Then she says, "Ethel, I'm so glad you saw this. Now I think I know where my hearing aid is."

your password? Try changing it to "incorrect".   That way,
when you log on with the wrong password, your computer
will tell you, "Your password is incorrect"

Two elderly gentlemen were sitting in the lounge of their nursing home
when Edith streaked past them entirely in the nude.   One of the men
turned to his friend Tom and said, "Did you see that? What was she
wearing? "     Tom replied, "I don't know, but it needs ironing!"

When I first received this, it was called "A car for women", which I thought was stupidly sexist.  
Wouldn't we all just love a vehicle like this, whatever gender (or age) we are?   And if you are,
like me, a third-ager who seems to have lost the skill of confidently pulling level with a parked
car and, in one attempt, reversing smartly into the just-over-a-car-length space behind, then
you too would give an awful lot to get your hands on one of these.



 


Grumpy old man:"When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?"
Long suffering wife:"I clean the toilet."
Grumpy old man:"How does that help?"
Long suffering wife:"I use your toothbrush."

The LP cover - remember LPs? - I bet some of
you even still have your old 78s - is a link to
a page of flash videos I have downloaded from
YouTube.   Some of the videos are clips from
old rock 'n' roll movies.   Just listen to the
dialogue!   Corny as heck, but it brings tears
of nostalgia to my eyes.   The music is just
as fantastic as it was over half a century ago!
Play a few clips and imagine yourself back in
your adolescence .....
