They are out there...

 This is a post that I posted a few years ago, but it was posted on another blog. The author said that he found it on the Internet, I found it via email but the reality is that these people walk among us and they vote.

I was at the McDonald’s Drive Thru and gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25¢. She said, “You gave me too much money.” I replied, “Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.”

She sighed and got the manager. Heo asked me to repeat my request. I did so. He handed me back the 25¢, and said, “Sorry, but we don’t do that kind of thing.” The cashier then gave me 75¢ in change.

We had to have the garage door repaired. The technician told us the motor on the opener was not large enough. I thought for a moment and said that it was 1/2 horsepower, which is common.

He shook his head and said, “You need a 1/4 horsepower.” I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He replied, “No, four is larger than two.”

We have not used that repair person since.

I live in a semi-rural area. Recently, a new neighbor asked the city to remove the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: “Too many deer are being hit by cars! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing.”

My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco. She asked the clerk for minimal lettuce. He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

I was checking in at the airport when a security employee asked, “Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?” To which I replied, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?”

The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it is safe to cross the street. I was crossing with a co-worker. She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.

I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, “Why on earth are blind people driving?’ She is a government employee.

When my wife and I arrived to get our car after service, a dealership person said our keys had been locked inside the vehicle.

We went to the service department and found a mechanic working to unlock the driver’s side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.

I said to the technician, “Hey, it’s open!” His reply, “I know. I already did that side.”

STAY ALERT! They walk among us!

More Rules for seniors about reposting or forwarding email

 Ten rules to remind us (seniors) (and everyone else) not to repost or forward without thinking about the consequences. Remember, the internet can be a wild place, but a little caution goes a long way when it comes to sharing and forwarding messages. Think before you click!

"The Grandparent Golden Rule": Before you share, ask yourself, "Would I shout this in a crowded library?" If the answer is no, keep it to yourself and your cat.

"The Scroll Stopper": If a post makes you cringe, stop scrolling and think twice. Your scroll button won't file a complaint.

"Meme Majesty": Respect the memes. Remember, not every cat photo needs a worldwide audience. Share sparingly.

 "Too Many Cooks in the Inbox": Forwarding emails? Just remember, you're not a chef, and this isn't a recipe. Don't overcook your inbox!

"You Are Not the Weather Channel": Sharing weather updates every hour won't make you a meteorologist. And your friends already know it's raining; they have windows too!

 "Political Paws and Claws": Politics and social media can be a dangerous mix. Don't share divisive posts unless you're ready for a debate at the family reunion.

 "Quotable Wisdom": Be wary of inspirational quotes attributed to Einstein, Lincoln, and Shakespeare. They didn't say half the things they're credited with. Fact-check before you post!

 "Catfish Patrol": If a stranger messages you claiming to be a long-lost relative or a Nigerian prince, it's probably not legit. Don't share your life story or bank info.

 "Chain Gang No More": Break free from chain emails! Breaking the chain won't bring you bad luck; it'll bring you peace of mind.

 "Remember: It's Not 1999": Just because it's an email forward doesn't mean it's true. Trust your instincts, not your inbox.

Updated Rules for People Who Forward Emails...

Without Thinking. I have many friends who still forward emails or repost Facebook posts without thinking. These rules are for them.

1.       I understand that not forwarding an email will not bring bad luck, cause me to lose friends, or erase my mailing lists.

2.       I acknowledge that forwarding an email will not make me hear music or see bizarre images of taco dogs.

3.       I recognize that Bill Gates is not sending me money, and Victoria's Secret is not aware of any gift certificates they're supposed to give me.

4.       I am aware that Ford will not offer me a 50% discount, no matter how many people I forward an email to.

5.       I will not expect to receive gift certificates, coupons, or freebies from any company for forwarding an email to a certain number of people.

6.       I am confident that I will not encounter pop-up windows or any other sudden surprises by forwarding emails.

7.       I understand that there is no email tracking program that rewards me with money for forwarding emails to a specific number of people.

