Ageing Gracefully

[j.sabourn]

If you ever see me jogging , please kill whatever is chasing me.
1. For the past 25 years my wife has been complaining about me not putting the cap back on the toothpaste. This anniversary I decided change this bad habit and make my wife happy. For a week I was diligent and always capping the toothpaste. I was expecting my wife to thank me, but she never did. Finally yesterday while having dinner , she turned and looked at me and said “ Why have you stopped brushing your teeth ?”.
Marriage is a difficult relationship I tell you.
2 I just got a full tank of gas for $22 ! Granted it was for my lawn mower, but I’m trying to stay positive.
3. Growing your own tomatoes is the best way to devote 3 months of your life to saving $2.11
4 I don’t a,ways carry all the groceries on one arm, but when I do, my keys are in the wrong pocket.
5 Jellyfish have survived for 650 million years, despite not having a brain, this gives so many people hope.

HI John.
I have stopped paying the $22 to fill my mower, I now pay a bloke $70 to cut the lawn.

Apart from being exhausted, financially unstable, nearing a mental breakdown, and bring fat, everything is great, thanks.
Remember what the valet who parked your car looks like , because we do not have valet parking.

I saved a lot of money by getting rid of the lawn, put down stones.
But her indoors complains as she enjoyed mowing it.
Sold the chainsaw as she was not interested in using it, said the smell of petrol put her off.
But what is graceful about aging, you take your teeth out to clean them, no longer wear socks as you cannot reach your feet, your back goes out more than you do.
Oh the joys of aging........................Not.!!!.

Getting old is an odd situation for me.
I can still climb a ladder, did so this morning to fix a broken tile.
Still use a wheel barrow, moved 1.5 meters of stones some 25 meters in just over an hour, consider that I am still fairly fit.

But cannot put on socks or cut my toe nails.
I find my feet are too far away from my hands and the hinge in my back need oil or a service.

Growing old gracefully!! no bluddy chance !! with a bit of luck may go out on the dance floor, may upset the others, but that's life! (or was!)

Let’s hope there’s someone dancing who knows how to put you in the recovery position Ivan . I’ve had 3 falls since broke the hip, at 3 is what I will only admit to. What annoys me is everyone especially in a shopping centre wants to get you on your feet . The last one which I will admit to was the reason I think I broke 3 ribs. Well intentioned as they are would have preferred to wait and sound myself out before committing myself back on the pins. Don’t think I could manage the Hokey Dokey these days, and the Miltary Two Step is definetley a no goer. Keep dancing , if they have dancing classes upstairs may join you. Cheers JS
