The Old Folks Home

Because we're all getting older. I didn't mean to; it snuck up on me and just kind of happened.

It does sneak up on us!

and the 'cure' is worse than the problem. Good morning, OF.

The cockerel is crowing. He's not even a year old. What is that in bird years--a teenager? No wonder he has a lot to say! Good morning, everyone.

Mine start crowing by 4 months.. I've been serenaded this morning by the roosters, not the least which is KE the bantam (it's hilarious compared to the 'big guys') and the hens singing their song.. Bet I have a boatload of eggs this morning, or they were just trying to get me to come out sooner.

Morning OF... Growing older is great, the other option isn't an option at all.

You should try Egyptian Fayoumis. They start crowing at 4-5 WEEKS and never shut up. It's so funny to see these scraggly barely feathered out babies stand on their little toes and croak out a squeaky crow.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning OF's, I'm not old just high mileage.

My brother had some of those. I guess I was neve around when they were that young.

I don't mind growing older, but I refuse to grow old!

Here, if you say you are 50, it's a compliment for someone to say, "You don't look a day over 45." In Japan, where they revere age, a compliment would be, "You look every bit of 55." Or so I read many years ago. I also read, "Never regret growing older. Many people don't get the chance."

Someone was giving me grief when I turned 40. I told him, "My step-dad is 88, and I bet he'd LOVE to be 40 again. So, this is the year I GET TO BE 40!!! Wooohooo!"

This is the year I get to be 59! Wooohooo!

Good morning everyone.

He's been crowing for months, but I like hearing him. He got his name from those Big Ben windup alarm clocks, because he feels it's his duty to crow in the mornings.

Enjoy it. I spent the day (week?) in a bad mood when I turned 60. Don't feel 60, don't know how I got here so fast, but the kids in the stores automatically give me a senior discount and there's another birthday headed my way this summer. The train is accelerating!
