Senior Citizens

Hi ah,....

Hummm let me think ,...why did I post this......don't tell me it's coming to me.....
Oh ya.....

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:

The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement, or,
God out of government and school.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.

Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner? or O Canada


Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention, on veterans day and our great country's birthday .


YES, I'M ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps... with a hammer.
I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm very good at telling stories; over and over and over and over...
I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for --- long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.



I'm not really grouchy,

I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Jenny Craig and Toyota commercials, barking dogs, politicians and a few other things I can't seem to remember right now.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm having trouble remembering simple words like.......
I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become policemen?
I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?
And, how can my kids be older than I feel sometimes?

I'm a walking storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.


Yes, I'm almost a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!

One Per Point

We are out there this weekend celebrating and remembering our troops, family, friends and lets not forget the recent students who graduated. This one goes out to them for the hard work they have done over the years and now that they have graduated the Real work will begin soon. I hope you enjoy this one.

One day a professor was giving a big test to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over, the students all handed the tests back in.

The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying "A dollar per point."

The next day the class was back, the professor handed the tests back out.

This student got back his test and $64 change.

The Marine

In lieu of all the things that have happened in this world ,when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the disciples or even my fifty-second birthday I wanted to focus on Memorial Day. This is a tribute to all the soldiers here and in other countries. I will admit I am partial to Marines since my son was a Marine. I hope we can all remember a day when we can thank God and all the soldiers that have given us our freedom.

This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad.

For those who take the time to read it, you'll see a letter
from him to his Dad at the bottom. It makes you truly
thankful for not only the Marines, but also ALL of our troops.


THE MARINE


We all came together,
Both young and old
to fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.


In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
and we protect our country
from all terror around.




Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way





I give you the right
to talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.




But still I fight on,
I don't bitch, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people
Who is doing your time.



I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier;
I'm an U.S. MARINE!


So stand in my shoes,
and leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.


Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won.



Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.

But when your time comes,
do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done.

By: Corporal Aaron M. Gilbert, US Marine Corps
USS SA
Hey Dad,

Do me a favor and label this "The Marine" and tell everyone.
I want this story rolling all over the US; I want every home reading it, every eye seeing it, and every heart to feel it. So can you please spread the word for me? You know what Dad? I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in his inaugural speech.

"When the time to lay down my life for my country,
I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it."

Well, now I know and I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity to
do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife,
And I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70
Times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home.
I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish I could be there
When Sandi has our baby, tell her that I love her, and Lord
willing, I will be coming home soon. Give mom a great big hug
from me and give one to yourself too.
Aaron

Please let this marine (and all our military) know we care.
FREEDOM isn't FREE
Someone pays for you and me.

Memorial Weekend

With the holiday weekend upon us, Memorial Day for what the troops have done for us to insure our freedom. I reflect on the simple things this weekend since my birthday is this Sunday. If you are out celebrating this weekend and after all the celebrating you find that you have some cleaning to do check the list to see if something on the list might help. First you need to check out my new BBQ that I got also and am going to be using it to do some cooking first. :)




FREE BBQ Grills.... check out the list of stores......
As every southerner knows it's time to get ready for that all
important cooking technique of the south---outdoor Grilling!
I have found several stores (not just in the south) where you can
get a FREE Bar-B-Q Grill!
You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the
following stores:
A&P
Albertsons
Costco
Dan's
Food Lion
Fry's
Kroger
Macy's
Big Lots
Brookshire's
Lowes
Publix
Safeway
Sam's Club
Target
Vons
Wagner Hardware
Wal-Mart
Winn-Dixie
I especially like the higher rack.....which can be used for keeping
things warm!

If you have this and duct tape, the world is yours.



