My recent qualification as an Old Fogey in the Ancient Order of Fossilhood requires that I work slower. hat
February 1, 20197 yr Popular Post Age diminishes my speed but, not the quantity of mistakes. However, the mistake quality may have improved. But, that may just be my aging eyes...or, my attitude. Edited February 1, 20197 yr by Gene Howe

February 2, 20197 yr Popular Post C'mon guys. Age is just a number. Like, like how many aches and pains, how often ya get up to pee, how much ya forgot to do....etc.

Like, like how many aches and pains, how often ya get up to pee, how much ya forgot to do....etc. Yeah, I know. I'm 27071 days old today! Aches and pains have merged in a continuum not requiring counting, night-time peeing is a given, and memory is, welll.....I forget! hat

When I get up in the AM, I check the obit column, and if I'm not listed there, I know it will be a good day. Then I check my age in days and thank my lucky stars I have made it this far! hat
February 2, 20197 yr Popular Post Well then, happy 27071st day. I'm at 28429. Don't get a daily paper. If there's no flames, I'm good.
February 2, 20197 yr Popular Post Gene, I like to play with time numbers. When I was working, I built a retirement spreadsheet that calculated how many years, months, weeks, day, hours, minutes, and seconds I had left when I entered the current workday, correcting for holidays, weekends, and days off. Did the same thing manually, counting only days to discharge, when I was in the Army. It was a humorous way to keep positive. Have you ever seen one of those pictures of a beautiful woman with a calendar imprinted over her entire body? Yeah, that. hat
February 2, 20197 yr well, now that we are doing math.... 2018-1963 = 55 years. 55 x 365 = 20075 days. but don't forget the leap years (1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 - that's 13 more days) 20075+13+ (number of days from april 28, 2018 to today = 281) = 20369 oddly, this answer is different from that given by this website: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=4&d1=28&y1=1963&m2=2&d2=2&y2=2019&ti=on which gives 20370 as the correct answer. did they count 2000 as a leap year? it wasn't!
February 2, 20197 yr Popular Post Like Hat when I get up , after contemplating the idea for a while , thank the Lord for another day on this earth (pitiful tho it is). Then after the shower I feel like I can move around a little. The really hard part is getting up from the floor when something falls , happens more every day. Oh not me falling ....dropping something .
