A cowboy, who just moved to Montana from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud.
He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy,
"You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it.
It would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers.
One is in Arizona, the other is in Colorado.
When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together.
So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.
The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.
He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs.
All the regulars take notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my
condolences on your loss."
The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.
"Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains.
"It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking."
“It hasn't affected my brothers though."

By the way, NPP is doing great, playing with the Welsh Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull terrier. The three 140 pound Mastiffs are too much for him right now.
NPP says THANK YOU to all those who had him in their prayers.

Good to hear.... yes I bet 140 Lbs of dog can be a handful and 3 of them! WoW...

Actually, pound for pound the 38 pound Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the most powerful of the lot. All 5 are trained service dogs and therapy dogs. The dogs we have had over our lifetime together were always service dogs whose job it has been to comfort the boys we work with and provide a sympathetic listener when they needed a sympathetic dog to hug and a wagging tail to understand their anger and fear that childhoods of abuse leave behind. They also serve as our protection living out in the middle of nowhere.
All are purebred, from reliable breeders so we know how they were raised, that they are healthy and that the breeder can help with any idiosyscracies the dog might have. All are neutered males as those are the most reliable and the reproductive hormones are not there to get in the way of training.

LOL, I must have trouble paying attn to my own posting .. darn..

Or maybe I was referring to the eternal spirit group of Seth.. so including you all, that would be "the" Seth..

Could be a little lame in that attempt..

ANyway,, my wife and I had our daughter and her youngest son for the day and while it was very quite compared to the usual, it was pleasant.. watched a bunch of Brit box TV.. I will learn to like that I suppose..

In any event the long week end is not over.. do continue to enjoy and all have a good time..

Christmas will soon be with us..

Thanks, for a good laugh which most of us need. I will share the joy with friends and family too.

I am sure that NPP would agree with you. I am a child of a farm family and we are tough and determined people. Back in those days people with small family farms had to struggle just to keep the farm going, so we were determined and refused to let other people take over our farm or our family. We were a step above however because dad was a farm veterinarian. But then NPP came from an abusive family, not psyically but definiately mentally and emotionally. So we are both stubborn and opinionated people. Too bad, COPE with it!!!
