Are You Skinny Dipping or Streaking?, 2 Birthday’s and How Old Is Grandpa?

Well I suppose this fits! Well Yeah, it does!


You Are Streaking


You are a total wild child, and you let it all hang out. There’s nothing shy about you.
You’ll do anything for a laugh or for attention. You love it when all eyes are on you.

You are quite daring, and you love the rush of trying a new stunt. You are addicted to feeling your heart race.
You may not think you have it in you to go streaking… but deep down, you really do!

Shhhhh we have to be quiet about this one. So you all come close. Come very close. I will have to whisper this in your ear. Good! Now this is just between us so don’t say a word. Juliana at Scabiosa Trenta is having a birthday today. I hope she has a wonderful day and has many many more. She is a wonderful dear friend and I send her my love. Now don’t say anything now. It’s just our secret but I just wanted to tell you all this and say Happy Birthday Juliana. Shhhhhh!!!!

HOW OLD IS GRANDPA?

Stay with this — the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.

One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.

The Grandfather replied, “Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, frisbees and the pill. There were no: credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens. Man had not invented: pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and man hadn’t yet walked on the moon.

Your Grandmother and I got married first….and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother. Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, “Sir”. And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, “Sir.” We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege. We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.

We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President’s speeches on our radios. And I don’t ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. If you saw anything with ‘Made in Japan’ on it, it was junk. The term ‘making out’ referred to how you did on your school exam. Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents. Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel. And if you didn’t want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600…but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

In my day: “grass” was mowed, “coke” was a cold drink, “pot” was something your mother cooked in and “rock music” was your grandmother’s lullaby. “Aids” were helpers in the Principal’s office, “chip” meant a piece of wood, “hardware” was found in a hardware store and “software” wasn’t even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.

Are you ready ?????

This man would be only 59 years old.

Hey, it’s only my opinoin.

  1. I’m Steaking too!

    Happy Birthday to Renee. :)

  2. Happy Birthday Renee!

    Happy Birthday Juliana!

    RnPB: Ch 013 – Clean Up

  3. Just 59? How come? I was guessing between 90 and 95 :-)

    Hapy birthday Juliana. Happy birthday Renee.

  4. Happy birthday to Renee and Juliana! Wishing both a lot of joy and blessings as they step into another year :)

    My quiz result:

    You Are Skinny Dipping

    You are a fairly conservative, down to earth person. You aren’t known for making trouble.
    That being said, you can be a little mischievous at times. You have a bit of a wild streak!

    You have probably been accused of being a flirt or a tease – and you’re guilty as charged.
    You are naturally quite playful and coy. You’re mostly sugar, but you’re also a little spice.

    What a shocking age of Grandpa. So, there has been a lot going on lately… But why do I miss some of the old days :) .

    xoxoxo

    • Thank you my friend. I don’t picture you as being a flirt or a tease…hmmm I’m there with you about the gold old days. There’s something just fantastic about them.

  5. Happy Birthday Renee!

    (Psst, Thom, can I pleeeease say Happy Birthday to Juliana too –although I know it’s a secret??)

    “Grandad” is an amazing story. Amazing what we take for granted, when it all happened in such a short time! My grandmother could remember seeing her first ever *car*; she was born in 1897 and when she was little the streets carried a trolley and lots of horses. When I was little, I thought I’d be visiting Mars one day ROFL.

    • Thanks and you are keeping it a secret You? pffft How cool about your Grandmother. You sure your weren’t poised and wanting to Probe Uranus? The opening was there and I just had to take it. ENERGIZE LOL

      • Well if we’re probing Uranus Thom, I do *hope* there’s an opening there. Otherwise you’re in a shitload of trouble!

        Shall I send Hifu the Boobsquid to help find it for you??

        • ROFLMAO!!! That is true there. Shit is as shit does I suppose. YIKES!!!
          When you send Hifu and Boobsquid just make sure to bring the hanging bra would ya. We might need it to snap some shit out of our probing Uranus LOL

  6. Yeah I can believe he was 59. I had a friend send me one of those lists for my “generation” It had things like 8 track player, candy cigarettes viny records (which I’m told is coming back into style LOL)

  7. I guess I’m still ‘old world’ then, ’cause I think a woman needs a husband first before a child comes into the world. LOL

    Loved going back in time today.

    Now I gotta go see just what I am. You know you have me addicted to these blog quizzes don’t you? LOL I’ll probably STREAK by.

    Happy birthday to you S I L!!

    PS….I’m a total WILD Child! Hooray, ’cause I’m not a swimmer…I couldn’t and wouldn’t go skinny dipping unless the water went up to my knees only.

    • ROFLMAO!! Only to your knees that is just a riot. I love the good old days myself. And I’m so with you on a woman needs a husband first just as a husband needs a wife first. Call me old fashion but what the hell LOL

  8. Happy birthday to your loved ones!

    I’m skinny dipping all the way, baby! Although skinny might be fudging things by… a lot.

  9. love the lovely cars I so love vintage

  10. Post it now!

    Sylvia

    • Mahalo PhQB. You are the bomb and a great Streaking buddy LOL. Your killing me here with laughter about the dinosaur comment LOL Too funny. Have a great day :)

  18. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD… RENEE… she is a lovely, wonderful, giving, sweet girl and i love her dearly….

  19. I took the quiz, but I could have already told you that I am Streaking. With 5 kids and 4 adults in a house with only one bathroom, modesty stands no chance of survival.

    Loved the story — most of it related to me, even and I’m not ev en close to 59 years old.

    Happy Birthday to Renee, Juliana, and Polona! I hope they have wonderful days.

    • I hear ya Q. I’m so with you in relating to it and I’m closer to 59 than you are LOL :) I would agree with just one bathroom modesty knew no boundaries. Mahalo for your birthday wishes :)

  20. I’m Skinny Dipping!

  21. Oh, and in case you didn’t already know, I am a WILD child. Always have been. Always will be.

  22. Here’s mine, and it was surprisingly accurate!! I couldn’t answer the last question, since I would either jump in (no cannonball) or walk down the steps (much more likely) into the pool.

    Cuz I’m sure as heck NOT streeeeeaking!!! LOL!

    Thank God he was 59! I was starting to think he only had to be 53!

  24. I’m a whimppy skinny dipper. I want a better quiz tomorrow. :)

  25. Are you sure of 59yrs old? It doesn’t look like 59 yrs old. It looks like more vintage.. I mean the cars ok.. not you.. enjoy…

  26. Only 59??? My dad was born before all of that??? Crazy!!!
