Sip & Surf Sunday - 06/29/14 04:42 AM

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're Drunk When

Signs that you are too drunk would be...


You lose arguments with inanimate objects.
You have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling off the earth.
Job interfering with your drinking.
Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream.
Career won't progress beyond Senator of Massachusetts.
The back of your head keeps getting hit by the toilet seat.
Sincerely believe alcohol to be the elusive 5th food group.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case - coincidence?? - I think not!
Two hands and just one mouth... - now THAT'S a drinking problem!
You can focus better with one eye closed.
The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar.
Your twin sons are named Barley and Hops.
Hey, 5 beers has just as many calories as a burger, screw dinner!
Mosquitoes catch a buzz after attacking you
At AA meetings you begin: "Hi, my name is... uh..."
Your idea of cutting back is less salt.
You wake up in the bedroom, your underwear is in the bathroom, you fell asleep clothed. - hmmm.
The whole bar says 'Hi' when you come in...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


You Know You're In Trouble When...


...Your accountants letter of resignation is postmarked Zurich.

...Your suggestion box starts ticking.

...Your secretary tells you the FBI is on line 1, the DA is on line 2, and CBS is on line 3.

...The simple instructions enclosed aren't.

...People send your wife sympathy cards on your anniversary.

...You see your wife and your girlfriend having lunch together.

...The plumber floats by on your kitchen table.

...You make more than you ever made, owe more than you ever owed, and have less than you've ever had.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



You know you're old, when your mind and body aren't what they used to be. Did the fine print shrink? (This is called bifocals denial.) Do your knees buckle, but your belt won't? Have your beauty marks sprouted hair? Does the gleam in your eyes comes from the sun hitting your bifocals? Do your joints sound like Rice Crispies ... snap, crackle, pop? Does your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.? Have you been driving along thinking about stuff, and suddenly realized that you don't remember the last 3 blocks? Has a fortune-teller offered to read your face? Does your pacemaker make the garage door go up when you watch a cute guy/gal go by? Is the little gray haired person who helps you across the street, your spouse? Do you have too much room in the house and not enough room in the medicine cabinet? Have you sunk your teeth into a steak and had them stay there? Have you quit pulling out your gray hairs, because you could end up bald? Does your back/knee go out more than you do?

Does a dripping faucet cause an uncontrollable bladder urge? Have you seen territory on the scale that no one who isn't pregnant ever wants to see? Have you searched all over the house for something and finally found it ... right where it was suppose to be? Does the idea of laying on the floor to watch TV strike you as uncomfortable? Remember when you did it all the time? Have you dialed a number and then gotten distracted? When the person you called came to the phone, you had no idea who you called or why. Do you groan a little when you bend over or get up? What doesn't hurt, doesn't work, right?

You Know You're Old, If You Remember Ancient History. Did you watch or listen to Ed Sullivan, the Brat Pack, Max Headroom, Bobby Sherman, the Mamas & the Papas, K.C. and the Sunshine Band or Captain Kangaroo? Did you once own a lot of 45s ... records, not guns? Have your children studied events in history that you lived through .... the Kennedy and King assassinations, Viet Nam, the Bi-Centennial and the first landing on the moon? Did you learn to read with Dick, Jane, Sally, Spot and Puff? At one time, did you think pong, 8-track tapes or cars with fins were cutting edge technology? Dollar a gallon gas does not strike you as THAT cheap. You can remember when if was under 50 cents a gallon and full service, too.

Did you attended school when dress codes forbid girls to wear pants to class? ( They were considered too casual.) Do you remember girdles? (UGH!) Have things you owned shown up on Antiques Road Show? Is "25 Years Ago Today" your favorite part of the newspaper? Can you remember B.C.... Before Computers? Do you remember when they programmed computers with cards? (Shuffling them would drive the programmer really nuts.) Have the fashions of your youth come back in style? Do you look bad in them the second time around? Do you remember when the first MacDonald's came to your community or the first family on the block got color TV? As a kid, did your parents buy you tennis shoes because they were cheap? Can you sing the theme song to 'Green Acres,' 'Beverly Hillbillies' or 'Gilligan's Island.' Do you remember when sit-com couples slept in double beds and no one on TV talked about sex? When you were young, did you think the world would be like the Jetsons in the year 2000?

