Don't Get Old, You Just Fall Apart!

You think you are aging? Getting old? Well, just listen to this. I was trying to read a post on Fishing Stages, and decided I needed to put on my glasses. I look around where I usually put them, on the closest bookshelf, a wheeled stand on the left of my chair, all around.
I then fetch a basket to find some artificial drops to put in my eyes as instructed by my doctor. Well, found the drops and as I started to put these drops in my eyes, I was halted because of my glasses being on my head, and in the way! Just Sayin…RJS

almost as bad as buying all your groceries wheeling the bags out to the parking lot, then trying to find your keys. finally find them and drive away. only to arrive at home to discover that you left the groceries in the cart in the parking lot, in the rain. DUH

I can testify getting old stinks, looking for your glasses while resting on top of your head, frantically searching for your key's hanging around your neck and driving all the way home and realize your $269.48 worth of groceries are sitting in Walmarts parking lot 🤣 it's not really all that funny in the heat of the moment

Hadn't heard that line in quite a few years now, but it always gave me a laugh. It always came from one of my brothers-in-law, the one that's been gone way too long now. Miss you Jimbo! Thank you Mr. Samples; it was so good to hear that expression again.

Not one of my finer moments I was running behind once like usual and I can't remember where we had to be. So I did a quick in and out of the shower got dressed. And as I went to do my hair. I noticed the can of foam hair mousse canwas empty. No biggie there's always a extra can of 2 under the sink so I grab one and I'm using it and I'm putting more and more on because it's not working. And I'm getting pissed because it's not working. And we should have already been out the door by now. So I'm yell to my wife to come and give me a hand and don't ever buy this F@!'#:g brand of hair mousse again this stuffs crap it doesn't work. And the first words to come out of her mouth as she's coming to bail my ass out. Is and I'll never forget it was, what's that foam flea spray for the dog doing out. Since I was in such a rush I didn't have my glasses on yet. So when I reached down to grab a new can of mousse. I grabbed the wrong can. The cans were the same shape, color and size. But the only difference was what I thought was picture of a happy mom, kid or family was actually a picture of a puppy and kitten. So and all I could say was, well I guess while I was trying to do my hair I figured I'd try taking care of any fleas while I was at. And I'm happy to report that I haven't had any fleas then or since my hair treatment.

Good choice! No fleas! Reminds me of a drilling crew on their way to the rig. One of the hands asked the dirller who was driving if he would stop by a 7/11 so he could get something for lunch. His wife didn't have anything to fix.
So they stop, the hand rushed in and back in a flash.

They go to the rig and on that day they were moving to a new location. Meaning all hands of all three shifts have to stay until the move is complete. They do break for lunch. This hand who had to buy something at 7/11 was sitting on a piece of machinery and had opened this red can. He said to the driller, Mr. Jones, have you noticed that Wolf Brand Chili isn't as good as it usedt to be! The driller looked down at the red can. It clearly said ALPHO!

He figiured id he told the hand what he was eating he would get sick! So, he went along and said, "Yes, I have noticed that! Just Sayin...RJS
