*** Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. Amen. Texas prayer



We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw



The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.


Be decisive. Right or wrong, make a decision. The road is paved with flat squirrels who couldn’t make a decision.

Happiness is not having to set the alarm clock.

When I get a headache I take two aspirin and keep away from children just like the bottle says.

Just once, I want the prompt for username and password to say, “Close enough.”

Becoming an adult is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.

If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self-employed. We’re having a meeting.

“Your call is very important to us. Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo".

Does anyone else have a plastic bag full of plastic bags, or is it just me?

I hate it when I can’t figure out how to operate the iPad and my tech support guy is asleep. He’s 5 and it’s past his bedtime.

Today’s 3-year-olds can switch on laptops and open their favorite apps. When I was 3, I ate mud.

Tip for a successful marriage: Don’t ask your wife when dinner will be ready while she’s mowing the lawn.

So, you drive across town to a gym to walk on a treadmill?


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. Old age is coming at a really bad time.

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?


Now, I'm wondering . . . did I send this to you, did you send it to me or have I only sent one copy?


The Commandments for Seniors……

You don't need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off.

Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work.

"On time" is, when you get there.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid – but it sure does muffle the sound.

It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free...and three sizes smaller.

Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.

"One for the road" means peeing before you leave the house.


Did this make you smile?

*** Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and you... (show quote)


The one about being decisive is like a quote from T. Roosevelt: "The best thing to do is the right thing. The second best thing to do is the wrong thing. The worst thing to do is to do nothing". Great list, Mark, I can relate to quite a few things on the list.

Thanks, Mike. Teddy was a wonderful leader of our country.

Great list. I like the one about the squirrels. I read that squirrels tend to turn around and run back to where they were because they know that was a safe place. Continuing across the road to an unknown place might be a bad idea. Staying in the road is definitely a bad idea.

Interesting take on this Jerry. Kind of like us in life, no? Maybe in our photography as well? Need to stretch and keep on going! Like the country song says, to paraphrase, I may be going through Hell but I'm going to keep on going 'fore the devil know I'm here.

As much as I try to be silent when I get my plastic bag full of plastic bags out in order to clean out her litter box she always comes running to watch from in between my legs until I'm finished. As I tie a knot in the bag, and turn around to put it in the trash, I always hear her little paws in the litter box starting the next cycle. Thats my Millie!
