And once in awhile I can still get my licks in

I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
and return me, my ship
Even in 1971, this was a way bad decision....
Wow, I'm sorry you're this bitter, Archangelsk; however, I am entirely responsible for my financial situation. If I retire without enough money put aside I've only myself to blame.
Same today as it was when Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes.
He's not even in charge anymore and he is still trying to help us. Great article and a very good man indeed. But, I worry because many of those symptoms and issues he describes, I am feeling at 55.......
One of my best friends and neighbors, is in his 80's. His body is trash, but he still has the mind of a dreamer.....a youthful dreamer. I don't think I will make it to 70, let alone 80, but if I do, I pray that I will still be a youthful dreamer........
"They use the word "like" all the time. My beloved teenagers can't say a sentence without saying "like."
The sprouts around me have a similar problem! AND they, like, also like to say "go". Example: "Like, I go, 'Well, what did you expect', and he goes, 'Well, like, how was I supposed to, like, know?'
"So then, like he goes..."
You get, like the drift!
To President Bush's list, I would add something from a feminine point of view:
1. I seem to remember that my skin used to fit, but now...
LOL!! Old age is not for the faint of heart!
And once in awhile I can still get my licks in
Oh, thank you so much for giving us your personal observation of "Bar's" husband. :) After all his years in public service, we think we know those things about him but it is so reassuring to have it confirmed.
Oh, yes, a youthful dreamer, I like that. :)
FOFLOL. Very good. Insert a "y'all" here and there and it sounds exactly like my nieces and nephews.
Calling Dana Carvey! This has to be deliberate self-parody!
Dontcha just love it? LOL
FOFLOL. Well, you know, he is very fond of Dana Carvey. In fact, he and his wife were overnight guests at the White House during 41's term.
BTTT
SO Bush has a speedboat and plays tennis with Chevy Chase. So he's not allowed to talk about those things lest people think he's "flaunting" his wealth? I'm tired of these petty jealousies and all this class envy. I am far from a wealthy man but sometimes I am accused of the same thing when I talk about my new computer or my music collection. I guess because I do pretty well for myself, I'm supposed to be embarrased about it. Well I'm not. And while I can't afford a speedboat or tennis lessons with Chrissie Evert, I'm not going to hold it against those who can.
I always like GHWB.
That's the difference between 20 and 80.
Hell 20 and 40.
Me, too. :)
FOFLOL.
Sorry you can only see the downside of this wonderful article. I sent it to both my children so they will understand better why I need a hand getting out of their vehicles (boats, suvs, etc.)
I know many many people around that age in far more modest circumstances who have wonderful lives.
We may curse our bodies out occasionally, but we still love what we have left.
Your kinship with DU is showing through!
