Life could see you reborn as a creature of the night possessed by spirits from the wild side calling you to another place

Hmmmm...now that's a thought! If I were reborn a "night creature" I think I'd like to be a cat. A BIG cat!

For now, I don't see worth a crap at night, especially driving, which is probably why I don't go anywhere after dark!

Who says they are seniors, don’t you know ‘life begins at 40’?

Some are proud of their age.

A 90 year old man would always stop for 1 drink a day at the local town bar.

After Labor Day, he joked he was the only guy left at the Senior Center because the " kids" had to go back to school.

It's going to be hard for me to swallow as I get closer to that senior age! It seems like just yesterday I was the young kid and it's always been pointed out how I look younger than my age. Even hearing maam now kinda makes me shudder!

Of course,of course, every person who is a senior citizen believes they look younger than their actual age. ( sarc)

I don't mind being put into a category so long as no one is putting me into a box just yet. I turn 61 in 10 days and it's a celebration around here. Sure beats the alternative!

AND, I just love the discounts.

I'm honored to be called senior, military retired, AARP, old, etc.

Means I have the time to do what I want, when I what, and usually at a discount.

Bring on the so-called insults~ because I qualify so~~~


Life is sweet!!!
