Happy Twisted Thursday to you all - enjoy the stories Mmmmmm, yummy!!! Health officials in Rockland County, N.Y., issued two complaints against the Great China Buffet restaurant in September after an employee was seen preparing the day's garlic in back of the building by stomping a large bowl of it with his boots on. 

 

 

 

 Things that make you go hmmmmmm........

We have all heard the 'man bites dog' stories, but how about a real-life 'man marries dog' tale!  The groom in question was a 33-year-old Indian farmer named Selvakumar, and he was wed to a female dog named Selvi.  He married his four legged ***** to atone for stoning two other dogs to death and stringing them up in a tree 15 years ago. He believed the act cursed him and he had been suffering ever since, he told the Hindustan Times.  After he stoned the dogs he said his legs and hands got paralysed, he lost hearing in one ear, and his speech was impaired. With doctors unable to help him, Selvakumar turned to an astrologer who told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed.  He could undo the curse only if he married a dog and live with it, the soothsayer warned. Family members chose a stray female dog who was then bathed and clothed for the wedding occasion.  Selvi the bride was brought to the temple by village women and a Hindu priest conducted the ceremony.  The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to his canine bride, which was adorned in an orange sari and flower garland.  The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun. It was reported that Selvi attempted to make a bolt for it -- apparently due to the big crowds -- but she was tracked down and returned to her new 'husband'.  "The dog is only for lifting the curse and after that, he plans to get a real bride," a friend of the groom said. Deeply superstitious people in rural sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can beat certain curses.

 

 

 

And, finally, some cute little funnies to think about as we all get older........ A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?" "No," he replied, "Arthritis

 

 

 

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?" Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really!? Like a newborn baby!?" "Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants. Happy Thursday to you all.  The weekend is only one day away.  Woo Hoo!!!!!!!! Jillie xox xo

Good Morning Jillie and Cali, Love the lil stories in the morning.  I hope to get some errands ran today.  Need to hit costco and vitamin shoppe.  Donald is suppose to come after work this morning and lend a hand.  Him and Jordyn are just too cute together.  My 1 week bathroom remodel is in the second week and it looks like we are headed for a 3rd.  I'm so ready for them to go but then I think what's the diff, the window guy is coming tomorrow and that will be more mess in my house.  C'est la vie. Everyone enjoy the day Monica
