TonyB aka Berni

I have not lost my mind ............It is backed up on disc somewhere

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that 
most
 people die of natural causes

speakers music 
      background 

GOT 
      TUNES - I HOPE

Hummm let 
      me think ,

...why did 
      I send you this......

Don't tell 
      me  it's  coming to me.....

Oh 
      ya.....

Senior 
      citizens are c
onstantly being criticized 

For 
      every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, 

Real 
      or imaginary.  

We 
      know we take responsibility 

For 
      all we have done & do not blame others. 

HOWEVER, 

Upon reflection, 

We would like to 
      point out 

That it was 
      NOT the senior 
      citizens who took: 

      The 
      melody out of 
      music, 

      The pride out of 
      appearance, 

      The courtesy out of 
      driving, 

      The romance out of 
      love, 

      The commitment out of 
      marriage, 

      The responsibility 
      out of 
      parenthood, 

      The togetherness out of the 
      family, 

      The learning out of 
      education, 

      The service out of 
      patriotism, 

 The Golden 
      Rule from 
      rulers, 

      The nativity scene out of 
      cities, 

      The civility out of 
      behavior, 

      The refinement out of 
      language, 

      The dedication out of 
      employment, 

      The prudence out of 
      spending, 

      The ambition out of 
      achievement, or, 

      God out of government 
      and school. 

And we certainly 
      are NOT the ones 

Who eliminated 

Patience & 
      tolerance 

>From personal 
      relationships & interactions with 
      others!! 

We do 
      understand the meaning 

Of patriotism, 

& remember those who have fought & died 
      for our 
      country.

YES, I'M A SENIOR 
      CITIZEN! 

I'm the life of the 
      party.
.....    
      Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof 
      caps...   With a hammer. 

I'm usually interested in going home 
      before I get to where I am going. 

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 & over & over & 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'm not really 
      grouchy, 

I just don't like: 

Traffic, 

Waiting, 

Crowds, 

Lawyers, 

Loud 
      music, 

Unruly kids, 

Barking 
      dogs,

& a few other 
      things 

I can't seem to 
      remember right now. 

I'm sure everything I can't find is in 
      a safe secure place,  somewhere. 

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, & 
      that's just my left leg. 
I'm beginning to realize that aging is 

   not for wimps. 
I'm sure they are making adults much 
      younger these days, 

& 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? 
&, 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. 

Now if I could only remember 

Who sent this to 
      me, 

I wouldn't send it 
      back to them,  

But I would send it 
      to many more! 

Have an Awesome 
      Day
