Retirement HumorHere are some funny things my brother sent me, enjoy! I tried to catch some Fog but I mist. When
chemists die, they barium. Jokes about German sausage are the wurst. A soldier
who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
I know a guy who's addicted to
brake fluid. He says he can stop any time. How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. I
stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Than it dawned on me.
This girl said she recognized
me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity.
I can't put it down. I did a theatrical performance about puns . It was a play on words. They told
me I had type A blood, but it was a Type O (typo!). PMS jokes aren't funny, period. Why
do they say the Indians were here first? They had reservations. Class trip to the Coca-Cola factory. I
hope there's no pop quiz. Energizer bunny arrested. Charged with battery. I
didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me. When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble. What
does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds. I wondered why the baseball was getting
bigger. Then it hit me! Broken pencils are pointless. What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive
vocabulary? A thesaurus. England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool. I used
to be a banker, but then I lost interest. People dropped out of communism class because of lousy
Marx. All the toilets in New York 's police stations have been stolen. Police have nothing to go on. I
got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough. Haunted French pancakes give me the crepes. Velcro
- what a rip off! Cartoonist found dead in home. Details are sketchy. Venison for dinner?
Oh deer! Earthquake in Washington obviously government's fault. I used to think
I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. Be kind to your dentist. He has fillings, too For

A Dog's Life and Getting OldUnfortunately, the dog has given up on the bunnies. If you read a previous blog you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Went on a girls' week out with my sister at our cabin near Yellowstone. It is truly God's country
up that way. We left just before the elk started to bugle and the buffalo started fighting over females which is great to
watch. Didn't see any bears but heard they had come down from the higher elevations to eat berries so they were around.
Saw a big brave hunter kill an elk on a trophy hunter preserve. It was surrounded by a fence and the "hunters"
rode along in an ATV to "find" their prey. We watched from the road as he took out his rifle, but left and
returned later to see that he had killed one. I assume the ranch sells the meat to restaurants. It was hard for me but
I finally came to terms with it when my sister reminded me that these elk were raised to be killed just like cattle.
Sat on the deck and watched the river glide by, but the kids are back in school so no inner-tubes floated by. We did
watch an osprey catch a fish. No moose this time.
We had fun talking about growing up, raising our kids, the grand
kids, and the favorite topic for people our age...the aches and pains of getting old. We also shared how we are trying
to re-adjust to retirement, and what we're doing to stay engaged in life and the importance of continuing to look towards the
future. She bought an old house and is remodeling, putting in a front yard, and planning to make a garden. We also look forward
to another trip toour cabin in the Northern Rocky Mountains.
Me? I just started a new writers' group....looking
forward to meeting like-minded women. My husband says it has put a new sparkle in my eyes. My good friend Jeri now wants
to start a group for grandparents raising grandkids since she just adopted her grandchild.
What are your plans?
Travel? Writing? Learning a new language? Visiting family?....let us know in the comment section
If you haven't
guessed, sometimes I write the blog, sometimes it is written by my husband and other times someone will send us something
that we put in and hope our readers will comment.

Leno unleashed Now
that he's a short timer on the notoriously left wing network, NBC, Jay Leno does not feel constrained to stay within
the network guidelines of "no Obama criticism and staying politically correct" Lenno isn’t
just making fun of Republicans any more. He has gone off the reservation so to speak and what a breath of fresh air it is
to see he is finally dishing it on both parties. Here is what he has been saying lately. Finally some jokes
and funny comments about Obama. Here they are: "I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke,
but I don't want to get audited by the IRS." On NSA surveillance: "We wanted a
president who listens to all Americans - now we have one." On a new IRS commissioner:
"He's called 'acting commissioner' because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House." On
closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists: "If he really wants to close it, turn it into a government-funded solar
power company. The doors will be shut in a month." Concerning the Benghazi
, Associated Press, and IRS scandals: "Remember in the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe
Biden?" On Obama saying he didn't know about the IRS scandal: "He was too busy not knowing anything
about Benghazi to not know anything about the IRS." "The White House
has a new slogan about Benghazi : Hope and change the subject."
"It's
casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they're casually going through everybody's phone calls and records." "It
is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took the fifth." "Fox
News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told you so!'" "These
White House scandals are not going away anytime soon. People in Kenya are now saying he's 100 percent American. That's how
bad it's gotten." On Obama's commencement address: "He told the young graduates their future is bright unless,
of course, they want jobs." On a Chicago man who set a record for riding a Ferris
wheel: "The only other way to go around and around in a circle that many times is to read the official report on Benghazi
." On White House claims of ignorance on the scandals: "They took 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'
out of the Pentagon and moved it into the White House."
