One Quiet Moment
Smile! It's Saturday

I know you have been
lying awake at night wondering why baby diapers have brand names such as
"Luvs", "Huggies," and "Pampers', while undergarments
for old people are called "Depends".
Wellll here is the low down on the whole thing. When babies dirty in their pants, people are still gonna Luv'em, Hug'em and Pamper'em. When old people dirty in their pants, it "Depends" on who's in the will! Glad I got that straightened out so you can rest your mind. |

Happy IVGLDSW Day!
Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn
Smart Woman's Day, so please send this message to someone you think fits this
description. Please do not send it back to me as I have already received it
from a Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman! And remember this motto to live by:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, totally worn out and screaming 'WOOO
HOOOOO what a ride!'
To the Girls !!
To the Girls !!
Inside
every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the hell happened.

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.

The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
~ Helen Hayes (at 73)~
I refuse to think of them as chin hair. I think of them as stray eyebrows.
~ Janette Barb er~
Old age ain't no place for sissies.

Wisdom for the Day -- and a Giggle!
An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked.
As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame
the old man was walking and the boy was riding
.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who remarked,
'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.'
So they then decided they'd both walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought
they were stupid to walk when they had a Decent donkey to ride.
So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put
such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the
animal and he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye!
Have a Nice Day and Be Careful With Your Donkey

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
