Marchs Melody of Madness and Mischief

Just turned 56 on Feb 9. So sorta old fart now. My brain thinks I'm still young, but my body knows better and makes sure I know it too every day!

Planedude, yep we went from 70s last night to 20° at 4:30pm today with light snow and sleet. Somebody needs to shoot that darn wascally rodent in PA.

Sounds like Florida. My brain thinks I'm 25 when young hotties are around. Then my other brain reminds me I'm just a dirty old man.

Some of you fella's here are older than dirt. I'm hoping for longevity myself hoping to make 60. 8 months to go, my confidence is dwindling.

I doubt you be gonna make it.

If you decide you need to get rid of some guns, because your time is nigh, I would help out a friend and all. But, you'll probably outlast me anyway. Difference is, I am not worried about it.

I'm still a young 58 but occasionally find my mind writes checks my body can't cash!

I'll get there in mid-October. How the hell did I get old?!?

I can answer that one, you ain't dead yet.

I hit it last year and the only difference I notice is I tolerate BS a whole lot less than I did in my 40's.

Got the question yesterday

At the doctor's yesterday (yes, I'm still alive and doing good) for a "wellness" exam. Doctor was asking questions regarding depression, did I want to be resuscitated, intubed, tube fed and other fun things and then asked..........................."do you have guns in your house?" I told her that the question had nothing to do with the state of my health and declined to answer. Her reply was pretty good "Yeah, Obama care, they can't ask that question directly so they have to get the health care providers to do it for them."

Sorry to be a downer in this happy-go-lucky thread. I'm getting just about sick of this crap.

BTW - Bawanna, you'll make it to 60 no problem.

Wellness exams suck. I was feeling fine until I did that a couple weeks ago myself, numbers off, gotta see a specialist, yadda yadda yadda. Only reason I even went was they wouldn't renew my prescriptions without a check up. They got a brand new fancy building. Probably need my money to make the payments.

My doctor has never asked about guns yet. I almost look forward to it.

I had my annual VA check-up last month & was fully expecting someone to pop the question but no one ever did.

Speaking of which, though, I've worked up an answer, so tell me what you think of it ...

Doctor: Do you have guns in your house?

Me: What do you mean guns? Do you mean like a pellet gun to shoot squirrels with? No, I don't have a gun to shoot squirrels with ... but whenever I do need to shoot squirrels I borrow one from a friend's son. I shot about 15 squirrels last summer. I've been thinking about buying one of my own, but no, I don't have one right now.

Which is all true by the way ... I don't own a pellet gun, but I do borrow one when I need to shoot squirrels.

Two visits per year and that question has never been asked.

[MW surveyor]

Might be that you have to be on Medicare to get the question? I was never asked this question before I turned 65 and went on Medicare.

RevRay - might just work.

A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands.

The waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the woman slowly sliding down her chair and under the table - but the man stared straight ahead.

The waitress, thinking this behavior a bit risqué and worried that it might offend other diners, went over to the table and, tactfully, began by saying to the man "Pardon me, sir, but I think your wife just slid under the table"

The man calmly looked up at her and said, "No, she didn't. She just walked in."

Being retired military I am still allowed to use the local Naval Hospital. Never been asked yet about guns. Since doc is a young Navy Lieutenant, if he ever asks about guns, I think I'll tell him guns are aboard warships in turrets so no I don't have any.

[Bawanna]

That should work good.
