Stages of Life

Stages of Life

 

A group of 15-year-old boys discussed where they should meet for a burger. It was agreed they would meet at the McDonald's next to Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because they only had six dollars among them, they could ride their bikes, and that cute girl in Social Studies lived on the same street and they might see her.

 

Ten years later, the group of now 25-year-old guys, discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because the beer was cheap, the bar had free snacks, the house band was good, there was no cover charge, and there were a lot of cute girls.

 

Ten years later, at 35 years of age, the group discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was decided they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because the booze was good, it was near their gym, and, if they went late enough, there wouldn't be too many whiny little kids.

 

Ten years later, at 45, the group discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because the martinis were big and the waitresses were really good looking.

 

Ten years later, now 55, the group discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because the prices were reasonable, they have a nice wine list, and fish is good for your cholesterol.

 

Ten years later, at 65 years of age, the group discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because the lighting was good and they have an early bird special.

  

Ten years later, at 75 years of age, the group discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because the food was not too spicy and the restaurant was handicapped accessible.

 

Ten years later, at 85 years of age, the group discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they would meet at Captain Jack's Seafood Grille because they had never been there before.

NEVER Stand in Line AGAIN !!!! (Secret Service Words)

You probably have seen this before, but still interesting insight, especially regarding the firing of 

Gen. Stanley McChrystal :

 

 

VERY INTERESTING & EYE-OPENING.  

 

We the people are the rightful masters of the both congress and the courts,

not to overthrow the constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the constitution.

 

GEORGE WASHINGTON

 


Subject:  NEVER Stand in Line AGAIN !!!! (Secret Service Words)


Secrets of the Secret Service
 
Very interesting but not surprising ....scroll down to read what Kessler thinks of the presidents he served 
 
 
..And now, you'll know the rest of the story.
 
 
 
HHS
 

 Interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler's book about our presidents.
 

 
 
 
 

  
 

   JOHN & JACQUELINE  KENNEDY
 

   *A philanderer of the highest  order. *
 

*She ordered the kitchen help to  save all the left-over wine during a State dinner, mixed it with fresh  wine and served again during the next White House occasion.*
 

  
 

   
 

  LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON
 

   *Another philanderer of the highest  order. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long. Both JFK  and LBJ kept a lot of women in the White House for extramarital  affairs and both had set up early warning systems to alert them if/when  their wives were nearby. Both were promiscuous and oversexed  men.*
 

*She was either naive or just  pretended to not know about her husband's many liaisons.*
 

   
 

   
 

  
 

   RICHARD & PAT  NIXON
 

   *A "moral" man but very odd, weird,  paranoid. He had a horrible relationship with his family and was almost  a recluse.*
 

*She was quiet most of the  time.*
 

   
 

  
 

   
 

   SPIRO AGNEW
 

  *Nice, decent man. Everyone in the  Secret Service was surprised by his downfall.*
 

  
 

   
 


 

   GERALD & BETTY  FORD
 

  *A true gentlemen who treated the  Secret Service with respect and dignity. He had a great sense of humor.  *
 

*She drank a lot!*
 

  
 

   
 


 

   JIMMY & ROSALYN  CARTER
 

   *A complete phony who would portray  one picture of himself to public and very different in private e.g.  would be shown carrying his own luggage but the suitcases were always  empty. He kept empty ones just for photo ops. He wanted people to see  him as pious and a non-drinker but he and his family drank alcohol a  lot! He had disdain for the Secret Service and was very irresponsible  with the "football" with nuclear codes. He didn't think it was a big  deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Often did not  acknowledge the presence of Secret Service personnel assigned to serve  him.*
 

*She mostly did her own  thing.*
 

  
 

   
 


 

   RONALD & NANCY  REAGAN
 

   *The real deal, moral, honest,  respectful and dignified. They treated Secret Service and everyone else  with respect and honor, thanked everyone all the time. He took the time  to know everyone on a personal level. One favorite story was early in  his Presidency when he came out of his room with a pistol tucked on his  hip. The agent in charge asked: "Why the pistol, Mr. President?" He  replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help." It was  common for him to carry a pistol. When he met with Gorbachev, he had a  pistol in his briefcase. 
 

