It is that time of year again. In approximately 12 days I start the fall and winter tradition of growing a beard . Nothing wild and crazy , just a temporary addition to my permanent moustache. The males in my family have the yearly experience, and since I retired, I can participate. Do you have a seasonal tradition? What is your opinion on a man growing facial hair (I won't ask about women though)? I have actually found that maintaining a beard is more time consuming than being clean shave! Ladies, would you be willing to assist in a guys grooming efforts? Guys would you be comfortable with assistance?

I ran across these a few days ago. It made me appreciate that I have not had a bad day in a long time. I know it may seem mean, but I get a real chuckle out of some of them. I do sympathize with those that have to deal with the unexpected like some these folks. But , there are clearly some that maybe the "victim" could have avoided by using common sense? Have you seen anything like these incidents? Or have you had a bad one like them?

Usually Sundays are my days for getting "reset" for the week ahead. I think about last week, the week ahead , things I did do, did not do and things I should have done. It is a catch all day. How do you spend your Sunday? Here are some signs that reflect things I may or may not have done. And things I should have done

The count down has started, tomorrow is Halloween. So maybe it is time to start with some cheesy pictures, cartoons and such to start warming up. This time, it is power to the adults!!! Lets do it right, lets enjoy it. While I am thinking of it, do you have any scary or funny stories of the season? Maybe the picture issue is fixed?

I did something like this earlier this year. I heard another "economics expert" puking advice yesterday . Have you ever had the reason to wonder about advice being given to you by an alleged "expert"? Please read this and see the remainder of my comments at the end.
Woman: Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes
Woman: How many beers a day?
Man: Usually about 3
Woman: How much do you pay per beer?
Man: $5.00 which includes a tip
(This is where it gets scary !)
Woman: And how long have you been drinking?
Man: About 20 years, I suppose
Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 correct?
Man: Correct
Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?
Man: Correct
Woman: Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do you drink beer?
Woman: No
Man: Where's your Ferrari?
I learned years ago that many "experts" really have no experience, they are just puking out what they have read in a book written by another "expert". A friend of mine says, if your boots are not dirty , your are not old enough to give advice. This really rang true to me during the recent economic down turn. Close friends of mine, at the beginnings of the problems went to "experts" for advice. Both they and the "experts " lost substantial assets. My strategy actually kept me with no loss, no great gains, but no loss. The difference between me and an "expert" was, I worked hard for my money and learned through hard knocks.What are your experiences with "experts", have they been good, bad or indifferent?

I know that bullying is a natural part of growing up. But there are limits. Yesterday I went to the grocery store and saw several on the sidewalk being loud. They were about 10 or 11 years . One had another , maybe 7-8 years old backed into a corner of the building and was loudly verbally abusing him, most with profanity that could have made me blush. There were adults just walking by , paying no mind to the dilemma . I walked up behind the bully and in my best Chief Master Sergeant voice screamed into his ear,,, WTF is wrong with you? Get your ass out of here!!! Well, this macho bully actually pissed his pants and ran off. So much for macho bullys. I took the into the store and found his parents. My point is, I am an advocate of stepping in when someone relatively defenseless is being abused . How an adult could just walk by and do nothing is unthinkable to me. A bully can only "operate" in the shield of anonymity , when they get dragged into daylight, the shrink away.

Since the self pleasuring monkeys that run the site can not fix the picture issue on this site (yes, that rant felt good ). Lets try a couple jokes. I do not tell jokes often, I get so involved in the telling, I am smiling and laughing before I finish. Are you a joke teller? Even if you aren't, What kind of jokes do you enjoy?
Going to Lunch
A farmer is driving his 8 year old down the road to go to lunch. As he nears a couple on the side of the road, he notices they are arguing and watches in horror as the wife cuts off her man's penis and throws it into the traffic.
The penis hits the windshield of the farmer's truck. Not knowing how to react, he says nothing. Just then, his says, "Daddy, what was that that hit the window?"
Without missing a beat, the farmer replies, "Oh honey, that was just a fly..."
His then exclaims, "Well that fly had the biggest dick I ever saw!!!!!!"
Chinese Farmer's
A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my , I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
"Ok," said the man, thinking that the must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner, the came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese torture 1: Large rock on chest."
"Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle."
In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder.
As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

What a ray of sunshine a big smile is. I really dislike being around a bunch of sour puss, non smiling folks. Sharing your smile with others makes their day. Why not? it only takes a few facial muscles after all. I know it is sometimes difficult to smile, but It does improve your day. Sometimes that smile can be the result something naughty you did and know one will even know. To me the most infectious smile is a babies , so innocent . How about you, are you a smiler ? Do others smiles improve your day?
We will see if the morons have fixed the picture thing today

I was contemplating some of the changes in my life as I "mature" . I guess I could just hang around and watch the world go by, but I think my mind is too active and my body still has not started to wear out. All the "best parts " still work just fine. Why just give up as the years get added on? I am reminded of a quote, attributed to George Carlin "'Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SHIT....WHAT A RIDE!"
The moron administrators deleted the picture AGAIN!!! See somewhere below, I will repost it
A friend of mine sent this too me, it is sort of what my neighborhood is like
HOME REPAIRS!
Today, a friend of mine’s wife said to him, "Honey, get off your butt and fix that gutter downspout! And, I want it done before the end of the day!” Well, as you all know, at my age, my friends, and most our age, are retired and do have the time to address such “Honey do’s”.. So, he invited some of us neighborhood buddies over to help with the project. One is a sheet metal fabricator. One brought his welder. One brought beer and Nachos. One brought a grill and burgers. Took us about 4-6 hours, and 30-40 beers, but we got it done just as we finished off the last of the burgers. As usual, the wife is still not happy! Can’t understand, cause all us guys love it! Personally, I cannot wait for it to rain again.
There may or may not be a picture here

Here is some food for thought . In your life time, what technologies have you seen invented and then saw it become obsolete? Or just common things when you were younger and are now obsolete Things have evolved so fast in my lifetime, I was stunned when I gave it some thought. Some things that were the coolest thing, have now fallen to the wayside. Some of the most apparent are in the communications world. What things come to mind to you?
Lets see if the site allows pictures today
I guess not, the incompetents took the pictures again
Dial phone
Eight track tapes
Cassette tapes
VHS tapes
Betamax tapes
Key opened steel beer cans
Electric Typewriter
Floppy disk
Payphone
Pagers
