Its sad but my great great grand kids will never know the joy of finding a quarter in the return slot of a payphone

do you remember getting out of bed without sound effects?

when the hen stopped laying eggs---henopause

I really miss being able to slam the phone down when I hang up on someone.
violently pressing "end call" just aint the same

man to grand son "when I was your age I had to walk to the tv to change channels

If my body was a car it would be time to trade for a newer model.I've got scratches, bumps and dents in my finish and my paint job is getting dull.thats not the worst of it.my headlights are out of focus and its hard to see things close up,far off or at night.my traction is not as good as it once was.I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.my white walls are stained with varicose veins.it takes hours to reach my maximum speed.my fuel burns inefficiently.
and here's the worst part.
EVERY TIME I SNEEZE OR COUGH EITHER MY RADIATOR LEAKS OR MY EXAUST BACK FIRES

There, there, be of good cheer. Mr. B just wanted to give you the low lites, so you'd be prepared. Anyone who has a 12-year-old will be kept young for a long, long time, regardless. Mr. B neglected to say things like....

No one calls you lazy if you take a nap in the middle of the day.

You can say just about anything you want to and they'll just chalk it up to dementia. My aunt, for some time BEFORE her dementia made her live in another plane of existence, used to say the most discomfiting things about people who would be standing right next to her. I came to know 'the signs' when she knew EXACTLY what she was saying and who it was standing next to her. She got this twinkle in her eye and could barely contain her chuckle at the expression on the offended person's face!! Full of mischief she was!! I plan to emulate my aunt.

You've paid your dues already, and so you can DO anything you want to, or not!! I started turning grey at 21 and with my white hair, anyone younger than 65 insists on helping me do it too!! When I'm tired, I don't argue. I just let them 'help', but if I'm not tired, they are shocked when I say 'no'.

People my age (68 in a couple of weeks) will show great respect and will actually listen. Hey, anyone who gets to be 'older' must have some smarts. How else do those who survive to a ripe older age do so if they don't have some smarts.

Like I said, Mr. B just wanted you to be prepared.:lol: Funny man Mr. B. is!! Wicked sense of humor :wink:

Let's see, those pointy things sprouting from my forehead? I'm surprised you pose that question!! :roll: :lol: You KNOW the answer to that one, you know you do. :lol: As to an essence, awwww, but you can continue on. I have been told it's rude to interrupt. Yes, there are joys of 'elderhood' and I'm looking forward to them!! My great aunt, at 87, still drove her tractor in the fields and crawled around under her house when the baby turkeys hid out there when it rained. I always admired my great aunt. Here's to aging gracefully!!

I am now 82; mow my acre with my John Deere (I'm very fond of him); today I took the electric trimmer out to trim some bushes, but it did get awfully hot so after a couple of hours, I left a fair amount for tomorrow. You do it all in one day - what are you going to do the next day - Right!

At 79 I was up on the roof of the other house - steeper, higher roof. When the insurance adjuster was up there he looked down and asked me if I had done that. I gingerly admitted it. He very UNKINDLY said, "Well, don't do it again." I didn't think that was very nice of him. He could have said it in a nicer tone. Right!

Some people, who know my age, act as though they have to be of assistance. What's going on with this younger generation? Pansies! Just because there's been a BIT of water over the dam doesn't mean I've run dry. I don't teeter or stagger when I walk. I can balance on one foot while the other one touches my calf. I can do pilates - you know the V, but I do bend my knees. I can sit flat legged on the floor and touch my forehead to my knees - if you think that's easy - TRY IT!

By the grace of God, I will be able to do those things up to the day He calls me home. And, Amen to that.

P.S. I liked your jokes BB.

You might as well plan on being here a long time Beark. I am being selfish, but we need you. By the way, my great aunt lived to 101 and was a voracious reader. She read everything including Stephen King. At 94 her car was stolen and we manged to encourage her not to spend all that money on a new one. She was still doing great at 100 and a firm believer in exercise.
