You Know You’re An Old Fart When...(this is an ellipsis)

Looking at the guide for upcoming 2019 Christmas specials and you don’t know any of the singers or groups.

You know you’re an old fart when you can sing the words from “Frosty the Snowman” when you’re past 70

You know you’re and old fart when you can tell the story and go around the house singing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” When you’re past 70

You know you’re an old fart when you can visualize, sing the song from “The Little Drummer Boy” and get misty eyed when you’re past 70

Ho-Hum

Where are Andy Williams, Perry Como (singing Ave Maria), Pavarotti, et al

An oldie: I’ve tried to find a suitable exercise video for women my age, but they haven’t made one called “Buns of Putty.”

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

Exercise? What is exercise? Running to the toilet before it starts running down your leg! Damn Kegel exercise ain’t cutting it!🙅‍♀️

You just need to set up your computer in the bathroom. Problem solved!

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

I don’t need my computer. My iPad is joined to my hip. Of course it protrudes out more now. It visits the potty room as much as I do.

[–] GlenEllyn (21411) 5 years ago

Okay, then. That's a visual I probably don't need. 😬

...everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

I still can’t figure out why hair starts growing out of the ears. But, you lose it elsewhere and dang that thing is ugly!

[–] GlenEllyn (21411) 5 years ago

What's really depressing is when things hurt or stop working, and you realize it's never going to get any better - that's it - you gotta learn to live with it.

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

With that I must say good evening. It’s after 11:00 and it’s an ordeal getting in and out of that damn tub. We’ll pick thus up later. You are good!

When "stopping to smell the roses" has become the norm instead of the exception.

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

I wish had some roses to smell, but if I leaned over to smell them I probably would fall into the thorny things!

I just ran in place for ten seconds. Everything shook like a volcano and I got a cramp in my leg. Getting older is awesome. 🙄

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

Ain’t that the truth! 🙄

[–] db20db (16735) 5 years ago

...you can remember too much about The Andy Griffith Show.

[–] GlenEllyn (21411) 5 years ago

Amen!

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

My memory is just a memory! 🥺

[–] GlenEllyn (21411) 5 years ago

By the time I get used to how old I am, I'm ten years older than that.

[–] GlenEllyn (21411) 5 years ago

...talking about getting older stops being cute and starts making you think, "Oh crap, I really am getting older."

[–] db20db (16735) 5 years ago

...Cocoon is a go-to movie for hope and inspiration.

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

I’m back and I smell like a field of lavender! Aromatherapy does wonders...so they say. I’m still looking for the wonders. Have we lost Miss GlenE for the evening or morning where ever people are?

As far as Cocoon goes, I wish I had access to that pool!

[–] db20db (16735) 5 years ago

Speaking of bath, an epsom salts one does wonders for people of all ages.

[–] kspkap (13396) 5 years ago

Oh, those go in my soak baths along with lavender goat milk bubble bath, lavender oil drops, lavender soap and me! Epsom salts have magnesium which helps relieve muscle cramps.

With that, I must say goodnight. Parting is such sweet sorrow. I almost typed farting! ☺️
