...yup, you gotta keep the juices flowing...keep moving. ...and like I told rick, tote is just playing around and is not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.
My terminal military assignment was as an Instructor in the AS Army TAMMS & PLL Course at Fort Lee Virginia. Due to my seniority I was placed in charge of class graduation ceremonies. So I'd get guest speakers to address a graduation class prior to the actual ceremony. For one graduation I lined up the Senior Ranking Quartermaster person at Fort Lee, the man had done 30 in the Army plus Civil Service, looked old enough to have been a 2nd Lieutenant on General Meigs Staff during the Civil War. The man was sharp as a tack and on that day he addressed all those young Privates saying I probably look old as dirt to you but I feel advantaged because I already know what you will experience because I have. It capped off what turned out to be an excellent graduation. I always remember that lesson I learned. I don't take offense if someone jives me about age because I always think back to that mans speech.
Ron I would think after all these years you would have picked up on my warped sense of humor. I was just poking back. It's all good.
I never claimed to have Wisdom....senility? LMAO....I'm not senile just one pissed off forgetful old fart. Senile, I forget, what is that? ah, I remember, I DENY that accusation....and deflect it too......I'm not senile, just demented, like in dementia, and I deny and deflect that too.... My doctor told me I don't have onset of Alzheimer's either....he said only old men named Al have Heimers...!!!
Tom, I called AARP for you today, you've got an Honorary Membership and Card, on the way. This way you can legally hold our bed side urine bottles, and change our bed pans....LMAO.... Honestly, i wouldn't use a bed pan if it were the only thing to take a dump in. I'd crawl to the toilet, or blow it all out my nose..... When I had my back surgery in 04, the RN brought a bed pan in, about the only thing I clearly recall that week, my reply- "get that damn thing out of here, if you think I'm going to use that, your out of your bleeping mind". Tho' walking wasn't just painful, it was a miracle, and I had no problem walking an inch per step, to take care of business. Sorry, if that was to visceral or graphic, more than you needed or wanted to know or hear.... There is no substitute for determination....!!!
Sounds like your in great shape Michael. I know you know its a helluva lot easier to stay in shape, than lose it, then try to get it back....no doubt, Kudos to you...! Me, my problem, was I thought I was invincible, until I turned 35, and the wheels began to fall off....moreso from over-aggressive sports play in my youth-(30 yrs. young- prior)....A person, more than pays for the sins or aggressions; (a Butkus mentality) I had as a kid, long before I knew who Butkus was). An old timer, of great wisdom once said to me on age: "If you did not know the day, year, decade of your birth, and no one else knew when you were born either. Then how old would you be"? .... I believe his point, may of been, age is a frame of mind....maybe....? Sounds good anyway...! LOL...
Your AARP card is coming to Steve.....I wanted its arrival to surprise you, cuz there's a adult potty chair coming with it too....!
Hey Rick, that's the line I use.....LOL... Only prob is lately people tell me I don't look 50 anymore....must be the high and tight hair cut, hasn't been a black hair since silver replaced it all 20 years ago. So, thats not it, might be because I crawl even in public...! I am only 29 at heart tho'....
Or maybe its because I ride my Tibetan Mastiff seeing eye dog backwards....!!! Hell I'm not sure its even a Dog, could be a Shetland Pony, "major clean up in Aisle 3 immediately please".....!!!
Yep and at 20 we all thought we were immortal. Truth is I have factored common sense into daily routines and will also concede that I have been damn lucky to boot.
It may also be the sandles with the white ankle socks. Not to mention the daisy duke denim shorts, the head band & the torn woodstock tee shirt. And no I haven't been peeking in your closet.
