Wisdom from Grandpa...
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt he forgets his sugar.
Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
When a man marries a woman, they become one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she'll never turn into an old nag.
On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine's gonna 'work'."
Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds, is in good health, and already used to taking orders.
Eventually you reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? (Like this one!)
You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
Have a GREAT day and keep laughing! It's good for the soul.
As I age I find it takes all day long to do what I used to do all day.
When the only way they recognize you is your voice.
As a senior FReemale- every part of my ‘once beautiful’ body has been damaged & repaired;0
WIG = chemotherapy
GLASSES = cataracts
HEARING aids = wax & crystals
DENTURES = partial
Prosthetic bra & implant = chemo
SKIN=wrinkled and saggy= weather
TOE nails = fungus
That’s far enough! LOL!!
“Too soon old and too late smart’’.
Six weeks of nasty pneumonia and a busted rib from passing out and falling down, is trying my patience.
But I still get up everyday and tend to the cows and the farm chores, so life goes on no matter how I feel.
The world doesn't stop turning for anyone.
Have a good day everybody!
I’m Ole and Poo
No man is complete until he’s married.
Then he’s finished.
Takes guts to get old.
I find I get more done since nearing and reaching the 80 mark.
Set off to say turn off the washer or dryer and manage to pick up the kitchen, straighten out the living room, sort out the mail and since I am already there- visit the head (at this age if one THINKS they have to go, you BETTER) then the ONLY way to remember to shut off the dryer is because it is still running, been so long since you set out, forgot why you were there.
And the ENTIRE above is in no special sequel, it changes and one would be surprised how often things ‘apparently’ need straightening out.....
I am in PERFECT shape..... ROUND still is a shape ain’t it?
*****The world doesn’t stop turning for anyone.*****
The current world population is 7.7 billion as of October 2019 [1] according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by Worldometers. The term “World Population” refers to the human population (the total number of humans currently living) of the world.
More good stuff. Thanks sodpoodle.
Sure beats the alternative.
All true.
Old age isn’t for sissies.
If it doesn’t HURT, it doesn’t WORK!
Old age is not for the faint of heart.
Don’t get old, you won’t like it. But then there is the alternative...
Never trust a fart over fifty.
