The Recession is Having an Impact on Everyone

My neighbor got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced. I saw a Mormon with only one wife. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names. My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, and they re-possessed her! A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico . A picture is now only worth 200 words. When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room. The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal.  Oh Great!  The guy ...

Perks of being 50+

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 2 . In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere. 4. People call at 9 pm and ask, "Did I wake you?" 5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. 7. Things you buy now won't wear out. 8. You can eat supper at 4 pm. 9. You can live without sex but not your glasses. 1 0. You get into heated arguments about pension plans. 11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 12. You stop trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. 13. You sing along with elevator music. 14. Your eyes won't get much worse. 15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service. 17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. 18. Your supply ...

1· I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2· There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 3· Life is sexually transmitted. 4· Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 5· The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 6· Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7· Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to? 8· Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. 9· All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. 10· In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it Normal . 11· How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? 12· Who was th...

Before the Internet

I found an interesting question this afternoon, that I thought I'd throw out there..."What did you do before there was internet?"  What a question, right? But really, what DID you do before the internet?  What did I do before getting on the internet...and that question made me think! The things that I can remember doing to replace the time that I spend online, included:  housework, reading, writing letters (by hand, not typed), crocheting, watching TV , spending more time outdoors...! Wow--right?  What does that say about my time now?  I still do most of those things, but in limited quantities.   What I don't do is read whatever book that I have at the moment during the day...that is saved for at night, to read in bed.   I haven't crocheted in years, and to be honest, most of my letters are now typed and printed from my computer vs writing them by hand. I don't watch much TV at all and when I do it's at night, or I watch TV programs on...
