You can blame Mike Elliott for inspiring me to post this:

Danny Glover said it best in Lethal Weapon "I'm too old for this sh*t.
I've had it with these self-righteous knuckleheads on both sides of the political/religious/social media fence who think theirs is the only true way and if you disagree you're an idiot/going to hell/or getting deported.
I'm taking another road and changing my latitude 24.5551° N, 81.7800° W (you can google it). If you've been there you'll know just what I'm talking about.
I happen to think America is a pretty damn good place as is and I'm going to spend the rest of my days being thankful for the sunrises and toasting the sunsets.

The Reunion Forum may be my favorite place on our class website for the continued humor and inspiration! Thank you to the contributors, for keeping us laughing and for inspiring us to be all we can be at any age. The best may be yet to come.

I had lunch yesterday with Pamela Neil. It had been over thirty years since I last saw her. Pamela is looking great. She is as sweet and kind as always. I had such a good time chatching up with her. I grew up across the street from her. I've known her since fourth grade. It was wonderful.

Thanks to our great Reunion Committee for getting this started and thanks to all for keeping it going. It was great to see so many last year ( 2015) Boy does time fly. Now getting visits from some of you again is a double reward. Very happy to hear that many of you have reconnected with old friends. I have been lucky enough to stay very close to Michael Leahy, he has become a true brother in life.

Just discovered! The secret to a long life:

An elderly, but hardy cattleman from Texas once told a young female neighbor that if she wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on her oatmeal each morning.

She did this religiously and lived to the age of 103. She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren and a 40-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

If anyone is interested, a few of our class members are meeting for breakfast at Keno's Restaurant at 2661 W. LaPalma Ave. near Magnolia at 9:30 AM. on Tuesday January 31st. to talk about old times. We are going to try to make this a monthly thing. Come on down the breakfasts are pretty good. Greg you posted another great reading.

Jerry, I wish I could join you and my other classmates. It is a little drive from Omaha. I wish there were more Rebels in the Omaha area and we could do the same thing. Have fun talking about "Old" times.

During these serious and troubled times, people of all faiths should remember these four great religious truths:

1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's Chosen People.

2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the

Christian world.

4. Baptists do not recognize each other at the liquor store.

GOOD SAMARITAN

A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan. She asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do ?"

A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, "I think I'd throw up."

DID NOAH FISH ?

A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?"

"No," replied Johnny. "How could he, with just two worms."

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.

On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."

UNANSWERED PRAYER

The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.

"Well, Honey," he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. "I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon."

"How come He doesn't answer it ?" she asked.

BEING THANKFUL

A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers for you each night ? That's very commendable. What does she say ?"

The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed !"

ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS

When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member,every friend,and every animal (current and past). For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say,"And all girls."

This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls ?"

Her response,"Because everybody always finish their prayers by saying 'All Men' !"

SAY A PRAYER

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. "Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer." said his mother.

"I don't need to," the boy replied.

"Of course, you do" his mother insisted. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house."

"That's at our house." Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook."

Hi Everyone,

This forum is always so lively.

Jerry, I am sorry I can't make the breakfast this morning. That sounds like fun. I have another tennis make up match from "all the rain". It is supposed to be cooler on the tennis court today. In the low 70's down from 79 yesterday. Winter in Cali.

I had a dream I saw 17 classmates at a Big Air type event. We were even participating. It must have been a combo grandpartent/senior event. Everyone looked about 70 but we were all very spry.

Enjoy your time together this morning. Please let me know how when you will meet again.

Our first breakfast at Keno's went very well. Had a great time talking old and new times. We are going to get together on Tuesday February 28th for another breakfast gathering. Come and join us. In the photo below from breakfast is, from the left, myself, Bonnie Berko Bann, Clyde Hodges, David Mathias, Linda Baldwin Smith, Linda Wonn Carpenter, Keith Bird, and Charlie Groh.

Hi everyone, you look great, so on the 28th please sing me a Happy Birthday,as I turn 70

On A completely different note, I feel some of our facebook accounts have been hacked. Recived a friends request from Barbara Cummings. Of course i accepted. Short time later a "hi how are you" then it led to her getting a Federal Grant check for $200,000 and she saw my name on the list as well. All she had to do was send in the UPS delivery fee and she said she had the money. As the conversation went on, several grammer mistakes, that I find common over here with people not understanding present / past / future uses of verbs. Plus she was pushing me to make a call to get my money as well So Barbara is this is real, I am very joyful for you, on the other hand the conversation did not sound like it was real. If any one is in contact with Barbara maybe they can verify, she recieved this windfall. Best wishes to all, hope everyone is healthy and enjoying life.

They are kinda funny to read with all their spelling, syntax errors. Recently I got a call "from Microsoft" telling me my computer called them for help. I kinda turned it around and asked "OH Boy, you're sending me a new computer"? He was not amused.
