Humour For A Monday Morning

Bit of humour for a Monday Morning

After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said ……. “Forty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.  Now … I have a $500,000.00 home , a $35,000.00 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 63-year-old woman.  It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”

 

My wife is a very reasonable woman.  She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.

Spraying Herbicides Across Nippising and Surrounding Areas.

You know, things like this sure stick in my craw.  When so many folks are getting sick these days with all the poision’s that is on and in our food it seems now that this isn’t enough, as now they have to go out and spray areas across Nippising with herbisides.  Meaning it is a herbicide, commonly known as a weedkiller, is a type of pesticide used to kill unwanted plants.  Now think about this for a second.  For the sake of a few unwanted plants they will cover different areas by plane which will kill more than what is wanted to be sure and then eventually get into our  ground water and yes we drink it.  Also what about all those folks that like to deal with nature at its source.  Making their own medicines and things like that.  All plants will be covered with this herbicide so now it isn’t safe for anyone to go collecting for their medicine cabinet or for that matter items they enjoy eating.  Crazy is my way of thinking and it should be stopped.   But will that happen, not likely, as folks today don’t seem to mind. They rely on modern technology and honestly believe that all these pesticides and things are ok to use and to eat.  Along with that, the huge corporations that make these chemicals spend millions  of dollars a year advertising how good it is and we couldn’t survive with out it.  They have in my mind corrupted folks minds and in doing so we will all pay dearly, or should say we are already paying dearly.  Well, I had my say, as usual my opinion only.  Click Article below to enlarge so you can read it.  Oh and one last thing.  Another thing that really got me going was all the plants and things they have sprayed along Highway 522 coming in from Highway 69.  Looks like a dead zone out there now.  For the sake of spending a few extra dollars and just cutting it down every so many years now they cover the land with herbicides, probably Roundup.  Eventually this too will get into our lakes, streams, and drinking water, as most are all on wells.  Doesn’t seem to matter though, they keep on doing it.  I often wonder who comes up with this crazy thinking.  For sure they don’t have a home or well right next to where they are spraying you can bet on that.  If they do, well…..lets just say, that would be par for the course and explain a lot.  Again Click Article to enlarge.

How It Really Was Like, Many Years Ago

In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.
The woman apologized to him and explained, “We didn’t have the green thing back in my day.”

The clerk responded, “That’s our problem today.  Your generation did not care enough to save our environment.”
He was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over.  So they really were recycled.
But we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn’t have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throw-away kind.  We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts — wind and solar power really did dry the clothes.  Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right; we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.   

In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us.   

When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. 

Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.  We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she’s right; we didn’t have the green thing back then. 

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. 

We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn’t have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. 

We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.  And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the green thing back then?

Milk GMO Food What’s Next

A glass of milk can contain a cocktail of up to 20 painkillers, antibiotics and growth hormones, scientists have shown.

Using a highly sensitive test, they found a host of chemicals used to treat illnesses in animals and people in samples of cow, goat and human breast milk.

Just what I been saying now for the past twenty years.  We are what we eat.   That is why so many of us are getting sick, as what they feed the cattle, chickens, everything, then we eat them and all them poisons go into our body.   Simple process but very deadly over time.  And now with with this GMO food they are putting on the market, with more to come as they are doing the same with nature.  We keep playing with nature and changing it’s DNA and things like that, we are looking at a very serious problem let me tell you.  As it stands plants and things are having a hard enough time as it is. You start playing around with their genetic being they won’t know what to do and I wouldn’t hesitate in saying they could be the next superior race, a whole mess of plants loaded with drugs.  Sounds far fetched?  Well it isn’t, it is already happening with our wheat and other things they have tampered with. They have injected it with all kinds of things, loaded it with pesticides.    You are the only ones that can stop this, so speak out when some one mentions GMO food.  The more that are against it the better the chance we have in straightening things out.  My Opinion Only.

Alcohol & Cancer

How much alcohol is REALLY safe? None, say cancer specialists in today’s news.

Well……I can’t let this one get away with out a word of how I feel. Kind of figure they had their say, now I am entitled to mine. Right? OK then.  If the truth be known through my eyes having a drink or two a day of a nice fine brandy or any other kind of drink wouldn’t hurt anyone, or at the very least cause cancer. Years ago it was made quite differently though, without the toxic chemicals they use today. I would believe that a good home made wine would be of an asset to ones body, keeping in mind moderation of course.  I am no doctor that is for sure, but the truth is right in front of them.   The truth is that it’s not the drink that causes cancer, it is what the drinks are made up of.  Which is pesticides of all kinds, chlorine for cleaners, fungicides, antibiotics,  just too many to name, same goes for food.   We today believe that treating folks and an feeding folks poisons is ok, it is accepted in our society.   That is the bottom line, simple as that.  Just had to put in my two cents here.  My Opinion Only
