DRESS CODE

Many of us over 40, OK, over 50, OK, whatever, are quite confused about how we should present ourselves in public. We're unsure about the kind of image we're projecting and whether or not we're correct trying to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

• A nose ring and bifocals
• Spiked hair and bald spots
• A pierced tongue and dentures
• Miniskirts and support hose
• Ankle bracelets and corn pads
• Speedo's and cellulite
• A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
• Bikini and liver spots
• Midriff shirts and midriff bulge
• Thongs and Depends
• Inline skates and a walker

I'VE GOT A TRAIN TO CATCH

From George Carlin's new book...

This item demonstrates how stupid the average American is. Every ninety minutes someone in this country is hit by a train. A train...OK? Trains are on tracks; they can't come and get you. They can't surprise you when you step off a curb. You have to go to them. Get that?

There are five tousand highway / rail-crossing accidents annually. To counter this problem the Dept. of Transportation issued the following rules for people to follow at railroad crossings:

• Don't drive around lowered gates. "OK, got it"
• Don't cross in front of trains. "Never thought of that"
• Don't walk on the tracks. "Check"
• Be aware that trains can't stop quickly. "Good to know"
• Always expect a train. "This one would probably be tied in to the fact that these are railroad track, is that right? Correct me if I'm wrong on this"
• Look for more than one train. "Frankly this is one I never thought of. Maybe if I remember the others, this one will take care of itself"

My favorite quotes...

• Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children...It's what you learn after you know it all that counts...especially for teen agers
• Fishing is not a sport...it's what you do if you're hungry...for golfers
• Please don't mistake my endurance for hospitability...when you're home with guests who won't leave
• The truth is always pathetic, isn't it?...
• There are no shortrcuts to any place worth going...
• The problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you're finished...

Got quotes?

strange dream

This is for new blogger ginavista:

I had the strangest dream last night...I dreamt I ate a giant marshmellow and when I woke up one of my pillows was missing...

it's a semi-bummer

when you post a comment and you think it's good and funny but no one responds for, like, 5 hours...
Matt Jenson...where are you? 'nothing' is a good answer...

Following up on my Canadian relatives I remembered two more classics:
Sectember
& Sangwich
this is important stuff you should know

Chewsday

Had the best time with #1 kiddo Julie at Dodger opener yesterday...I left comment in her blog today...

#5 kiddo Sarah in Hawaii is on her way to delivering her 2nd child...could be a close call and heard she may have it delivered in the car...if that's the case and if it's a boy we'll nick-name him OTTO...

Played Trivial Pursuit on Easter Sunday at #2 kiddo Gina's house after finishing watching the Masters golf...was fun as I've had in a while but playing with Alli Hibb pretty much drove us all nuts...if you can believe she accused Julie of cheating!

Chewsday is how my Canadian relatives pronounce Tuesday...even Eric Clapton says it in an old song...also Bodadoes are potatoes...go figure...

Resting here after a semi-huge birthday lunch with my office at the Fish Market in downtown Riverside thinking where's the water around here? Their fish comes from Seal Beach or near there...

Donas called and said to get ready for an El Torito Bar & Grill birthday gig later on...I finaly concluded that 66 ain't that bad...

my finger tips had a "blog something" kind of feeling so
"Hope u all have a Happy Un-birthday"

glad that's over?

Never a blue Monday around Di Lalloland

Last night our family celebrated Zac's 22nd and my 66th birthday...unfortunately Zac coudn't make it but we tried to have fun and we did...at Cheesecake Factory in M.V. Mall...amazing appetizers, fabulous food and delicious desserts...read Julie's blog today...
I wish Zac had been there because I told everyone how ironic it was that I am 3 times his age but when he turns 44 I'll only be twice his age...a fun thing to know until I really thought about it...he'll be 44 and I'll be 88!!!
Yikes!!
Forgot to mention how we missed Alli...said she had to work...right!!! if you read her blog today you'll read that she doesn't call it work...it is fun to her...
I ate soooo much last night that I probably won't eat today...at least until noon...
