It appears I’m on an “old” kick, here lately. Don’t know why – just seem to be attracting “old” jokes right now. Maybe the Universe hears my knees popping when I get up and move around or my groan as Gravity grabs me and slams my ass onto Mother Earth each morning as I get out of bed.

Don’t know, but I sure have been feeling old. But feeling old and looking old are two different things. Speaking of…

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, “Surely I can’t look THAT old?!”

Well…you’ll love this one:

My friend, Karen, sent this to me via email today:

The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1992.

I was using my new neck massager the other day and said, to no one in particular, “Shoot…now all I need is a new back massager for my chair and one of those foot massager gizmos for under my desk, and I’ll be set!”

We live in the same city, but I haven’t laid eyes on her since my backyard project in May.
Ridiculous.
This picture was part of my Christmas present from her this year. You see, she knows me…well. She bought a beautiful silver and glass picture frame and then had one of my kids take this picture [...]
