Jason Free Laus Deo Volume 12 Issue 7 FAMILY COUNSELING After 35 years of marriage, a my cousin Wanda Sue and her husband Harold decided they needed family counseling. Not wanting every one in Booger Hollow to know their business they decided to drive to Atlanta. When asked what the problem was, Wanda Sue went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured. Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the Wanda Sue to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as Harold watched - with a raised eyebrow. Wanda Sue shut up and quietly sat down in a daze. The therapist turned to Harold and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?" "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays,...But I fish on Fridays. NEW WEB SITE We are very excited about our new web site.

My nephew Brad was hoping to get a promotion in the near future. Ivanette Free Linda & Brad s 5 year old daughter Emma was seated directly across the table from Brad s boss. All through the meal Emma starred at Brad s boss and it made him very uncomfortable. He checked his tie, ran his hand across his chin to make sure he didn t have any food on his face, ran his tongue across his teeth to make sure he didn t have food lodged between his teeth. Finally the boss said Emma I noticed you have been starring at me all during the meal and I was wondering why. All the guest had noticed Emma s behavior and were waiting on her answer. Emma said I just wanted to see how you do it Do what? Well daddy said you drink like a fish and I just wanted to see how. Brad is still waiting on the promotion.
