Hi Ken I AM going for it hun. How can I help myself. I am like an un-stopable train when I get going. Too many are hung up on age. Won't even go a few years above theirs. Life is short and no one know HOw short. My late husband and I, well he was 7 years younger. It never bothered him as he was very secure in himself.
I know guys around 60 years old, they may as well hang "It" up as it is ususeless. I, and this is an warning will keep going until the last nail is put into my coffin. Since I have to by pass my mom, she only made it until 94 !/2 I have 30 years to go yet. Well that is the first plan anyway.
"Life is just a bowl of cherries" la dee la dee la. I just lovvvvvvvvvvvve cherries ha ha
Well there is Jenny, too old ha ha. Just a few days ago a beautision told me I could pass for 61 years of age, now stick That in your pipe and smoke it guys! I will most likely wear your to a frazzle in no time anyway Then you have to look for someone again! Ah life is hard when you run with your head against a brick wall.
Most of my admires are 40-56 years old oh boy. Too be honest some days I am thinking shucks if they don't care, why should I.
Did someone not say in 2012 the world will come to an end? So...........?
An Excerpt from the Introduction, by Richard Ledere
Let's face it -- English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese... One blouse, 2 blice?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a "slim chance" and a "fat chance" be the same, while a "wise man" and "wise guy" are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while "quite a lot" and "quite a few" are alike? How can the weather be "hot as hell" one day and "cold as hell" another?
Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who are spring chickens or who would actually hurt a fly?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?
Now I know why I flunked my English. It's not my fault, the silly language doesn't quite know whether it's coming or going.
The other day I went to the local religious book store, where I saw a HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car, and I'm really glad I did. What an uplifting experience followed!
I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed. That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love Jesus. Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must REALLY love the Lord because pretty soon, he leaned out his window and yelled, "Jesus Christ!" as loud as he could. It was like a football game with him shouting, "GO JESUS CHRIST, GO!!!"
Everyone else started honking, too, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled to all of those loving people. There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could hear him yelling something about a sunny beach, and saw him waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign. So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
Several cars behind, a very nice man stepped out of his car and yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded like, "Mother trucker," or "Mother's from there." Maybe he was from Florida, too. He must really love the Lord. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had changed to yellow, and stepped on the gas. And a good thing I did, because I was the only driver to get across the intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned way out the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good luck sign as I drove away.

When I say the good old days it really was not so good. Yes life was slower, for some strange reason people seemed to have more time. Yet my mother did the laundry for 8 people mostly by hand. Working conditions were not the greatest for most of the working class. People did not live as long as we are today. Medicine has come so far in our time and we haven't seen anything yet. It is nostaliga to think of the past. Yes I am grateful to have grown-up with out a computer and T.V. We played so much more outdoors, things you don't see today.
I believe it serves many things. One thing; remembering some of the not so good things from the past. makes you appreciate the now more. Eventhough for me, many things would not be necessary that we have now.
I agree with you but don't you think there is a lot more to talk about when looking back? Yes the past has made us the way we are today, be it good or bad. So many things were so different when I was growing up.
No phone, no oven, no refridgerator, no washing machine, it was rented by the hour. No dryer, no T.V. Not many owned a camera, our pictures were taken by a street photografer. No car. Nothing was on credit etc. etc. No hip replacements, or new knees, so much better is all this today.
Venere that is a great idea!. We did not have handicam's but we did have recorders. My sister came to visit with her husband and kids and I thought it was a good idea to sing, talk etc. We lived in California then.
This tape was send to Holland. My other sister later told that my dad left the room. We found out later that he knew already that he was dying. He heard the tape in April, in June he was gone.
What made me make this recording at that time? I will never know but it was great as my dad heard us for the last time.
Your idea may hopefully be picked up by other's. Why don't you start a thread about it?
