Welcome back to Todays World. Sorry for being so slow in getting this to you (if you care). Today we have Joys of Getting Old, Language difficulties and Polar Bears: ENJOY

GETTING OLD: WHAT A GIFT!!!
The body may not be what it used to be: wrinkles, baggy eyes and sagging butt. But
As I've aged, I have become more kind to myself and less critical of myself; I have become my friend.

I don’t chide myself for eating that extra cookie and for not making my bed. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy and to be extravagant.
I have seen many friends leave this world before they were able to enjoy the great freedom that comes with growing old.
It’s nobody’s business if I choose to watch a movie or mess with my computer at 4:00 A.M. or sleep until noon.
I know that sometimes (more & more) I am forgetful; sometimes it is just a well as parts of our lives are forgotten, and I will eventually remember the important things.
My hair is gray, my face has wrinkles (many of them laugh wrinkles), and the older I get, the less I care what others think of me.
As you get older, it seems easier to be positive; I like being old: it has set me free;
I understand that I am not going to live forever, but that is ok because now I am free, I and like the person I have become. I will not waste time lamenting what could have been or worry about what is to come, and I will eat dessert every single day if I feel like it.
Thanks to Maryann of Oakland for the above.

I DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH!
A non-English speaking woman married a man in the US of A; She went to the butcher needing chicken legs and was unable to communicate with him until she thought to cluck like a chicken and raised her dress a little to show her legs. The butcher got the idea and wrapped up chicken legs for her.
A couple of days later, she needed chicken breasts. Again she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse. The butcher got the idea, and she got the chicken breasts.
A couple of days later, she wanted some saugages, so she brought her husband with her.
You can again thank Maryann for that one; don’t blame me.

Ageless Humor

May 27th 2008 23:49

Hello from Todays World: I hope it's as beautiful where you are as it is here.
This day's column is written because of the sense of humor of my good compadre Scott in Oakland, and his kindness to send it to me.
AGELESS WIT AND OBSERVATIONS: QUOTATIONS by Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, Douglas Casey, P. J. O"Rourke, Frederic Bastiat, Ronald Reagan, Will Rogers, Voltaire, Pericles, unknowns, Herbert Spencer, Edward Langley AND Thomas : Great stuff; I hope you enjoy this as I did at this end:

Mark Twain

Mark Twain: "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.”
“Suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were a member of Congress... But then I repeat myself.”
“No man’s life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.”
“The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.”
“There is no distinctly Native American criminal class... save Congress.”

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill: “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”
George Bernard Shaw: “ A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
Douglas Casey: Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.”
P.J. O’Rourke: Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.”
Frederic Bastiat: “Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”
Ronald Reagan: “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it; If it keeps moving, regulate it; and if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
“The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.”

Will Rogers

Will Rogers: “I don’t make jokes...I just watch the government and report the facts.”
Voltaire: In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.”
Pericles: “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you!”
Unknown: “Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.”
Herbert Spencer: The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.”
Edward Langley: “What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.”
And finally...

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”
All of the above quotations were provided to me by Scott of Oakland; I can’t thank you enough Scott. That’s all for Todays World, folks – See you next time
