Good Monday Morning, Friends! Cold enough out there for you? The sun has actually shone for parts of the last two days, so even though it’s still chilly, I have no complaints. Did you all have a great weekend? Ready to get back to the salt mines and work hard for another week? Well, since today is Monday, Joyful, Jolly and I are going to do our very best to try to start your week off with some humour to see you through the coming week! Joyful has baked up some goodies to make our mouths smile, so let’s go grab a snack first …
See … I even remembered the bacon for all you bacon-lovers
First off we’ve got just a few cute pictures for you …
And some funny signs …
And now for the ‘toons!!!
Just a few memes, since my collection is starting to overflow …
And last, but never least, it’s time for this week’s cute/funny animal video. Typically these are about cats or dogs or domesticated birds, maybe even penguins or polar bears, but this is the first time I can recall a cute animal video about … an octopus! You’re gonna love it!
And now, folks, I’m sad to say the party’s over. Time for us all to get back into our weekly routine. I love the gorgeous smiles I see on your faces, so be sure to share them with others this week … let’s see how many smiles we can put on other people’s faces! Keep warm and have a great week, dear friends. Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly and Joyful!!!

No worries, my friend … I got a good laugh out of it, and the same thing has happened to me more than once, but I don’t have your perseverance and after 1 or maybe 2 tries, I give up! I have found that when I read/comment on Reader, there’s never a problem … it’s only when we go into the site itself via the email we get or through Google, that there’s a problem. It’s a WordPress glitch, but they don’t seem to be in any hurry to fix it! ❤

Hi Debby!!! Let’s see … I rescued this comment from the ‘pending’ folder, and two others from the ‘Spam’ folder! WordPress was really angry with you today, eh? I’m so glad you enjoyed Jolly Monday and the little octopus! Yes, no storms here … we had a sunny day with temps around 46° … most of the flooding, I think, is on the west coast. 💝

Hello. First I need to start how as a diabetic unable in the real world to enjoy the sweets you posted I have to say I enjoyed them greatly. Thank you … I say as I reach for my insulin. 😀😂😃😋
Jill I enjoy your insight into politics, I love your rants and snark on daily political stuff. But I have to admit the two posts you make that I look forward most are the Jolly Monday ones and the good people ones. Sometimes when I am feeling very low and need a grand uplifting boost, there you are with these wonderful posts. All I can add is a heartfelt “Thank You”. Hugs. Scottie

Oh, and I forgot to ask. Do otters and octopus get along? Because when I come back as a fun-loving otter, I would love to have a friend with many arms able to open jars and other things. Hugs. Scottie

Hmmmm … now you’d have to ask a zoologist or a marine biologist about that, for I have no idea! I suppose if you went about introducing them just right, they might become lifetime friends! Otherwise, the otter would likely eat the octopus … but I don’t see you eating anyone, so you’d probably get along just fine! Hugs

Ha ha … yes, Scottie, as a fellow Type I diabetic, I fully understand. We sneak just a few bites here and there, then take an extra unit of insulin next time … but don’t tell anyone! 😉
I’m so glad that my Jolly Monday and Good People Wednesday posts bring you a boost when you need it, Scottie! The socio-political scene is my forte, but I found long ago that we need balance in our lives, need to sometimes come up out of the rabbit hole and enjoy a bit of sunlight. You are most welcome, my friend, and thank YOU for all your kindness and support! Hugs

Heh heh … most of them come from Phil’s Phun page, a few from the daily comic strips that hit my inbox every night, and some from just odds ‘n ends sources! I usually have around 200 of them in my reserve stash for future Jolly Monday posts and I add to the stash every week! Glad you found so much to bring a smile, and I’m really glad you enjoyed the octopus! Who knew that we could bond with an octopus living deep in the sea?

Judging by the fancy-ness of the restaurant and the gentrified customers I’m guessing that was the waiter’s last day in that particular job and he wanted it to be memorable.
Earl would make a great Batman no villain can stand against a retired geezer’s cynicism.
