You're As Old As You Feel.....

You do know that some older people have rather rude habits. We see a lot of this when on the cruise ships. Lots of I've lived longer than you and don't have much time left so get the Hell out of my way. My regular complaint is elevator etiquette, as in, there is none. Wanda and I use the stairs whenever we can. However, once in a while we can't, so in the elevators we go. Is it too much to ask? Would you please wait until I get out of the lift before you cram you ass in, thank you.

Now, I am getting older and I don't know how much time I have left. But, I try to relax, slow down, and never hurry. My blood pressure is much lower when I do this. I look behind me in store check out lines. If someone has a few items I invite them to go before me. What's another minute or two in the grand scheme of things? 

Yesterday after I posted the blog I drove back to my doctors office and dropped off their copy of the demand letter. I also called the adjuster, "Just want to let you know I received two copies of the letter, I said. The doctors office did not get theirs since they both came to me." 

It's really frustrating to know, without a shred of doubt, that the insurance people screwed up. That their error will, and is, affecting me. And, no matter what I do, they'll never admit the mistake or do anything to rectify it. So, I try to relax, slow down, and not as some say, get my knickers in a twist. Knickers? I'm watching The Open from England, I'm so easily influenced.

Normally I would say, "Get my underpants in a knot."

"If a person thinks hard enough, digs deep enough, and is highly motivated, they can find a rational explanation for just about anything."

A woman who allegedly left the scene of a minor traffic crash told police she did it because she didn't want her ice cream to melt.

Police say a vehicle was stopped in the westbound lane of an Arkansas Highway when it was reportedly rear-ended. The woman did not stay at the scene but kept going, the other driver called police and followed her home.

When questioned she told police she didn't think there was enough damage to merit stopping. She also said she didn't want her ice cream to melt. She was cited for following too closely and leaving the scene of an accident.

As a side note, she had two quarts of ice cream, black cherry and pistachio. 

A Kailua-Kona couple is charged with lewdness after officers caught them having sex on a public sidewalk.

Police say the 35-year-old man and 33-year-old woman were having sex in front of a Kona business building.


A police spokeswoman says the woman spit and cursed at an officer who stopped the afternoon copulation. They were both charged with open lewdness, a petty misdemeanor. She was also charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and with stealing a $2 blouse from a Salvation Army thrift store.


"We were bored waiting for the office to open. It seemed like a good way to kill a couple of minutes, she said. I'm sorry I spit at the cop but he could have waited until we were done." It wasn't clear why she needed the blouse.


Come On Man.....Fred Willard caught with his pants down in an adult theater in LA? I guess you're never too old for a quickie, even if you don't have a partner. You can check out a story on the 72 year old actor, or not.


Never a dull moment around Shulak Manor.


She said, "Ovaltine says Sunday is cow appreciation day."
He heard, Ovaltine says Sunday is towel appreciation day.


Discussing Madam Hooch a character in the Harry Potter series:


She said, "Wasn't she in 2, for the other Quidditch match?"
He heard, Would you want to pursue the other place mat? 


By the way, Wanda and I have always used cloth place mats and napkins. Yes, they need to go in the washing machine and when we can't use the cloths line, the dryer. Overall, I think we're saving resources not using paper and the TV Tables look much better and have more class.


Talking about taking the car in for an oil change:


She said, "You can walk up to the parkway."
He heard, You can walk up to the car place.


Another Thursday is here. I am very proud of my effort with the blog. To date there have been three hundred eighty eight entries. The average daily views are around forty. Optimistically forty people read each blog, on the other hand, it could be two people reading it twenty times a day. Whatever the case I enjoy writing it. 


I would love to have a commonality, like the cook a different dish every day girl. Her blog became a book that became a movie. But, I never will. Because I don't think that way. I can't imagine doing something of interest every day for a year. Ya sure, I could blog about what I ate or about flossing or brushing my teeth. I try to remember to put moisturizing drops in my eyes every day, I wonder, would that work? 


Until I come up with that once in a lifetime flash of brilliance I'll keep doing this. Monday through Thursday I'll try to find something entertaining to write. That is, as long as you keep reading. After all, I'm not doing this for my health. Hey, on second thought, maybe I am?
