Another year has passed and we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter and winter seems much colder.
There was a time not long ago when life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand about 'Living in the Past'
We used to go to weddings, football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes, and after-funeral brunches.
We used to have hangovers, from parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches and while the night away.
We used to go out dining, and couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags, come home and take a pill.
We used to go to nightclubs and drink a little booze.
Now we stay home at night and watch the evening news.
That, my friend is how life is and now my tale is told.

So, enjoy each day and live it up... before you're too damned old!
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.
Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in.
It's an age thing.
Here is a riddle for you:
You give someone a $1. You are this person's brother. The person is not your brother.
Who is it?

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:Life is too short for negative drama & petty things. So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly! From one unstable person to another... I hope everyone is happy in your head - we're all doing pretty good in mine!

Loved all of your "old age" wisdoms. So true!
And I want that pull weeds sign for my back door. Only, I don't have a bell. :)
I loved these!!
This is all so good..Especially the old lady and the wine. I didn't get who the person who wasn't the brother was???
You started my Friday the 13th off with a snicker. It's bound to be a good day hereafter.
And the riddle: It's your sister. Right?
i am painting that sign to stick in our front yard. weeds be gone. i love every single one of these today, perhaps because i can relate to them. the thing is all of these are true and all are funny. keep laughing is my motto and yours to
I only know that I am my brother's sister:) Fridays are always great around here Sandie, even Friday the 13th:)
I' m with Granny Annie!
I loved the post, I am not usually up this early, but I am and I have already had my morning chuckles.
I do love the sign, 'Pull Weeds'.
hahahahahahahahahah
These are all so so good!!!! I like the old lady talking to the wine best. I must remember to use that one on Bud next time. Just to see his expression.
I have an award waiting for you
Have a great day.
That getting old hit close to home because it is so true:) I think that brother of mine is "Uncle Sam". Love the sign on the front door..think I may get one of my own.
Hi Sandie ~~ I like the week puller sign. When I was in the Army doing basic training all of us recruits pulled the weeds and topped the grass. I never saw a lawn mower the whole time, just rows and rows of troups squatted down making their way across the grass triming it by hand.
The person getting the dollar is the sister. My sister made a killing off me, her five-year-older brother.
..
These are so funny! You have a marvelous Friday, my friend!
Thanks for the "woo hoo, it's Friday" laughs. You have made it an even better day.
This was awesome!
What's the answer to the riddle? Did I miss it or does the answer come tomorrow?
Thanks for the smile, my friend! Have a fun weekend!

Love all you aging funnies. Actually it's not just funny it is all true as my biggest delight in life in the winter is to sit home and watch the fire burn. Have a good weekend.

I love the old people jokes and stories - maybe because I can relate to them better now!!! Have a happy Friday the 13th.
You are so funny. We all need to laugh and you do an excellant job of providing laughs.
You are giving the money to your sister.

Happy Friday.

Lots of good funnies here. I need one of those weed signs too.
"It's me, talking to the wine." THANKS for the best laugh I've had in a while...thanks!
I love that sign and since I could use some help with all the weeding that needs done here I need one of those :)
Have a great weekend.
Your blog always cheers me up. No matter what awful thing is going on, I can come here and laugh out loud. "It's me ... talking to the wine." Priceless!
What a hoot. Great post.
Hiiiii Sandie! I SO enjoy seeing what you've up your sleeve each Friday. :)
Earlier today, I caught myself getting stressed and stepped outside with the wonder-phone to read your post....
All better!
Have a fabulous weekend@

Hi Sandie! It is good to visit you here. I always have good intentions of visiting and then I get to a few blogs and start reading posts and...time gets way! Sigh!
Hope Easter was beautiful for you and yours. Love and Hugs Anne

Good grief, do you know how far I had to scroll down to post a comment?? You've got a lot of readers, friend!!! :-) I got SUCH a kick out of that first photo and text. I had to share it with my husband. SO FUNNY.
Have a great weekend. The Titanic goes down on ABC tonight. (sent from my husband's computer. mine is STILL not up and running. Grrrr.)
Having had my 65th birthday on Friday, I can so relate to this post and getting older !! Still , as long as we can still be silly . That's the main thing!! xx
these are all so funny!
great stuff on "old age" sayings.
thanks for the chuckles.
xoxo
Just caught up on all your recent posts. Wow, looks like you had some fun last week! Loved all the photos. GS is beginning to look so grown-up. Isn't it funny how they start to lose that "little boy" look?!
Always love your stuff about old(er) age. Not that I can relate or anything...
And, the answer to the riddle: Your sister. OR...you are both monks, so he's your "brother" but not your actual brother??
What a fun post. Thanks for the laughs. Hope your having a Happy Sundday. Love, Debby
Must be the sister...but I had to think a minute.
I loved that in cahoots/cognito/sane thing...I wish I'd wrote it! hahaha
I made a very sinful looking ice cream cone.
