CRAP!!!

It was a great day yesterday here in Bloomington. Sunny, not much wind, and temperature in the high 40's.
Woke up to this crap this morning.
Maybe God ate too much turkey and now he's crapping all over us.

SAFEWAY IS CHEAPER

FALLING

I read an article the other day indicating that falls are the leading cause of injury for older people.
One out of every three Americans 65 and older falls and almost a third of them require medical treatment. What's scary is that almost 16,000 older people died from falls. So, I've come up with a way to make sure I'm in the category of seniors who don't get hurt or die after falling. I put a mattress on the floor, intentionally tripped myself, and fell on the mattress. No injury and I'm still alive. Got that out of the way......Now what's next?

LIFE "SUCKS" FOR MANY

Every once in a while, I come across a news report like this, and it makes me appreciate how truly lucky I have been during my lifetime. Difficult days I have experienced from time to time, don't even come close to what many others through no fault of their own are faced with on a daily basis.

A KID LIKE ME???

Knowing this kid, and from the expression on her face along with her crossed arms, I have to wonder what she's thinking. Probably something like, "Geez, when is this old buggah going to pop off."

FIRST TIME FOR THIS

Whenever repairs are needed at the senior residence, I don't usually call ahead to make an appointment. I just show up because most always, the occupant is home. The other day, I knock on a door and a woman responds before opening the door, "Who is it?" Always best to be careful before opening your door to a stranger. I say, "I'm here to fix your kitchen faucet." She says, "What color is your shoes?" "Excuse me?" She replies, "Do you have on yellow shoes?"
"No I don't have on yellow shoes" and wonder if I should start running. Besides, who the hell shows up wearing yellow shoes to do repairs. She opens the door, and my curiosity kicked in. She explained that a previous repairman had been very rude to her, and after listening to her story, I had to agree. Of course, there's always two sides to every complaint. I ask, "Can you describe the repairman?" Her reply was, "He had on YELLOW SHOES!" Geez! I'm not looking forward to gettin' old.

DIET IMPROVEMENT

One of these items is supposed to be bad for you. However, I'm not able to figure out which one.
Chomp, chomp...........OH, MAMA!!!

GOT MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET?

Here's where it's going!
Damn! Where did I put the rope.....?

Today, I walk into the local Lowe's hardware store and the first thing that confronts me is the following:
Geez! The start of October and already Santa is beckoning. Wondering why so early, I did some research, and here's an excerpt of something I found.

<<Jesus never commanded Christians to celebrate his birth. Rather, he told his disciples to memorialize, or remember, his death. (Luke 22:19, 20) Christmas and its customs come from ancient false religions. The same is true of Easter customs, such as the use of eggs and rabbits. The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas or Easter, nor do true Christians today.>>

WTF!!! It took me all these years to find this out! All the people that make themselves "nuts" during the Christmas season.....not really necessary. Just think, instead of just the "big guys" screwing our economy, the little guy now has an opportunity to play, as well. How you ask? Don't shop for xmas presents. We'll show those overpaid, under-performing CEO's along with the board of directors creating their compensation packages how to do something "first class." So there!

I'M SO EXCITED

It has been hinted that a particle accelerator like "CERN" could be on the way to becoming a "TIME Machine." Hoping to live long enough to have it come to fruition so that I may be transported from place to place by it instead of having to use the airline industry. Just think...Place to place in an instant! No TSA, cramped seats, inadequate leg room, over-bookings, complicated seat pricing, delays, lost baggage, cancellations, sleeping pilots, and surly flight attendants.
When the wheel was invented, I'm sure there was someone who said to his kid, "Can't get any better than this."

When I was playing pong on a Commodore Vic-20, I said to my kid, "Can't get any better than this."








Hmmm.....Wonder what in the future the kids of today will think can't get better than this.


C'mon Jesus, let me live to a thousand.
