when life gives you a 95-year-old groom, make sure you know what he's saving up for!"

This totally-true story reminds us that age is just a number, and love knows no bounds. It's never too late to find happiness and start a new chapter in life. So, don't be afraid to take risks, follow your heart, and embrace the unexpected. You never know what surprises life has in store for you, but with an open mind and a positive attitude, you can turn any situation into a beautiful adventure. You just have to take that leap of faith.

How a Real Man Let Go of Toxic Relationships to Find True Happiness

 

My dad once shared a story with me about walking into a room where a couple of his 'friends' were talking about him. They didn’t realize he was there, listening in. Instead of confronting them, he just shook his head, smiled, and quietly walked away. Why fight them? Gossiping is part of bad people's character, and a fight will never change that. And when one thinks about it, it's even a compliment when people gossip about you, they deem your worthy enough to be discussed.

  He also told me about a friend who had spoken badly about him behind his back. That friend never knew Dad had found out, and Dad never mentioned it. He simply smiled and walked away from that friendship.

  Then, there were family members who cut him out of their lives because he stood up for herself. He stopped crossing oceans for them when they wouldn’t even help him cross a bridge, as a matter of speech. (We have all seen that motivational meme on Facebook.) And once again, he smiled, shook his head, and walked away. While family ties are super important, having a toxic family will hold you back and destroy your soul.

  I asked him how he could just walk away from people who had betrayed him, pretending to be friends or family. His answer stayed with me: Every time he came to a crossroad, he had to decide who would continue the journey with him and who could not come along.

Dad explained that there’s no need to be angry at those who betray you, even if they claim to be your friend or family. Just gracefully step away and continue with your plan like a map in hand towards your goals, on your route to true happiness without such people around. Their bad characteristics will inevitably catch up with them, and they'll have to endure their self-made misery without you around to help. What bad things they did to you, they will do to others, until it inevitably comes back to destroy them.

Be there for your friends, lover, and partner. But when they betray you or cheat on you, just step away. What they did will come back to them, with interest. It's like Life's Curse.

Loyalty in a Glass of Beer with a Double Dose of Commitment and Love

 

A cowboy, fresh from Texas, strolls into a bar in Montana and orders three mugs of Bud. He heads to a corner, takes a sip from each mug, one after the other, in turn. Once he’s done, he returns to the bar and orders three more.

  Curious, the bartender approaches him and says, "You know, beer goes flat pretty quick after it’s poured. It might taste better if you just ordered one at a time."

  The cowboy smiles and explains, "Well, here’s the thing. I’ve got two brothers—one in Arizona, the other in Colorado. When we all moved away from Texas, we promised that whenever we drank, we’d each have one for the others, just like we did back home. So, I’m drinking for my brothers and myself."

The bartender nods, impressed by the sentiment, and leaves it at that.

  The cowboy becomes a regular, always ordering three beers and sipping them in rotation. One day, though, he walks in and only orders two mugs. The regulars, noticing the change, go quiet. When the cowboy returns to the bar for his second round, the bartender cautiously leans in and says, "I’m sorry for your loss. I just wanted to offer my condolences."

The cowboy looks confused for a second, then bursts out laughing. "Oh no, no one’s passed away!" he chuckles. "It’s just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church, so I had to quit drinking. But my brothers are still going strong!"

Moral of the story

Life is all about connection, whether it’s through shared drinks or heartfelt promises and commitment. The cowboy reminds us that even in the midst of change, the bonds we form with family, friends, and most importantly, life partners, can add flavor to our lives.

Raise a glass (or two) to the moments that bring us together! (Just don't get drunk with the wrong men.)

And remember, while life may require us to make sacrifices, it doesn’t mean we have to lose our sense of humor—or the love we have for those who are still enjoying the ride. Cheers to finding joy in every sip, even if it comes with a twist!

Love is Not Luck: The Secrets to a Lasting Relationship Are So Simple!

 

When you see a married couple still deeply in love after many years, it's easy to think they are simply lucky. But in truth, luck has little to do with lasting love.

They've made countless compromises, chosen to overlook each other’s faults, and forgiven many mistakes. They respected each other, they did not betray each other, they did not cheat on each other.

They have faced problems together and grown through the challenges. They’ve spent years learning to understand and support one another.

Love is not about luck—it’s about mutual giving, compromise, shared dreams, care, respect, mercy, and patience. It’s a journey they’ve built together, not by chance, but by choice.

