Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 09, 2024

My Dad, God bless him, lived to 97. He really enjoyed chocolate covered raisins. Mom gave him a pass because that kept him regular!

And very likely she keeps up the life insurance payments.

Yet another Pie Hole Control moment ;-)

Aw lets him enjoys while he still can.

“Yeff, n idz d’liffiuff!”

From the depiction, she’s a day late and a dollar short (fortunately). Being a good cook doesn’t help the situation either.

Another example of the idea that men have no will power and it’s the woman’s responsibility to take care of him as if he were a 5-year old. Why is it the wife’s responsibility to watch his diet? Isn’t he an adult — one who was capable of earning a living and handling machinery and tools? This isn’t the 1800s, when women cooked all day because everyone ate at home. This is the 21st century, a time of fast foods, coffee shops, a grocery-story-in-every-gas-station, many, many restaurants, and online shopping. It doesn’t really matter if the wife does cook good, healthy meals, hubby can get his sugar-junk-food-fix any time: when he gasses up the car, meets friends for coffee, or when he goes online — overnight delivery is such a convenience.

He likes the truffled prunes.

He has to eat the candy before it goes bad

She just cares about your health big boy so she doesn’t have to play nurse to your diabetic lifestyle later.

My grandfather lived to 92, he loved Lowney’s chocolate cherries. We used to smuggle boxes in to him.

We dig our graves with out teeth. And it looks like this fatty is doing a great job. Hope he’s had his insulin today.

I told my wife I was preparing for my christmas role, she looked at me raised her eye and said christmas isn’t 365.

“Moderation, in all things, including moderation.” :)

My maternal grandmother was a short, very slim woman. She died first of all my grandparents. My paternal grandmother died next to last of same – and she was an eater and a heavy woman.

What scares me is that I suddenly realized that I am now older than my dad, 3 of my grandparents ( maternal grandfather lived into his 90s), all 3 of my parents siblings, and one cousin who was much younger than me – ever got to be! With the exception of my maternal grandfather and my mom – the past generation died long before my age! A bit scary – especially since I tend to take after dad’s side. Mom is still alive at 95.
