What is one thing you have done getting older you said you would NEVER do?

Question

I swore I would never wear pants with an elastic waist.

Whats yours?

Answer 1

When microwave ovens came out, I said I'd never lay my hands on one. I thought they were a threat to my home-cooking, that the food would be filled with radiation, and they would explode. Of course, we eventually bought one and now I couldn't live without it. Next I said I would never have a need for a home computer or the internet . . . need I say more?

Answer 2

Color my hair. It's still brown (in real life) but has strands of gray here and there,so I use Clairol 28 washes. My mom is 85 and is 60% gray and 40% brown. My dad was 100% white in his 60's. I got my hair genes from mom.

I also swore that I would never go to bed before 10:00 PM on week nights and mid-night on the weekends. I go to bed between 8:30 and 10:00. LOL Isn't life funny?

One last thing, I swore that I would always like new music. Need I say more. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Answer 3

Oh Donya: (Nobodyelsegetsto
listen.) I quit wearing a bra
many years ago. I read that the restriction is a primary cause of breast cancer.
Anyway, the other day I went
for a chest Xray. The male
technician said, "remove your
bra please." I said, "I don't
wear a bra." He just stood
there and looked at me. He
thought I was really senile.
He says,"PLEASE REMOVE
YOUR BRA" I said,"I DON'T
WEAR A BRA." He gave up
and took the picture and I
guess there were no metal
fasteners showing in the Xray.

Stay in this God-awful town called St. Joseph, Missouri. But thank goodness I have not married and had kids here yet. I will move somewhere else to raise children.
