The average age of people living in our military retirement community is 85. Recently, a neighbor turned 100, and a big birthday party was thrown. Even his son turned up.
“How old is your son?” a tenant asked.
“He's 81 years old,” he answered.
The tenant shook her head. “They sure grow up fast, don’t they?”

As the hostess at the casino buffet showed me to my table, I asked her to keep an eye out for my husband, who would be joining me momentarily. I started to describe him: “He has gray hair, wears glasses, has a potbelly …”
She stopped me there. “Honey,” she said, “today is senior day. They all look like that.”

“Poor Old fool,” thought the well-dressed gentleman as he watched an old man fish in a puddle outside a pub. So he invited the old man inside for a drink. As they sipped their whiskeys, the gentleman thought he’d humor the old man and asked, “So how many have you caught today?”
The old man replied, “You’re the eighth.”

Good morning everyboomie.
Welcome to the weekend!
Here's a positive note for retail employees, and for shoppers as well. Many malls, and large retailers are staying closed on Thanksgiving this year. They've decided something most of us already knew. Opening on Thanksgiving was a turkey of an idea to begin with.
They think now that it's a good idea to give employees the time with their families, and to shift sales focus back to Black Friday.
How about that! The nasty letter I wrote did some good.
Of course it's a little bit late now that
I'M RETIRED!!! Good for my friends though, that are still in retail. I hope that all companies do away with their ridiculous early opening plans. Retail associates deserve a break.
I'll bet you though that Walmart, who started all this early shopping hours business, does not follow suit, and still opens on Thanksgiving.
I hope they have some great door buster deals.
Have a happy day everyone.
