Retirement Gifts For Laughs

Home Made Is Economical

On the process of choosing what gift to give on a retiree's special day, you may have finally decided to give him something that you think is quite special in a way that you are the one who is going to make it. You may be thinking that by making such a funny home made retirement gift, you would be able to bring a little bit of laughter to the ideally sad retirement event and at the same time save yourself a bit of cash. You may also put the idea of home made in a perspective of a utilitarian and consider the act itself as geared toward the greater good, which is in this context both of you for benefiting.

Home Made Is Personal

What is good about a retirement gift as being home made is that it becomes more personal than anything bought off the common marketplace or online. Having to create a personal work of progress shows more value and effort put into such a retirement gift. For a recipient who values the aesthetic value as well as the sentimental value of things, he will be able to appreciate a home made retirement gift more than those which were commercially made. Having a retirement gift as personally crafted also becomes an expression of the giver's concern and love for the creation of the item itself. With an added concept of being laced with humor, a funny home made retirement gift becomes an extension of the creator's sense of humor itself.

Home Made Is Unique

For example, if the creator wishes to create a funny retirement gift such as a knitted shirt with a slogan "RETIRING to bed tonight" to be given and worn by the retiree during the retirement event would definitely catch a few chuckles from the guests, perhaps even from the boss. By doing so, not only have you advertised your sense of creativity and good nature to everyone else other than the recipient of your gift, you also have made it known among them that you have creativity and a sense of value for uniqueness.

Home Made Is Perfect For The Home

One distinguishing idea in creating a funny home made retirement gift is that it is lighthearted in its own value since it wishes to bring out a smile with the retiree and whoever gets to see the gift. Also bear in mind that whatever you are going to create for the retiree, it has to adhere to the notion that there wouldn’t be any issues, especially sensitive ones which will be violated because of an incorrectly placed joke or remark on the gift. A home made retirement gift is safe to create with the idea that it would be for home use.

Home Made Is Priceless

Another good thing about a funny home made retirement gift is that its uniqueness is its own value, which is definitely priceless. Like any work of art, any retirement gift that has been hand crafted and given to another person is similar to giving a part of the person to another as a parting gift and to be part of the new person's life. The idea of giving a part of one's self to another through self expression of concern, acknowledgement, and love makes not just any retirement gift but any gift priceless.

Two things to bear in mind when giving funny home made retirement gifts: self humor and creativity.

Awesome To Kill an American...

Written by an Australian Dentist .I had to post this


You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is. So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)

'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan . The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.
The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness..

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.

When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan .
The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America.

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place.. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.


Please keep this going!
Pass this around the World.
Then pass it around again.

It says it all, for all of us Please do not just delete. Pass it on first.

Thanks!

Seniors Helping Seniors

Seniors Helping Seniors started in 1998 with a simple concept that seniors can help each other age better and that those who give and those who receive equally benefit. As an innovative, intra-generational companion services that functions exclusively with and for seniors, we provide:

• An experienced and credible resource of help for older adults who want to stay in their own homes
• Full-range of home care, companion and home maintenance support services from seniors who enjoy helping
• Reasonable hourly rates for seniors who want services and reasonable hourly wages to seniors who provide them

What we do
At Seniors Helping Seniors we match seniors who want to provide services with seniors who are looking for help. And what we find is that these relationships are always mutual. It doesn't really matter who is the helper and who is being helped. Who is getting paid and who is paying. How we respond with respect, understanding and assistance is really what matters. Why not Love?® asks us to bring the best part of ourselves to each relationship, responding with love, nurturing that love and promoting our relationships through that love. And the result is The Power of Love™ — the gifts we receive from living our lives with love as our guiding principle. Gifts of joy, peace, happiness and fulfillment — all of which helps us grow in strength and kindness just a little bit more every day.

Who we are
Seniors Helping Seniors was co-founded by Kiran and Philip Yocom to provide seniors with the ability to choose an independent lifestyle in their own homes, for as long as possible, with the dignity and respect they deserve by finding caring seniors to help each other.

Seniors Helping Seniors was created from Kiran's personal mission to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. Before coming to the United States from India, Kiran worked with Mother Teresa for 14 years. Currently, Kiran serves as our organization's Executive Director, and Philip as the President of our Board of Directors.

How we've grown
Since 1998, we have grown from our first match to working with hundreds of helpers and clients. We've continued to expand our geography from Reading to the surrounding counties. We've expanded the training for our helpers. And we've grown the kinds of services we offer in response to the needs of our clients.

We plan to grow even more. We're beginning to open Seniors Helping Seniors Centers in different parts of the area and to license them. If you're interested in learning more about the opportunities for you to participate and Start a Center, click here.
