    Act like myself.  Now I can blame it on something.  Before I had to keep trying to defend my insanity.  Now I just shrug and look helpless.  (mwaahaaahaa)

    When I pass the bathroom I think "Oh, I might as well pee while I'm here."

    I tend to address store clerks as "strong young man".

    Once I said to some whipper snapper who was arguing with me, "Listen Sonny."  I can't believe I said that.  Lately I've really been enjoying afternoon naps on the couch on the porch.  ZZZZzzzzzz.

    My sisters had grand-kids in early 40's. Both are great grandmothers numerous times. One is 65 and the other is 67.

    Ask any kid how old his/her grandparents are, and you'll get the distinct impression that they were with Noah in the Ark.

    Richard Vernon, and he played me brilliantly!
    The movie was disappointing. The low budget BBC-TV series was intentionally terrible, which is one of the reasons why it was so sidesplitting.

    I shaved off my beard when my kids started calling me Jesus. I had long hair at the time too.