WD-40
I thought that you might like to know more about this well-known WD-40 product.
When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stovetop... Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "Water D isplacement" compound.
They were successful with the Fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their Atlas missile parts.
The workers were so pleased with the product they began smuggling (also known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home.
The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and put it in aerosol cans. The rest is history. It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. One of them is the "brew master." There are about 2.5 million gallons of the stuff manufactured each year. It gets its distinctive smell from a fragrance that is added to the brew. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
Here are a few of the 1000s of uses:

Protects silver from tarnishing
Cleans and lubricates guitar strings
Gets oil spots off concrete driveways
Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery
Keeps flies off cows
Restores and cleans chalkboards
Removes lipstick stains
Loosens stubborn zippers
Untangles jewelry chains
Removes stains from stainless steel sinks
Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill
Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing
Removes tomato stains from clothing
Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots
Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors
Keeps scissors working smoothly
Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide
Lubricates gear shift and mower - deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers
Rids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises
Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open
Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close
Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards and vinyl bumpers
Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles
Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans
Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons and bicycles for easy handling
Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly
Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools
Removes splattered grease on stove
Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging
Lubricates prosthetic limbs
Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell)
Removes all traces of duct tape
I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
Florida's favorite use was "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers
The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. It's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
Keeps away chiggers on the kids
Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately, and stops the itch.
WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
Also, if you've discovered that you have washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. (If I knew what a distributor cap was, it might help)
WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape smunges (sticky label tape), is also a lovely perfume and air freshener! Sprayed liberally on every hinge in the house, it leaves that distinctive clean fresh scent for up to two days!
Seriously though, it removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!

"Sorry"

Do you ever wish you could take things back that you might of said to someone? I believe we all have moments in our lives that we regret saying or doing and wanting to say I am sorry. Well I wanted you to meet "Sorry". I hope we can now say that we know sorry and now we can move on with our lives. :) I hope you like Sorry and he makes you have at least have a small smile. :)))

Relaxed, Recharged and ready to Go

Today I dedicate this post to my daughter since Charlise, my granddaughter, and I went to the hill country to relax and recharge. We had so much fun just sitting out on my parents swing and watching Rollie Polie bugs crawl around and curl up in a little ball while we touch them was one of our many activities. Can you tell we didn't do much of anything and it was great. I am also adding a few other photos of my parents and Charlise playing with one of the cats. :) My daughter is a big cat lover and I thought I would post a funny cat picture along with a few photos of Charlise sitting on my dad's tractor mower attachment drinking a juice bag, and a few deer, with our little impromptu picnic of chips, cheese sandwich, and a drink while watching the deer come to the field. I hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed our weekend.

Snuffles was finally going to put an end to
the arrogance of those fish in the aquarium.

National Mental Health Day

Now don't get yourself in an uproar about my title. It is to be taken with a grain of salt and with tongue in cheek. There are some days where you say to yourself " Is it me or is everyone a little crazy today." Maybe it is the planned trip with my granddaughter to the hill country this weekend and I am getting a little antsy. My granddaughter just loves going to see her great grandparents and that is what we are looking forward to. Along with going swimming in a small creek that runs on my parents property and riding the 4 wheeler among other things. So today might be my last post until next week and I thought I would put out there this little quiz. I was just thinking if May is Mental Health Awareness Month what does it mean when your birthday is in the same month. It must mean I am unique, special, one of a kind and all those other wonderful things you can think of. :)))) I hope you enjoy it and it puts a smile on your face like it did mine. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers.

1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

Well, my job's done!...........

LIFE IS A JOURNEY. ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND ENJOY THE BREEZE

THATS ALL FOLKS!!!!!

Children's Perception!

Wouldn't it be great to be young again? The innocence of small children just brings a warm feeling and wonderful smile to my face. Kind of like this photo of my granddaughter trying to dress herself. She was so cute trying on her clothes and then ending up with the cutest mismatched clothes on. Oh to be young again...........

1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer
evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up
and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the
shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom!
That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!"

2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a
note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed
by this child are not necessarily those of his parents."

3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar.
During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her
4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "Mommy can't
come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."

4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the
women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room
burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running
for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked,
"What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"

5) POLICE # 1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school,
I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and
down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?" Yes," I answered
and continued writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed
help I should ask the police. Is that right? "Yes, that's right," I told her.
"Well, then, "she said as she extended her foot toward me,
"would you please tie my shoe?"

6) POLICE # 2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of
the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake,
was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me "Is that a dog
you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled,
the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van.
Finally he said," What'd he do?"

7) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to
elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on
my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the
various appliances of old age, particularly the canes,
walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a
pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself
for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned
and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

8) DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party.
When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned,
"Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?"
"You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning"

9) DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our
minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his
collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates
had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be
performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting,
then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.
The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers
and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought
his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto
the Sonnn, and into the hole he gooooes."

10) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school.
"I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother .
"I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"

11) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was
fascinated as he fingered through the old pages.
Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.
He picked-up the object, it was an old leaf that
had been pressed in between the pages "Mama,
look what I found," the boy called out. "What have
you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young
boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear.

Happy IVGLDSW Day!

This one is for all the females in the world. There is always some man that believes his "IVGLDSW" is out there. :)

Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman's Day!
So please let someone you think that fits this description know. No need to let me know as I have already been told from a Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman already! And remember this motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Have a wonderful day !

Bran Muffins

Sometimes I think to myself when I read this that the husband is a mild and calmer version of my dad.

The couple was 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched their pennies.

Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.

One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.
They reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favorite clothes in the closet.

They gasped in astonishment when he said, "Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now."

The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. "Why, nothing," Peter replied, "remember, this is your reward in Heaven."

The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever-built on Earth.

"What are the greens fees?", grumbled the old man.

"This is heaven," St. Peter replied. "You can play for free, every day."


Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages.

"Don't even ask," said St. Peter to the man "This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy."

The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.

"Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?" he asked.

"That's the best part," St. Peter replied. "You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like, and you will never get fat or sick.

This is Heaven!"

The old man pushed, "No gym to work out at?"

"Not unless you want to," was the answer.

"No testing my sugar or blood pressure or..."

"Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself."


The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and your bran muffins. We could have been here ten years ago!

How to pull off a Sunday afternoon "quickie"!

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon "quickie" with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation: "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he shouted. "An ambulance just drove by!"

"Looks like the Andersons have company, he called out.

"Matt's riding a new bike!"

"Looks like the Sanders are moving!"

"Jason is on his skate board...."

After a few moments he announced, "The Coopers are having sex!!"

Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, How do you know they are having sex?"

" Billy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle."

The Best Living Will I've Seen

Now this is my kind of will. :) I hope you enjoy my will.

I, ________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers / doctors interested in simply running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

Glass of wine
chocolate
Margarita
chocolate
Martini
chocolate
Mexican food
chocolate
French fries
chocolate
Pizza
chocolate
ice cream
chocolate
Chocolate
Sex
Chocolate

It should be presumed that I wouldn’t ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.

Difference between men and women!!

I just cannot help myself but sometimes I just love the little jokes that point out the difference between men and women. Maybe it is a single thing and since I have been single for so long it has turned into me being snarly at times. :)) This is an updated version on the venus and mars thing. I hope you enjoy this one.

1. NAMES

If Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara go out for lunch, they will call
each other Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara.
If Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom go out, they will affectionately refer to
each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

2. EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom will each throw in a
$20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything
smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

3. MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need, but it's on
sale.

4. BATHROOMS

A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream,
razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Marriott.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A
man would not be able to identify most of these items.

5. ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that ... is the beginning of a new argument.

6. CATS

Women love cats.
Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

7. FUTURE

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

8. SUCCESS

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

9. MARRIAGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

10. DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the
garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

11. NATURAL

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

12. OFFSPRING

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about
dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret
fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

13. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two
people remembering the same thing.

AND FINALLY...

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to
concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, jack asses, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically,
"Relatives of yours?"
"Yep,” the wife replied, "in-laws.

How Great Is Texas?

IMO I think Texas is one of the best states in the USA. Don't get me wrong I love many states in the USA. I have visited many, maybe not as many as other people, but I always look forward to coming back to Texas after my visits. They say we do things in Texas in a BIG way and this little email that I got just tells you how big we do things in Texas. I hope you enjoy some of the cities in Texas and it brings a smile while you travel in your mind to all the cities. I wanted to add one for thing about the reason I love Texas and that is my little friend that I found in my fig tree in my backyard the other day. He is so cute, tell me the last time you had something that cute in your backyard. :)
