Senior Moments

[Spenser41]

So I am on the phone talking to customer service. The girl on the other end asks me my birth date. I told her... she got really quiet and then says, you are 62? I said yep. She said really? I said yep again. She said you do not sound 62. I said ok what do I sound like. She said 30s or maybe 40s. But not 62! I said ok... tell me what does a 62 yr old person supposed to sound like.. She said my old grandpa... and you sound NOTHING like him.

LOL

My students don't want to believe that I'm 68! When they tell their kids and grandkids that they talked to their kindergarten teacher, they all get the same response. "She's still living?"

Yea it's funny what people think about seniors.

I understand completely. I remember when Mahalia Jackson died. At the time I thought she was old. She was only 60, so now I think she was young. Our perspective on age depends on how old we are.

The day before my birthday, I ran into the store to buy my girlfriend a pack of cigarettes. The clerk asked me my birthday, not my birthdate. I said, "Tomorrow." She looked at me, then said, "No, when were you born. "March 30, 1970. I'll be 47 tomorrow." "Wow, you don't look like you're in your 40s." "Well, how old do I look? " "35." "Well, how old are you? " "19" I shook my head and walked away....

As I Mature...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just aren't worth it.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting, long after you think you're finished.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place!

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon, and all the less important ones just never go away.

Sometimes coming on Lit makes life worth living!

Time to go get radiated.
Yesterday, my Thursday cancer doctor visit after radiation, yet another doctor looked me over. I asked what they look for. He said burning. So maybe eventually I will vaporize or look sunburned before I'm cured.
He also said I don't look my age and should live another 20 to 30 years. I told him it will take that long to pay for all this.

I still have a good memory. That's my problem. There are so many things I'd like to forget! If I find my way back one of us will play on Lit again.

You've got this.

I hope I haven't told this story too many times.


This happened on my 2nd or 3rd chemo treatment. Before chemo, I had to see my oncologist. He wasn't in the office so I saw his son. I'd met the son earlier while having blood drawn. He came in, looked at the results from the blood work, examined me before saying, "I have some good news and some bad news. What do you want first?"

"Give me the good news first." Of course my heart rate was off the chart by this time.

"Your tumor marker numbers have dropped significantly. They were in the hundred thousandths and now they're under ten thousands."

"So what's the bad news?"

He did a Groucho Marx imitation, pretending he had a cigar in his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There ain't no bad news." I was still sick as a dog 3 days later, but my mindset was good.

It's better than at least one I can think of.

Who said it was in the backyard? My office is not far from one and I can smell the grilling all the time. Nice.
