Stud Fees

Farmer Dan got into his car, drove to the neighbouring farm and knocked at the door. A young boy, Eddie, aged about 10, opened the door.

‘Is yer Dad home?’ Dan demanded.

‘No, sir, he ain’t,’ Eddie replied. ‘He went into town.’

‘Well, then,’ inquired Dan, ‘is yer Mum here?’

‘No, sir, she ain’t here neither. She went into town…

🌈 Jolly Pride Monday! 🌈

Good morning, friends!  How was your weekend?  It was so hot here that I happily stayed in all weekend .. the temps were in the 90-degree range (F) with humidity of around 85% … not conducive to being able to breathe!   In honour of the first Monday in Pride Month, Joyful has cooked up some very colourful goodies for us this morning, so let’s go see what’s on the buffet table, and then Jolly has some things to help us start the week with a smile …


I always think it’s fun to start with a few cute critter pictures, don’t you?


Jolly has been collecting some more of those funny signs you see now and then …


And now for our weekly selection of ‘toons!!!


And just a few funny memes we happened across …


And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for … the funny animal video!  I hope you like this one … it really made me laugh!


Well, friends … yep, it’s about that time again … time to pick up the briefcases, don the hard hats and head out to earn a living.  Unless you’re lucky, like me, and already put in your 50 years or so and lived to tell about it!  We’re glad you were able to join us this morning and we hope you have a safe and happy week ahead!  And remember to share those smiles this week … there will be a basketful of smiles by the door in case you want to grab a few extras just in case!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly and Joyful!!!

I’m sowwy, everyone … I was helping Jolly wif da ‘toons and by the time we finished, I dinna feel like cooking, so we went out and bought some coffee ‘n donuts … I hope dat’s okay?

Jolly Monday Served With Laughs

Good (?) Monday morn, dear friends, and WELCOME!  It’s always so good to see you on Monday morning … it somehow helps start the week out right, y’know?  I’m in just a bit of a funk this morning, so hopefully spending time with you guys and finding a bit of humour here and there will help.  But first, let’s go see what Joyful has cooked up for us today … I know I smell bacon!!!

I weally hope you guys enjoy what I made for you!!!


Wow, Joyful … that is a LOT of bacon!!!  Larry, Emily, David and the others should be able to get their fill of bacon today!  And now, let’s start with some phunny puns, compliments of Punny Phil!


And how ‘bout a few music memes ‘n puns?


Okay … onto the cartoons, then!


And just a handful of fun memes

Well, my friends, it seems our time together is always too short, but we have enjoyed it immensely and I love the beautiful smiles I see on your faces!  Please remember to share those smiles as you go about your week, for there are an awful lot of people out there who really, really need one!  Keep safe and have a wonderful week ahead!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!

Jolly Early Monday Morning {yawn}

{yawn}  Happy Monday, dear friends {yawn} and welcome one and all.  Why does Monday morning always come earlier than other mornings do?   {yawn}  In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m still sleepy and haven’t even gotten dressed yet.  I tried to tell Jolly to carry on without me, as I pulled the blanket back over my head, but I knew that was doomed when he started jumping on the bed and singing!  For Pete’s sake, who sings at this hour of the morning, and on a Monday at that?   Anyway, Joyful has been hard at work in the kitchen, so let’s go see what she’s cooked up for us, then we’ll go in search of some humour and fun.



We have some fun animal memes for you this morning!


And a few funny/puzzling signs …


And we know you’re all looking forward to da ‘toons …


And just a few memes we’ve been collecting …


And naturally, Jolly went in search of a cute or funny animal video and I loved what he came up with!  I think you’ll fall in love with this li’l tiger …


Well, friends … it was really fun sharing our Monday morning with you … I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather start the week with!  We hope you have a safe, happy and productive week ahead, and please do remember to share your smiles with others who may not have one of their own.  Smiles and hugs are so contagious … in a good way, of course!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

Jolly 1st Of May Monday!!!

Good Monday morn, my friends!  It’s hard to believe it’s already May!  Where did the first four months of the year go?  It was just Christmas a couple of weeks ago, wasn’t it?  I hope your weekend was everything you hoped it would be and more!  That said, isn’t it great to get back to work, back into the routine and not have to be bothered trying to figure out what to do next?  Yes, I’ve lost my bloody mind!  Anyway, a simple fare on the table today, but never fear … there’s plenty of bacon for those bacon-lovers among you!  Let’s go grab a bite and then find a way to make this Monday morning special!


