(: Emily Ratajkowski :)

Emily Ratajkowski took to Twitter to defend her latest fashion choice after "Proejct Runway" star Tim Gunn called her red carpet look "appallingly vulgar." 
  .  
The model, known for her flesh-flashing, risque style, showed up at Harper's Bazaar ICONS party in New York City on Friday in a gown that showed a lot of skin, to say the least. 
  .   
While many of Ratajkowski's fans praised the 25-year-old for her sexy look, Gunn couldn't help but speak out against it. 
  .  
Gunn said, "This dress is so appallingly vulgar and revealing. Why wear anything? Why not just take it all off," 
  .   
Ratajkowski was not amused, tweeting: "Western men in 2016: Want to ban women abroad from voluntarily covering themselves at the beach...then want women to cover up their 'vulgar' bodies at home."

**South Carolina Troopers**

 Southern Cops & Their Way With Words 
   

   
These are actual comments made by South Carolina
Troopers that were taken off their patrol car videos: 
   .   
1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than 
the one you just went through."  
   .   
2.  "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new.
They'll stretch after you wear them a while."  
   .   
3.  "If you take your hands off the car, 
I'll make your birth certificate a worthless 
document."  
   .   
4.   "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."  
   .   
5.   "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second?
Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be 
chasing you."  
   .   
6.   "You don't know how fast you were going? 
I guess that means I can write anything I want 
to on the ticket, huh?"  
   .   
7.   "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, 
but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention 
that I'm the shift supervisor?"  
   .   
8.  "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, 
I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll 
give you another ticket."  
   .   
9.   "The answer to this last question will 
determine whether you are drunk or not. 
Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"  
   .   
10.   "Fair? You want me to be fair? 
Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on 
rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and 
step in monkey poop."  
   .   
11.  "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets 
and my wife gets a toaster oven."  
   .   
12.   "In God we trust; all others we run through 
NCIC." ( National Crime Information Center )   
   .   
13.  "Just how big were those 'two beers' 
you say you had?"  
   .   
14.  "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. 
We used to, but now we're allowed to write 
as many tickets as we can."  
   .   
15.  "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) 
is a personal friend of yours. So you know 
someone who can post your bail."  
   .   
AND THE WINNER IS.............  
   .   
16.  "You didn't think we give pretty women 
tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

(~ THIS IS US ~)

  THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS!  

  .   

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday. 

  .   

  .  

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We   worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and have grown old together.

    

  

Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.

  

In school we studied English, history, math, and science,  which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We  remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an  icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.

    

   

We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on  the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America; we  fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag.

    

  

We know the words to the “Star  Spangled Banner,” “America,” and “America the Beautiful” by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America. 

  

Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have  at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and  nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America  against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to  keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

  

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies." You youngsters have tasted socialism and seen evil face to  face, and have found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise,  but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social  Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many  of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to  see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.'  Now you're paying  the price and complaining about it; no jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes,  and less freedom.

  

This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty, and you traded it for a paycheck and  a fancy house.

  

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here,  and in 2016 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like, but we get where we're going, and in 2016 we're  going to the polls by the millions.

  

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to  the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Eric Holder.  It belongs to "We the People," and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom.  We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it   along to our grandchildren.  So the next time you have the chance to say the  Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Gray-Haired Brigade." 

  

Footnote:  This is spot on.  I am another Gray-Haired Geezer  signing on.  I will 

circulate this to other Gray-Haired 

Geezers all over  this once great county.

  

Can you feel the ground shaking?  

It's not an earthquake, it is a STAMPEDE.

(~ Life is Good ~)

 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.   

  

      

(- A SENIOR DRIVER -)

My neighbor was working in his yard

     

when he was startled by a late-model car

     

that came crashing through his hedge

     

and ended up in his front lawn.

       

        

He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out

    

of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair.

      

      

He said with excitement,

    

"You appear quite elderly to be driving."

      

     

"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly. 

    

"I'll be 97 next month,

    

and I am now old enough, that I don't

    

Even need a driver's license anymore."

      

      

He asked "Who told you that?"

      

      

"The last time I went to my doctor,

     

he examined me and asked if I had a driver's license.

       

       

I told him, yes and showed it to him." 

      

      

He took scissors out of the drawer, 

     

cut the license into pieces, 

    

and threw them in the waste basket, saying, 

    

'You won't need this anymore.' 

     

     

So I thanked him and left! 

      

    

       

Just wanted to say, “Hi!”  

    

“HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!”        A smile - is a sign of joy.       A hug - is a sign of love. 

    

A laugh - is a sign of happiness.       And a friend like me?  Well...  

    

that's just a sign of good taste!