15 Life Lessons Every Boy Should Know

 

As a young boy growing up, there are certain lessons that can shape your character, influence your relationships, and ultimately determine your success in life. These 15 lessons are essential for every boy to learn, as they provide valuable insights into how to treat others with respect, build strong relationships, and navigate the challenges of life with wisdom and grace. These lessons will help you become a better person and make a positive impact on the world around you.

1. Women are not objects – Treat every female with respect, except when they treat you with disrespect. It goes both ways. Women are not possessions; do not believe religious books claiming that women are inferior to men.

2. Fists aren’t solutions – Violence never solves problems; communication does.

3. Happiness isn’t bought – True contentment doesn’t come from money or power. It comes from a woman not cheating on you, and chocolate chip cookies.

4. Force isn’t manliness – Real strength comes from patience, not aggression. If only everyone had patience while goals are being reached and plans start coming together.

5. Respect goes further – More than flowers or gifts, respect is what builds lasting relationships. It goes both ways, though.

6. Trust your gut – Your instincts are powerful; listen to them, they’ll save you more often than not.

7. Never outgrow "Mom" – No matter your age, calling your mother “Mom” or “Mama” shows love. “You” is for friends. Except when she doesn't deserve it, and is toxic as hell. Then you should call her "Goodbye".

8. Dress the part – Sometimes, neat clothes can be the difference between a “yes” or a “no.” First impressions count. Don't upload bad selfies to the internet.

9. Success has many keys – Whether it’s in sports, art, music, or writing, each passion has its own door to unlock.

10. Choose role models wisely – Bright lights can blind you to red flags. Be careful who you admire. But do get a mentor, even if that person does not know about you.

11. Stay curious – Every corner holds a story; always be open to learning. It helps with great spelling, too, which disciplines your brain and improves your ability to solve problems. Stop taking shortcuts, work with a plan, no matter how hard it gets. It will pass, and the rewards will be shared unconditionally.

12. Earn it, don’t expect it – No one is entitled to what they want. You work hard for what you have and should cherish and protect it.

13. Meditate, learn to believe in and to love yourself - Meditation is a form of hypnosis, bringing about relaxation and clarity, and helps you to align your beliefs with your actions.

14. Own your choices – Your friends won’t be held responsible for your actions. Think before you act. Again, avoid shortcuts just to scratch an itch, it may take you off a good path and dump your life forever in misery.

15. Choose humility over arrogance – Running with the popular crowd teaches arrogance; sitting with everyday people teaches humility, but mixing with winners will turn you into a winner too.

And that's it! Go teach your boys these points.

The Terminator Parodies You Must Deny Knowing About

 

Yay! Who remembers the hit movie Terminator from the 1980s? Arnold Schwarzenegger made "I'll be back" famous, and... it is back! Since we're talking time travel here, the 'sequel' was already back, if we're going to get all technical. Yep, I'm talking about a follow-up to the cult film, and what an unusual comeback it was. Not just one, but three very unusual films, actually. The humorous but tragic part, though, is that you, dear decent prim and proper church-going reader, must pretend you don't know anything about it...

Pew Research compared America today vs America 2004

 

The brain weighs just 1.5 kilograms. And yet it can accomplish so many great things, but also fail so spectacularly. In an article by the research company Pew Research, they look back at what they asked people in 2004, and compare it with how people feel about the same subjects today. The article is filled with some interesting statistics, some quite alarming. 

 

Ignorance tends to be widespread among 'Muricans, and it is no surprise that most Americans get their news from Orwellian websites like Facebook and other social media. Truly a gold mine for the evil elite like Mark Zuckerberg, and also to garner control and leverage over the minions. And how is it possible that 10% of Americans still don't own a smartphone? That's like 20 million adults! 

Respect is NOT earned, and you must read why

 

Let me kick this post off by saying outright, FORGET the junk cliché that “respect is earned”. That is nonsense. It is illogical. It is misleading and impractical, and it flies in the face of our rights. Likewise, it is one of those internet clichés that are devoid of all truth, and that gets people to believe something that isn't true.

We are all strangers to many other people. The wild internet claim that a stranger first has to earn one's respect is harmful to your right to be treated properly. The superior idiot with his victim-mentality that came up with that saying only earned himself a kick in the balls, that's what.
