Stop you guys. I can’t tell who’s who anymore. I’m so confused. This is all so cruel and evil.
Yay Fly! You’re older that me too! And always will be!
To be honest though, I was born a curmudgeon, so I need not earn the distinction with age.
Well according to my parents it was a particularly rough voyage on the Cross-Channel Ferry. Now how’s that for a sea-sickness cure? ![]()
Happy Birthday to my favorite Fly!
Have a great day, you curmudgeon you ![]()
Happy Birthday Fly! ![]()
I just turned 50 in January - same age as Disneyland!
I would say a curmudgeon is someone who still owns and listens to records
- when I slip up and talk about new “records” my daughter rolls her eyes and immediately informs me “CDs, mom.”
Have a fun day!
A belated Happy Birthday:
The Old ABCs
A is for Apple, and B is for Boat, That used to be right, But now it won’t float!
Age before Beauty is what we once said, But let’s be a bit more real instead.
Now:
A is for arthritis;
B is the bad back,
C is the chest pains, perhaps car-d-iac?
D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight, can’t read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid retention,
G is for gas which I’d rather not mention.
H is high blood pressure–I’d rather it low;
I for incisions with scars you can show.
J is for joints, out of socket, won’t mend,
K is for knees that crack when they bend.
L for libido, what happened to sex?
M is for memory, I forget what comes next
N is neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O is for osteo, the bones that don’t grow!
P for prescriptions, I have quite a few, (Just give me a pill and I’ll be good as new!)
Q is for queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R for reflux, one meal turns to two.
S for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T for Tinnitus, there’s bells in my ears!
U is for urinary, big troubles with flow;
V is for vertigo, that’s “dizzy,” you know.
W is for worry, NOW what’s going 'round?
X is for X ray, and what might be found.
Y is another year I’m left here behind,
Z is for zest that I still have-- in my mind.
I’ve survived all the symptoms, my body’s deployed, and I’ve kept twenty-six doctors’ fully employed!

Nah… you’re still just a wee whipper-snapper…
And I’m only enough older than you to say that with impunity… ![]()
And here I was about to accuse him of being an old goat ![]()
I’ve got to do it now - I’ll be 46 myself in a couple of months. ![]()
missy:
Hmmmm - wonder what always happens nine months earlier???
Well according to my parents it was a particularly rough voyage on the Cross-Channel Ferry. Now how’s that for a sea-sickness cure?
Ewww! I can’t believe your parents told you that.
Happy Birthday to all people born in February!!

Your forties are great! You’re old enough to act like a curmudgeon, but young enough to not…QUITE…feel like one yet!
The other day I dropped some money in a homeless guy’s hat, and he said “thanks Granny.” Ouch!
