The Old Folks Home

[bruceha2000]

I'm not the average 67 year old woman.

Understatement of the year!

Okay took upon myself to look Deb D

Thank you Penny. I hope she gets better and home soon, she's been waiting so long to move back to her house!

Always a fan of chocolate here also no men just do not get it

Speak for your own men I like chocolate but do prefer dark over milk.

they charge 70 dollars just to come and evaluate---may or may not be able to fix it that day!!

IF they can fix it for much less than the cost of a new appliance.

By now, she's stretched almost completely across the middle of the bed. I was curled up in a tight ball, towards the top of the bed, like a contortionist.

Seems you and the cat have swapped places in the "how the species sleeps" description.

Sooooo, what is the average 67 year old woman like? I musta missed that when I was in High School. Nearly 69 and still cranking out the work outside and inside. Could use some help painting the house, but I'll get 'er done!

I am not there yes just 60 necks still has not closed off so still cranking out

Penny, Penny, Penny. Scratching your eye outside of the normal is a no-no, at least that is what my husband tells me,

I was working on the bunk beds for the cattle dogs today and told him that our table saw is a gold mine for eye doctors....they are always blowing sawdust in my eyes even with glasses on. He asked me where my safety goggles were and I mumbled something about....... don'tknowcan'tfindthemthinkthinktheyarebrokenpleaseordermesomefromAmazon.......and kept on cutting the board I was working with.

He just shook his head at me and quietly left the building.

I know quite a few ladies in their late 60s who are like me, still building things, gardening, defying or trying to defy aging. For some reason I seem to remember the women in the rehab center where I used to work. Many were younger than I am now. I even took care of a few that I went to high school with. Then there are the ladies I know who are just happy to sit in the living room and watch the soaps every day.

I told my husband if he ever catches me doing that check my pulse because it means I died suddenly, fell on the couch and hit the remote to the TV. Same if I ever caught him watching football on TV. Just not in our genetic make ups.

It is good that you keep going through the arthritis!

Hey Grandma got a TV oh my she loved her soaps never made me watch them but geez ... To this day do not turn them on .. I am guilty of a few shows at night ..
not soap style ever .. We both refuse to give up Cap is there beside us ..
Never say never or have to push it

What's that old saying? I'll sleep when I'm dead?

I seriously have developed a different attitude about life. DH and I were talking about it yesterday. Logically speaking, we could both live into our late 80s, or later giving us another twenty years plus on this earth. I plan to enjoy those 20+ years to the best of my ability.

Maybe the pandemic has helped with the new appreciation of life and the importance of home.

I may wind up in a wheelchair ( I've already told my husband that I want a mobility scooter tricked out with turf tires) but I'll be out there racing with it and laughing like a crazy woman when I do! and having the time of my life!

 

[bruceha2000]

Same here, things would have to be REALLY crazy if I were sitting here watching football on the TV. Generally true regardless but even more so since we don't have any sort of TV reception device

Hey Grandma got a TV oh my she loved her soaps never made me watch them but geez

My sister watched them in High school. I could wander in after not seeing one on for a couple of months and nothing had changed. The "plot" is (was) always the same no matter which one she was watching.
Oh, that's the bitchy lady, that's the "Romeo", that's the poor naive woman who gets taken advantage of.

I've already told my husband that I want a mobility scooter tricked out with turf tires

Oh HECK no! How are you gonna pull trees out of the woods with turf tires, you need at least R4s.

I don't watch TV period and haven't for years. My sister was paying for cable to keep our father occupied and in one place (his favorite chair). He passed away years ago and I told her I never watch tv. She still pays for cable