*She was very nice but very  protective of the President and the Secret Service was often caught in  the middle. She tried hard to control what he ate. He would say to the  agent, "Come on, you gotta help me out." The Reagans drank wine during  State dinners and special occasions only otherwise they shunned alcohol.  The Secret Service could count on one hand the times they were served  wine during family dinner. For all the fake bluster of the Carters, the  Reagans were the ones who lived life as genuinely moral  people.*
 

  
 

   
 


 

   GEORGE H. & BARBARA  BUSH
 

*Extremely kind and considerate,  always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents' comforts  were taken care of. They even brought them meals. One time she brought  warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport . One was given  a warm hat and, when he tried to say "no thanks" even though he was  obviously freezing, the President said "Son, don't argue with the First  Lady. Put the hat on." He was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran  the White House like a well-oiled machine.*
 

*She ruled the house and spoke her  mind.*
 

  
 

   
 


 

   BILL & HILLARY  CLINTON
 

*Presidency was one giant party.  Not trustworthy. He was nice mainly because he wanted everyone to like  him but to him life is just one big game and party. Everyone knows about  his sexuality.*
 

*She is another phony. Her  personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with  open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was another who felt  people were there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on  Bill Clinton.*
 

  
 

   
 


 

   ALBERT GORE
 

  * An egotistical ass who was once  overheard by his Secret Service detail lecturing his son that he needed  to do better in school or he would end up like these guys, pointing to  the agents.*
 

  
 

   
 

   
 

   GEORGE W. & LAURA  BUSH
 

   *The Secret Service loved him  and Laura Bush. He was also the most physically in shape who had a very  strict workout regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administrative  and household staff understood that they were to respect and be  considerate of the Secret Service.*
 

   *She was one of the nicest First  Ladies, if not the nicest. She never had any harsh word to say  about anyone.*
 

 
 

  
 


 

   *BARACK & MICHELLE  OBAMA
 

  * Clinton all over again - hates the  military and looks down on the Secret Service. He is egotistical and  cunning. He looks you in the eye and appears to agree with you but turns  around and does the opposite. He has temper tantrums.*
 

*She is a complete bitch who basically hates anybody who is not black, hates the military and looks at the Secret Service as servants.*
 
 
 
 
 
 


  
A TRUE STORY ABOUT GEN McChrystal's  resignation in Obama's office, Worth reading from Gen McChrystal's book! 
  
NEVER STAND IN LINE AGAIN (Gen. Stanley McChrystal)

Some men carry and handle their diplomacy better than others........

When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan , Stanley McChrystal, was called into the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role as President.

"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation.

Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation the President made a cheap parting shot. "I bet when I die you'll be happy to pee on my grave."

The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."

BLT

This is an incredible story that will capture your imagination and tug at your heart strings!  Enjoy!!



This Lion, Tiger, And Bear Are Most Unlikely Gang Of Friends You'll Come Across

They came from a background of abuse and fear. Now they've bonded together and are truly inseparable.

This is Leo the African Lion, Baloo the Black Bear, and Shere Khan the Bengal Tiger.

The threesome were rescued as babies from the basement of an

Atlanta drug dealer's home when it was raided by authorities.

They were starving, traumatized, and had bacterial infections.

Since then, they were brought to Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary…

…Where they've lived in the same habitat together for 13 years.

The only time the three were separated was when Baloo was sent to surgery.

While at the drug dealer's home, Baloo had been mistreated so profoundly that the harness that was put

on him had grown into his skin.

The two cats were distraught and cried for the bear's return when

he was at the vet's. Since then, no one has separated the group.

They had clearly bonded during their earliest memories, and never

wanted to be apart.

Now they live together as if they were brothers of the same species.

They play together, nuzzle one another, and are extremely affectionate.

The threesome are the only lion, tiger, and bear living

together in the entire world.

They're just that exceptional.

Humans could really learn from the bond that these three have.

Facebook: Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary

No one ever told them they couldn't love one another, so they did just that.

Facebook: Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary

And now, even all these years later, they continue to do so.

The trio are affectionately referred to as BLT, standing for bear, lion, and tiger.

They might just be the most adorable sandwich ever!
