DANCIN' AND PRANCIN'

TURN UP THE SOUND!!!!!!!!!AND LET'S GET DOWN

Margot and I went dancing at the senior DANCE HALL......................YAHOO!!!!!


Each one of you, reading this blog have touched our lives, one way or another. Either individually or as  a couple.  I sincerely have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy bringing you, my life of days gone by, present days and how I view the future.  I hope you stay on line with me.

For me, it seems that my life is getting shorter.

The days are just not as long as they use to be. (less daylight)  Margot keeps saying not to worry..........it's just standard time we are on now...................but I think there is more involved.  She also tells me it will get better in the spring when we move our clocks forward................but  I'm not really sure that will work either.   Seems we went through that last summer but for some reason I always missed the 7th inning stretch along with the 8th and 9th innings of the games.   The eyelids just seem to close early regardless of what time of the year it is.

Now that it's dark at 4:30PM  I just seem to automatically curl up on the couch and miss the next 6 hours of the day before Margot tells me it's time to go to bed. OOOOHHHHH   where does the time go.

A friend of mine sent this video out to me and after watching it I discovered there was so much more to stay awake for.  It brought back memories of days gone by................when some of my moves.........were just as impressive.      Start it up and think back, my friends, to those days of the JIVE.!!! 

IT MAY TAKE A MOMENT TO START......................AFTER ALL      WE ARE OLD!!

IS WHAT YOU HEAR..........ALWAYS TRUE????

I'm really reaching the point where I am getting fed up with the BS happening in Government.

People just flapping off where apparently they are not checking things out,  then calling the system corrupt or broken. Now, I'm giving reference to firstly our dysfunctioned leaders in Congress, then to the "followers" that they have that are just flat out ignorant.   Yes, my friends, you are entitled to YOUR opinion as I am to mine.................but for the sake of a half of a brain.................take the time to check out what is being said before you jump out of your skin.  One thing is this controversy on illegals collecting social security.  Here is the scoop on that!!!!!!   


Q.    Is it true that some people are collecting Social Security benefits who never paid into the system?

A.   Social Security is an earned benefit. In order to collect a retirement benefit, a worker must pay into the system for at least 10 years. In some cases, nonworking family members, such as a spouse, may be eligible for benefits based on the worker's record. Tough rules in place assure that only legal residents can collect Social Security benefits.

Now, if you know or have absolute proof of any case.......then perhaps you are the problem by not reporting it.  Take this one step further.  If you are aware of your next door neighbor.....or a relative of yours  still  collecting social security of a dead relative you should also be hung and charged for a crime.  Don't be a complete jerk and complain about one case and not another. Here is more to read about that.

DE  BATE     OR    NOT   DE   BATE!!!!

So far, I have listened to ..................oh...................perhaps half of the Republican debates.   As far as I am concerned,  listening to the same stuff just proves ..................that only one debate is necessary.    If you listen.................closely...................you will never hear an answer to the question.  This would never go over in "Judge Judy's" court.  Rick even went to the extent to say to the moderator.   "You ask your question, I will answer it my way"    I simply cannot understand ...............why a supposedly smart person..................takes 15 minutes to answer a question.  I remember doing this in high school.......................but..................in my defense it was because I did not study and did not know the answer..............so I went 3 blocks further around the question to try and say something to make it sound like I had opened up the book.  Now , these politicians are doing the same to us .  Only thing is there are a lot of people that are thinking that same way.

The other thing that really gets me going is when our politicians begin this crappola about, "It's not in the constitution"    Have you ever really listened to their interpretation to some of what's in the constitution?    It's absolutely mind boggling to hear their thoughts about that. 

Listening to these 8 potential Republican candidates and what they are promising to do if........elected President....................makes me shutter with laughter.......................and there's a lot of me..................... to shutter, then again it does open up the possibility of the Democrats to use their....................."""".liar, liar..................your pants ARE ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!""" when they finally realize....................they have not got it done.

Get with it folks,  you had better begin thinking out things for yourself...................if you depend on our leaders to do your thinking .................your going down..................

FASHION ...............AND MORE!

It wasn't long ago when I would see guys walking around with their pants down to their thighs..................I always wondered just how they could do that.  I came home one day and decided to give it a try just to see what it felt like...................didn't like it ................but found out that if I took short steps I was able to make it across the bedroom without tripping on the belt............so I decided to take the belt off.  Now, to me if it's so in style to have everyone see your underwear....why wouldn't you just wear your underwear over you pants. Hence the song
"Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground"

As one ages, you simply start to pull your pants up........until you reach the age of retirement, when you not only can cut your suspenders in half but you can give yourself a "weggie" like you never had experienced before.    AHHHH    just right!!!

Guess all ages have had their style of fashion.  I remember quite vividly, that in high school there was basically two styles of dress. If you were in with the athletes, like most of us all wanted to be, you wore chino's that were approximately 2 cuff widths off the top of the shoes........in order to show your white athletic socks.  Shoes of the day were either white bucks or the sand colored bucks better known as  "dessert boots", and a letter sweater. ( I not only lettered in basketball and baseball but also marching band.  Now there was also a group (not necessarily nerds) they were the projector guys who would wear chartreuse socks or shocking orange. Plaid cotton shirts. and always had a pen or pencil protector in their shirt pocket.
 For that "special night out"  I had a charcoal gray suit, pink shirt with a pink piece of cloth in my breast pocket and pink socks (here again the pants were 2 cuff widths short)  and my shoes were either penny loafers or tassel loafers (I still may have the tassel loafers).  I think that suit lasted me all 4 years of high school...............just goes to show you how many "special nights" I had.

After taking a shower and getting dressed this morning, I showed up at the breakfast table.  Margot looked at me kind of funny.  Here I was dressed in my very best...............purple shirt by POLO,  my green pants by  DOCKERS................underwear by .....................FRUIT OF THE LOOM.   red socks by  .....NIKE and shoes by  REEBOK        I asked Margot what her problem was..............her only response was that I looked like a walking  Ad for something.

Just checked out my closet..................I do have those tassel loafers...........................and they still fit.  At least my feet are loosing weight!!!!!
