I've had 2 bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. I have had bouts with dementia, have poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. I can't remember if I am 85 or 92 and I've lost all my friends
But....Thank God,
I still have my Florida drivers license.

There's a lot of truth to that Goldie. Guy's like you & me that were born in the first half of the last century are beginning to reconize far too many of those traits.
But one of my GREAT attributes being loss of memory, I can't remember being sick yesterday, which makes handling today's new disease much easier.......j im ;D

Hey Jim,
I'm not as old as you and Goldie, but my parents are and I can see it. Your posts reminds me of the senility prayer. I can't remember if I posted it a while ago. Oh,.... I guess it's happening to me too! I can't remember.

Now, the tourists are just as bad driving in Florida as the older folks. Some even worse. At least the older folks can drive by "landmark" instint. When the tourist have to stop for a drawbridge, they get out with their cameras and then when the traffic starts moving, you're stuck because they're still taking pictures!! Goldie, ya had me going there for a minute about the bypass surgery and all! Scared me! But we know for sure you're not 85 OR 92 and if you lose your friends there, you can always move back here. We still love ya...

Hey Jim, As I mentioned in another post a few weeks ago, I wear a bag over my head 'cause I have a captivating effect on women of all ages. It is safer for the public for me to keep my face covered. Like I said, I can't remember if I posted this before, so here it goes (again?) Senility Prayer God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Now that I'm "older" (but refuse to grow up), here's what I've discovered: I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. My wild oats have turned into All Bran. I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded. If all is not lost, where is it? It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees. It's not hard to meet expenses; they're everywhere. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter—<br>I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after. Now, I think you're supposed to send this to 5 or 6, maybe 10, oh well, send it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are. Then something is supposed to happen, I think. (Maybe you get your memory back.)
