Very moving ceremony this morning. For a town of about 750 we had a turn up of over 1000. Lots of tourists stopped and joined up. Almost lost it a few times. Gerald.
Tells the wife "I am going into the kitchen to get some ice cream and fruit".
The wife says "I will have some too, but I also want cream and sprinkle nuts on the top. " She adds "Now write it down as you have a terrible memory and I don't want you to forget" He laughs and ignores her.
5 mins later he returns with 2 plates of scrambled eggs on toast.
She yells "you old fool I told you that you'd forget! Where's the tomato sauce" ?
Velvet You surprise me.I thought that the map would show him the way to the old peoples home.
My darling wife always writes a shopping list for when we do our weekly trip to the supermarket.
When we get there I ask her for it and guess what? she has managed to leave it on the kitchen bench.
Ever seen an old man fumbling his way thru the aisles, grabbing what he thinks we need and after spending 100's of dollars arrives home with bags of goods, duplications of what we already have.
I must love her though as I let her sneak into my bed every night.
Burrs oh oh so true and story of my life! Absolutely rolled up. Keep 'em coming. I imagine for Australua and New Zealand yesterday must have been very moving. Much as the 11th hour of the 11th day is in UK.
Oh Sorry I have trouble with the 24 hour clock in UK, never mind different time zones round the world. I always think 16.30 is 6.30 and have been known to book coach from airport for before plane has landed. My sons now book all my travel arrangements, they reckon it is easier in the long run.
There is always some poor soul out there you can blame.
I have 7 and 3/4 grand children (the last is still cooking in the oven) and you have no idea how much blame is proportioned to them, especially when I cannot find things.
My darling wife has her own way of dealing with "clangers"
She had the audacity to accuse me of saying something which I did not do and after verification of same by a third party her reply was "Well I forgive you"
They have a way of twisting things to come out on top even when they are Dare I say WRONG (have to type this quietly in case she ,who must be obeyed, hears me.)
Terrible when you start to type something in a reply and then forget who you are sending it to! More disturbing for me is when I cannot remember whether I have sent it or not!!
If you hold the cursor over the first letter,hold the l/h button down and run the cursor down to the last letter of the message everything should turn blue (or some other colour)
Right click anywhere in the coloured area and it will will ask you "Copy"
click Copy
If you want to send an email, open up "compose"and right click any where in the text message area and hit paste then the message should appear.
This will not work if you use the right button for any other reason prior to using it for the pasting of the message..
Thanks so much. I have only just started to copy and paste, and one instruction I. Followed from Youtube said copy to notes which I do, but its a bit hit and miss. It seems I have to delete the previous note before adding the next. I am using an apple ipad.
So So True. I think that we get to the age that we do not feel holding back something is really worth all the trouble. We are not grumpy but more honest ?
Hi Will, (pause II ), (play >) just had to scroll to the top of the page as I forgot what you wrote.
What you say brought a smile to my face but after having a think I'm worried that it brought a smile to my face as I can relate most of it to myself.
I am also at the stage that if I get up to do something I look for other jobs to do as well so that I don't have to keep getting up and down.
It is worth remembering (if you can) that if you loose something and then find it the first thing you should do after finding it is to stop looking for it.
John, I can identify with that. As I move about the house, I am thinking, now if I take that back to the bedroom, I can get so and so from the kitchen on the way. I never save myself any walking though, because I usually forget the first reason I was moving for. Lol if you can make sense of that you are doing ok! Iris x
I think I remember reading somewhere that you know your getting old when you bend down to tie up your shoelaces, and look around to see if there is anything else you can do while you're down there!
Interesting idea,though I am trying to visualise what else one would do apart from trying to find something to grab hold of in order to unbend.
When I was young we used to have the 5 second rule, that is if you dropped it (food) and you could retrieve it within 5 secs then it would be alright to eat. You see it takes over 5 secs for the germs to latch on to it.
Now I am old I have changed it to the 10 sec rule as it takes me 5 secs just to bend over.
Seems these days I have a "to do list" and I start with great intentions, but no sooner than I start, i realise that another job on then list becomes visible, so I stop the first and start on the second. This goes on until night time when I go indoors, absolutely "buggared" without managing to finish one job.
Oh well tomorrow is another day. Maybe I need to rest tomorrow, which reminds me. Wife asks hubby "What are you going to do today" "Nothing"
"But you did that yesterday" "I know but I haven't finished yet"
The world can certainly use a good dose of humor at the moment.
I have always wondered what would happen if the TV stations only showed "good " news on their programs. I suppose many would be disappointed as they seem to thrive on other peoples misfortune.
What a funny, and, for most of the time, a sad world we live in.
Must be one of the best posts ever for humour, involving everyone but all on a similar topic, getting old can be hard work, especially with lung conditions but if you can laugh at yourself (and others) in a gentle way it is wonderful!
My wife's Grandfather spent a weekend with us several years ago and in the morning he went from room to room turning on all the lights,complaining how dark it was. Yes he had my sunny's on.
Good afternoon, I'm just reading your 17, I'm hoping joking replies for the day. They are very entertaining for the soul to those who need a good laugh.
Ok, that's great we do need some kind of happiness in our life and if a laugh a day helps that's wonderful. Sorry to hear about your wife, but with your support I know she is in great hands and will be fine. Enjoy your day!
