Brooklyn Buddy, Vivia, asked me if I had seen the
current AARP Magazine as Tom Selleck was on the cover....No, I do not belong,
but did research and found it..
She asked because she knew I am a HUGE Blue
Bloods fan, due to Tom being the object of my puppy love of famous handsome
movie stars.... starting when he was on Magnum, P.I.

This came from La Crescenta pal, Erika... too
funny!
THE DEBT CEILING
I love it when a complicated situation can be
explained in such simple terms!
*Democrats don't understand THE DEBT
CEILING
*Republicans don't understand THE DEBT
CEILING
*Liberals don't understand THE DEBT
CEILING
*NO ONE understands THE DEBT CEILING
*SO, allow me to explain...
Let's say you come home and find there has been a
sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way to your
ceiling.
What do you think you should do --
1. raise the ceiling, or
2. pump out the crap?

November 11th.
Veterans's
Day honors all members of the Armed Forces who who served this country
valiantly, and in a very big way. They served and fought to protect us, to keep
our country safe, and to preserve our way of life. Veterans gave their time, and
risked their lives for you and me. In some cases, they made the ultimate
sacrifice.
This
holiday originally was called Armistice Day and was first celebrated in 1921. In
1954, President Eisenhower changed it to Veteran's Day, in honor of those who
served and died from all wars.
On
November 11 at 11:11, 1921 the U.S. France and England each buried an unknown
soldier in honor of those who died in World War I. This began the annual
Armistice Day holiday. The time and day was picked because fighting ceased in
WWI in 1918 on November 11 at 11:11. In keeping with this tradition, work stops
on this day and time each year for a moment of
silence.
