"Dreading Old Age"
I have always dreaded old age. I cannot imagine anything worse than being old. How awful it must be to have nothing to do all day long but stare at the walls or watch TV? So last year, when the President suggested we all celebrate Senior Citizen Week by cheering up a senior citizen, I decided to do just that. I would call on my new neighbor, an elderly retired gentleman, recently widowed, and who, I presumed, had moved in with his married daughter because he was too old to take care of himself. I baked a batch of cookies, and, without bothering to call (some old people cannot hear the phone), I went off to brighten this old guy's day.
When I rang the doorbell this "old guy" came to the door dressed in tennis shorts and a polo shirt, looking about as ancient and decrepit as Donny Osmond. "I'm sorry I can't invite you in," he said when I introduced myself, "but I'm due at the Racquet Club at two. I'm playing in the semifinals today."
"Oh that's all right," I said. "I baked you some cookies."
"Great!" he interrupted, snatching the box. "Just what I need for bridge club tomorrow! Thanks so much!"
I continued, "...and just thought we'd visit a while. But that's okay! I'll just trot across the street and call on Granny Grady."
"Don't bother," he said. "Gran's not home; I know. I just called to remind her of our date to go dancing tonight. She may be at the beauty shop. She mentioned at breakfast (at which house?) that she had an appointment for a tint job."
So I went home and called my Mother's cousin (age 83); she was in the hospital working in the gift shop. I called my aunt (age 74); she was on vacation in China. I called my husband's uncle (age 79). I forgot; he was on his honeymoon.
I still dread old age, now more than ever. I just don't think I'm up to it.

Bethany, it's not that they're intentionally lying; neither one of them would do that . . . it's just that when you get to be THEIR AGES, well, you see, certain neurological functions start to do funny things and things like one's memory and, uhm, mathematical skills go kerrflooey.
Bless their hearts.
If I had the time, I would go back and find where a certain someone agreed that she was older that myself. 6 days older.
Oh po po you. Since the burden of proof is on you, I guess we'll never really know now, will we?

By the way, I notice Sony hasn't responded to a single one of my posts since my avatar change. I wonder if she's ignoring my posts, thinking they're hers.
Maybe she's mad at herself and is giving herself the silent treatment.

They remember what was said. And really, just look at the photos. That tells the story right there. Yep! 6 days older than me for sure.

I'm back for a few... Sorry I had to run. My youngest had scared the DAYLIGHTS outta me.
I turn around and see him with a very sharp steak knife in his hand (holding it by the blade no less)...
Boy is sneaky and quiet. And SOMEHOW that knife got left where he could climb and reach it. THAT got fixed in a hurry, and thankfully he wasn't hurt. I was just a bit too shook up to post.

They can sure scare the daylights out of ya for sure. Several years ago my daughter came walking into the living room carrying my .40 caliber Thompson Contendter tournament pistol. It was put up really well, or so I thought. That was about a week before I sold every gun in the house, didn't want that to ever happen again.

Wow, Lynn, I'm sitting here trying to remember when the last time I had pineapple upside cake. I know it's been well over 10 years; and probably closer to 15 or so.
I don't have that problem. BTW, I just noticed your signature. (Sorry. I'm slow sometimes.) It was neat to see my birthday acknowledged there.
