Lately, my posts haven't been feeding to dashboard reader. I might've screwed something up when I messed with Networked Blogs trying to get my blog posts to Facebook. So far, no success. It's been a time wasting stress fest trying to get it all figured out.
Anyway, it looks like my feeder issues are worked out (hopefully).
If you missed my last two posts, I'm a Blog Stalker! and an interview with debut author Caroline Starr Rose--go check them out.
And now a little humor therapy...
Subject: THE BAGPIPER
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave side service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back-country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost; and being a typical man
I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.
There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, " never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I'm mentally challenged sometimes--at first I thought you were the bagpiper (you're husband is a musician, right? at least I think I've got that right). Eventually though I realized this was a joke. Hangs head but laughing.

Ha! That's a good one. :o) And if it makes you feel better, Networked Blogs doesn't like me either--I still haven't gotten it to work right.

ReplyDeleteThat was great! Nice twist. It took me some time to get Networked Blogs to work right. You can add them manually. Ask your FB friends to join it. When you get to 20 it, you're in a different category and it posts immediately.
