Making somebody happy!

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY

I'm tired. I need to go to bed, It's 9:32 pm C.S.T. and I should just say, "Danny, forget about that stupid blog! There are only a few people who care about it anyway, and they would understand!"

I know, I know, but what if there is just one person out there who is feeling depressed, had a bad day, or is lonely, and I make that one person laugh, or make this person feel cared about. That's good, isn't it?

Sure, but I wish they'd let me know I made them feel better! Then I would feel that what I'm doing is worth the effort!

Don't you remember what Rush Limbaugh said on his radio program today, Danny?

Vaguely.

He said, "Do you know why radio talk show people are crazy?" 

"It's because to really be good you have to believe that millions of people are listening to you, and hanging on every word you say!"

"However, when you leave the station, and walk down the street, nobody knows who you are!"

I am so thankful for Cheryl Merritt! (Who I call Yellow Rose, because she is from Texas.)

She always let's me know when she is touched by something I've said, thinks something is funny, or likes a song I've written... and just knowing I'm reaching a sweet, pure in heart person, keeps me going!

However, I need to believe I'm reaching millions of folks, making them laugh, bringing back fond memories to their hearts, making them tap their toes to my music...just like Rush did when he started out in radio!

Okay...okay! I need to start having a better attitude, and imagine that millions of eyes are reading my blog every day, and can't wait for it to magically appear on their computer screen!

Hey, gang! A big shout out to all of you reading my popular blog in Texas, Missouri, Greece, California, Norway, China, and the rest of the whole wide worm!

I want to apologize for not being able to respond to all of the thousands of comments you've sent in, but I try to read as many as possible, and answer your questions as tom permits!

Who does Tom think he is, anyway! I don't need permission from him!

Our sponsors today are Midas Gold Sellers, who always say, "Buy gold today, so when the dollar crashes, you will have gold that your neighbors will kill you for!"

And Survival Food Enterprises, who tell you, "Stock up lots of survival food for the coming great famine, that your neighbors will come over and kill you for!"

Here's a letter from Mildred in Kewanee, Illinois!

Dear Danny,
I just love your blog, and something very special happened to me yesterday in relation to your wonderful blog!

When I got out of bed yesterday morning, I noticed my cat was dead!

I was so upset, because Booters has been with me for 10 years!

So, I laid him in front of the computer monitor, before taking him out to bury him next to Scooters and Hooters, because I wanted to catch your blog before I deep sixed my beloved Booters!

Then the miracle happened!

As soon as I clicked on your blog, Booters began to make some faint noises! I could not believe it, 'cause he was stone cold dead a few minutes earlier!

The noises turned into coughing, then all of a sudden Booters coughed up a hair ball the size of a big matzo ball, and now he's fine, thanks to your marvelous blog!

Well, thank you, Mildred from Kewanee, Illinois!

To be honest, Mildred, that kind of thing happens all the time!

We got an email last week from a dude in Punjabby, Pakistan, who had a serious constipation problem...and...
uh...my producer just suggested I don't go there.

WOW! I can't believe we've run out of tom already! (I'd actually like to run over Tom with my truck!)

So, to all of you hundreds of millions of readers of "My Life Is Only For Laughs," I bid ado!

            A do!
