Life your Life, part two

I just had to share this here instead of just a response to the list that Jasdip posted.

On an old man's shirt was written: "I am not 80 years old. I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience." That's ATTITUDE

I think I must have seen this "old man" yesterday at my eye doctors. I was one of several patients who were waiting our turn to have a vision test. We were a talkative group with several people chiming in. Across from me was a lone man, interested in the conversation; all others were women. My turn came and as I stood up to go out he smiled and said something, which I don't remember now, and raised his arm to wave as I left. I turned to wave back and you know what that "old guy" did? He WINKED at me. I cant even remember the last time I saw anybody wink. I laughed and said to the group, "That man winked at me." I could hear the laughter as I left the room. Now that "old guy" sure showed ATTITUDE.

As I often say, with thanks to Readers Digest, Laughter is the best medicine.

My father is 94 years old, in good health, and has never lost his sense of humor. He travels all over, takes about 6 cruises each year, and makes friends everywhere he goes. He always compliments people, and loves to tell women that they look especially nice today. They all love him! When I upload his pictures onto his computer after each trip, there are countless pictures of him with women of all sizes, colors, and ages--and he has email addresses for many of them!

Two years ago, he was asked to wear and bra and skirt and dance the hula at a breast cancer fundraiser--he immediately agreed, and was the hit of the party. I mean, who can resist a bald-headed, hairy-legged, nonagenarian, wearing a ridiculous bra and skirt. He had more dollar bills stuffed in his bra and skirt than the young studs...and it is forever preserved on YouTube! He says that, at his age, nothing embarrasses him and people love him because they know he doesn't have long "on the green side of the grass". He frequently tells people, "At my age, I don't even buy long-playing records!" (He does, however, have a bunch of cruises booked well into 2017.) If I live to his age, I hope I have his sense of humor and love of life!

What a hoot! Is it too late to change the title of your post? Mine was supposed to be LIVE your life. You might as well have it titled correctly. Hahaha

Sorry, I don't know any way to change anything here any more. There used to be Edit and Delete buttons, and a way to italicize,etc. The flag is still visible, but it says "report comment" which I guess refers to spam, maybe?

I thought the wording didn't seem right, but I had no right to change it. I did change it when I saved it in my files.

Hi Composts- Every little bit counts as far as income goes. Our income may be limited (intentionally), but the rewards are many! Bartering services and goods goes a long way to improve quality of life even with low cash flow. If we need extra cash for something specific, I work per diem as a nurse, and my DH can do ANYTHING and fix ANYTHING. That's the key to living cheaply...do as much as you can for yourselves, read and learn and apprentice until you can handle anything that comes your way and not need to hire anyone to fix anything. We sell eggs, swap organically grown chicken for organically grown beef (with a neighbor), sell honey, maple syrup, herbs, perennial plants, my DH buys electronic equipment, old Hi-Fi, tunes it up, fixes it, sells on ebay for a profit. We raised two boys who both went to good colleges (bright boys who worked hard and got grants and scholarships and student loans) and now are working and making WAY MORE money than we ever will...but they both look foward to the day when they will live the simpler life. They've learned many of the skills necessary by living it and are luckier than we were in that way when starting out. We pay for everything cash, don't even own a credit card, and have had the same used car for 10 years. We also have a pickup truck, dump truck (both used and in good shape) I could go on and on with ways to live within a limited income, and increase your income, but it would probably take a book to hold all the info!

CatMom, I am considering it. I didn't get my hands on her yesterday to put the collar on. So funny, my DH hasn't seen her yet! For some reason she disappears whenever he is around. She loved all the teenaged boys who were here Friday night, some of whom are big, so hopefully she isn't afraid of men. In the meantime, some fleas showed up on my dog Oscar. Of course DH is blaming the stray...I'm going to try to dust her with a little Diatomaceous earth. Until I know she doesn't have a family I wouldn't feel comfortable using Frontline or anything more aggressive. I included a photo of His Highness, depressed about his flea bath. Beth P.

Hahaha, that's okay Sue. When we start a thread, we have an hour, tops to make any changes. Comments that we make, can be changed at any time.

I figured you, and others knew what I meant, anyway.

We still have the edit and delete buttons, as well as other options that allow us to express ourselves.

When you are the one to start a new thread, you have a very short time to edit, but those making postings afterwards have several days to edit or delete.

The flag is for several reasons and you will have options to choose from if you click on the flag. Reporting someone who is peddling their products in a forum is just one.

Wanda, your dad sounds like my kind of guy!

I'm going to continue on this same space because I want to say a couple things in regard to the above comments, re the Edit, Delete buttons. When I first attempted to reply to Jasdip's reply, the Edit, Delete choices were not there, only the flag, and I typed my response. As soon a I hit Submit, the Edit / Delete X showed up, and the message was posted as is shown now.

I have had problems with using Houzz from day 1. Won't go into all that now, but I do have a question that I hope someone will answer for me. When any comment I make shows up, do you see my avatar, or just the head thing?

I appreciate any and all of the helps from you good KT people. Thank you.