You Know You're Old, Because Your Spirit Is Willing... But the Rest of You Wants a Nap. Do you have to do math to remember your age? (OK, it's 2002 and I was born in 1954, so I must be 48.) Do you feel like the night after, and you haven't been anywhere? Do the current heartthrobs look like young pups to you? Do you get winded going down an escalator? Have your children begun to look middle aged? Do you no longer think of speed limits as a challenge? OK, maybe a little ... Do your children refer to your friends as 'the old ladies' and other equally depressing things? Do you regret resisting temptation? After painting the town red, do you have to rest a while before applying a second coat? Does dialing long distance wear you out? Have you found that you can't stand people who are intolerant? Is the best part of your day over when your alarm clock goes off?

Do you burn the midnight oil until 9 pm? Do you shop for comfortable shoes rather than cool ones? Have you told your children all rap music sounds the same? (Remember when you parents said that about your music?) Do you know what your company retirement plan is? Does it take twice as long to look half as good? Do you still chase members of the opposite sex, but you can't remember why? Does your mind makes contracts that your body can't keep? Do you look forward to a dull evening? Do you walk with your head high' trying to get used to your bifocals? Do you turn out the light for economic reasons rather than romantic ones? Have you sung along with the elevator music? (When the music of the 60's and 70's is played by 101 Strings in the elevator, it's just sad.) Have you been window shopping ( NOT talking about clothes here) and seen a fine looking member of the opposite sex? Then it dawns on you. They're young enough to be your kid. ( Men are not bothered by this, but it creeps me out.) Have you heard yourself say things that your parents always said ... and you hated? And finally... there is always having the worst of both worlds with zits and gray hair at the same time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


You're so poor...

If your father didn't cut holes in your pockets at Christmas, you wouldn't have anything to play with.

People from the church would run over animals in front of your house to help with food.

Beggars give you money.

Someone saw you kicking a can down the street, and when asked what they were doing you said, "moving".

If they had 10 cent boat rides down the river, all you could do is run down the bank hollering "That's real cheap!"

You can't afford to pay attention

A guy walked into your house, stepped on a cigarette and your mom yelled, "Who turned off the heat?"

Your parents got married for the rice.

I saw your mom walking down the street with one shoe, I said, "Hey, you lost a shoe." she said, "No, I found one."

When you asked what was for dinner your mom put her foot on the table and said corn.

You live in a 2 story cracker jack box.

Someone rang your doorbell and you had to yell "Ding Dong!" out the window.

When someone asks where the bathroom is, your mom says "pick a corner... any corner."

You're so poor your mother couldn't afford to have you...the lady next door had you.

You go to KFC and lick other peoples fingers.

You buy an imitation of a fake Rolex.

Burglars bring things to you.

Super Sunday ya'll puppy

Son woke up with a very icky back. Missed daughter this morning. She was off-line by the time I got up. Maybe I'll catch her tonight. Poor thing, last time we chatted while she got ready for work in the morning while the boys entertained her over my shoulder. lol

I am planning as quiet a day as I can manage. Boys are here, so not sure how quiet that will be. Off to AU tomorrow for Seagy's chemo.

Joe, we are forecast for high 90's with the heat index in the 100's all week. Summer is well and truly here.

Ana, hope the corner is fun.

Haroula, how are the family?

Gerry, thanks for the coffee.

Venus, happy whooshing!

connie, happy shoppity shopping wave

Space, what are you up to today?

Nan, I hope you get some sun today.

Manx wave

Joe, you must have very tired fingers after that 'book' of OLD jokes. Loved them Sending them on to my Sister. She's older than me. Ha.

No Penelope Peacock yet this morning. She's not an 'early bird' I guess. Found out after buying blueberries, because they were cheaper than the grapes, that she like blueberries. Nice.

All Outdoorsies present and accounted for. No raccoons last night. Clear water dish is a nice thing.

Wow, blueberries cheaper than grapes? I wish! puppy
Posted By: Sorta Blonde

Re: Sip & Surf Sunday - 06/29/14 07:15 PM

Yep L4L, they were a dollar cheaper. Amazing I know. Fresh, yummy blueberries. Penelope won't get them all. I'm planning to make some fresh blueberry muffins for ME.

Good afternoon boomies! It's been and day of ups and downs with my neighbor but it ended on a positive note so I am happy. Some people have a lot of sadness in their lives and it feels good to be a part a lifting some of it away for them. hearts

I ran the dogs and I am back in the corner. It's a gorgeous hot day out there and wish I could stay outside but I am back at my desk. Life is good.

Nan, I just saw there are tornadoes down around Dodgeville. That's a place dear to my heart, I hope no major damage is occurring.
Stay safe!
