Senior Golden Sneakers............August

Happy Tuesday!! :bigsmile: Casino anyone??? :laugh: I have changed my Wednesday night bingo night to Tuesday, casino day. :blushing: Let's just hope I continue to keep breaking even so I can continue this trend. :laugh:

Becky, it is always nice to travel but oh so good to go home. I am glad you are asking about the Bubba because I don't know what it is either. I do think they mean physical therapy for the sciatica because exercise is the best cure for it. I too suffer with the after effects of sciatia and the back of my legs act up if I walk barefoot for some reason. :noway:

Gayla, how did Neil enjoy his fishing trip? Sounds like a good day to pamper yourself with a hair do and pedicure and you well deserve it.

Jeri, you take the most beautiful pictures, do you ever enter them in contests? Did you ever get the final results from your last surgery? No news is good news.

Marie, it really amazes me that you can have so many days of such extreme heat without rain. As soon as we hit high temps we start to get violent storms. Today our weather is gettig more comfortable without the high humidity and tomorrow is supposed to be better which is great since we are going to Six Flags for another full day,

Shirely, the wedding sounds like it was beautiful, a background of Niagara Falls, fantastic. Your summer is going well with wonderful memories. :drinker:

Jackie, I just checked the cream .tea and it looks delicious. How is it in nutrition mostly sugar.

Barbie and Jake, have their hands full with the move, I wish we could all go and help them.:glasses:

Hope everyone else is doing well and has a great day, take it one day at a time.

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate,and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'

'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.

'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.

'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'

The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.

'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'

'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'

'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.

'There should be a bowl by the pump,' said the man.

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. 'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.

'This is Heaven,' he answered.

'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.

'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'

'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell.'

'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'

'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'




Happy Wednesday!! We will be at Six Flags all day and night, will check in tomorrow.

Have a great day!!

BE CAREFUL JAKE!!!!

Older Men Scam
Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and
in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I
wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it.

A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at Lowes, Home
Depot, Costco, or even Wal-Mart. This one caught me totally by surprise.
Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping.
Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't
be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.


Here's how the scam works:
Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come over to your car or truck
as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping
your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out
of their skimpy tank-tops. (It's impossible not to look).

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say, "No", but instead ask
for a ride to McDonald's.

You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start
undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other
one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th,
24th, & 29th. Also July 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th &
27th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage
of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.

Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for
$.99 at the Dollar Store and bought them out in three of their stores.

Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just
running back and forth from Lowes, to Home Depot, to Costco, Etc.
So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them
to be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch
and around 4:30 in the afternoon.)

Let's be safe out there.

Bottle of Wine

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold
Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally
demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in
mysterious ways.

After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers .

The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman.
Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt.
This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in
peace for the rest of our days.'

Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be
a sign from God! But you're still at fault...women shouldn't be
allowed to drive.'

The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle. My car
is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely
God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune. She
hands the bottle to the man.
The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the
bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.

The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'
The woman replies, 'No. I think I'll just wait for the police...'

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Women are clever, evil *****es.
Don't mess with them.
