Remember When?
Go Rams !!!
Seniors Citizens
Senior citizens are
sometimes criticized and said to be responsible for every conceivable
deficiency of the modern world, real, or imaginary. Most senior
citizens take
responsibility for undesirable situations they were involved in
HOWEVER, upon reflection,
it might be pointed out that it was
NOT today's senior
citizens who took the:
Most all of Today's Seniors
understand the meaning of patriotism and remember well those who fought
and died for our country. It sometimes seems questionable, Does anyone
under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner, or O
Canada? Look around the next time you attend a parade. Notice the Seniors with tears in their eyes, and pride in their
hearts, as they stand at attention on Veteran's Day, Independence
Day, and when Old Glory passes by in respect for the great country The United States of America, and those who gave their lives
to protect freedom.
YES, I'm a Senior
Citizen!
I'm very good at
opening childproof caps with a hammer.
I'm awake many
hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all
the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm very good at
telling stories over and over and over and over.
I'm aware that
other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for; long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.
I just don't like
traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Jenny
Craig, and Toyota commercials.
I'm sure
everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere?
I'm wrinkled,
saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm having trouble remembering simple words
like ???
I'm beginning to
realize that aging is not for wimps.
I'm sure they are
making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become
policemen?
I'm wondering, if
you're only as old as you feel how could I be alive at 150?
And, how can my
kids be older than I feel sometimes?
I'm a walking storeroom
of facts. I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.
And,
I think I am having the time of my life!
