Hey Ladiies, Join me tomorrow at IHOP for free pancakes.  

I like mine topped with strawberries and whipped cream...Yummy!  

In honor of National Pancake Day/Mardi Gras's Fat Tuesday tomorrow, IHOP is throwing free pancakes off balconies across America.

Instead of actually throwing them you should be able to find them serving one free short stack per customer from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. tomorrow. (Find a location near you [Link Removed]) The pancakes are free, but IHOP is accepting donations for various Children charities, such as the Children’s Miracle Network and the Shriners Hospitals for Children.  

Check with your local IHOP for a list of charities. Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates.

How old is Grandpa???

Stay with this—the answer will be revealed later. It will blow you away.

One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.
The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.

The Grandfather replied, ‘Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill

There were no: credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens.  

Man had not invented: pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and man hadn’t yet walked on the moon

Your Grandmother and I got married first, . . .And then lived together.

Every family had a father and a mother.

Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, ‘Sir‘.
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, ‘Sir.’

We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.

Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.

We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.

Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.

We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.

Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.

Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.

Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.  

We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.

We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President’s speeches on our radios.

And I don’t ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.

If you saw anything not made in America, was junk

The term ‘making out’ referred to how you did on your school exam.

Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and instant coffee were unheard of.

We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.

Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.

And if you didn’t want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.

You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600,.... But who could afford one?
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

In my day:

‘grass’ was mowed,

‘coke’ was a cold drink,

‘pot’ was something your mother cooked in and

‘rock music’ was your grandmother’s lullaby.

‘Aids’ were helpers in the Principal’s office,

’ chip’ meant a piece of wood,

‘hardware’ was found in a hardware store and

‘software’ wasn’t even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.  

No wonder people call us 'old and confused' and say there is a generation gap. And how old do you think I am?  

Take your best guess...the answer will be revealed later. It will blow you away!

Have you ever had one of these moment?
