My Twilight Years
As I approach my twilight years, I am struck by the inevitability that the party must end.

And one clear, cold morning after I'm gone, my spouse will awaken in the warmth of our bedroom and be struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."

No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, or say "I love you."

So while we have it, it’s best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage. And old cars, children with bad report cards, dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents.

We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a son-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special. And so, we keep them close!

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know how you really feel?

The important thing is to let everyone of your friends know your true feelings, even if you think they don't love you back.

So, just in case I'm gone tomorrow, please rest assured I voted against that incompetent, lying, Muslim loving, perverted, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific & economic moron, socialist piece of s- - - , Obama.

How sad your osessive hatred ruined an otherwise good message.

I feel sorry for anyone going to their grave wasting their thoughts on politics.

The best jokes are the ones where the punch line comes completely out of left field and catch the listener unaware.

I don't see hatred here, but a fantastic sense of humor.

It matters little what his political slant may be he is just telling it how he sees it.

And it's too bad that some cannot just see humor and leave out party affiliations for once.

A similar joke that surprises and confuses folks is to go up to a guy and state " I know a close friend of yours that is gay" He'll say "NO, I don't have any gay friends or something similar" but will always end up asking "But who is it ?"

Then you answer " Kiss me and I'll tell you"

Surprise, shock, silence. Then you just walk away.
