Seniors
Related: About this forumA good friend of mine sent me these Senior Words of Wisdom:
>> • Still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating, or murder.
>>
>> • Threw out my back sleeping and tweaked my neck sneezing so I’m probably just one strong gas blast away from complete paralysis.
>>
>> Dear paranoid people who check behind their shower curtains for murderers: If you do find one, what’s your plan?
>>
>> • The older I get, the more I understand why roosters just scream to start their day.
>>
>> • Being popular on Facebook is like sitting at the ‘cool table’ in the cafeteria of a mental hospital.
>>
>> • You know you’re over 50 when you have ‘upstairs ibuprofen’ and ‘downstairs ibuprofen’.
>>
>> . How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life, when the rabbit is always jumping but only lives for around two years while the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all lives over 200 years? So, rest, chill, eat, drink, and enjoy life!
>>
>> • If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon.
>>
>> • When I lost the fingers on my right hand in a freak accident, I asked the doctor if I would still be able to write with it. He said, “Probably, but I wouldn’t count on it.”
>>
>> • I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise. But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.
>>
>> • Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their life has clearly never had two candy bars fall down at once from a vending machine.
>>
>> • We live in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.
>>
>> • The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have begun asking humans to prove they aren’t a robot.
>>
>> • When a kid says, “Daddy, I want mommy” that’s the kid version of “I’d like to speak to your supervisor”.
>>
>> • It’s weird being the same age as old people.
>>
>> • Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say CLOSE ENOUGH.
>>
>> • Last night the internet stopped working so I spent a few hours with my family. They seem like good people.
>>
>> • If Adam and Eve were Cajuns, they would have eaten the snake instead of the apple and saved us all a lot of trouble.
>>
>> • We celebrated last night with a couple of adult beverages …… Metamucil and Ensure.
>>
>> • You know you are getting old when friends with benefits means having someone who can drive at night.
>>
>> • Weight loss goal: To be able to clip my toenails and breathe at the same time.
>>
>> • After watching how some people wore their masks, I understand why contraception fails.
>>
>> • So now cocaine is legal in Oregon, but straws aren’t. That must be frustrating.
>>
>> • Some of my friends exercise every day. Meanwhile, I am watching a show I don’t like because the remote fell on the floor.
>>
>> • For those of you who don’t want Alexa or Siri listening in on your conversation, they are making a male version….it doesn’t listen to anything.

>>
>> • Now that Covid has everyone washing their hands correctly…next week…Turn Signals.
>>

(7,421 posts)I have an observation about old age. As you get older, the floor gets farther away. It must be true, because it takes me a lot longer to get down there, and also to get back up again.

(42 posts)Say hello to California for me, Peggy. I lived there (Los Angeles) for six years and miss it terribly. Even people in Indiana, who normally claim to hate everything to do with California, asked me why the hell I moved back. (I'm from here and had family obligations)
