• Getting Old

    From Dennis Katsonis@3:633/384 to All on Mon Apr 14 22:29:00 2025
    At my age, "getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in here for.

    Old age is coming at a really bad time.

    I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do the second week.

    Last week I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

    Nice!

    For me getting lucky refers more to the toilet than the bed!

    Three rules for seniors:
    1. Never trust a fart.
    2. Never pass a bathroom.
    3. Never waste a hard-on.

    A poem:
    Procrastination is my sin;
    It brings me endless sorrow.
    I really must stop doing it;
    In fact, I'll start tomorrow!

    I learned that one 35+ years ago & promptly memorized it, as it was just so "me."

    I do admit I'm a bit of a procrastinator too. You know, sometimes it pays off, as some problems either sort themselves out, or dissapear by the time you get around to them.

    True enough. I was in a computer class that wound up being all women, plus me, so the prof, as an icebreaker geared towards the majority, asked each of us to give a helpful housekeeping tip or trick.

    They went around, giving fun stain-removing tips; then they came to me & I gave the ultimate in tips: Wait long enough & someone else will do it for you!

    The next day, one lad cae & gave me a big hug, saying she didn't feel like doing the dishes, so she left them & sure enough, by morning they were all done!

    I╞m mopping up my act!
    Clean it, like you mean it.
    Cleaning is my soap-erpower.
    Cleaning is my dirt therapy!
    Keep calm and keep cleaning on!
    Sweep dreams are made of these!
    It╞s cleaning o╞clock somewhere!
    I find cleaning very mopp-ortant.
    I dust can╞t handle the pressure!
    I find laundry day sew satisfying.
    Cleaning is my broom-mate activity! Cleaning is the key to a happy life. Cleaning mirrors is reflective therapy. Cleaning: my cardio and clarity booster! Don╞t brush me off∙I╞m here to clean up! Cleaning the stove is a burner of a task. When life gives you grime, make it shine! Cleaning: where I polish up my priorities! My cleaning game is simply sponge-tacular! Spill the tea, not the stains √ cleaning mode on!

    Happy trails to you. . .
