... and of course, passes them on. Being careful to note, of course, that *I* am not old enough to 'get' them!

I'm sure someone here is, though. ;)

Ramblings of a Retired Mind

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.

I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.

I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor!

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me. They were cramming for their finals.

Well, this one I'm really quite old enough to "get" too, I assure you!

Well, all except for the hearing aid. I figure all the bionic eye parts are enough. ;)

I've invited her to post here, even said she could use my account (which she paid for ... birthday present) to do it. She keeps saying she could never figure things out. And yet if we'd told her two months ago she'd be forwarding jokey emails to all her friends and rellies ... !

I do send her threads to read sometimes, so you can keep saying nice things about me. I mean -- her!

Tell my birthday friend that I will assist her to figure out these boards......I've had plenty of practice!

Given time, she may even be advising GR on how things should run. Well, if she's anything like her daughter she will!
