Thinking out loud.
Lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I realized that, at my age, I don't really care any more.
I thought ... If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
A whale swims all day, only eats
fish, and drinks water, but it is still fat.
A rabbit runs, hops lives outdoors most of its life and only lives 15 years,
while a tortoise doesn't run, lazes about and does mostly nothing, yet it lives
for 150 years. And they tell us to exercise? I don't think so.
Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:
1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.
3. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
5. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?
6. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than it was to get wiser.
7. Some days, you're the top dog, some days you're the hydrant.
8. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.
9. Kids in the back-seat cause accidents.
10. Accidents in the back-seat cause kids.
11. It is hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
12. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.
13. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.
14. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.
15. It is not hard to meet expenses . . . They're everywhere.
16. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . . I go
somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".
17. ...
18. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
19. It is a lot better to be seen than viewed.
20. Have I blogged all this before or did I read it in your blog?
Oh ... before I go ... I just remembered to tell you about something I am doing you might want to tell others about. I have started locally a Dial-a-Prayer service for atheists. You call up the phone number and it rings and rings and rings but nobody answers.
...Victor, thanks for the chuckles.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Tom.

ReplyDeleteSo many truisms; so many smiles!
You would have been a brilliant DJ in my days on the radio. Very good lyrics from Simon & Garfunkel's Sound of Silence. Well remembered, Mevely.
DeleteGod bless always.
I read these to my husband this morning and we laughed and laughed. Funny, how we could relate to some of them. You're the best.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Debby. I am so glad you and your husband enjoyed today's offering.
DeleteGod bless you both.
#9 and #10 are all too true at times, Victor. These are spot on for all of us who are Baby Boomers. Now, if I can just remember what I came here to do . . . Blessings!
ReplyDeleteSome of these are so true, aren't they? If only I could remember where I read them. Was it on your Blog, Martha? Or did I make them up? Is it Christmas yet?
DeleteGod bless you always.
Enjoying your sense of humor, as always!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara. Keep smiling.
DeleteGod bless you.
You do have a sense of humor there - so funny and yet so true.
ReplyDeleteLaughter keeps us young, Sandie.
DeleteGod bless always.

ReplyDeleteSmiles keep us young Shug. Smile always if you can. God bless you and yours.
DeleteMany thanks for the smiles, and quite a few chuckles :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan. God bless you.
DeleteThe postman might just be immortal. Ms. G's old postman, who lives in their neighborhood and retired some years back, still walks most of his old route every single day but Sundays and he's old, but he's thin and as healthy as can be. We think he just might live forever.
ReplyDeleteBeing a postman is a good job; better than walking the streets.
DeleteGod bless, Mimi.
