In denial? Never been in denial. Don’t wanna be in denial. I’m too old to do that much traveling any more and prefer sitting on de porch.
So I'm watching the 2021 PGA Championship. Phil Mickelson just won...the oldest player to ever win a PGA Championship. So I go on the internet to see how old he is. I was 16 years old when the S.O.B. was born. Just shoot me...
Sometimes this stuff just smacks me right in the face. Of course, classifying 50 year olds as "seniors" doesn't help. Even IHOP's bar is higher than that.
I'm a broken-down man whose motto was yes I can With age and wear Mostly I sit and stare Be it at a book or TV I am not free Frozen in a state I just stagnate How was I hijacked How do I get back Tony 5/24/21
I had never heard of them. It seems strange to separately contract out cremation (back & forth shipping) when all the funeral homes can do it as part of the package.
Well I was a senior long before they lowered the age (not sure why they did that) and all I have to say in response is: I prefer old(er) (denial? lol) to the alternative. Yes I lol at a lot of the responses. At least most everybody still has that all important sense of humor.
I have a reproduction of a 4 painting series by Thomas Cole titled "The Voyage of Life" that has always resonated. Childhood Youth Manhood Old Age
One of my unattatched kids was bemoaning the fact that she had no kids. Who was going to take care of her in her old age? Yesterday, she was lifting her old dog into the car cuz Roxy can't jump in anymore. And HER back went out, I got her a cold pack and did her chores--on my one good leg and cane. Made her dinner.... I keep saying I will be like the terminator--stripped of flesh, legs scraped off in a machine, one good arm dragging itself towards it's goal of killing Sarah... Does that put me in denial? or an institution?
I hate being old, it sucks. My mind thinks it is in its 20's my body says reality check you old fart.
