TheRealClubhouse Facebook Page

Hello friends, daily readers, and visitors to TheRealClubhouse.

Our Facebook page is something that made the trek with us to the new location. I began posting to Facebook as the Sheriff in 2010. Hundreds of posts were posted, reminding and suggesting that people visit and check into our website. We expanded our market through the city of Racine and beyond by linking to local merchants, news websites, and places of business. Some of our regulars over the years found us through Facebook.

We are still represented though our Facebook page with our new identity and logo. 

https://www.facebook.com/Therealclubhouse-164681946904571/ 

I just finished updating our links to reflect our new web address on all posts dating back to the first FB post. Whew! There were a lot of posts! Some still contain an embedded reference to our former site, and blogs which are no longer active... which is okay. We will always have a little Irregular inside all of us, in some fashion or another.


Facebook is a very easy way to connect with your personal Facebook friends to let them know you participate in our webpage, and to welcome and encourage them to join in the fun! It is also a good way to get in touch with friends who used to visit our site, but have left, or forgotten about the fun and support that we offer on a daily basis.

When you see a post related to our site, please click the "Like" button. Also, please click "Share" to put the post on your Facebook timeline for your friends to see.

It is wonderful to see so many of you joining in the daily fun again. It would be equally nice if you can recommend us to some of your long time friends who would also enjoy our unique style of humor and good friendship.

I want to personally THANK those who have been brave and have authored their own blogs here. It isn't hard, just takes some fiddling around the first few times to get it. If you make a mistake, I can fix it, or can delete it. You can also click the "pencil" tool to re-edit once you've published. Not to worry! It brings such a smile to my face to see something new and unexpected on the page.

Here's to the next 8 years! Gather your friends and share the fun!

Weekend Funny

An elderly woman in her nineties had a visitor from her church come to see her at the nursing home. "How are you?" the visitor asked. "Oh," said the sweet woman, "I'm just worried sick!"

Well, you look like you're in good health. They take good care of you here, don't they?" "Oh yes, they take good care of me here." "Do you have any pain?" "No, I can't say I do," the elderly woman replied.

"Then what has you worried sick?" the visitor asked. The elderly woman leaned in close, "All of my closest friends have already died and gone to heaven. I'm sure they are all taking about where I went!"

The Story Continues.... Chapter 2

I think we may have found our niche. We've always wanted to purchase that retirement island, but never knew how to gather enough cash. I've been enjoying this feature; I hope you have, too. Looky what we made! Trashy novels, who would have thought this would be our forte? (lmao) 

Remember the rules: 7 words, no more, no less.... you must wait for someone else to write before you can write again.

Anna woke with a gasp. Her hair was pasted to her cheek with drool. She bolted from the bed to check what the sound was outside her window. She saw a giftwrapped package, sitting on her porch. Who in the world had known that someone was here?  The cabin was at the end of a long and winding road. Only someone who knew his or her way could navigate the dark path. I think it was an angel, SER?

She warily approached the package and peeked. Something was making noise inside. Did she hear a song, or was it a soft breeze soughing through the rustling pines? The box moved! The top popped open! It was Mr. Potato Head, of course! How could she have forgotten?  But wait, he was missing something vital! Two ears, two eyes, lips…. Oh no!  The nose!! Is this a cryptic message?

The nose always knows... She picked up the package with the nose-less spud. Opening up the back, she found a variety of parts, including several noses. An enclosed message read, “Schnozberry, Rhinoplasty Specialist.” Oh, my! That had been her former plastic surgeon/lover. How did he find the nerve to contact her, considering what had transpired between them? Just a few indiscreet moments… and now, he wants to reconnect?

I’ll show him, she thought! Choosing the ugliest nose of all, she stuffed an envelope, inserting nose and  …………

Ain't ain't a word, or is it?

My journey with the cochlear implant

I had terrific news today.  After six months, my hearing has improved ten percent beyond where people progress after a full year!  I went from 60% hearing to 82%.  Doctor kept saying "awesome," "amazing."

Science is moving quickly now that implants have been approved for coverage by Medicare and Insurance.  Funds for research were not available in the past, but now that they are, things will move forward at an astounding rate.

To say I'm happy is an understatement.

Happy Birthday - All of Us!

Can't let the day go by without wishing us a 

Happy Birthday!  

Eight years ago, we formed as a group of bloggers who were brave enough to set out on our own. We've met a few bumps in the road, made some adjustments, and found a new home. I am proud to say that we've forged friendships that will last a lifetime.  

Here's to us..... a tiny cake for a major accomplishment! 

(It's summer, didn't want to ruin your swimsuit diet!)

I'll take the piece with the rose on it! ;>

Open Blog - Wednesday

Yea, we made it!  :)

Short shorts get dancer barred from Jetblue flight

Certainly not something I'd choose, but everything is covered? You see a lot of underwear, too much underwear with men sagging their pants. You also see very short (and tight) skirts, bare midriffs with piercings, and a lot of cleavage. Was it a reasonable call? What do you think?

Open Blog - Tuesday

Same expectations, less time to complete.  We can do it!

Open Blog - Monday, Memorial Day

All who served, and especially those who did not return.
