I believe my best friend’s Grandmother is 99, and an active member of the Republican Party.
She’ll bury you, Zeke.
Democrats see it as more voters. Just like how Illinois Republicans always change registration upon death.
While at the hairdresser I met a lovely lady of 104 who was there for a perm. She had just came back from a trip to the Holy Land with her daughter, granddaughter and 9 other people. Said she had a fabulous time, only place she missed was a ledge with a slippery trail because it’s always wet. Her granddaughter slipped on it and injured her leg. A really delightful lady who appeared to be about 70—very alert and engaging.
She’s my inspiration to one day see the Holy Land-I’m only 81, just getting started, Zeke.
My mother is 92 going on 25. A few years ago she broke her hip, looked up at me in amazement from her hospital bed and said, “Does this mean I’m old?” I said, “Never.” And it’s true.
I was in an “Antique” store one day, where I picked up a black and white glossy SIGNED photograph of Barry Goldwater.
And an AUH2O button, and some campaign literature.
I got them all for $10.
Then I put the photo in a $130 frame.
And I’m 52. I understand.
Worry not, Ebola will take care of all the exdtra people and then some. We will need to import Mexicans and Chinese, to rebuild the empty cities—only future growth—Cemeteries!
Just his idea of “weeding the garden”. Plants (or in this instance, people) that are too old, or unattractive, or fail to measure up in some arcane way of judging, are deemed “unfit” and ripped out.
There is a Biblical template of “three score and ten”, but that is a suggestion, not a directive. Psalm 90:10 - The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
But elsewhere man is offered an optimal age of 120 years, and even that is not an absolute.
Adam was supposed to live forever, you know. And he only made it about 900 years or so.
Old age ain’t for sissies.
life without parole
And his father Satan too.
Don’t forget.
That’s so funny!
My program cancels all my cookies so unless I post again—and have to log in—it’s often several days before I see any posts to me.
My now 54 year old son was the one who chose my screen name because he knew I campaigned for Goldwater
I know what you mean about the frame.
We have two Monet very large prints with $500 worth of mats and framing!
I’m only 81 going on 25. So far I’ve crashed twice on my left knee when I tripped because I didn’t watch where I was going. The first time I just missed our flat screen Tv, the 2nd I was sure I broke something. Bones holding strong. I was holding one eye closed after glaucoma drops. We finally had a tree cut down because I was getting a little bit nervous trying to trim it from the top of a 10’ ladder while my husband was away (so he wouldn’t stop me). That interior clock doesn’t seem to be working.
Please tell your mother I met a lady of 104 at the beauty parlor who had just come back from a 15 day trip to the Holy Land—she had an awesome time and hopes to go again. There’s our role model!
See I repeated myself there. That’s what happens after 4 hours pulling weeds on a beautiful October day.
