So many good lines!

I'm feeling it. How did an old man's teeth get in my mouth?

I laughed a lot and could feel all ghosts of the past laughing with me. What a collective effort we've all made. Thanks!

"If I dare leave the house past 7 o-clock

I need a ‘going-out nap’ in my fav smock

After an hour of being out, I need to decompress

Getting older requires charging to convalesce"

Yep, and I ain't afraid to admit it 😅😆

Oh my.. Come on you guys, I’m 70 and I still wear high heels. Hmm.. but now that I think of it, there’s probably a reason that I do know the location of all the cleanest bathrooms when I go out!🥴🤣

Ooh that's a good one Brenda! A mental rolodex of the cleanest bathrooms is paramount to adulthood.

I'm at the "Oy vey" part of my life where that's all I say, either getting up for sitting down on a chair.

At least you haven't gotten to the point where you've lost your mind and you hear the chair say 'oy vey' back.

Wait until you’re in your late fifties, when a song you were fond of in your early twenties comes on and a dear friend tells you “Oh, yeah, my parents joke about how I was conceived when that song debuted.” The timeshock and the TMI are bad enough separately, but together?

😆😆😆 That's amazingly horrible Paul.

I nearly fell off the couch at the 7:00 part. I literally had a nap at 5 yesterday because I was leaving the house at 730pm to take my grandson to Pumpkins After Dark 🤣🤣🤣 I feel so validated right now!!

😆😆😆 You and me Kristi, two tired peas in a nappy pod.

Funny thing is, I've never been a napper. But the shorter daylight seems to be hitting differently this year. Maybe it's me approaching 52 or maybe I just don't give a fuck anymore 🤣🤣

I thought my 60’s were for that. Then my 70’s!

Of course, by now, there isn’t much left to fall apart 😂

Thanks for the laugh.

I feel this in my bones... which, by the way, now sound like a xylophone every time I get up from the couch. I tried yoga to stay limber, but I'm pretty sure I invented a new pretzel shape called 'The Regretful Millennial.' Maybe we should start a support group? We could call it 'Avocado Toast Can't Fix This.' At least we can laugh about it... right after we take our daily handful of vitamins and supplements that would make a pharmacist blush. Keep the humor coming . Love it
