_DEMENTIA_

ARE WE THE ONES WITH DEMENTIA?

ARE WE THE ONES WHO ARE AGING?

ONE
Recently, I went to McDonald's and I saw on the menu that you could have
an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.

I asked for a half dozen nuggets.

'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.

'You don't?' I replied.

'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.

'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'

'That's right.'

So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets

(Unbelievable but sadly true...)

(Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they
didn't have any, only Splenda and sugar.)

(And they think they are worth $15.00 per hour)

TWO
I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the
lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine.

_I picked up one of those dividers that they keep by the cash register
and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. _

_After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the divider,
looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it._

Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this
is?'

I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'


She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.

She had no clue to what had just happened.

(But the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left)

THREE
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her _DVD_ _drive and
pulling it out very quickly._

_When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on
the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was
using the ATM thingy._

_(Keep shuddering!!)_

FOUR

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.

'Do you need some help?' I asked.

She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote
door un-locker.

_Now I can't get into my car. _

_Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have
a battery to fit this?'_

Hmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.

'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered,handing it and the car keys
to me.

As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't
you drive over there and check about the batteries.

_It's a long walk....'_

PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift.

_One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost
out of typing paper. _

_What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary
told her. _

_With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put
it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies._

_Brunette, by the way!!_

SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to
take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants.

The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be
fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'

Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right now!'

Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too.

Don't laugh....it is all true...





Perks of being over 60 and heading towards 70!

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

4. People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"

5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won't wear out.

8. You can eat supper at 5 PM.

9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the
room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won't get much worse.

15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.


16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national
weather service.

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember
them either.

18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

19. You can't remember who sent you this list.

20. And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on
the same night!
 
I found those funny, even if someone made them up.

Anyone see Los Angeles just made minimum wage an eventual climb to $15.00/hour, over several years? What is going to happen to prices? Sorry, if you're unhappy with your wages , go back to school, complete it if you dropped out, or learn a trade. Just because you want a job, you're not worth $31,200/year ($15 X 40 hours a week X 52 weeks).

Thats some funny sht. .funny sad..not so much funny haha.

Scary.
 
I feel like I just did 100 crunches after I settlling back into a chuckle. The key remote thing I experienced several times when I was a tow truck operator. Some people are a shocking combination of rude, stupid, careless, mean and entitled. Im probably a little cynical after having lived on the West coast for so many years and I still wonder how a well educated person can still be an idiot. I came back to the Midwest where I can at least enjoy some elbow room. Its now easier to unwind and recall all the awesome cultures and great folks I have had the good fortune to meet. I have been able to open my mind and become less of an idiot myself haha.

The best way I found to cope with the stupid problem is to find humor in it, from a distance.

I should add that im a geriatric nurse now and find it a whole lot easier to like people.
