Fun and depressing

Great fun - rarely have I encountered very large numbers that relate to me.
-
I surprise my kids from time to time when I do something clever, which makes them realise I am not quite as senile as they think I am. ;D

Month/Day/Year? Damn yanks.

Not the version that I encountered.

Check your locale. I was given the British date format.
-
It's doing it the proper way now - day/month/year! It was definitely the yank way before.
-
The thing is it won't add or take anything away from the age we are now. And it sure as damn won't change anything about the future.
Do we really need to be told we are getting OLD or shouldn't that be older.... Wine gets better as it ages so age not a bad thing.

If you came upon a glass of wine which had been poured last week, would you drink it or pour it down the sink? ::)

Only for a few decades, after which it starts todeteriorate, same as us. A bottle of fine wine from 1750 would be rubbish by now.

Why and how would you know the glass had been poured a week ago.
Age getting the better of you? ;) ;D

Would that not depend on how it had been stored and if the cork sealed but kept moist and unblown?
Do you know something Churckerbutty... why do people try and find fault with a perfectly acceptable idea? Do you think it is age or misappropriated popularity ratings? :)

This is the day that I never in a million years thought would dawn - the day that Sassy posted something that I agree with!
Nice one, Sassy!
-
I'd have thought you'd agree on many things!

I'd have thought you'd agree on many things!
Like what for instance?
Our religious views are, I regret to say, about 25,000 years apart, and I have seen (N B - seen! I have NOT read every post that Sassy has made) very few posts by Sassy that do not, in one way or another, relate in some degeee or another to her religious beiefs which she holds and defends as strongly as I mine.
-
Apologies for getting it wrong Owlswing. I didn't look at old posts, it was just her and your general amiability that made me think that way.

There was a party. People left unfinished glasses of wine around the house.
Didn't get to tidy the spare room until a week later. Two glasses of wine on the table.
What do you think Miss Marple?
Age getting the better of you?
::)

I would really begin to feel my age if my family stop teasing me about how old and senile I am. On Jan 23rd next year I shall hide under my bed all day and pretend I am 7 again, and forget about the zero after that number. ;D ;D ;D

If they start teasing you about your senility, that’s a good sign that you are not senile. It’s when they stop teasing you that you need to worry.

Exactly.

Exactly.
I guess it is probably also bad if you can can’t remember if they tease you or not.

Yes that would be worrying. Even our Down's Syndrome son, (nearly 34) teases his old mum, from about the age of three he has been telling me how VERY, VERY OLD I am. ;D

I am 27. I enjoy being 27 and I have been 27 for 50 years.
I am not looking forward to being 28.

Oddly I had a wee panic when I was about to turn 27. More so than the 'big' birthdays - which I now try and embrace.

When I was a young child I used to check my hands to see if I had any wrinkles, and was relieved to see I hadn't got any. I was under the impression wrinkles were a sign you were on your way out. Nowadays my hands are very wrinkled and have been for a while, down to the number of times they have come into contact with boiling hot substances, rather than anything else. :o My face has remarkably few considering how ancient I am.

An interesting observation.

Why do you keep going on about how old you are, LR? You are younger than I am and I am only ... err ... 27.

My kids remind me on a daily basis how ancient I am! ;D

Don't you use rubber gloves, LR? I admit I forget to use them sometimes but generally do.
At 58 (59 on April 4th), I've started to feel old. It's weird feeling. I can't do what I used to but am fine at work. Hoping this is just a phase. My husband was 60 in September last year and seems same as ever to me - but I am not the same. People have noticed. Well, that's how it goes I suppose. We're all different. I used to be far more lively than my old man; thank goodness he loves me and tells me all the time that I am fine. Yet I'm so tired and depressed. Even my 92 year old dad seems in better nick than me. My lovely parent in laws and uncle (Dad's younger brother) & aunt are now a bit tottery. My dad does all sorts of things for them, which he likes doing.
Looking 4'wd to eldest daughter's wedding.

You are still a youngster at 59, I am sorry you are feeling tired and depressed, maybe you should consult your GP.

It has, I think, been suggested up thread somewhere that a visit to your GP would really be a good idea; maybe a blood test could show that there is some missing element in your diet which could be easily corrected and restore your energy levels. . My sons are your age, so that counts as really young!!

I'll just add to the general nag. If you are feeling as if there is a problem, then go and see your doctor. Take care

I am going to see my GP a week on Monday. Made the appointment yesterday.

I'm 58 actually, did i say 59? Not surprising, I make all sorts of mistakes these days. I'll be 59 on 4th April (I said "August' originally, that's the sort of mistake I make these days).
I am looking forward to seeing doctor week after next - not. Still, everyone has encouraged me to do it, I'm so thin and wan looking these days but nobody says anything at work, I'm lively enough there.
Thanks all for caring.
I just got off sofa and went flying, hit right ribs on radiator. I don't know how it happened as I just don't fall over as a rule. Ribs hurt but feeling them there seems no break. I'm well fell up of myself at the moment. Yes, time to go to doctor. I might get an earlier appt if I ring first thing on Friday or Monday.
Nice big bunch of red roses today from John, with small tin of pretty biscuits. I sent him succulents/cacti. They will last a long time, got them from 'Bunches'. His to me came from 'Waitrose'.
PS: Sorry I'm so gloomy right now. Can't quite get to grips with it.

Yet a bottle of brandy from the same date would be worth several fortunes!

I once had the chance to drink a fortified sweet wine from 1783 but my fellow diners balked at the idea. Both Chateau D'Yquem and Madeiras can last very long times.
