…you just “breeze by it.” Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than ten years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions. “How old are you?” “I’m four and a half.” You’re never 36 and [...]

…Good Vibrations. Honey, where did you put the Harry Potter Broom?

Thanks to Revog Old Age Tee Shirts 1. I childproofed my house, but somehow they still get in. 2. (On the front) 60 is not old (On the back) If you’re a tree 3. I’m still hot… it just comes in flashes. 4. At my age, “Getting Lucky” means finding my car in the parking [...]

and we’re here to royally SCREW you. Allow me to pose a question. WHY do we have property insurance? To protect us in case of loss, correct? Since the cost of replacing a structure is far more than the structure originally cost (all things considered), and since Insurance Companies are still turning profits, what seems [...]

Breaking in a New Priest A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, “When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I [...]

Not to be believed. Nite.

Once my aunt makes it from Pennsylvania, then the entire family will be back in Ohio. Mom & Dad made it safely. Kosheen seems to be having issues, however, and may need a fuse relay replaced.

We’re All F&CKED. I love it when an overbroad piece of legistlation makes news and the first thing the @$$holes in DC can spew is: “A Senate Judiciary aide who spoke at length on condition of anonymity said concerns about the bill are misguided.” ANYTHING that chips away at techonlogical advances is to be scrutinized, [...]

posted a lot today. Things have been busy around here, and I’ve been keeping extra busy to keep my mind off things. We played a song at my Grandpa’s funeral that I was able to track down on CD for my father and it’s supposedly being overnighted to him. I think it’s to be played [...]

Mom & Dad are on their way back to Ohio now. God speed, and good weather to you both.

out to kick some spammers asses, said: Take this fool and put him in a technology-free zone forever, unless on appeal he wins, then fill his inbox with ads for viagra, cilias, refinancing mortgages, breast enhancement, cheap OEM software, bimbos named “Jen” who have webcams, cable filter disablers, imported drugs, funds from Nigerian banks, and [...]

Sorry guys. I’m just not feeling it this evening. I did get to speak to my Grandmother on the phone, and tell her how much I love her, and she knows it’s the truth, but we both know that it’s probably the last time she and I will speak. Revog sent me something, however, that [...]

For my Grandmother, Dorothy Elizabeth Barker, who will be discharged from the hospital to hospice care on Friday so that she may be made comfortable for her final journey home. The doctors are predicting 48 hours after discharge that she’ll pass over to God’s infinite love and care. I love you, Ma-Maw. You’ve touched my [...]

Answering Machine at a Mental Hospital. . . “Hello, and welcome to the mental health hotline…” If you are obsessive-compulsive, press 1 repeatedly. If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2 for you. If you have multiple personalities, press 3, 4, 5, and 6. If you are paranoid, we know who you are [...]

I was interviewing a jeweler for a story I was writing on giving new life to old jewelry, and I asked him to tell me about his most memorable client. “It was a divorced woman who had me make a pair of earrings from her inscribed wedding band,” he remembered. “One earring read, ‘with all,’ [...]

Ever crave your old Atari 2600, 5200, Intellivision, ColecoVision, NES? Everything old is new again.

(Stolen from Ozguru) In a world with justice, the following might have actually happened: “Brussels police department, how may I assist you?” “Uh.. yes.. I just got hit in the face with a cream pie.” “Okay, sir. Have you called the Brussels police department before?” “No” “Well, let me get a little information about you [...]

Taken directly from Roxette Bunny™ HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, “You’re next.” They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

For the most part, AFI got it right. I watched the 100 best songs of the the movies of the past 100 years. Spoiler: #1 was Over The Rainbow. Garland had 5 on the list. Streisand had 4. I remember Minelli having 2, and i think Andrews (Julie) had 4. You can find the full [...]

Nite!

A team of archaeologists was excavating in Israel when they came upon a cave. Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols: It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least three thousand years old! The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and [...]

Dave has a solution to the numerous beheadings in the Middle East, the gist of which is: I do think it is high time we start beheading the al-Qa’eda prisoners they want released. But only after we betoe, beleg, befinger, bearm, and bepenis them. Only when they’re a screaming head on a torso should we [...]
