Black Tuesday
There's only one person there (Joe) who is older'n me, and we both came from a ranching background. We remember when we didn't have electricity, and I know Joe remembers the hard work, and hardships. We were all 'pore' but didn't know it cause everybody was 'pore'. Speaking of age, I'm so old that whenever I eat out, they ask me for money up front!
The snap, crackle and pop you hear in the mornings, is not my Rice Krispies! Sometimes I wake up Grumpy and sometimes I let him sleep!
I'm retired - I was tired yesterday and I'm tired again today! I was at the Beauty Shop 2 hours, and that was only for the estimate! We married for better or for worse - he couldn't do better and I couldn't do worse! The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age.
Birds of a feather flock together - and then crap on your car!

The Clown of "Wilderness"
Ebb is the City Attorney for our county, and has been in business many years. He was the president of the International Lion's Clubs and has traveled the world over, with the Lion's Club conventions. Ebb is also active in the First Baptist Church, and many civic organizations, and still finds time to go to the sports activities. He has a beautiful wife who is very supportive and loves to drive to their destinations while Ebb reads. I'm sure he has many attributes that he hasn't told us about, but you get the idea!
Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.........
A scripture a day keeps the devil away!
If you love your freedom, thank a vet..............

Janet and Anita, newest red shirts
I will include some "funnies". Only thing is, they are so close to the truth, that it isn't 'funny', but o well, as my husband likes to say, "I'm use to hardships".
I was a bear on Wall Street, and that's how I wound up!
Don't forget to turn your clock back. I'm turning mine back to when I was 20!
I'm getting so old that my friends in heaven will think I didn't make it!
As you get older, your secrets are safe with your friends, because they can't remember them either!
She says, "O gawd, I'm convinced my mind is almost gone". He says, "I'm not surprised - you've been giving me a piece of it every day for 20 years".
Don't let aging get you down; it's too hard to get back up............
If you need help, ask God --- if you don't, thank God!
Train Man
He walks 2 miles every morning even before he comes to Wellness, where he uses all the other equipment. He is a train engineer by profession. We are very proud of Jimmy and his accomplishments, and his faithfulness in being one of our 'early birds'.
How's this for a political platform? Don't like through your teeth.....
I tried paying my taxes with a smile, but they wanted money!
If you must burn our flag - wrap yourself in it first.
Sign on back of Septic Tank Truck: Caution, this truck is full of Political Promises........
The best way to get back on your feet - miss a car payment............
Don't sleep with a drip --- call your plumber. (maybe Joe the Plumber?)ha
Lord, keep your arm over my shoulder and your hand over my mouth!

Carolyn's Beauty Shop
Carolyn's Beauty Shop
The TV is on at Wellness, and if not for politics, I don't think they would have any news at all. The reason they hold elections in November, is that is the best time to pick a "turkey"! Voting is like choosing your favorite mosquito, out of a swarm! How can you tell if a politician is lying? See if his mouth is open! I don't like political jokes; too many of them get elected! Washington, DC - The DC stands for darkness and confusion. A politician has to be able to see both sides of an issue, so he can get around it! Soon there'll be nothing but honest politicians - there's nothing left to steal!
Save, you never know when your money will be valuable again!

Pat, the Potter
She has a 'potting shop' at her house, and stays busy making beautiful pottery, which she takes to show, all over.
She has traveled, and lived in other parts of the world, including Turkey.
She is a very interesting lady and we wish her the best.

Heeere's Jean..............
Introducing another regular "early bird" exerciser. Jean is a joy, and we always love seeing her when she joins the other exercisers, to get in shape, lose weight and stay physically and mentally fit, which is what exercise can do for us. We're like a family group and sometimes we don't turn on the TV; we just visit and talk amongst ourselves. It's a fun time for all, and we love Jean and what she brings to our group. She is semi retired and is a nurse part time at the BMH, and Cardiac Rehab. Thanks Jean, for making our day and more importantly, making your day start and end well.
Money isn't everything, but look at how many things it is!
Running into debt isn't so bad, it's running into creditors that hurts.
They may not cure poverty, but the way they are raising taxes, they sure will cure wealth.
Money isn't everything; you get the same results with a checkbook.
Well, back to the old exercise machine..................
Introducing friends from the BMH
The Red Shirts has extended to the hospital staff also. Standing is Fay, and seated is Dawn. Irma usually wears her red shirt too, but today she had on black instead. Aren't they cute? We are so proud of them, and if you go to the hospital, they will surely take good care of you. I happen to be an employee there in the Wellness Center, where they all come to exercise. If I don't see them there, I see them when I clock in and/or out. I love to see their smiling faces and their friendliness makes my day!
A paradox is two doctors
A sadist is a doctor who keeps his stethoscope in the freezer
I don't like money, but it quiets my nerves
A penny saved is ridiculous
Money talks; all I ever hear it say is 'goodbye'
I married for money, and I'm earning every dollar of it!
I'll see ya' in the exercise room "early"!!

