of all the things I've ever lost..............

[bubba.50]

...............I miss my mind the most. walked out the door earlier today thinkin' about the bank bein' closed, the post office bein' closed, and my son who runs the Hiwassee post office havin' the day off. pondered these thoughts all the way to the end of the driveway.................to check the mail. :confused:

I tell ya, this gettin' old ain't all it's cracked up to be. :groner:

[snowwolfe]

Lol! Great post. Been there and done that.

[dverna]

Yep, me too. But my mailbox is over 2 miles from me. At least the Polaris got a bit of a drive.

The Golden Years!!!!! Horse Hockey............

[xs11jack]

Hay, buddy I been there done that too. All those cute little sayings on TV like 'the best is yet to come' and all that baloney is just make you feel good and buy something. This is the time for me to lean more heavily on the Lord to get me thru each day.

If we could lose some of the aches and pains as easily!

[Col4570]

I woke up this morning,thought I heard my Cat wioawing then realised it was me wheezing.Just let out of hospital Xmas Day after an Artery Stent Job.That went well but I picked up a Severe cough there that is racking me,now the wife has it.Went to Bed an hour ago 11 pm now I am sitting on the Sofa with a Hot whiskey,hopefully the cough may settle down and allow some sleep.:violin:.Nope growing old can be a Trial.

[rl69]

Well I knew they didn't run today. I still had to make the trip. I didn't check it yesterday ;)

[Ickisrulz]

The worst part of any holiday is the thought of my mailman sitting at his home not delivering my mail.

Hey folks,

Don't let Bubba pull your leg. The reason he goes to the mail box so often is because this is his mail person...

actually, believe it or not, the mail carrier I used to have really looked a lot like this. and it WAS a pleasure when she rolled into the driveway to unload a flatrate full of lead from the back of her car. looked as good from behind as she did from the front. [smilie=w:

but alas, she took another route a couple years ago that gave her Saturdays off. :(

I am a mailman with the day off today. Didn't exactly spend it sitting at home, but on the drive home I was thinking that I needed to check my mail today. It took a while to realize that the reason I had the day off was because there was no delivery. Like Bubba, I miss my mind the most!

[waksupi]

What is just as bad, is looking for something that you have in your hand.

[mold maker]

Funny how we don't miss it till it's already gone.
Wonder where they all went. Part of mine has been gone for a long time.

At what age does this begin?

no it sure aint but it sure makes us funnier
that there cracks me up :drinks:

[rondog]

So THAT'S why we didn't get any mail Monday..... trash and recycling still got picked up though. No wonder I'm confused.

[DerekP Houston]

lol guilty of checking the mail yesterday too.

[rondog]

Hell, I checked it again about 9pm, because sometimes it does come late - when the regular guy is on vacation and a sub is running his route.

[merlin101]

kinda like looking around for your safety glasses when your wearing them. Yup, it's not all that's cracked up to be!

[NoAngel]

Its not all that bad until you're waiting for a stop sign to turn green. Then you got problems.

My mind has been slipping more and more lately. On the whole, I like it. Things don't bother me like they used to and I finally have a scapegoat for my idiocy.

Holiday for the Mail man is a day to reload ammo. Especially on Jan 16 2017.
Retired city carrier 34 years.

[Hogtamer]

Since you brought it up, what day is it anyhow?

Not to be a smart A!!! look at the calendar or weight for the news they will tell you.

[runfiverun]

well when you forget what day of the week it is a calendar isn't a whole lot of help.

[bbs70]

I lost my virginity once

[leeggen]

Walked around the store the other day looking for the wife. Then I rememberd she was in the truck, in the parking lot. I just told her I was looking at the price of a couple other things.

Losing one's mind is very often a good thing.

[leftiye]

well when you forget what day of the week it is a calendar isn't a whole lot of help.

I have several clocks around that give the day/date.

[facetious]

Thy say that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I don't think I wasted it I think I just ran out.

[bbs70]

Forgetting things isn't so bad, nothing you can do about it, so use it to your advantage.
For example.
Read a book and when you're finished with it start reading it again because will be all new to you.
When you're aggravated or just plain POed, just wait a few minutes and you're not remember what you were POed about.
Go to family reunions to meet new friends.
Your wife will notice you're not looking at young girls like you use to, because you forgot why you were looking at them in the first place.

[Sur-shot]

The best one I have pulled was finding two handguns in my safe, in the bottom of a big bench job, in gun rugs. I had no idea where they came from or when I got them. That was like Christmas, except it has been 10 years and I still remember the shock of not knowing where they came from, all too well. Plus, I have never figured it out.
Ed

[bubba.50]

never found any guns I can't account for but, a few months back while lookin' for somethin' in my junk/important stuff closet I did find a 100 dollar bill in an envelope that I had/still have no memory of when or why I put it there.

[Shingle]

I hear you i've got aches today in places that aren't supposed to ache and i'm only 48. My golden years are not going to be golden.

[claude]

It's a bit like being in the twilight zone .....do..do do.do, ........................
