Senior Citizens

I thought for sure hubby would come out of Manworld to see if I had lost my mind. (Ah, but he was on the phone trying to counsel the elsewhere-mentioned brother of mine.)

And, could it be propaganda and we're so quick to grab a bargain we don't realize it? Do you buy food from other countries?

Rule 8: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 9: Doing your best may well satisfy your Mommy and Daddy, but the rest of the world will be completely unimpressed.

Rule 10: If your social life is more important than your commitment to the work you choose, you should be prepared to eat irregularly and sleep outdoors.

Where are the Real Men?
-------------------------

On a recent flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The
turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is
struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she
stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die," she
wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last
minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there ANYONE on this plane who
can make me feel like a WOMAN?"

For a moment, there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own
peril. They all stared, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front
of the plane.

Then a man from Montana stands up in the rear of the plane. He is
gorgeous: tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He
starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt...one
button at a time.

..No one moves.

..He removes his shirt.

..Muscles ripple across his chest.

..She gasps...

..He whispers:

"Iron this, and get me something to eat...."

"I-I-I-I-I look at all those lonely people." (violins kick in at this point)da-da-da .. da-da, da-da, "Father McKensie went to the church" ........ and did something or other, I can't remember. Who were the other people mentioned in that song?
I think that this is one of the Beatles better songs - they had some that were good, and some that weren't so good. But I'm no music expert.

I have seen it written of the Seniors Group that we are close knit. I sincerely hope that is true for a number of reasons other than that we are exclusive.

Lets be real, We know it‘s true!! Too often the best answer in this group is chosen more for the popularity of the answerer than for the quality of the answer. When I vote for a best answer I usually find that I am in agreement with the majority of voters. Amazing.

I have also observed that the askers who chose their own best answer will most often chose an answer that reinforces their already formed opinions.

From this day forth I will put all may questions out for vote. I believe that will remove any appearance of bias and help create a level playing field that welcomes diverse and interesting answerers.

What do you think?

I look at some pics of my parents and grandparents at my current age, 56. I am extremely critical of myself, but gosh! I look so much better than the rest of the my family at the same age.

Maybe it's the new fangled face creams! (And NOT smoking!) Or an easier life?

I was about 35. I started driving late, and I went to take the eye exam at MVA. I was told to read the letters. I told the person that they needed to adjust the screen that displayed the letters before I could read them. He nonchalantly looked at me without blinking, and asked when was the last time I got my eyes checked. I insisted that I had 20/20 vision. I was wrong and needed distance glasses. When I put them on I never realized what I was missing. I could see clearly!!!

after you have finished shopping? When I was younger I use to see a lot of the older seniors wandering around the parking lot and I knew they could not find their car. Now it is happening to me sometimes. I know you are out there. : )

your car takes another route, and you realize you are going the wrong way to get to that destination! It is usually a route you take often so it becomes automatic. I hate when I do that.

I am not sure I would have worn the tight, stretchy blouses with all of my stomach hanging out. Being pregnant is beautiful, but no one needs or wants to see your belly in all its glory. This is just my opinion. What say you?

There is much talk among the clansfolk of the shananigans that were indulged in on the night of The Grand Hooley - and it would be a shame to cast a shadow on such a fine event.

But I have been advised by my Guiding Light that I should issue a formal statement.

I deny everything. x 3.
And the education that I received from the Brave and HUGE McTealc was absolutely as he himself states - purely based on military strategy. I am now fully up to date on 'Heat Seeking Missiles'. I feel now competant to take on any future enemies of our clan having received a very comprehensive course in hand to hand combat and was fully de-briefed.

However - ours is a professional relationship and further to that statement - I repeat - whatever the charge - NOT GUILTY.
No more hand-cuffs for me thank you very much

Let there be no more talk of such louche behaviour.

It is a disappointment that such loose talk abounds. Are the Dragons behind this fiction??

For me, I saw myself living in the 'old homestead' - a home large enough to accomodate visiting children and grands - a 'tire' swing hanging from an old maple tree - a wrap around porch with a ceiling suspended swing...etc etc. and me and my mate together and comfortable as two old shoes but enjoying life to its fullest.

NOT....life happened - I have been divorced since '77 - never remarried [nor he] - came close but no bananas...

I was hell bent on providing my kids as close to the life I had when growing up - so I lived financially too close to the edge so I could live in DC suburbs that were safe, diverse, good public schools and great neighbors [takes a whole community to raise a child!] Although I made good money through three careers over the years it all went towards the kids - housing; cars; athletics; dance; college you name it.

STILL my dream was remained in focus until I was the unfortunate recipient of a RIF from my 'good government job'.

I love phrases like "cow patties", "don't give a horse's patoody", "let's rock him to sleep with a real rock", "older than sand ", "deep dodo", "cat yak", "advertisement for dead".... Hubby just likes the good old basic "Horse Sh--"!

AOL has this blurb about how "older" women should dress, and bunches checked in bragging about how they can wear all the latest fashions because they look so youthful.

Maybe they do, and maybe they can. I don't and I can't, but I don't want someone looking down her nose at me because I don't. I hate the way "society" tries to cram people into little molds. And people willingly allow themselves to be manipulated thusly.

I would honestly like your opinion. I frequent a coffee shop 3or4 times a week with friends, if we do not order a special coffee or smoothie we don't have to stand in line, just put your money in the honor tube and help yourself to regular coffee. A well to do gentleman throws a penny in the tube(everyone has seen this)gets his coffee sits down visits, gets a refill(should pay .50 cents) to go, doesn't pay, walks out. What do we say if anything? What would you say?