8.       I recognize that the story of a child with cancer from Make-a-Wish collecting cards is outdated, and I will not perpetuate this misinformation.

9.       I am not gullible enough to believe that the government is planning to charge me for every email I send; there is no such bill in Congress.

10.    I will not expect any flashy animations, dancing characters or colourful flowers to appear on my screen after forwarding an email.

11.    I acknowledge that the American Red Cross does not donate money based on how many people I forward an email to; they rely on genuine donations.

12.    I will not allow anyone to guilt-trip me into forwarding emails by questioning my friendship or faith. If God has a message for me, I trust it won't come through an email chain.

70 is the new 60 or is it 66 is the new 70?

 You know what really bothers me? The advice from self-help gurus: 75 is the new 60, and 65 is the new 50.  This phrase is ageist and doesn’t make sense to me. Seriously, what on earth are they on about? Is it energy, cognitive skills, health, the amount of free time you have, or is it all of these things?

When I was younger in my 60s, I had more energy, I was healthier, and perhaps maybe, just maybe, I was a tad wiser - although I won't swear by it. I did not have a lot of free time. The phrase is designed, I think, to allow people to feel good about their age.

The phrase gives people who are feeling bad about their age or accomplishments in life to date, the sense that they can still be useful and productive members of society. Retirement is undoubtedly one of life’s biggest transitions and people today retire by age 63. When they retire most expect to live for another 15 to 20 years. Retirement is no longer the finish line based on life expectancy, it’s the starting gate! You're in for a wild ride of self-discovery, new passions, and a fresh sense of purpose. So, wear your age like a badge of honour! Don't let the experts tell you that your age is not important. Remember 75 is not the new 60 and 65 is not the new 50  you have earned the honour of being your age. People forget that over time you have redefined yourself.

Heavens to Mergatroyd!

Thanks to Patricia for this.

The other day a not-so-elderly (I say 75) lady said something to her son about driving a Jalopy; and he looked at her and said, "What the heck is a Jalopy?" He had never heard of the word jalopy! She knew she was old ...But not that old.

Well, I hope you are Hunky Dory when you read this and chuckle.

About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology.

These phrases included: Don't touch that dial; Carbon copy; You sound like a broken record; and Hung out to dry.

Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We'd put on our best bib and tucker, to straighten up and fly right.

Heavens to Betsy!

Gee whillikers!

Jumping Jehoshaphat!

Holy Moley!

We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley; and even a regular guy couldn't accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop, or a pill. Not for all the tea in China!

Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when's the last time anything was swell. Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys, and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and pedal pushers.

Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here, but he isn't anymore.

We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!" Or "This is a fine kettle of fish!"

We discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent, as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards.

Poof, go the words of our youth. Where have all those great phrases gone?

Long gone: Pshaw, The milkman did it. Hey! It's your nickel. Don't forget to pull the chain. Knee-high to a grasshopper.

Well, Fiddlesticks! Going like sixty. I'll see you in the funny papers. Don't take any wooden nickels. Wake up and smell the roses.

It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has liver pills.

This can be disturbing stuff! (Carter's Little Liver Pills are gone too!)

Leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone booth.

See ya later, alligator! After a while crocodile. Oki-Doki artichokey!

Thanks.

Humour helps deal with stress I think

Those who read these posts over time, may have noticed that I post my small attempts at humour every few weeks. I do that because humour can be a powerful tool in dealing with stress and its effects. I know that for many the prospect of retiring can be stressful and for many living in retirement can also be stressful, so I try to find humour to help deal with that stress.

When we laugh, our bodies release endorphins, which are natural feel-good chemicals that promote relaxation and reduce pain. Laughing can also lower the levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, leading to a sense of calm and well-being.

