WE ALL GET OLD IN THE END....
- I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.
- Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.
- You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.
- I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.
- I decided to stop calling the bathroom the “John” and renamed it the “Jim”. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
- Old age is coming at a really bad time. When I was a child I thought “Nap Time” was a punishment. Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small vacation.
- The biggest lie I tell myself is..."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."
- I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just very wise.
- Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.
- If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.
- Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.
- Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?
- Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice.
- At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.
- I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later.
- I don’t have to go to school or work.I get an allowance every month.
- I have my own pad.
- I don’t have a curfew.
- I have a driver’s license and my own car.
- I have ID that gets me into bars and the whisky store.
- The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant.
- And I don’t have acne.
- Life is great. I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names

BREAKING NEWS
Seattle Learns Harsh Lesson About Dramatically Hiking Minimum Wage06/27/2017 / By admin

A new study shows that Seattle’s big move last year to become the first city in the country to hike the minimum wage to $15 an hour is…playing out exactly as conservative economists warned it would. Oh, Seattle’s rich, elite liberals – the ones who feel their heartstrings pulled every time they see people in the picket lines outside McDonalds – will be just fine. And according to the study, Seattle business owners will likely be okay as well, at least for the time being. No, the only people really being hurt by the jump to $15 are…the very workers the law was intended to help.
And when it comes to Democrat Party policies, isn’t that always the way?
According to a new paper from the University of Washington, Seattle’s working poor are making more money for every hour they work, just as the minimum wage hike demanded. The only problem? They aren’t working as many hours. The study showed that while the new wage law has boosted pay for these workers by 3%, that boost was accompanied by an unfortunate 9% reduction in hours. Overall, that means that Seattle’s lowest-paid workers are now taking home about $125 less every month.
Great job once again, Democrats. Why these fools keep voting for you, we’ll never understand.
“This is a two-edged sword,” said Jacob Vigdor, one of the researchers. “And if you raise this minimum wage the way Seattle did you run the risk of actually taking money away from the people you are trying to help.”
And liberals who are bound and determined to defend the wage hike can’t blame the working poor’s struggles on an overall decline in Seattle’s economy. Because while those making minimum wage are having their hours slashed, job growth in the city is actually up 13%. The problem is that the growth is only being seen by those who make more than $19 an hour.
Knowing Democrats, they’ll use this statistic to launch a “Fight for $19” platform ahead of the 2018 elections. Never underestimate their ability to take a bad situation and make it worse.
