INFORMATION AGE

The industrial revolution brought through industrialization, an economy based on the manipulation of information.With the Internet the Information Age has allowed rapid global communications and networking to shape modern society.This is an interesting time to be alive an I happen to be 77,that does not mean anything to you other than you like me will miss out on a whole lot of information that is being networked. That is if you like me are in our second childhood.That is the old age of youth Now you take me I'm in the youth of old age which makes me about 3 years old.It would be great to live this life over at this present time an see how this computer age plays out.But you know that old saying about something that you do with your hands,When every thing is said an done an it's all over don't you think that all this information is trivia in the whole scheme of things.Just a thought

Short

I have a great memory only problem is it's just too short ,reading Dizz's blog made me think.how I handle my problem.an this is the way I do it .I pull up my blog ( JUST A STICK ) I open up POSTING then on TITLE I may just post one word , two or maybe three key words to help me remember.Then instead of posting it I draft it an at a later date open it up an finish it.I probably look at my blog different than most people look at theirs.My Blog even thought it goes public is just a reflection of my thoughts at a given point of time.,I get pleasure out of remembering the past ,right now my mind is jumping all over the place.My early childhood , the second world war,even the first an all the wars between then an now an I say to myself WHY.What a shame people solve their problems in that matter.

HOW TO START A FIGHT

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift...



The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.



When she asked me why, I replied,



"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"



And that's how the fight started.....

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while

we were in bed.



I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?'



'No,' she answered. I then said,



'Is that your final answer?'



She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'



So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."



And that's when the fight started...



________________________________





I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.



"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."



He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"



"Nah, she can order for herself."



And that's when the fight started.....



_______________________________





My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school

reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his

drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.



I asked her, "Do you know him?"



"Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking

right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since."



"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"



And then the fight started...



________________________________





When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting

to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had

something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat,

making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she

thought of a clever way to make her point.



When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall

grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing

scissors.. I watched silently for a short time and then went into

the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again

I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the

grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."



The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.



______________________________





My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.



She asked, "What's on TV?"



I said, "Dust."



And then the fight started...



________________________________





Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my

lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the

boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential

downpour. The wind was blowing 50mph, so I pulled back into the

garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather

would be bad all day.



I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back

into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different

anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."



My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my

stupid husband is out fishing in that?"



And that's how the fight started...



_______________________________





My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.



She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."



I bought her a bathroom scale.



And then the fight started.......



______________________________





After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.



The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.



I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at

home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have

to go home and come back later.



The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.



So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.



She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for

me' and she processed my Social Security application.



When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at

the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped

your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'



And then the fight started...



________________________________





My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,



"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you

to pay me a compliment.'



I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."



And then the fight started........



________________________________





I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!



The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!



He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'



So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'



That's how the fight started.

Kilroy Was Here

There was one person who led or participated in every combat, training or occupation operation during WWII and the Korean War. This person could always be depended on. GI's began to consider him the "super GI." He was one who always got there first or who was always there when they left. I am, of course, referring to Kilroy Was Here. Somehow, this simple graffiti captured the imagination of GI's everywhere they went. The scribbled cartoon face and words showed up everywhere - worldwide. Stories (some even true) abound..There are some images that stay with you all your life this is one I have grown old with.He an I have been around  a few years.

Marty Robbins Sings 'An Evening Prayer.'

Never squat while wearing your spurs"

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the

greatest political sages this country has ever known.



Some of his sayings:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.



2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.



3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.

Neither works.



4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.



5. Always drink upstream from the herd.



6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.



7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it

and put it back into your pocket.



8. There are three kinds of men:

The ones that learn by reading.

The few who learn by observation.

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence

and find out for themselves.



9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from

bad judgment.



10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and

then to make sure it's still there.



11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.



12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started

roaring.

He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.





ABOUT GROWING OLDER...



First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying

about your age and start bragging about it.



Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.



Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.

Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way.

I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.



Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,

think of Algebra.



Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.



Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.



Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging

is that it's such a nice change from being young.



Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.



Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.



Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,

it was called witchcraft.

Today it's called golf.



And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,

you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

JUST A FACT

  When God created man's heads he created very few perfect heads an on all the others he put hair .All so God gave men two heads But he fell to put enough blood in some  men  for both heads to function properly at the same time.Out of this pool is where we get all our politicians

Between The Lines

I just apoligized to a blogger for a comment I made .I have never made a comment to intentially offend anyone.With that said now I do see humor in a lot of things I read an see.I guess I watched Benny Hill  an read the Bible to much.I know not everyone sees humor in things that I do, with all due respect all I have to say to them is learn to read between the lines.While removing that site from from my list that I following I ran into a new one that looks most interesting.

SCOTTISH WISDOM

Five pearls of Scottish wisdom to remember




1. Money cannot buy happiness but somehow, it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes Benz than it is on a bicycle.



2. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard’s name.



3. Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.



4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.



5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then neither does milk.

NEW DEAL

The New Deal was a series of economic programs implemented in the United States between 1933 and 1936. They were passed by the U.S. Congress during the first term of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The programs were responses to the Great Depression, and focused on what historians call the "3 Rs": relief, recovery, and reform. That is, Relief for the unemployed and poor; Recovery of the economy to normal levels; and Reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression..Time for the U.S. Congress to reenact the "3Rs