Humour provides an outlet for expressing and releasing negative emotions associated with stress, such as frustration, anger, and anxiety. It allows us to take a step back from a stressful situation and find a more lighthearted perspective, which can help us cope better.

Humour can provide a fresh perspective on stressful situations. It allows us to view problems from a different angle, finding absurdity or irony in them. This shift in perspective can help reduce the intensity of stress and make challenges seem more manageable.

Sharing a good laugh with others can strengthen social connections and foster a sense of community. Humour creates a positive and enjoyable atmosphere, helping people connect and support each other during stressful times. It also enhances empathy and understanding, making it easier to communicate and find shared solutions.

Humour can serve as a coping mechanism, allowing individuals to find relief and resilience in the face of stress. It provides a healthy distraction, momentarily shifting attention away from stressors and providing a mental break. Engaging in humour can also boost problem-solving skills and creativity, enabling individuals to approach challenges with a fresh mindset.

Laughing triggers positive emotions, leading to an improved mood and overall well-being. It can help counteract negative thoughts and feelings associated with stress, fostering optimism and a more positive outlook on life.

While humour can be a helpful tool for managing stress, it's important to note that not all situations call for humour, and what may be funny to one person might not be to another. It's crucial to be mindful of the context and the preferences of those involved. Additionally, humour should not be used as a way to dismiss or avoid addressing underlying issues. If stress persists or becomes overwhelming, it's advisable to seek professional help or support from trusted individuals.

They call us "the Elderly

So, let's set the record straight. The following is adapted from a post sent to me by my cousin and originally post by Bob Stuart

We were born during the epic decades of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. We saw it all, from the rise of rock 'n' roll to the space race capturing our imaginations.

Our childhood was a glorious era of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We played outside until the streetlights flickered on, rode bikes without helmets, and had the time of our lives.

The 60s, 70s, and 80s were our school days. We navigated the era of bell-bottoms, frizzy hair, and questionable fashion choices. Our report cards were filled with handwritten grades, not the automated online portals of today.

Ah, the romantic escapades of the 70s, 80s, and 90s! We experienced the highs and lows of love, serenaded by the sweet tunes of the Beatles, Whitney Houston, and many others. Our hearts fluttered to the rhythm of the times.

We took the plunge into marriage and embarked on incredible adventures in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Armed with our cameras and maps, we discovered the world, capturing memories on film that we now share on Instagram.

The 80s and 90s brought us into the age of stability. We found our footing, settling into careers, raising families, and embracing the technological advancements that were unfolding before our eyes.

As the 2000s arrived, we realized we had become wiser. We witnessed the birth of social media, the rise of smartphones, and the power of the internet. We adapted and learned to navigate this new digital world.

In the 2010s, we truly embraced the wonders of technology. From the evolution of telephones to video calls connecting us with loved ones worldwide, we marveled at the progress we had witnessed.

Throughout our lives, we witnessed the incredible transformation of entertainment. We bid farewell to slide projectors and welcomed the era of YouTube. Vinyl records gave way to online music streaming. Handwritten letters were replaced by emails and WhatsApp.

From listening to live matches on the radio to watching high-definition TV, we have seen it all. We even went from renting movies at the video store to indulging in the convenience of streaming platforms like Netflix.

We were there when the first computers emerged, navigating the world of punch cards and diskettes. Now, we hold gigabytes and megabytes in the palm of our hands with smartphones and tablets.

Our fashion sense evolved from shorts in childhood to a myriad of styles in adulthood, including long pants, oxfords, and Bermuda shorts. We've witnessed trends come and go, leaving us with memories and fashion faux pas to laugh about.

We have faced challenges throughout our lives, from dodging diseases like infantile paralysis, polio, measles, and H1N1 flu to enduring the current COVID-19 pandemic. But we have always persevered, adapting to whatever life throws at us.

They may call us the "exennials," a generation born analog but adapted to the digital world. We're the "Yaseen-It-All" kind, having witnessed more than any other generation in every aspect of life.

