I got this last night and it was so funny and I realized I had no friends who would understand it. then I thought, sure I do. I have this group. So, for nothing more than shared friendship, I offer this ditty:
I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes.
I'm half blind,
can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation;
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.
Unfortunately its also sad and true. My Grandfather killed himself, and a young Mother behind the wheel. We took Mom's car away a few yrs ago. It was a fight, but worth it.
my dad's comment when I said you could kill yourself if you drove was "well, id die happy". wrong.. I just parked my car behind his so he couldn't get out. long enough so that he stopped fighting. my neighbor was ready to pull a plug in the engine if I had to move my car... but he finally stopped insisting....
So, when the guy 50 Cent threw the opening ball at the NY Mets game, and it went really wide to the left, I started laughing so hard while changing dad's pamper. Dad was mad at me because for the rest of the time changing his pamper, I kept laughing as I replayed 50 Cent's wild throw to the left.
I happened to be changing my dad's pamper in the morning before I go to work when I saw this on the HLN or Good Morning America show. As it was playing, I started laughing so hard, my dad got mad. He wanted me to concentrate on his pamper and not the TV.
When I saw this discussion about A Little Levity, I thought of these videos. If you google below - there is test drive 1 (where Jeff does a test drive on a car with the car salesman with him) and Test Drive 2 (where a journalist claimed it was a fake video - so Jeff pulled the prank on Him.) Of the 2, I liked part 2 best. For someone so terrified, he was still a very polite man! =)
