Home made cards are the best!

My wife and daughter have been making them for me for years.
I treasure them and keep all of them!

Btw...
I got to see your brother start a game on Rush, and then proceed to do a righteous air guitar solo before he started playing!

Priceless!

Michigan seems like a dream to me now, it took us four days to hitchhike from Saginaw.
Remember the band? (no cheating) your old! ..A beautifully written song

Great song, but the Yes version kills the original!

She loved It...and so did my mom, she almost cried and laughed at my flower.

Next year a homemade 3D pop Up card for sure!

The duo. Simon and Garfunkle in their song America. I have it on my iPod.

LTG : )

The looong version! Some killer Howe guitar on it!

Do you remember what tune? He's a Rush nut!

I came across this article and thought it belongs here. You know you are old when....Man dies while burying body!

TRENTON, SC (WJBF)- The Edgefield County Sheriff says evidence shows Joseph McKinnon strangled Patricia Dent inside the home and was burying her in the backyard, when he died of a heart attack.

They say they discovered Joseph McKinnon’s body first, before finding Dent’s body in a backyard pit.

But will he buy a Rush pin?

Negatory!

Well, trying to hastily bury someone you just murdered can be a bit stressful!

Thats why I just dump them in the lake - no digging!

Peat bog. Down they go. Top covers over. No idea how deep they are. Never to be seen again.

LTG : )

Another Headline I found on a story may explain everything....."Humans are causing the ocean to lose its memory, study shows" caused by global warming. Yes that's the ticket!

The fact that you guys know these techniques is somewhat disturbing to me.

You guys seem to know just a little too much about this...…….

Well in my area there ain't no desert for holes or ocean for a deep sea delivery.

All you need around here is a peat bog that is fenced in to keep cows out, because cows wandered in and sank. And you know it's a good one for emergencies.

LTG : )

Sorry to disturb you even further. But the way to do it is actually to use these large (man size) bags of charcoal that the telcos and what not used to have around, for melting ground frost. Two bags on the bottom, two bags on top.

A few years ago I noticed I could not see the salt coming from the salt shaker. Now, I flow the salt into my hand so I can see how much is there. Then I toss it on my food.

Pigs

Pigs are good.

But porcupines eat everything. Especially leather like shoes and wallets.

LTG : )

That's a common practice in order to gauge the flow from the shaker. I do it in restaurants because sometimes the salt comes out too fast, and sometimes not at all.

For you folks who have watched the Netflix western series Deadwood...AL approves of Pigs

... when you remember that "Deadwood" was originally on HBO...

You know your getting old when you were young you held the pole fishing now they have a holder for your pole. Very weird?

It looks like that guy has a multi-purpose tool!

Comment removed.

A guy with dementia today emailed with 6 pins to sell. All are C title EM's and a 2 SS games although one is Space Shuttle. Very sad situation. When you have that many pins you love them. But they aren't worth a lot after seeing pics. No win situation. To me they are $300-400 games with SS worth $800 at best. I'll make my best offer but someday I may be in his shoes.

You know you're old when you used to laugh your ass off watching prank and stunt videos but now since you have so many aches and pains of your own when you're not even doing anything, you yell at the TV, "Why would any sane person do that as a joke? You coulda ruptured the guy's testicle!!"

I jumped off a bridge as a teen once and sprained my wrist. My buddy Brian broke his leg.

...when you can recall on Sesame Street having never seen Snuffleupagus before.

What is Sesame Street?

How about Sam the robot?

When you try to install a ceiling fan and you can’t see the screw holes without taking off your glasses, but you can’t see anything else without your glasses.

You sound like a man who is wearing bifocals.

...when you can't remember how many times you put on and take off your glasses when doing any task.

...when the only muscle that actually feels good after you use it, doesn't get used much anymore!

Not too old to build this never opened Rollercoaster I found at a thrift shop!

I hope for taco bell tonite. Wife visiting my mother in law and hoping my baby talk texts convince her to bring home taco bell on the way home! My baby name is dunky. Dunky wants taco belly! I hope it works

..my wife texted and said Manhu Wok.
That works! Hockey and Manchu wok for the Bacon...life is good.

You know your getting old when...you start reading headlines like this "George W. Bush Mistakenly Condemns 'Unjustified and Brutal Invasion' of Iraq Instead of Ukraine". That's what you get when you listen to Mr. Mumbles to much when he is on.

I try to not get too jaded the older I get, but it is hard not to do.

I was in the military in the 70s. When I got out, I came back home and proceeded to make a living. The military was history. I had a good time while I was in service, but I never left the states and I made no sacrifice while in the service etc. etc.

Life went on. A few years ago, with the US involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, this "thank you for your service" started making the rounds. Every once in a while I need to state that I am a veteran. Now, whenever I say I am a Vet I get this "Thank you for your service".

I know everybody means well, but they might as well be thanking me for "shopping at K-Mart". The saying comes across as an afterthought, or something that is being said just to be said so the sayer can feel better about theirselves.

We, the veterans, have become an advertising slogan. My neighbors, none of who have been in the military, are getting the same sales flyer in their mail box. I suppose I should be grateful, but I feel jaded; Annoyed.

Why do I feel jaded? Because it is addressed to "Current resident". If it was addressed to me, I might feel different. But this "thank you for your service" is hokey shit that means nothing. Nothing at all.

I'll take your military discounts and I'll take your senior discounts. But I am tired of the "thank you" crap.

================================
Next up. I don't pay extra to buy anything organic in the grocery store. Why? Because I don't trust business; I don't trust the advertising.

I'm big on recycling. I have a recycle center I take all my recyclables to. Its cuts down on my trash going to the landfill by at least 90%. So, I am conscious about what is involved in recycling.

Here are some "cage free" eggs I was going to buy. You can see the company is concerned about the environment. How? Because the company says so; Right there on the plastic box: " We share your concern about the environment. We use recycled plastic packaging; Please recycle".

It's all bullshit.

The plastic they are using for their eggs case is made of #1 plastic. #1 plastic in the form of a 2-liter Coke container is recyclable. Once #1 plastic is turned into egg crate plastic it is trash; It has no recycle value in egg crate form.

But it gets worse for the Egg-Land company. Right next to the "recyclable" egg crate is the same company's logo on a Styrofoam egg crate. Styrofoam is not recyclable. Remember the other container?: " We share your concern about the environment. We use recycled plastic packaging; Please recycle".

This company wants it both ways. Nah. I see thru the BS. I bought another brand of eggs. I go for paper egg cartons when that is an option.

You know you are old when you can see thru the advertising BS---and it pisses you off

I can’t get used to the 90’s being “retro”. I was 28 in ‘92, so the 90’s kid shows and toys mean nothing to me. When I think of the 90’s, it doesn’t seem like 30 years ago.

Reminds me when a store in my area had prime beef from the state fair winners.

I had a friend working there. He told me they had way more labels than beef.

LTG : )

Marketing is all about seduction and deception. I get so pissed at some of those ads for gimmicky junk that they try to peddle to old people, and especially the one for the "germ killing" showerhead!

I’m with you on the “Thank you for your service” overuse. It should make me feel appreciated, but it seems to lose its meaning when every time someone finds out I’m a veteran they utter the same 5 words.
