Mimsey - would that be the person who knows how to spell "to" in this instance?

GoldenGirl....

In my day I used to bend down when I felt stiff even though it made me groan although it wasn't like that when I was young in the days before I lost my hair from the top of my head and it moved towards other parts of my visage which is often pointed out in horrid noisy pubs by young whippersnappers singing unrecognisable modern hits by unheard-of popular beat combos which I would dance to if only it wasn't for my dodgy hips/knees which I must tell you about some time.
What was your name again?

another sign..........

If you can get out of a low chair without grunting/groating, you're still young!

My OH is still young, he sprawls in a beanbag! He can get up without grunting :-D I wouldn't dream of using his bean bag, cos I'd have to crawl to the sofa to climb upright.

:-D

Not being able to text
Thinking an email is a he-male, a tweet is the sound when you are feeding birds.
Watching Countdown
And lol means lots of love, RFLMAO means "I am a member of the Women's Institute and have just sung Jerusalem and made some jam."

Edit. And, on entering a room, look for a cottage style chair, quite high with supportive arms and ignore the £3,000 plush leather sofa with all the lovley cushions :-)

Gave my youngest son a shock recently. Actually liked some of the music he was playing. Even bought the CD, which sounds better than his downloaded (pirated??) version. Sounds even better on my music system, loud.
