HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (you gotta shout so those old people can hear ya)

Will you do the same if someone posts some left-wing BS? Inquiring minds want to know.

I gotta pen....and paper.

Come now, let's not be backward. After all, we can't ignore progress.

I been working on the railroad, all the live long day! (sorry, tourettes of my typing finger)

nook noun \ˈnu̇k\ Definition of NOOK a : an interior angle formed by two meeting walls b : a secluded or sheltered place or part <searched every nook and cranny> c : a small often recessed section of a larger room <a breakfast nook> We had hooks in our nooks and we hung our raincoats on the hooks in the nooks. A lot of kids, me included, walked to school in those days. I know, that is hard to believe, but most families only had one car and and the bus wouldn't pick you up unless you lived X miles away from the school. So we had those yellow rain slickers. The look

When I was in school, we had a nook also. We kept our raincoats there.

I say books were good enough for us, they are good enough for today's kids! In fact, they should be happy they don't have to use inkwells! Spoiled and pampered is what they are! Hey! You kids get off my lawn! (what's an ipad, I gather that it isn't a female product)

When will we ALL learn that people who are sexually attracted to young kids, CANNOT change their sexual attraction. This is not my opinion, this is the opinion of experts in the field. In fact, it is the same opinion that is held by many straight people and many gay people. Many straight people say that they are only attracted to the opposite sex and many gay people say that they are only attracted to the same sex and both say that nothing will change what sex they are attracted to. Same thing for pedophiles. Only way to stop them is perhaps chemical castration, although that doesn'

Can we call them something besides "untouchables"? I would rather not have someone called "untouchable" making my food. Maybe we could call them Morlocks?

Here's one a guy I know loved to say. (I think I have it right) "People do what they do, they don't just do it to me, they do it to everybody."

True! I did mention to them that if it said his father was deceased, would that mean I was a ghost. What upset me was not the mistake, after all everyone makes them, it was the fact that NO ONE offered any option to correct it.

There are no answers in the bottom of a whisky glass. But if you look long enough, you'll forget the questions.

Got told that a lot did you?

The truth will set you free. But it will tick you off first.

I can live with this. Not that anyone asked me. But if they do ask, mark me down as a yes.

Around 20 years ago I heard these three suggestions to make life easier. I don't always follow them, but things seem to go easier when I do. I am sure you have heard them before, but just in case. 1. If you don't laugh at yourself, you are missing the biggest joke of your generation. 2. Rule 62: "Don't take yourself too damn seriously," 3. Remember, no one gets out of life alive, so take it easy sometimes. What are some of the suggestions you have heard that you like. About anything.

I wish my wife felt the same way. Thanks.

When my son was a freshman in high school, he "misplaced" his 1st report card. He said he had all A's but for two B's. Well my son is a good kid, but he was still a kid and this was the first time his report card had gotten lost, so one day as I was leaving town, I stopped by the school to see if he was correct about his grades. (I didn't understand about the portal thingy at that time) After being sent to the counselors offices, I gave the young girl there my son's name and my name and she looked at my DL to confirm. The girl searched the computer and then asked for my licence again.

Sorry, I just saw black and not invited and my knee jerk reaction was racism. I am practicing being a liberal.

Racism?

My wife needs one of these cars NOW! When someone measures the time between accidents, like a 3 year old kid, then it is time for a self-driving car. Kid - "I am three yrs and four months old." Wife - "I haven't had an accident in a year and two months."

Back in the mid 70's, at the Pizza Hut on Spring Rd. near Hwy 41, my buddy and I were in there on Wed. night having some beers and eating pizza. Ok, we had already ate the pizza and were having beers. Now that I think of it, it was probably 1976, because Gordon Lightfoot's The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was just out and they had it on the jukebox. Anyway, we couldn't find the waitress or for that matter anyone to get us more beer. So we just helped ourselves. At that time, the beer taps were in a station in the seating area, so we just kept having "one more". Finally either the

Nah, just work on the tunnels.