Every so often we come across some sock humour, and this is one such ‘so often’ …


And, we’ve been collecting an array of funny signs over the past couple of weeks …


Just a few music puns …


And now, for the main course, the ‘TOONS!


And a few memes to round out the humour …


That only leaves one more thing … a cute or funny animal video!  I sent Jolly on a mission to find one yesterday, so let’s see what he came up with …


Well, friends, sadly the time has come for us all to get on with the business of the day.  Jolly, Joyful and I have really enjoyed your visit today, and we hope you’re leaving with a smile on your face!  Be sure to grab a few extra smiles on your way out so that you’ll have plenty to share this week!  Keep safe and have a happy week ahead!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly & Joyful!

Jolly ‘N Joyful Green Monday!!!

Good Monday morning, friends!  You’re all up bright and early and looking mighty perky this morning … must be that you’ve made up for the hour you lost a week ago, eh?  Well, we’re glad you’re here.  Did you have a good weekend?  It was bitterly cold here, so I stayed in while the girls went shopping to try to find Goose a new pair of shoes, and buy new pillows for their beds.  Then we had Chinese take-out on Saturday night, so overall it wasn’t a bad weekend.  And now, time to grit the teeth and get ready to face another week!  I think it’s supposed to be a bit warmer here this week, so maybe I’ll get out for a bit one day.  Joyful has been in the kitchen all morning preparing some treats for Jolly Monday, so let’s go see what’s on the table, shall we?   Oh … it looks like we’re just a few days late for St. Patrick’s Day!


Jolly wants to start with some cool pictures he found over at Phil’s Phun …


And we’ve got a few fun animal memes and puns for you …


Okay, okay … I hear you chanting “Cartoons, Cartoons, Cartoons” … so here you go!


Along with a few memes …


And we simply must have a cute critter video, yes?


Well, my friends, it seems our time is always too short!  But, we’ll be together again next Monday, so it gives us something to look forward to.  Keep safe this week, and be sure to share those gorgeous smiles!  Love and many hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!

Jolly ‘n Joyful Monday Again!

Good Monday morning, dear friends!  Did you all have a wonderful weekend?  I had a peaceful one, which is all I ask these days.  Chris and her band marched downtown in the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, so she was pretty tired after marching a couple of miles while carrying and playing a big bass drum!  Goose and I did mostly nothing.  But Jolly and Joyful had quite an adventure this weekend!  I’ll let them tell you about it …

We went ‘cwoss da pond to spend da weekend wif Uncle Woger and Aunt Sheila and help Uncle Woger do some yard work!  He calls it work, but I thought it was gweat fun!  We got to stomp ’round in da slush left by da snow, and dere was spiders an’ everything!  An’ we gots lots of good stuff to eat and yummy hot chocolate!

An’ while Jolly was stomping ‘round in the muck and slush outside, I helped Aunt Sheila in da house and we cooked and laughed and had da best time ever!  We love Uncle Woger and Aunt Sheila!  An’ guess what I learned?  On da other side of da pond, cookies is called ‘biscuits’!

Well, I hope you two are ready to work on Jolly Monday now … Joyful, don’t forget you promised the gang lots of bacon this week!  Let’s go see what’s on the buffet table this morning and then find some fun things to start this week out with a smile and a chuckle!


Let’s start the day with some interesting and funny signs …


And a few fun facts I’ve been collecting from over at Phil’s Phun …


Okay … okay … I hear you clamouring for the ‘toons!


And how ‘bout a few memes, too?


Well, folks, I think that leaves only one more thing … and that’s the cute critter video that Jolly scouted out for us this week!  I think you’ll really enjoy this adorable tiger cub …


We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit this morning and that those smiles I see on your faces will last you throughout the week!  Be sure to pick up a couple of spares from the basket by the door on your way out so you have some to share this week.  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

I hope you guys are in the mood for some … PIZZA this morning, ’cause that’s what I’ve been workin’ on all morning long!  Gwammie likes hers with pineapple … do you?


Our friend Larry has been AWOL for a year or so, thanks to WordPress glitches, but he’s baaaaccckkk now, and so in honour of perhaps our biggest bacon lover, we found a few new bacon memes!


Who’s in the mood for some funny puns?
