Blackwater 53393 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 REMEMBER!! You didn’t get this old by being stupid! You may have slowed down, but now you can afford faster vehicles! It’s easier to ignore people now. They just assume that you can’t hear them! Now you can get revenge on your kids for all their bad behavior as children! Now you don’t have to eat those damned peas if you don’t want to!! You can now take being “carded” as a compliment! When you smile, people wonder what YOU know that they don’t!! Nap time is when YOU say it is! You can now avoid those relatives you don’t like without offending the ones you do like!! You can procrastinate without making excuses!! BEST OF ALL!! You can eat desert first and not feel bad about it!! 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 As you got older you have learned that "being patient" is better than "being a patient." Growing old is not for "sissies." A good day is a day without "Depends." When we were young it was like the Tom T. Hall country song: "Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money." Now as we are older it's: "Electric scooters, older women, Metimucil, no money." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Gun Jimmy Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 4 minutes ago, Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 said: AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT SONNY! We are about 8 posts like this away from a full on grandpa rant. "Back in my day" "Need some RESPECT" "Any body under 40 is soft" "Uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes " "You dadgum whip er snappers!!" "If I had that attitude I woulda hada picked a switch" "You don't know how easy you got it boy" I used to work in a warehouse slinging RC cola when I was about 18-19. Crotchety old man that ran the forklift named Jim ironically enough, came over to me one day and said " You know you intrigue me" I said " yea? Why's that sir?" He said " well, generally I have a rule that if your under about 35 to 40, I aint got no use for ya....but you, for whatever reason don't seem to piss me off regularly.... call me Jim by the way" "Thanks Jim" That's a true story, we became pretty good friends over the few years I worked there. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Old men don’t run from a fight. Most of us are too stove up, too stubborn, or just too damned tired! This is where experience, treachery, and marksmanship tend to rear their ugly heads!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have to shoot you consider that for people my age a life sentence or threat of execution isn't much of a deterent, and if I get a good attorney I'll get get parole until the trail and I will probably die of old age before that date comes around.....and YOU won't be there to see it, anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
