What do Retired People do all day?...Chinese Eye Test

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.


Here's an example of what one retired couple do to stay active and have a little harmless fun: the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes.When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'



He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So my wife called him a shit-head.

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age. Photobucket



Oh, yes, it's nothing but busy busy busy!! I've not tried that one....haven't had time...By the time I get up, make coffee, clean teeth, put em in, get hubbys early morning pills, get pills for the two of us, roll him out of bed so I can make it, ask him what he wants for breakfast, turn on computer, get coffee, ask him what he wants for dinner, clean the litter box, decide what 'fashion' to wear, get dressed, ask him what he wants for lunch, he says...'still thinking on breakfast".....by then it's too late for breakfast...

It is important to keep your mind and body active, not to mention your bowels!

Don't neglect your eyesight...take this 'Chinese Eye Test'...

If you cannot decipher anything, then try pulling
the corner of your eyes as if you were Chinese.
It works ... I'm not kidding try it !!

My eyes are not that good, but I did manage to read it without pulling my eyes...guess everything is still good.....

Have a delicious day..got any good clever ideas to keep an old body alert and kicking? Please leave me a comment.............

Thomas Jefferson-A Wise Man

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. - Thomas Jefferson
.....really take some time and think about his comment...our future generations depend on it.

Here's another word from the wise Jefferson....

To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.
- Thomas Jefferson


These comments from the 1800s are appropriate for today...WHAT are We The People allowing to happen?

and yet another Jefferson wise snippet....
In matters of style, swim with the current;

In matters of principle, stand like a rock.

So, ask yourself, are you going with the current trend of Big Government? or are you sticking to your principles and standing firm like a rock for our liberty? We need to use common sense when "hiring" our representatives. They are supposed to have OUR best interests at heart.....think about it!!

Now, back to being an aging badly, retired bit of humor...
