Having a good time last night at a Mississippi riverside bar and grill with friends, I surely had my glasses with me as the photo shows. So much for finishing the book I was reading today . I can't find them. Wonder if.....? In any case a book review was in order so I'll have to substitute Plan B. An insight into some of the pluses and minuses of my well into 70 aging process.
01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you
02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released
first
03. No one expects you to run--anywhere
04. People call at 8 PM and ask, Did I wake you?
05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac
06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way
07. Things you buy now won't wear out
08. You can eat supper at 10 PM
09. You can live without sex but not your glasses
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans though Trump is taking over that subject.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who
walks into the room
13. You sing along with elevator music
14. Your eyes and knees won't get much worse
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning
to pay off
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the
national weather service
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they
can't remember them either
19. You can't remember who sent you this list
20. AND YOU NOTICE THIS IS IN DARK PRINT FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE

A comprehensive list. Two items to note: there still are things to learn the hard way; and, living in a national park, and the federal gbmt having snatched control of the roads in our national park from the local authorities, and speeding tickets now being issued by park rangers, and speeding tickets issued by rangers in national parks are for a federal offense, it is imperative I commit a federal offense before my driver's license is gone. A matter of honor.
Ah, the good old days when I got (1) speeding ticket. Now my high performance WRX Subaru (bought 12 years ago) is driven at a high speed of 45 MPH for 3000 miles a year. When I had kids and worked, I put on an average of 35,000 and was always hurrying everywhere. It isn’t so bad to slow down.
Or, you can eat supper at 4:00pm.
A nice bit of humour here
Love this!
That list is hysterical and so true! LOL! I get up at 3:30 now and it's lights out about 8:30 or 9....we don't need as much sleep they say which is good because it takes me so long to do things I need the extra hours!
Good to see you again....I'll be putting you on my sidebar so I don't lose touch.
DEAR TROUTBIRDER, NOTE THE BIG PRINT. THAT'S WHAT I DO ALL MY E-MAILS IN NOW THAT MY VISION IS COMPROMISED!!! I ENJOYED YOUR LISTING. AND YES, THE MEDICAL INSURANCE IS KICKING IN--A LOT FOR ME. PEACE.
I like the not having to worry about something wearing out. Good list
Are you sure you didn't forget what blog you're writing for because that's a strange danish roll recipe.
This is the cooking on the Mississippi blog, right?
LOVE this!
I agree, except for #6. I still find way too many things to learn the hard way! Hope your glasses turn up,
Hee hee! These are good! So glad my investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
