Getting older is not for sissies, that's for sure! And I can so identify with driving in dim light/darkness. I need to have my cataracts removed - yet another thing I've put off for too long. Hopefully that will happen in February. One can only pretend to see for so long.

I agree ... getting old may have its drawb...Yes ... I agree ... getting old may have its drawbacks. But also look at the advantages. One can be cantankerous and rude and people would say one is eccentric. One can stand at the edge of the side-walk pretending to want to cross the road, and when you are helped across by a nice person, you tell them now you want to go back where you came from. You can confuse people by going to the baker and asking to buy a wasp. When he tells you he doesn't sell wasps. You reply "You have one in your shop window". And for some real fun ... you can invite your friends for a meal to a particular restaurant and then you turn up at another one completely different. You can always blame the misunderstanding on old age. <br /><br />And for the real top class winner: My old friend Ernest.<br /><br />He had to go to hospital for observation. The nurse, in her late fifties, was a bit patronising and condescending. She always talked using the "we" pronoun: "And how are we feeling this morning? Have we slept well last night? It is time to check our temperature. Shall we have a bed bath now?" And so on ... He got fed up with this attitude towards his old age, being spoken to as a child, even though he actually was a child many years ago. So he decided on revenge.<br /><br />As usual, last thing in the evening, the nurse gave him a clean sterilised bottle and said: "We need to give a urine sample first thing in the morning. I'll collect it then".<br /><br />The next morning he poured apple juice in the bottle. When she came to collect it she said: "My ... we are a little cloudy today aren't we?"<br /><br />He took the bottle from her, looked at it and said, "Let us filter it some more" and drank the whole content.<br /><br />She nearly fainted. <br /><br />It's great to be old ... eccentric or what?<br /><br />God bless.
