Happy New Year
Happy New Year, everyone! Well, we're a few days late, but nevertheless still fresh with our intentions of an even better year. What resolutions do you have, if any? Here is one that you may enjoy:
Dear God,
My prayer for 2012 is for
A big bank account & a thin body.
Please don't mix these up like you did last year.
AMEN!

Men and Shopping
Hope you're in the mood for a few chuckles.
BANNED FROM WAL-MART...
This is why women should not take men shopping against their will.
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in a nd get out. Equally unfortunately, my wife is like most women - she loved to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Wal-Mart:
Dear Mrs. Gilbert
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Gilbert are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras .
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4 July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares... Get on it right away.'
5.. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7.. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through yelled, 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed, 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least...
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'
Sincerely,
Wal-Mart

Baby Boomer Humor
(Ok, it's not really that humorous:)
I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1966.
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. well darn!
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. oh no - not again!
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." and I just hate that!
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh No!
IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS."
Hmmm......Have I already sent this to you?
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! that too!
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. yep!
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. DUH!
Symptoms:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. done that!

Last Minute Handmade / Handcrafted Christmas Gifts
Having fun at the malls yet? Lest you think that it is too late to order gifts online, I'm here to tell you that it is not. We use USPS Express shipping for those last minute gifts. It's a mere $16.00 and it can save you a trip to that car-infested mall that you've been dreading. Besides, shopping in your pajamas is a lot more fun & comfortable than shopping with crowds full of frantic people:)

The Other Bedtime Prayer
I came across this and had to share it with you (thanks Jerilynne). Happy Monday Everyone!!
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
Please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, Please no gray
And as for my belly, take it away.
Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you've done.

And as for my belly, take it away.

Post Baby Boomers
Interesting baby news lately (no not me - three is enough thank you), US birth rates are the highest since the early 1960's (baby boomer era), an average of 2.1 per woman. The economic impact of this is highly desirable in industrialized countries because "it means a country is producing enough young people to replace and support aging workers." (Stein, Washington Post 2007). With the boomer generation retiring, there is and will continue to be the need to fill their positions.
"This is a noteworthy event," said John Bongaarts of the Population Council, a New York-based think tank. "This is a sign of demographic health. Many countries would like to be at this level." (Stein, Washington Post 2007).
So what does that mean for us? Well, hopefully, it will keep us busy with our Grandma and Mommy Jewelry:)
