an elderly chap went to the doctor with hearing problems, after the doctor gave him the various hearing tests,he then supplied him with a hearing aid which cured his problem completely.
on his next visit to the doctors he said, "i cant believe this, for the first time in years my hearing is perfect"
" i am so pleased for you, i bet your family will be ever so pleased" said the doctor,
the elderly chap replied " oh!! i havent told the family yet,,,,,,,,,,
i just sit there and listen to all their conversations"
"in fact ive changed my will three times this week!!"
p,s the pic above is of me and my dad ,,,,taken over 60 years ago,, it still takes pride of place in my cabinet yet

Nice one Jimmy, I'm lucky enough to still have my mum and dad still around, their both 80 now and fitter than me which I would never have seen coming 4 years ago before I fell ill.
That's a lovely photo of you and your dad and the words that go with it, I can see why you treasure it.
The suns shinning in Malvern today and I hope it is down your way to. Tony.
hi dall , thanks tony, aye im a bit like you, the old mother is still living in her 90,s, has her probs, but is better than me,, and like you, just a 2-3 years ago, would have never thought i would finish like this.!!
the sun was shining here in scotland this morning bot brrrr its turned cold now,,
aye i have kept that photo through house fires etc, if it could only talk lol:),, all the best tony,,, jimmy
hi plumbob, yes , it still to this day brings a lump to my throat, but they are really lovely words, i was about 22 when i lost my dad, but have very happy memories of him, he liked a good joke wish i had one lol:),, all the best,,jimmy
I think as we get older we miss our parents more and would love to just talk to them. They are the one who truly cared about us through thick and thin and as time goes on we appreciate them more for all they did for us. Hope you are keeping well and looking after yourself. Sara xx
hi butterfly, truer words you could not have said, glad you had a wee smile, and liked the old photo,, of when i was a nice wee boy lol :),, hope your keeping well, room for improvement my end,,,, but never mind welle get there in the end thanks for the post sara,, take care,,jimmy xxx
Oh Jimmy liked the joke love the photo I still miss mine too, even at my age, especially my Mum. Nobody loves you like your Mum or looks after you when you are ill with that extra mile. Her birthday, Christmas and the anniversary of her passing always make me sad but grateful to for such a wonderful Mum. xx
hi suzy, glad you had a wee smile, and glad you liked the old photo, ,, again its true what you say, undying love,from mum or dad,, their the ones that go the extra mile, so sad about your mum, theres no doubt about it, you feel it at special times,,, but think of the memories,, golden they are:),, kind regards suzy,,jimmy xxx
