Great thread! I keep telling myself I'm not really getting older...but my joints and muscles argue with me. There are other indicators as well. Yesterday, going into Panera, a pretty young thing rushed in front of me, looking me in the eye as she passed and flashing a huge, bright smile. I'm thinking, "I still got it!" Then she opened the door and said, "Let me get that for you." It ruined my whole day. I could barely take my nap in my booth at Panera. 🤫

One quick question......does Charmin TP come in navy with a gray pin stripe?
Every year our Antique Vehicle Club visits a senior living home and take the residents for rides in our cars and treat them to pastries and ice cream. Last year I asked everyone who rode with me how old they were. Turns out not one of them was as old as me...85.
Jack, we can always depend on you to treat our ears to some corny joke! Enjoy this fine Saturday morning.

I lost another friend, last week, a wonderful woman from Belgium who needed my help extracting funds due to her from a company in the USA. So far, I have outlived all of my closest friends, with the exception of two, though they are younger by several years. What makes me feel very old, sometimes, is the lack of a peer with whom to commiserate about common experiences. There aren't that many people left who can relate to the experience of attending Woodstock, or even the Cattlemen's Ball, in Fort Worth. That is the downside of getting older without one's friends close at hand - the ability to discuss the past with someone who was there.

My "humor" may be mostly corn groaners but at least I'm consistent....and it does appeal to some.
