    Going sorta blind in the one eye I can see out of.. My glasses are getting stronger and stronger.. It's kind of scary.. And I can't get contacts, because my eye doctor wants to keep my one eye safe. So.. I've considered learning Braille.

    Well today at my first physical therapy for my foot surgery the therapists were ALL women. They Refused to believe my age, they thought I was 40 at most. Either that or it was a feeble attempt flirting. So there I'm going backwards in age.

    Peace

    Because it's the only one I have.. ( don't get me wrong.. I HAVE TWO , just one has no optic nerve.. Birth defect) no one will touch the one that works.. I already looked into that.

    My best friend heard some kids listening to "Creep" by TLC today and then pointed out to me that that album came out in 1994 a good 5 or 6 years before these kids were born...and made me realize that was 20 years ago and God do I feel old now....

    I actually call people on the phone instead of texting... I think my kids think you need a special app for that... ;)

    i like using a house phone instead of a cell. as far as im concerned we're having a darn house phone here on out. they are bigger, you can hold them nicely up to your head or get a plug in wire jobby w/ the ear piece & put the darn phone in your shirt pocket.... hands free, good to go

    it bothers me when ppl don't have a house phone & so they use their damn cell phone. unreal & really uncomfortable at their house

    I buy Epsom salts from the feed lots so I can have 20lbs of it at a time! Lol ( for hot baths, not the laxative effect).

    LOL. I pull them out all the time.

    Having to take more that one 10 minute break in a day at work. Slowing down is an inevitable inconvenience.

    It really really hurts when you fall now...like my whole body hurts. Smashed my knees so bad I couldn't get up by myself.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Shit, I thought it hurt when I took various falls in my childhood and teens.

    Now? I'd be and have been fucked by that.

    Take it easy there and heal up, Ms. CNDY.

    my step mum works in a nursing home and says when you get really really old and have a fall its usually signs your going to deteriorate and kick the bucket but on a good note if you fall when your in your 60s you generally dont kick the bucket but really feel the aches and pains

    Well I'm not 60, and I would have not fallen if the city repaired the sidewalk.
