YAY, I finally got pictures of my jewelry on to the computer!
This is one of my favorites, but there are more under the cut…
I do all of the metal work (except for some of the clasps; i.e. spring rings, lobster clasps and toggles)

RETIREMENT SEX
Two men were talking. So, how's your sex life?”
“Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex.”
“Social Security sex?”
“Yeah, you know, “I get a little each month, but not enough to live
on!”
==================================
LOUD SEX
A wife went in to see a therapist and said, “I've got a big problem
doctor. Every time we're in bed and my husband climaxes, he lets out this
ear splitting yell.”
My dear,” the shrink said, “that's completely natural. I don't see what
the problem is.”
“The problem is,” she complained, “It wakes me up!”
==================================
QUIET SEX
Tired of a listless sex life, the man came right out and asked his wife
during a recent lovemaking session, “How come you never tell me when
you have an orgasm?”
She glanced at him casually and replied, “You're never home!”
==================================
CONFOUNDED SEX
A man was in a terrible accident, and his “manhood” was mangled and
torn from his body. His doctor assured him that modern medicine could give
him back his manhood, but that his insurance wouldn't cover the surgery
since it was considered cosmetic. The doctor said the cost would be
$3,500 for “small, $6,500 for “medium, $14,000 for “large.”
The man was sure he would want a medium or large, but the doctor urged
him to talk it over with his wife before he made any decision.
The man called his wife on the phone and explained their options.
The doctor came back into the room, and found the man looking dejected.
“Well, what have the two of you decided?” asked the doctor.
The man answered, “She'd rather remodel the kitchen.”
==================================
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY SEX
A husband and his wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th
wedding anniversary. The husband yells, “When you die, I'm getting you a
headstone that reads: 'Here Lies My Wife -Cold As Ever!”
“Yeah,” she replies, “When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that
reads: Here Lies My Husband – Stiff At Last!”
==================================
WOMEN'S HUMOR
My husband came home with a tube of K Y jelly and said, “This will make
you happy tonight.” He was right.
When he went out of the bedroom, I squirted it all over the doorknobs.
He couldn't get back in.
==================================
AGE SEX
One night an 87 yr old woman came home from Bingo to find her 92 yr old
husband in bed with another woman. She became violent and ended up
pushing him off the balcony of their 20th floor assisted living apartment
killing him instantly.
Brought before the court on charge of murder, the judge asked her if
she had anything to say in her defense.
She began coolly, “Yes, your honor, I figured that at 92, if he could
have sex…he could fly.”
I have a another job. The people at Trax Cafe ended up being major assholes! I came home two weeks ago from training at Trax miserable, angry and frustrated, to a phone call from Horizons Cafe asking me to come in for an interview. I started last Thursday and I love it. I can make decent money, the people are wonderful, and the food is amazing! Interestingly enough, the things they love about me are the same things that the people at Trax Cafe hated about me.
Horizons Cafe
I did an hour of yoga this morning — I feel fantastic! I forgot how good doing yoga can make you feel.
I got there late, but it was a great show!
