Popular Post W2DR Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 I have everything that I wanted as a teenager. Only it's 70 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne. Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now. Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. I decided to stop calling the bathroom "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning. When I was a child I thought "nap time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation. The biggest lie I tell myself is... " I don't have to write that down, I'll remember it". I don't have gray hair... I have "wisdom highlights"! I'm just very wise. If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees. Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway? Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice. At my age "Getting Lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. 2 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 That's all true, Doug. Captures the experience perfectly, except you left out the part about finally being perfectly right about everything. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingfish55 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Great post. The last point reminded me of a saying my sister, who is in her sixties, referred to as her "craft" moment. When I asked her what she meant, she replied "can't remember a f***ing thing". 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
