Senior Special Breakfast

Send this to the Seniors in your life. I'm sure they'll appreciate it!! Even non-seniors will appreciate it!!!!! It pays to think outside the box!

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "Seniors Special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."

"Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" my wife asked incredulously.

"YES!!" stated the waitress.

"I'll take the special then." my wife said.

"How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked.

"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied.

She took the two eggs home.

DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!! We've been around the block more than once!
We seniors got to do what we got to do!!! (laughing) Fran

9 Months Later...

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob.
So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard.
So they pulled into a nearby farm an d asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
"I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained. "I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north a bout 9 months ago?"
"Yes, I do." said Bob "Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"Well, um, yes," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out, "I have to admit that I did."
"And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?" Bob's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did."
"Why do you ask?"

"She just died and left me everything."
(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?... now keep that smile for the rest of the day.)

Comments made in the year 1955!
That's only 52 years ago!

"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.00."
"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2, 000.00 will only buy a used one."
"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.
"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL of DAMN in it."
"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President."
"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
"It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
"It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
"Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat."
"I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."
"Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress."
"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
"There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
"No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for my blood."
"If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."
Know any friends who would get a kick out of these, pass this on! Be sure and send it to your kids and grandkids too!
I sure remember these statements,,,

PLease read this and think about the men and women , out there on the MEAN streets doing their duty.This was sent to me by my cousins wife Karen,
because you see, my cousinher husband is Elmer Phillips, and he was a cop in Williamstown NJ, then became a New Jersey State Trooper, now has retired. So they know the feelings about being JUST A COP, means, I say God protect them all. Fran
Just a Cop
The funeral line was long, there are an awful lot of cars.
Folks came out of the restaurants and they came out of the bars.
The workers at the construction sitesall let their hammers drop.
Someone asked. "What is this all for?"And they said,"Aw, just a Cop." Some chuckled at the passing cars,some shed a silent tear,some people said, stupid."
"All these dumb policemen here."
"How come they are not out fighting crime?"
"Or in a doughnut shop?""Sure is a lot of trouble, for someone who's just a Cop."
They blocked the intersections, and blocked the interstate.
People yelled and cursed,"damn, it's going to make me late!""This is really ridiculous!""They're making' us all stop!"
"It seems they are sure wasting time, on someone who's just a Cop."
Into the cemetery now, the slow procession comes; The woeful Taps are slowly played.there are loud salutes from guns.
the graveyard workers shake their heads"This service is a flop.""There are lots of good words wasted, On someone who's just a Cop"
Yeah, just a Cop to most folks,Did his duty every day.Trying to protect us,until his life was taken away.When he got to heaven,St. Peter put him at the top.An angel asked him,"Who was that?"And he said, "Aw, just a Cop."
The Judgment :The Officer stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass.He hoped his shoes were shinning,just as brightly as his brass."
Step forward now, Officer,How shall I deal with you?Have you always turned the other cheek?To my church have you been true?"
The Officer squared his shoulder and said,"No, Lord, I guess I am not,because those of us who carry badges can'talways be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays,and at times my talk was rough.Sometimes I've been violent because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep.Though I worked a lot of overtime,when the bills got too steep.
I never passed a cry for helpthough at times I shook with fear,and sometimes, God forgive me,I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,it needn't be so grand.I never expected or had too much,but if you don't...I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne,where the saints often trod.As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer." "You've borne your burdens well." "Come walk a beat on heaven's streets," "You've done your time in Hell."

Please,, Please go to this web site and watch this short move!!!!
Turn on your speakers,,
and read the words written there,,,
It is so true and so beautiful.
Also, pass it along to the people you love,,

Hi just to be sure I checked it out on SNOPES you can to it is true
Sometimes I get suckered in and think these things are true and they are not , so I checked this time!!!Fran
http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/butter.asp

Subject: Butter vs. Margarine & the Winner Is....

P ass The Butter .. please.
This is interesting . . . Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so th ey put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.
How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW.. the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .
And now, for Margarine.. Very high in trans fatty acids. Triple risk of coronary heart disease . Increases total cholester ol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold. Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response. And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself: Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: * no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) * it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic .
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to 'butter them up')!
Chinese Proverb: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.
So..., DO IT !

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF ANY ONE HAS A CONNECTION WITH ANY ONE WITH THIS LAST NAME PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, OR MY SISTER ,,MARIE...

When I am dead and in my grave,and all my bones are rotten.
This little book will tell my name,

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me

Why my house is such a mess.

He asked if I'd been 'computering',

And I had to answer 'yes.'

He told me to get off my fanny

And tidy up the house.

And so I started cleaning up...

The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.

That really did the trick...

I was just admiring my work..

I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops I found

A real absorbing site

That I got SO way into.

I was into it all night. Sigh!

Nothing's changed except my mouse

It's very, very shiny.

I guess my house will stay a mess...

While I sit here on my hiney.
