      WITICISMS:

      I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.


      Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.


      You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.


      I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.


      I decided to stop calling the bathroom the “John” and renamed it the “Jim”. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.


      Old age is coming at a really bad time. When I was a child I thought “Nap Time” was a punishment. Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small vacation.


      The biggest lie I tell myself is…"I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."


      I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just very wise.


      Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.


      If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.


      Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.


      Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?


      Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice.


      At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.


      I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later.

      I don’t have to go to school or work.
      I get an allowance every month.
      I have my own pad.
      I don’t have a curfew.
      I have a driver’s license and my own car.
      I have ID that gets me into bars and the whisky store.
      The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant.
      And I don’t have acne.

        WHAT GUN FREE ZONE?

        A guy walked into a crowded bar, waving his unholstered pistol and yelled, "I have a 45 calibre Colt 1911 with a seven round magazine plus one in the chamber and I want to know who's been sleeping with my wife."

        A voice from the back of the room called out, "You need more ammo!”

              'Someone asked the other day, What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?'

              'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,

              I informed him.

              'All the food was slow.'

              'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?'

              'It was a place called "at Home,'' I explained!

              'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.'

              By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table.

              But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it :

              Some parents NEVER owned their own house, never wore Levis, never set foot on a golf course, never traveled out of the country or had a credit card.

              In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card. The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears & Roebuck. Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died.

              My parents never drove me to soccer practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer.

              I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow) We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11.

              It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a.m. And there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people.

              I was 19 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.' When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had.

              I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.

              Pizzas were not delivered to our home. But milk was.

              All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers--my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which he got to keep 2 cents. He had to get up at 6 AM every morning.

              On Saturday, he had to collect the 42 cents from his customers. His favorite customers were the ones who gave him 50 cents and told him to keep the change. His least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day.

              Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.

              If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren

              Just don't blame me if they bust a gut laughing.

              Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

              MEMORIES from a friend :

              My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.

              How many do you remember?

              Head lights dimmer switches on the floor.

              Ignition switches on the dashboard.

              Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall.

              Real ice boxes.

              Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.

              Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.

              Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

              If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
              If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
              If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age,
              If you remembered 16-25 = You' re older than dirt!

              I might be older than dirt but those
              memories are some of the best parts of my life.

              I remembered all of them - mimo

                  Yessssss! Our party line telephone number was "55535" and the phone was a black base with a dial and a hand-held ear piece attached to the base by a cord.



                  And my grandmother (1888-1990) lived through the births of electricity, automobiles, telephones, telegraphs, two World Wars, television, all the way to computers. (P.S. I actually got my hand caught and rolled up to the wrist in the wash tub wringer once).

                    In the small tragedies department Abby D'Agostino, 24, a graduate of Masconomet High School, about five miles from me, ran her qualifying heat in the 5,000m in Rio this AM. At about the 2-mile mark she tripped over a runner who fell in front of her. She and New Zealander Nikki Hamblin helped each other up, which got them some TV time, albeit not what they wanted. Abby finished the race with difficulty and can be seen very prominently being lapped by the field at the end of the race and embracing Hamblin when they finished. No doubt NBC will give her plaudits for sportsmanship. Too bad, I was six feet from her at a meet at Bentley U about June 9 this year.

                        Jiesen thanks for your honest opinion about the The Film MBA PARTNERS. The film should be a lesson to everyone starting out that you are not a loser, and that you can succeed if you are determined , have a goal and never quit. The 3 ladies in the film were all beautiful , and there was no sex or violence ........just a beautiful film ..........BUT apparently only you and I are the only ones who watched and enjoyed it!

                              HELP FOR AN "AGING" FACE!

                              Joan and Lydia Wilen are health researchers , and
                              In a recent interview with Bottom Line, they said, We’ve learned some incredible secrets just watching TV pros put on their faces. Would you believe that you can transform an aging face in about 15 minutes, with nothing but chocolate and heavy cream?! It doesn’t just cover up the wrinkles — it firms up your skin like a facelift! TV cameras are merciless, but this remedy even works for close-ups. 68 TRICK YOUR BODY YOUNG The secret lies in the chocolate, which is rich in copper. This nutrient acts as a boost for skin-firming connective tissues. Their recipe for a 15-minute home facial is: • “Mix 1 heaping tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder with enough heavy cream to form a paste • Apply it to your clean, dry skin and leave it on there for 15 minutes • Rinse the mixture off with a washcloth and lukewarm water, then pat dry.” Fifteen minutes for glowing, youthful skin? We always knew chocolate was a superfood!

                              Folks for heavens sake......if you happen to look like Quasi Modo , The Hunchback Of Notre Dame , Don't expect miracles LOL!
