getting put or sent away-that you say when you've had a senior moment? I just read Witch Hazel say "Special Sunday Afternoon Drive". My mom always said (for the last five years anyways) "I guess you'll be getting me a room next to dad's" and my sister's family (who live in Alaska) say "Guess it's time to send you out on the ice floe" a reference to the long ago Eskimo tradition of putting the elderly out to sea. Does your family have such a saying?

They usually say something on the order of, "You've got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peeling."

First we get to live in the same room at the nursing home. Then they are gonna "stack us like dominoes" and I don't know why they say that.

Honey, get the shotgun (implying it's time to shoot the dog) (my family heritage in part is practical down-to-earth farmers)

You're one step closer to Shady Pines Rest Home, is what they tell me.
