get the joke your comments: Last month's joke was an ad for the Plant Whisperers. They offered to help with gardening problems by whispering sweet, positive thoughts to your flowers and listening to their concerns. It would be great if the key to a beautiful garden was just being nice and loving to it. Guess that only works with people. As always, keep the great photos coming! Summer is turning to lovely fall. Don't forget photo assignment on page 61. Send any photos of Sun Lakes to sunlakesnews@yahoo.com. Congratulations to this month's Dinner Winner: I tried talking to them-maybe I used too much profanity. Earl Davis (Congratulations on winning!) Do I have garden issues!? HA! Does the pope wear a funny hat? Not even divine intervention can help my garden grow in SL soil! Monica S. (It's not funny haha, more funny, "What is he smuggling in that thing?") That's what I'm doing wrong! I talk to myself - not to my yard. Gotta give it a try. Rea J. (Let me know what happens!) I was told it was beneficial to sing to house plants, but "whispering," "talking," and listening" to trees and plants outside? I think my children would have me committed! Beverly B. (It depends on your singing voice. I would kill everything.) Can you whisper to my "black" thumb, too? I'd love to have a "green" one! Linda V. (pssst. Hey you, black thumb… knock it off!) My husband asks, "Can the plant whisperer (female only) come and whisper in my ear?" Alyene N. (After you smacked him upside the head, you said…?) Please keep it down at night. My sunflowers haven't been getting any sleep. Ralph M. (Don't blame me - I heard your sunflowers boosted a car and took it on a joy ride until 3 am. Just saying.) Earl Davis Please see Debbie Sorrows for your Sun Lakes Restaurant dinner for two. Somewhere in this issue of "Lifestyles Magazine" is an ad, an article, or something else that is completely made up, somewhat amusing, mildly offensive or just plain hilarious, depending on your sense of humor. When you find it, fill out the box below and turn it into the Main Clubhouse reception desk before noon on the sixth of the month. If you are the first correct guess chosen at random, you will win a free dinner! Remember, the production of Lifestyles is due entirely to the generous support of our advertisers. Please thank them by visiting their place of business or calling them first whenever you need their service or product. After last month, I'm almost afraid to say this ad is the joke. Gerald I. (It is!) The h*#! with the plants! Can they work on my husband? Harriet B. (Sister, I hear you.) Can you whisper to the dogs so they'll do their business elsewhere? Alvin and Janice E. (Yes! The Dog Whisperer can!) My plants need "Plant Screamers," they all seem to be deaf! Lois M. (That's why they fit in Sun Lakes so well.) I think you're pulling my leg! But if not, I need you! Carol Q. (Consider your leg pulled.) My plants really need a talking to. Homer C. (Put them on time out.) You've got to be kidding… right?! Sandra B. (Right!) Can they talk to the weeds and tell them to drop dead? (I don't know where you get all your ideas, I look forward to finding them each month!) Helen M. (Thank you!) I really need this! My plants won't listen to me at all! Help at last! Jeanne M. (Just like kids) Mega awkward for most. Marylou L. (Think of it as flirting with your shrubs.) Plants breath the same air we do so they probably need some TLC also. Jeanette J. (That's what I was thinking!) I enjoy the Lifestyles Magazine. Wade S. (You are my favorite person today.) I got the joke!
