David CoveyFor the Geriatrics in here..
TWELVE COMMANDMENTS FOR PEOPLE OVER 50
#1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice.
#2 - “In Style” are the clothes that still fit.
#3 - You don't need anger management. You need people to stop pissing
you off.
#4 - Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots
that needs work.
#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don't need to write that
down. I'll remember it.”
#6 - “On time” is when you get there.
#7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it sure does muffle the sound.
#8 - It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for
ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?
#9 - Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.
#10 - Growing old should have taken longer.
#11 - Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut you up.
#12 - You still haven't learned to act your age and hope you never will.
. . . And one more: “One for the road” means peeing before you leave the
house

Tom396Once surpassing a certain age, "life in prison" becomes much less of a deterrent.

Take care. Tom Worthington
If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong.

I'm laughing at the list. I'm also laughing at you pretending to be offended. You're too cool to be offended, and we all know it.
I used to be a people person, but people ruined that.

Woody BSo I realize I've got a problem with #5..
#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don't need to write that
down. I'll remember it.”
If I write something down I forget where I put the paper I wrote in on.
All of ya'll will probably get a kick out of this. I work in an air conditioned shop. Last week they were replacing the AC units so it was HOT. Most of the kids were struggling with the heat. Us old guys were just working like always.
I used to be a people person, but people ruined that.
