    Hilarious ... LOL. One thing: I can't figure out what else you could do down there. Pick up debris?
    Perhaps you will tie someone elses shoe? Scrape gum with a pocket knife. Hmmmm? Whatever you made my day.
    I'm all messed up today. Real bad.

    No your fine LOL

    You got that right!

    michmar118 - lucky you helps with so many things especially technology. You do not need to ask "have I lived half my life" as you go on life takes on a different perspective - perhaps not all bad.

    Ann ... I'm always calling myself with my other line.
    Poppy3

    This memory thing - how bad is this - put something down and takes me forever to find. I even think I am suffering from dementia at moments especially during a conversation and I cannot remember names.
    itsmee

    dopey, we need to talk. I have a pretty good vocabulary and it’s a damn good thing. If I can’t remember a word, I have a substitute. Sometimes the word I pick makes me sound kinda snooty. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

    I hope we all remember these conversations, they were FOUR months ago.
    Ann

    Itsme, I think its the air we breathe.
    Poppy3

    itsmee - I really do not know how to get round this conversation thing - problem is I remember in retrospect - when it is too late.
    Poppy3

    Ann - do you know that I have just yes just after six days had the engineer to get me back on line and the first thing I looked at was this. I have many mobile phones which I only have for emergency - have a new one cheap only but have lost the charger and I have looked everywhere - I am on my last legs from looking so bad do you not think. Also engineer here and cannot find the glasses from last night and =what is worse I have so many- oh my - life goes on.

    Tommyh

    I grunt & I groan.Too bad! They can all put up with it.LMAO
    mycatsmom

    or grunt when you plop yourself down. My dad used to do that. LOL. It was kind of irritating.
    Jenn

    My hubby does it but he broke is leg and it hurts to sit and get up now.. So I give him a pass.... (tib/fib fracture...ouch)
    itsmee

    nobody on this site is allowed to grunt. Grunt?! Ho no.

    When my grand children call me "Yeh Yeh" (grandpa in Chinese).  Soon they will hold my hand when crossing roads. 

    When I try to open a jar, move furniture, or any of the hundred things I use to do so effortlessly. Now I need help! That burns me up! Youth is wasted on the young! They don't know what to do with it till it's to late. Pity you can't start off old and grow young!

    Daisy how right you are about this energy thing.

    Like the one "God grant me the grace to change the things I can, to accept the things I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference" - if that is right. My Mother was always quoting this.

    Go to the fridge to get something, open the door and i have forgotten what i wanted. i am getting a bit worried about this as it has been happening often.

    Benchong

    We are in the same boat!
    Poppy3

    Don't worry this happens quite often to relatively younger people too. Go to a room for something and have to repeat the trip or stand there saying what did I come here to get.
    Poppy3

    bulletman - guess what - my cousin told me only yesterday - (when I said I lost the charger to the cell phone can't really use them anyway needed it when my internet went down) that she once lost her car keys and looked for two hours and where were they in the FRIDGE!

    When you're called Ma'am. Once when I was 27 this really snotty nurse said, "Ma'am have your reached Menopause." (Fortunately I didn't know what "menopause" was. I found out later and wanted to go back and .... and what ... Oh, I don't know. 

    Lupe

    I was called Ma'am at 18!!

    Lupe: What state are you in. I live in California and the "rules" might be different.

    In my day - there I go - Madams ran brothels but here they call me Madam in the shops this is out of politeness but confirms to me that they see me as old. Just another affirmation. Oh Dear.
    leeroy

    So true, I remember when the first person called me SIR, I almost died... Not really, but I haven't been back to that grocery since, lol.

    You go to bed every night at 8:00 because you're tired, and get up at 3:00 because you can't sleep.

    mycatsmom

    Flip, I had to laff, b/c my best frind, Carol does this every night, then complains about it. And my frined,Steve's mother does this. LOL
    itsmee

    I do this.
    Poppy3

    Me too if not worse - sometimes go to bed at 5am - usually wake two hours consistently later - the old brain remembers to do this? I go back to sleep though and wake up so late - Oh just ain't natural!!!! and I take sleeping tablets - very few GPs here will give these - perhaps the herbal type ones though - this add to forgetfulness.

     " When you begin sentences with  (When I was your age!......) "

    itsmee

    That's one of the worst. I have bitten my tongue over it many times.
    mycatsmom

    oh oh . I did that lately....more than once :-\
    Poppy3

    I do this too but I say "When I was young" Would you believe it doesn't help today 2.25pm 10/12/12 there is an add of an old woman on this page for life insurance - just a reminder I guess,can do without this reminder.

    When your back in Diapers.

    Hopefully - won't happen to any of us.

    Yes dad59 - that's BAD. I am sure many of us have this too huh.

    "Young (punks) pass you up while driving, &  yell to you; " GET A HORSE ! "

    Poppy3

    YEAH - so annoying PANDA and I am sure you are not that old but when they see me this old thing and a woman toboot they have to drive on my tail which so annoys me or overtake to stop at the lights in front of me. Where are they going - I have been driving for years and do not drive unnecessarily slowly or unfortunately look my age. I have before now got out of the car and asked "where are you going". Equally annoying people may I say I have only noticed men in this context think they are on a race track they drive so fast.

    WHEN YOU CAN TRUST FARTS LESS AND LESS

    Spaceghost

    Ha ha, on the movie " The Bucket List" Jack Nicholson said NEVER trust a fart.
    Poppy3

    Really - don't remember that one Spaceghost. Clever man.
    Poppy3

    Spaceghost - he also said in "As Good As It Gets" - "I'm dying here and you're describing the water". Or is it "I'm drowning here and you are describing the water"? Yeah guess that's it but like the dying bit as people can be dying and the conversation re their feelings can be diverted by the listener - conveniently.

    when you like ringles are coming out and you are geting white hair

    that starts at about 35 or 40 !

    Oh Boy! I am getting old.I have been getting all of these answers & couldn't find them.Not realizing that they had gone onto page 2


    I guess the last laugh IS on me!


    Still LMAO!!

    when your child asks what the lines around your eyes are and you tell him they are laugh lines,  he asks you to stop laughing so much;)

    Poppy3

    Umbriel - you are a strange sort of guy - clever - but at moments a weird sense of humour.

    This has been a good laugh!!  You know you are getting old when you can't laugh anymore!  Especially at yourself.
