In my day you never had to lock your door, we couldn't afford doors, we were so poor the mice laid traps for us. Kids today got no respect why only this morning I boxed a young whippersnapper around the ears for standing around the playpark doing nothing but "waiting for mummy" and the 5 year-old brat didnt even have the grace to thank me. Dry your eyes and join the bloody army cry baby. I fought for the country y'know ...during the war blah blah Hitler... mutter mutter Churchill mumble mumble......*falls asleep dribbling on dirty vest*

When I had two gentlemen retirees turn their bar stools around so that they could check me out... Although no one has ever offered me a seniors discount yet so perhaps they thought I was a sweet young virgin! HA! Come and join me, the air here is a bit thin, but chocolate grows on trees and housekeepers work for free!

I can go better than that Mandy!! I was in a night club (this was a year ago) having a great old time dancing with my mates, when a guy came up behind me and started dancing with me. After a while I turned around because he had his hands round my waist, and shock horror!!! it was my own Son. He shouted f**k its my Mum, and ran off. I thought it was really funny, but he hasnt been the same since.

I dont go to them anymore, on request.

TELLULAH! YOU look FABULOUS Hun!

OMG that's a riot! I can picture it all happening in my head, I bet that would make a good movie scene. I know my two won't even dance if I'm in the room! Thank God for the occasional wedding! So, I was at the "Mid-Western Beauty Suppliers Show" and THEY had a booth called "Oh Betty". They sold hair dye so that 'your collar would match your cuffs' (if your collar was bright green or blue!), and their slogan was, "Is Your Betty Ready?" I think the beauty of menopause is that your waistline balloons up and you can't bend over enough to see if your hoo hoo has gone grey or not... Ooooh - time for coffee...

Really Tellulah? Never realised you can get grey pubes from watching the telly!

You know you're getting old when you look at your daughters teen friends and your only thoughts are their mini skirts are completely unsuitable for the weather. :)

Wizard of Waz. Ha! bloody Ha!.

You do make me laugh. See! I told you I come out with some stupid statements. I get it from my Nan, she passed away years ago but was aparantly just as daft as me.

I used to go and see her with my liitle brother in tow, everyday after school. One day she had a large plate of Brazil nuts, that she offered to us. Being the greedy pigs that we were, we scoffed them down. When we got to nearly the end of the plate she said "I only like the chocolate off them", we both looked at each other and made a hasty retreat. Yes you guessed it, she had sucked all the chocolate off the nuts and left them for us.

Eewwwwwwww!! Still cant eat them.

Ewww yuk yuk Tellulah. I'm surprised your nan didn't yell "Wot a feckin liberty!!" at you all. :-)

That reminds me of the story some poor middle-aged lass sent to one of our rags. Went something like this..

"I was in the motorway caff and bought a cofee and Kit Kat and sat down opposite this young man. I took the kit kat from the plate unwrapped it and took a peice and put it down again. The young man smiled. I smiled back.

And then he lifted the kit kat and broke a finger off and ate it. What a cheek I thought. I took another bit and he smiled again....and then took the last bit off the plate and scoffed it!

What a liberty!To teach this young hoolingan manners I grabbed his cream bun and began to eat is slowly and with great relish right in front of his shocked gaze.

Feeling satisfied that I had put him well and truly in his place I left.

When I got to the car when searching my handbag for the keys I found the Kit Kat that I had just bought ..."

#1.

My father, who is 84 this year and lives 300 miles away from me came to visit for a week. Doing a spot of gardening, my next door neighbour asked me over the hedge if he was my brother.

My Aunt who was aged 86 at the time, spent the last few years of her life in a residential home, having completely lost her marbles and gone doolally. I went to visit her during a summer fete that the home had organised. I was queuing up for a cup of tea and a bun in the refreshment tent when another visitor asked me if I was a resident.

Dad and I are still referred to as 'The Brothers' in family circles. I must admit though, he does look extremely good for his age.

Another sign of getting old is when you repeat things over and over again. How about this sign of getting older..it's when you repeat things over and over again. Didn't I just say, that another sign of getting old, is when you repeat things over and over again?

Guilty here!! I do this much too often...lol

Three little old ladies discussing age.

The first one says "You know, my memory is getting so bad, that if I have the fridge door open, I can't remember if I have gone into the fridge to get something, or if I've just put something away!"...

The second old lady says "I know what you mean! If I stop in the landing on the middle of the stairs, sometimes I can't remember if I have gone upstairs to get something, or if I am coming downstairs again!"...

The third little old lady says "Oh, My Dears, I am so sorry for both of You! I've Never had problems like that with My Memory! Knock On Wood!"

She knocks on the table...

"Is somebody at the door?"

TRISH! I almost forgot a good one...

Yep! Recently I went into the dry cleaners and was bitching that I couldn't read my bill because I had just misplaced my glasses. The pre-pubescent girl behind the counter started asking questions like "Are they black?" and "Do they have triangular lens?" and I thought that I had left them behind from a previous visit... NO SUCH LUCK!!! She was just feeding me lines until I clued in that they were on my head...

I'm hoping that she runs into herself in the future... Time is a great leveler!

Birdy, I love that one. About a month ago, I was asking my spouse, where he had put the pencil I had just been writing with. Then realized I couldn't be understood as I had been mumbling through same pencil which was firmly clamped between my teeth!

Uncle Phil, I expect your dad is so pleased he looks like a younger man! And Jamer, great catch on the snow day, I now just see them as a day when I have to shovel the drive.

Only Wizards are born with beards BB. :-p

Did you know that ageing females grow extra hands?

Or haven't you heard of the expression; "Going through the manypaws"?

Us wise wizards know these things.

I have lost a number of family members to dementia and Alzeimer's, and we got through it by trying to keep our sense of humor.

The funniest thing that happened to a friend of ours dealing with this was on a visit to her Grandparents. Her grandfather had been on a slow slide for years and her Grandmother was the main caregiver. He recently had disappeared outside for a few hours at a time, and it had become a huge worry to everyone. They figured out that he had regressed ten years and he was actually out searching for their dog - who had died ten years ago. When my friend visited, she was perplexed and asked her Grandma about the post-notes on the front, back and sliding doors and heard about the Grandfather's recent disappearances. There - on each door - was a post it that said - THE DOG IS DEAD.

It took about an hour to stop the tears from rolling down our faces and the fits of giggles after she told me. But honestly, it you didn't laugh, you'd cry, so laughter through tears is possibly the best answer, right?

If we're talking families here, I remember one evening mum and dad came home from a wedding, dad had had a couple of drinks too many, anyway he went into the kitchen to do his usual thing before going up to bed.

He'd taken his false teeth out and removed his hearing aid, he then put the hearing aid in the glass of steradent and his teeth in the medicine cabinet.

Well you could imagine the laughs we had the next morning when he saw them, and he swore blind we'd done to wind him up! Bless.

Just in case you still weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Here's list of people who are starting college this year across all nations ~ who were born in an around 1989:

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine and they have always had cable. They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show and popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who The Fonz was and they never heard of Mork or where he came from. They don't care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

And finally...they don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Now do you feel old?

xXx
