Let’s take a minute and take a walk down memory lane to a time of innocence and honor – before “smart” phones and computer chips, Blue Rays and NanoTech. Let’s listen to Mr. Will Rogers.
Timeless!!
“Never squat while wearing your spurs”
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the
greatest political sages this country has ever known.
Some of his sayings:
1. Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.
Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it
and put it back into your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
1. If you’re riding’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then
to make sure it’s still there.
11. Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
ABOUT GROWING OLDER̷
First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying
about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me; I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way.
I’ve traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren’t paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,
think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth ~ I don’t know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it’s such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,
it was called witchcraft.
Today it’s called golf.
And, finally ~ If you don’t learn to laugh at trouble,
you won’t have anything to laugh at when you’re old.

Great read, thanks for the humorous wisdom.
You have to give a tube radio at least 2 to 3 minutes just
to warm up and then you decide what frequency you want to be on and load the plate and
tune them up. Next, build a list of prospects
and develop a relationship with those prospects on your list.
But mostly BBC Radios 4 and 5 because, being speech orientated, they’re more like what I do, so I can learn lots from them.
I have interviewed a few parents to attempt to understand what their true objection is with their child playing
video games. Leveling up to defeat all the enemies can be time arresting so apprehend to absorb a acceptable bulk of hours anniversary day accepting the a
lot of out of this game. The nature of Reddit’s platform makes it possible — through great and creative effort, it appears — to give users a gift of the unexpected, rather than deriving humor from humiliation.
