I love it Jack. Live today... age later. Great motto. My mom is 81 and still looks great. She says the problem is the insides are aging faster than the outside.

I know EXACTLY what she means BUT all in all, I'm still in great shape... well, reasonably in great shape if you disregard my saggy bits! Your mom sounds like my kind of gal!!! Say hello for me! XXX

What were you saying? I wrote a poem a few months ago. Took a week to write it. Then I was looking at my notes and said: I've researched this thing to death, so it's time to write it. It took a week, again, and I was so proud as I reviewed the spelling. When Darn! I remembered I'd written it and posted it before! The first time it I called it 'A Storm is a Brewing'. This time it was called 'Dragon of Oz'. Can't bring myself to post the 2nd one. Being senile is what we need to look out for... LOL

I've noticed the site is quite slow lately! Methinks it's because of the up grades they're in the process of doing! Could be why the comments are slow coming in! Anyway, thanks for dropping by with your comments... much appreciated! Huggsies, Jack XXX

Forgettfullness and confusion is what my epilepsy pace maker is supposed to take care of... guess it's getting weak and needs to be replaced, too... But I already knew that... LOL... My Hubby liked the 2nd one better... A few groans and a few laughs... Dragon didn't mind as long as I made him the star... Yep, that's Dragon, for you... He wants me to post it... Silly Dragon!

This makes sense to me as I approach one of the milestone birthdays, Forty! (does 40 seem long ago to you Jack?) I didn't think so!

That's it exactly! Live for today, age is not in our vocabulary! I'm surprised I'm the first one to comment. You'll be flooded soon, Jack!
