The Original Old Farts Club

In my so called "golden years", all that's golden is my piss.

Best you get some real gold, then... while the US dollar will still buy some. It IS (has to) go the way of the Bolivar. The exchange rate for Bolivar to Dollar in 2011 was four to one. Four Bolivars for one US Dollar.

Today (temporarily, until the Dollar catches up as it is most ricky-tick gonna do) the exchange rate is 3,192,848 Bolivars to one USD.

Good morning my old fart brethren, how ya'll doin' today. Great discussion on several subjects. Speaking as a person who got passed over and hurt by affirmative action at my workplace., I am discussed by your support of it. We were given a test, both written and oral. Not enough minorities passed, so they gave everyone 5 points. Now they had enough to make a list. Then they took minorities off the bottom of the list and promoted them over non minorities. These minorities never passed the test in the first place. And you call that fair ? I was in the business of saving lives and putting out the fires that YOU started. Affirmative action bit me in the azz. I never judged a person by the color of his skin, only if you could do the job.

yoop -- Here is the other side of that teeth grinder. As a manager, I interviewed a job seeker of the dark-skinned persuasion.

First, some history: When I was hired, I had to take an IQ test, a general knowledge test (math, electronics, etc.) and list any crime record if I had any.

Back to the job seeker. Under "Skills" he printed out (verbatim):

"I nose how to work a f uck lift."

And no longer was it even legal to ask a job seeker if he had a rap sheet. This dude had a branded arm from the gang he was in.

I hired him. I had absolutely no choice in the matter.

All I know is NObody will hire me.....I am worthless. And I like it like that. When I got out of school I knew I had to work so I did. I am afraid a person today is looking for entitlements rather that a job. What a shame.

I signed papers yesterday allowing for a lump sum minus 20% (penalty taxes) from a government retirement package instead of monthly installment payments, .. it's substantial .. I'm receiving my monthly SS already and if they put a proposal out there that I can opt out and receive a lump sum from them then I will do that too ..

Our compound is up for sale too so I'm putting $1K in a san francisco examiner classifieds real estate advertisement ... P.T. Barnum said it so eloquently with 'a sucker born every minute'

Spot on. and Roster said it as well. Watch the younger generation doesn't think we deserve SS......THAT IS NOT A ENTITLEMENT!!! We had 5% of our check taken out all of our working life and it is OUR MONEY!

I am sure there are those trying to figure out a way to take that away from us. To bad we can't get a lump sum payout or better yet get all we paid into the program plus 10% interest. I'm gonna get all mine back.....I will live until I am 100......watch me.

Oh, and yes I am buying Gold and Silver.

Fortunately Vitamin B will increase the golden-ness and aromatics of our piss, were we to be fortunate enough for that to be the standard. Alas and alack, with the prestige of grey hair and wizened vicinages comes the wear and tear from mileage.

Hee, hee, hee, snicker, snark, snort, the most golden part for me was retirement at 62 and being able to direct my attention to my other interests.

yaknow pute, the last 5 administrations have stolen from the coffers of the SS fund and 4 admins back started telling the younger generations that they would not have SS for their ageing lives. The SS funds were solvent for up to the years around 2050 before Avarice was bowed down to by our ' leaders '. .. It only takes 3% of a population to invoke truth and stand up against liars and thieves that will produce at this point world wide introspection, .. after the nukes hit

The very most backward place I have worked was Texas. I am sorry to say this... it's a question of personal experience. My boss was so cheap he hired this bunch of gangbangers to run the machine I designed for him. A week later one of them came up to me at lunch and asked if I knew how to design explosives. I asked why. He replied that his house had just been shot up with an AK. I worked on the south side, after dark the pimps would come out and prowl the streets in riced vehicles. My boss was corrupt and bribed right left and centre. Finally, I had to sue him to get paid.

 

[pute]

Sounds like the company you worked for not Texas. Settle down Hopper. Ha ha. Me, I'm from the third rock from the sun.

 

[WeedHopper]

Yeah Texas is the only State with assholes. Lol

And when you leave town, there's one less.....

Forgot to share this morning; I was looking out back at the deer feeder and saw the smallest fawn I'd ever seen. Little snot was smaller than my cats. Had to be just born, and it was still wobbly on it's tiny little legs. Talk about an AWWWW moment. Had me smiling all day.

 

[pute]

I have hand-fed a 12-point buck that came up to my waist. Key Deer are adordabobble.

Lookit this monster buck (knee high):

A baby Key Deer -- NOTE: The Mama deer is knee high. Fawns are about ten inches long and 7-8 inches high. At birth fawns weigh 2 to 4 pounds.
