Senior Citizens

weren't supposed to?

I thought of this when I read old stories from other folks (in the paper). One was a young man at his granfathers funeral. Grandma was sitting on a chair at the burial site. They did the 21 gun salute only no one warned her so when the shots went off, she got so scared she fell off the chair. In the back he heard his young cousin yell, "They shot grandma!"

After answering questions about flying and a few other things, I got to thinking....

I have become much more trepidatious about several things as I've become older.

Is it because I am more cognizant of my own mortality? - or is it because I no longer have 'blind trust' since I now realize how very dangerous a lot of pursuits are? - or a combination of both?

the people around you? Where they screamed or something?
I once ran up to a bunch of people viewing the overlook at the Grand Canyon with two of my friends and jumped right off the edge. My friends did too. Everyone was screaming. I laughed all the way down to more friends waiting below. That was the only parachute jump I actually enjoyed!

I used to fear getting older, but now I know that these are the best years of my life in ways that I could not understand when I was younger. I have a much richer life than ever and I'm happy to be 54.

Is there some reason why the cell phone manufacturers can't take the hint and create larger cell phones, with louder ring tones, bigger keypads for easier texting (yeah, I text!). I have arthritis, and I hate the earpiece on my phone (it's flat) and hard to hear out of.

We need some basics, no video stuff, just a good solid phone for all of us!

My day has been really boring because we have had no fuel to sell (because of the fire at the oil refinery in Essex) We have had no diesel since saturday and no unleaded since Monday. We have had to stay open because we have a convenience shop. Luckily, I was rushed off my feet at one point because I had 2 customers together. This rather saved the day! Lol!

I visit a 94 year old English widow once, twice a week. She's legally blind and almost stone deaf. Nonetheless, this does not stand in her way: she has her own apartment which she maintains without help, cooks, watches TV (with difficulty), listens to letters which I've read into her tape recorder, then writes and answers them in a flourishing but crooked manner. She quilts, puts down preserves, is an amazing Scrabble player, goes on bus tours and last but not least, is a member of a walking club. I hate that woman for two reasons: she makes me feel inactive & lazy and secondly, she can beat me in Scrabble, one of my favourite games. Seriously, she is a fantastic inspiration for me and others who sometimes become incapacitated out of boredom. Is there anyone in your life like this feisty old dame?

Apparently a couple were driving along in a place called Manson in Washington, and all of a sudden a cow landed on the bonnet (Hood) of their car. It had fallen off a cliff. It was a rodeo cow called Michelle that had escaped.The couple were OK but the cow was not. Now I know that I do have a warped sense of humour as although I did feel sorry for them, especially the cow, I just had to laugh. Is it just me?

A FIREMAN came home from work one day and told his wife, 'You know, we have a wonderful system at the fire station: BELL 1 rings and we all put on our jackets, BELL 2 rings and we all slide down the pole, BELL 3 rings and we're on the fire truck ready to go.



'From now on when I say BELL 1

I want you to strip naked.

When I say BELL 2

I want you to jump in bed.

And when I say BELL 3

we are going to make love all night.'

The next night he came home from work and yelled

'BELL 1!' The wife promptly took all her clothes off.



When he yelled 'BELL 2!', the wife jumped into bed.

When he yelled 'BELL 3!', they began making love.

After a few minutes the wife yelled 'BELL 4!'

'What the hell is BELL 4?' asked the husband?



'ROLL OUT MORE HOSE,' she replied. 'YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE FIRE.'
