It fer damn sure ain’t for sissies!!

 

I’m aged, not aged*!

 

*aged: pronounced ay-jed

Mom used to say "Getting old is not for the faint of heart."  89 - good till the last year, but she had her smarts to the end.  A slightly earlier exit probably would have been more pleasant for her.

I'm reading this as I lie in bed with pain patches and ice packs. Been skim coating and sanding ceilings in Kaya's new house. Shoulders are a tad sore.

I always thought of aged as a verb.

 

We will age the cheese. Later we find that the cheese has aged long enough.

 

While ay-jed is an adjective. He is an old person. He is an ay-jed person.

No and yes…

 

After you get older you’re ay-jed.

 

Once you age your cheese or you beef it becomes aged  cheese or aged beef!

 

I refuse to be ay-jed, but I am properly aged !

I'll take a loud motorcycle tailpipe over an aged human male's constricted front pipe any day of the week.

Personally, I am neither aged nor ay-jed.

 

I'm old.

Law Enforcement Wisdom to young idiots:

"Don't mess with guys that have gotten old in a job that's rough on young guys."

Never underestimate old men!  They probably didn’t get old being weak or stupid!!

Never pick a fight with an Old Man. If he's too old to fight you, he'll just kill you.🚑

The late Paul Harvey one time made mention of "Seasoned Citizens."

I rather like that phrase.

I've known folks that could be described as rather salty ...

My memory is fine.  It's the retrieval system that's slowing down. 😂🤣

None of these are funny.  They all cut too close to the bone.  

 

Well, they do!

No we didn't and I have very few scars because it's easier to give them than it is to let someone scar me up.

[Blackwater 53393]

Look carefully!!  Scars indicate survival!!

 

Scars are tattoos with better stories behind ‘em!!
