Old Age Confusion

The Wrong Way

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him,
"Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the
wrong way on I- 90. Please be careful!"
"Shoot!" said Herman, "it's not just one...
It's hundreds of them!
  
3 Sisters
Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96 live in a house together.
 One night the 96 year old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses.
 She yells down the stairs, "was I getting in or out of the bath?"
The 94 year old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see."
She starts up the stairs and pauses.
Then she yells, "was I going up the stairs or down?"

The 92 year old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea and
listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says,
"I sure hope I never get that forgetful."
She knocks on wood for good measure.
She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon
as I see who's at the door."
Silent Advice
An elderly couple were attending church when about
halfway through the service she leaned over and said to him,
 "I just had a silent passing of gas. What should I do?"
Her husband leaned over to her and replied,
"When we get home put a new battery in your hearing aid."

By the time you find greener pastures . . .
your too old to climb the fence.

Life is uncertain . . . eat dessert first
Over the hill . . . is better than under it

You are only young once . . .
but you can stay immature indefinitely

A Challenging Puzzle

THIS IS NOT THE EASIEST OF PUZZLES............................

Have fun with it!

A     “MOVING” PUZZLE
 
This is a real puzzle…..not a joke!
 
Try it, you'll like it, or you'll hate it, or you won’t even remember it.
  
(Remember to send it on, before you forget it, though)
  
****MOVING   PUZZLE****
 
If you can put this puzzle together. You can say goodbye to Alzheimer's!---AT LEAST FOR NOW.........
This is really clever and a bit challenging. As we older people are concerned with Alzheimer's disease, this puzzle may help dispel some fear. 

It's easy to put together if you are not affected by Alzheimer's disease, but impossible to do for someone with the disease. 
 
Give it a try. If this puzzle is particularly difficult for you, then your physician can offer you additional testing to check you for Alzheimer's.
 
Just remember, if you can put this puzzle together, you do not have to fear Alzheimer's!  A really neat puzzle!!

Unbelievable "Pork"

This is unreal. You didn't see this on ABC,CBS or NBC. 
I still can’t believe we have been so duped.


This is a total disgrace!!!!


So this is why Speaker of the House John Boehner would not sign off on the $51 BILLION relief bill for Hurricane Sandy and Chris Christie made a big stink over it........turns out Boehner knew what he was doing......

If you think the government doesn't have a spending problem, just check the items added to the Hurricane Sandy Relief bill sent by the Senate to the House. Do any of them have any relation to the hurricane?


$4 million for the Kennedy Space Center .
$8 million to buy cars and equipment for the Homeland Security and Justice departments.
$20 million for a nationwide "Water Resources Priorities Study".
$41 million for eight military bases including Guantanamo Bay .
$56.8 million for charting the debris from last year's Japanese tsunami.
$58.8 million for forest restoration on private land.
$100 million for the federal Head Start day care program.
$150 million in funding for Alaskan fisheries.
$188 million for new Amtrak lines (not repair, whole new lines).
$197 million "to. protect coastal ecosystems and habitat impacted by Hurricane Sandy."


$5.3 billion to the Army Corps of Engineers (that's more than their annual budget).

 
$10.78 billion for public transportation, most of which is allocated to future construction and improvements, not disaster relief.
$13 billion would go to "mitigation" projects to prepare for future storms.
$17 billion for wasteful Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), a program that has become notorious for its use as a backdoor earmark program.


How does any of this have anything to do with immediate emergency relief for the victims of Hurricane Sandy?

Harry Reid passed this through the Senate then sent them all home, so that the House couldn't send it back in time to remove the pork. All they could do was vote it down. These Senators don't care about the victims of Sandy , it's all just business as usual.


"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." – Plato


The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind.

Senior Driver


I laughed out loud, all to myself at this one.

Do not regret growing older, It’s a privilege denied to many.

SENIOR DRIVER

My neighbor was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model car that came crashing through his hedge and ended
up in his front lawn.

He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair.
He said with excitement, "you appear quite elderly to be driving."

"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly. "I'll be 97 next month, and I am now old enough that I don't even need a driver's license anymore.

"The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a driver's license. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the waste basket, saying,

'You won't need this anymore,' so I thanked him and left!"