The Hurryer I Try, the Behinder I Get
I find myself spending way too much time watching FOX news!! These politics are never-ending! Bash, bash, bash, and they say it's going to get much worse! Poor Hurricane Sarah; they try desperately to chew her up and spit her out, but she has to0 much class to let that get her, and that's what infuriates them. She's everything they're not.....it seems they've gotten all the problems of the world solved and this is all they have to do! I don't like political jokes; too many of them get elected! Are they naturally stupid, or are they waiting for brain transplants? The apprentice idiots have to work their way up to a moron. Promote clean air; keep your mouth shut! No one gets too old to learn a new way of being stupid! Living in the past has one advantage - it's cheaper. Income tax is the government's version of instant poverty. Don't over tax yourself, the government will do it for you. They even tax my imagination!!
I can't complain; what can you expect of a day that begins with getting up?

Sarah's entrance to the scene is akin to Gustav
I did not intend to get into politics on this Blog, but I can't help but smile!
Remember, I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong!
If a person has no education, he just has to use his brains!
I'd be the first person to admit my faults, if I had any!
Promote clean air; keep your mouth shut!!

I Wish Labor Day was over - I'm tired!
Wedding ring; smallest handcuff in the world!
Fishing is just a jerk at one end of the line waiting for a jerk at the other end!
I never knew what real happiness was til I married, and then it was too late
I can't complain. What can you expect of a day that begins with getting up?
Arsonist: a guy with a burning desire.
An undertaker is the last guy to let you down.
A vicious circle is a wedding ring!
A paradox, is two doctors!
If you cross mink with a kangaroo, you'll get fur coats with pockets in them.
Sometimes when two's company, three's the result!
Death is nature's way of telling you to slow down!

RED FRIDAY
Wearing something Red on Friday, is our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops. This will continue each and every Friday until all the troops come home. We hope to send a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something Red. Like a homecoming football game in the bleachers every Friday. Let's make the United States a sea of RED!!!!
If everyone who loves this country will share this with their acquaintances. co-workers, friends and family, it will not be long before the United States is covered in RED, and it will let our troops know that the once "silent" majority, is on their side more than ever.......certainly more than the media lets on.
The first thing a soldier says when asked, "What can we do to make things better for you?" He says, "We need your support and prayers.
Let's get the word out, and wear RED every FRIDAY!!!!
The inspiration for this is of course, our troops and to feel we can let them know how much we love, appreciate and thank them for what they do and the sacrifices they make having to be separated from their families for long periods of time. I know this first hand. I have a son who has returned just today, August 26, 2008, from a 1 year tour in Iraq, which is his 2nd time to be over there. Needless to say, we thank you for all the support and the wearing of Red every Friday, and your prayers for each one's safe return.
Last Friday, we were 100% in Red, at the Exercise room!! Most every Friday you will see all Red ---sometimes someone will forget, and they come in apologizing to me and teasing me that I won't let them in if they don't wear Red, ha! I take their pictures of them in their Red attire. I will post pictures as soon as I learn how to do it, ha!
Today has been an especially happy day for me, for my son to be home!!!
Hopefully he will have a year at home before any more foreign assignments. Continue to pray for our troops and don't forget to wear RED every Friday!!

Woo Hoo!

O pashaw!!!
It has been a long weekend - raining a little each day, which is wonderful - every drop is appreciated - thank you Lord!
I wanted to watch the DNC some, but afraid it would ruin my appetite! I'll hear all about it in the morning when the 'early birds' get to the exercise room! I was curious about the activities outside the convention location. Heard that is where the action and real show would be!
A discussion of arthritis remedies, came up Friday and things got lively. Ebb said he liked that 'horse liniment stuff, ' and it was really good. Bob said Ebb, you aren't suppose to DRINK it!! We had to pick ourselves up off the floor, ha! There was so much stuff going on that day and so much fun. We must keep the TV off more often, so we can all laugh and joke and visit more. I had wished for a recorder that day; so I just went to WalMart and bought one, so now folks, don't clam up on me. I can edit whatever is recorded, so go ahead and say whatever you want to!! I especially like "funnies". If you have a fun story about yourself or something that has happened to you, we can use it, and/or if you know something funny about someone else, we'd love to have that too.
The secret to happiness is a good sense of humor and a bad memory.....
Exposure to the SON may prevent burning!

Today, all our exercisers honored our troops by wearing RED. It was 100%, and it was a real show of patriotism. We are so proud of our "early bird" exercisers. It is quite a feat, to get out of bed at 5am, and dress and go out in any kind of weather, in order to keep our bodies in good health, by making it our daily routine to exercise. I wake up anywhere from 3 on, and get up before my alarm goes off, which is a crowing rooster, and it is tooo irritating to hear in the wee hours of the morning , so I try to avoid it!I now know why that commercial says: "killing the rooster", or something like that, ha!
We have exercisers of all ages and all walks of life. We have one in her 20's and another in his 80's. We have 2 lawyers, a Real Estate broker, and his wife, a Fishing Guide, 2 teachers, a Funeral Home worker/ a potter, Pastor/Counselor/Carpenter/Painter/Floor Sander-Refinisher/you name it and he does it. Nobody but this man can do this; he is so faithful in his attendance and works the entire 2 hours we are open. He is so strong and physically fit, that he can work 15 hours a day and get a few hours of sleep and right back to the exercise room again. He is a true example of what exercise can do. He and several others are told by their Doctors to continue doing whatever it is you're doing. We have a Beautician, Nurses, Secretaries, Accountants, Investment Broker, Doctor's spouse, and some I can't think of! Each one has a story to tell, and some have a lot of stories to tell, ha, and we will be livening up this blog as we go.
