Re-reading some of the handwritten ones I would go on for pages about something or other. Stream of consciousnesses writing.
When I switched to the computer the entries were terser.

Nowadays, restaurants are charging the 20% gratuity BEFORE you get your food

Sheesh. God asks for only 10 per cent.

Joe,

When I switched to the computer the entries were terser.

It's sad at what a poor command of the language that people have.

Sheesh. God asks for only 10 per cent.

I think of the joke where this guy never gave a tithe or much of anything
to the church. Well, one day, he hit the lotto big time, and won ten
million dollars.

Yet, the guy had a heart condition, and he was hospitalized for different surgery. The family was afraid that the news of him winning would cause a
fatal heart attack. So, they asked the pastor to break the news to him.

He said "Mr. Smith, you haven't given much to The Lord's Work through
your life. Yet, He has seen to bless you with a winning ticket of ten
million dollars". The man replied "Good!! That means I can give a one
million dollar tithe next Sunday".

And, the preacher dropped dead!! <G>
