Anticipating Codgerdom
Sometimes I have a feeling I’m becoming rather stuffy.
My reflexes, once numerous, are getting sort of fluffy.
Whereas shocking folks was once my avocation,
all of my bravado seems to be on a vacation.
But probably my seventies are simply a respite.
Once I become older, I can cuss and hit and bite
and create all the problems in the realm of my ability
and everyone will not blame me. They’ll blame it on senility

I admit to laughing out loud at that picture. Thanks so much for sharing it. Tell me: Was he aware he’d been photographed? Had he just woken up? Hubby used to look like that time to time, and wasn’t pleased I had a camera. Come to think of it, hubby never liked the camera…

He had just awakened, loves this photo and is pleased every time I use it. Go figure!!!

Nope. Equally descriptive of every sex.

I keep trying to “like.” But I can’t. WordPress. Gotta love’em. I don’t have the energy to try to deal with WP too.

It keeps changing my editing after it is saved, published and viewed. Then the next time it is changed. I edit and save again. It is right. Next time, changed back again. Mainly centering and color of type.

There are a LOT of problems right now. Everyone is having some kind of issue. I was fine, but yesterday, it all crumbled.

Sorry..It’s a bitch when this happens. My problems are small in comparison, but I’ve been there when they are as serious as yours are.

All blogs including my own. It’s a WP problem. Many people have had the same problem. I am just too tired to take on WordPress right now.

I’ve felt the same way. Too many other matters more important.

Your “like” on Unfortunate Costume Choices worked, Marilyn.

That was because I used notifications. I CAN’T use it on a post response — not mine or anyone else’s. This is a really bizarre bunch of problems. I’m hoping they just fix them and I don’t have to negotiate with them. I really AM tired.
