Jiming of La Canada: What a good laughter especially among my husband and I who have an engineering background! I also sent these to our IT folks at work and they love it too!

Ed of Burbank: I thought your opening and closing illustrations of the first joke were among your very best ... very visual, descriptive and quite funny! thanks!!

Mary of Washington, D.C.: Life is facing a whole lot of stress whether we like it or not, you are doing a lot of people a lot of good whether you know it or not, please do not deprive me by dropping me off your list. . . my "life" depends on it.
Thank you Raoul.

Debbie of Temple City: Thank you again for the great TGIF's! It is a great way to start the weekend.

Ernie of Sacramento: I always enjoy TGIF and send it on to other folks. It's great stress relief.

Doug of Pasadena: Beautiful! My thanks to you!!! You've made my week! Maybe my month!!! That's great!!!

Stacy of Glendale: That was so funny I was laughing so hard you should a seen Frances and Kavita looking at me!

Mel of Washington D.C. who was travelling in Paris: That was one of the best jokes there is .... Laughed so hard here at the Business Center at the George V, Paris ... that everyone seemed to be looking at me [as if to say] --- "who the hell are you?'"Just adore the "Getting Divorced Joke."

Shag of New York: You know what's really cool? I love opening my mail and seeing " A TGIF THANKS" [thanking me for the winning joke entry]. It makes me feel like I was in this really awesome competition and won. I love winning!!!!! --- even if it's just that I ate more chocolates than my daughter! But winning a mention in TGIF feels just as good and less caloric ... and we all know at my age that's a GOOD thing.

Laura of Pasadena: I laughed out loud at the practical joke with the turkey! And it's even better because it really happened. Reminded me of the time my brother-in-law passed me the gravy -- with a slotted spoon in it! It took about a minute for everyone to stop laughing at the look on my face when I couldn't make the spoon "work".

Sunoko of Virginia: ... very thoughtful blog. I have been blessed with your TGIF jokes, and your effort to have it sent every Friday. Even on this holiday, you still made an extra effort to send it on time. Thank you for your generous work.

Gordon of Arcadia: I laughed really hard at all the jokes (and the drawings!!). But, I admit to feeling guilty laughing at the "I Got Your Mama" joke. By the time I had enjoyed "I Used to Like Michael" joke, I felt relieved because because now I KNOW I'm not the only "ID 10 T" in the world. (Thank you for raising my self-image while giving me the best laughs I'd had in a long time.)

Pegi of the East Coast: Love the TGIF friday email ... we all look forward to it and feel slighted when it's not around by noonish- we are grateful for your contribution to our much happier Friday!

Manny of Michigan: I enjoy your TGIF so keep them coming. One of these days, I will send you an entry.

Karim of Seattle: Hi Raoul, I think I we missed your Friday bulletins for a few weeks, so I panicked. But thank God a fresh supply arrived today! My wife and I both eagerly look forward every Friday for your now *gorgeously* colored pictures --- they tell quite a tale too! Hope you're doing "A-OK" and in the process of of being bought over by some major cartoon syndicate!

Tina of New York: It is a gloomy Friday over here in the East but the "Actual Conversations with Tech Support" lightened the day for us. Thanks. I am forwarding this issue of your TGIF to the rest of the family.

Charlie of Manila: Thank you very much. It always makes me smile whenever I get your email.You're really talented!