Let's give a well-deserved round of applause to all the members of our extraordinary generation, who have embraced change, adapted, and thrived. We are a unique and remarkable group of individuals.

But remember, time waits for no one. Life is a task we've brought upon ourselves. It moves swiftly, and before we know it, the afternoon becomes evening, the week becomes Friday, and the years pass by. Let's make the most of every precious moment.

Don't let lack of time hold you!

They say laughter is the best medicine

 "I asked my computer for a good joke. It replied, 'Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!' Ah, even computers have a sense of humor... or at least they've learned to mimic one!"

 "You know you're getting old when you bend down to tie your shoe and wonder what else you can do while you're down there. Cleaning the floor seems like a valid option at that point!"

"My favorite exercise is a cross between a lunge and a crunch. It's called lunch. I think I've mastered it!"

"I tried to lose weight by running away from my problems, but now I'm just out of shape and my problems have also upgraded to a full marathon!"

"They say laughter is the best medicine. That's probably why my pharmacist keeps giving me Tic Tacs with a funny face drawn on them. I must admit, I feel strangely better after taking them!

How Children perceive their grandparents.

I was sent this by one of my high school friends, I added to it and thought I would share1.          

1.    I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as I'd done many times before. After I applied my lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye.

2.          My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 68.  My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

3.          After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice,  "Who was THAT?"

4.          A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."  The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last, she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

5.          My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?'' "You're both old," he replied. 

6.          A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story.

·       "What's it about?" he asked.

·       "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

7.          I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I really think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"

8.          When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

9.          When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6."  (WOW!  I really like this one -- it says I'm only '38'!)

10.     A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said. "How do you make babies?"  "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."

11.     Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.  "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."

12.     A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.

·       "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.

·       "No," said another. "He's just for good luck."

·       A third child brought the argument to a close. “They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."

13.     A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and whenever we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

14.     Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

15.     My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.My grandpa is like a walking encyclopedia. Whenever I ask him a question, he starts with, "Back in my day..." and goes on for hours!

16.     Grandma's cooking is legendary in our family. She adds a pinch of love, a dash of nostalgia, and a whole lot of secret ingredients that she refuses to share with anyone. No wonder her food always tastes like pure magic!

17.     Whenever I visit my grandparents, they always insist on showing me their collection of ancient artifacts. I swear, half of them are just old TV remotes and VHS tapes, but they treat them like priceless treasures. It's adorable!

18.     One day, my grandpa tried to impress me by telling me about the time he jumped out of an airplane. I asked him if he had a parachute, and he replied, "Parachute? Who needs a parachute when you have a good sense of humor? It cushions the fall!"

19.     Whenever I go shopping with my grandma, she has this superpower to sniff out all the best deals and discounts. It's like she has a sixth sense for sales. I'm convinced she should start a masterclass on "The Art of Saving Money"!

20.     I asked my little cousin what she likes most about our grandparents. She replied, "They have unlimited hugs and kisses. It's like they have a secret supply hidden in their pockets. I don't know how they do it, but it's awesome!"

21.     My grandpa loves to tell jokes, even if they're a little cheesy. But you know what? It's the delivery that counts. He could make a knock-knock joke sound like the funniest thing ever. I think he missed his true calling as a stand-up comedian!

22.     Grandma has a knack for turning any ordinary day into an adventure. Whether it's a spontaneous picnic in the living room or a treasure hunt in the backyard, she knows how to make every moment special. Who needs Disneyland when you have Grandma?

23.     Whenever my grandparents babysit me, they always have a surprise waiting for me. It could be a homemade fort, a new board game, or even a pet goldfish. They're like the superheroes of fun and excitement!

24.  My little sister once asked our grandpa why he has wrinkles. Without missing a beat, he replied, "Oh, those are just lines of wisdom. The more wrinkles you have, the wiser you become. So, I'm practically a genius!" We couldn't stop laughing at his witty response.
