Duke, would you consider putting in a Senior forum for us that are coming down (slowly) on the other side of the hill?
Issues like Menopause, Alzheimers, Dementia, Death, Illness could be discussed.
I'm probably your most senior member (don't even think of mentioning the word "oldest" or I will come after you with my cane!
) so maybe I would be the only one posting these issues with myself.
Speaking of Seniors...here's a few things passed around our Coffee table at work today...maybe you've already read this or maybe not...but here it is again...us Seniors like to repeat ourselves...
What are Senior's Worth?---We are Worth a Fortune!
Remember, old folks are worth a fortune! With silver in our hair, gold in our teeth, stones in our kidneys, lead in our feet and gas in our stomachs.
Dear.....
I have become a little older since I saw you last, and a few changes have come into my life. Frankly, I have become a frivolous old gal. I am seeing five gentlemen every day. As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me out of bed. Then I go to see John. Next, Charley Horse comes along, and when he is here he takes a lot of time and attention. When he leaves, Arthus Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he goes from joint to joint.
After such a busy day, I'm really tired, and go to bed with Ben Gay. Oh, yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymer.
P.S. the minister came to call on me the other day. He said at my age I should be thinking a lot about the hereafter. "I do all the time," I told him. "No matter where I am--in the kitchen, in the hallway, in the living room--I ask myself, "What am I here after?"
Oh, BTW, I am not quite a Senior yet, but I sure am looking forward to it as long as I have my health and sense of humour, I'll be just f-i-n-e!!!
