Interesting comments between seniors

[TennVet]

After retiring I started a part time job driving cars part time at an auto auction. I needed to be active outside, and in my case I feel a need to have a daily routine. When Covid imposed a lot of restrictions on what we do and how, I decided I would no longer pursue that part time job. When telling my wife about my decision, she gave me one of her thought provoking responses. She said, "well it's up to you, but I'll miss you not being gone." As I reflect on those words I still think I got the bad end of our little discussion.

Gotta love it

I saw an old gal struggling with putting her groceries in her car

I jumped outa my truck and offered a hand

She said;
'Where were you five minutes ago when I put all the heavy bags in my car?'

You got to love those sly little digs!

I see a lot of clever thought that erupts spontaneously and keeps things interesting. My wife is a smart cookie and her humor is one of the things that first attracted me.

I have a very close friend who is 5 days older than me. We have known each other for over 30 years now. We met for lunch the other day and she made some off handed remark about how she will will "go" before I do. As silly as it sounds I kind of took offense to that and told her that I will certainly be the first to "go" since I did lead a rather unhealthy lifestyle earlier in my life. We bantered back in forth on this subject for about ten minutes and then I think we both realized at the same time that the topic was rather morbid and moved on to other things.

When greeted by an old friend, she commented, "You're looking so much better." Huh? Better than what? What did I look like before?

Good one!! Just wait until you start slowly falling apart and then you start leaving parts of yourself lying around the house, her comments become less clever.

I think, therefore, I thought so.

You did get the bad end TennVet.

I wonder when my neighbor lady says "How are you feeling" instead of hello. I always wonder if I look ill.

I have the same experience with my neighbours.
My standard answer now is 'Okay'.....no details
At age 91 don't ask me how I am 'feeling'.
That really requires a long complicated answer.

My husband is five years younger, so we think I'll go first, but then he has A-fib and gets blood clots at times, but then I have high blood pressure, but then he drives crazy, but then I'm usually in the passenger seat... it goes on and on.

Sounds sort of depressing Della. .... haha ....

I had two good friends, who were an "old married couple ". They had this large glass coffee table. I stopped in for coffee, and the coffee table was shattered. I asked what happened. They had a fight when some things got thrown. And what was the heated fight about?
Who loved who more.

Had to remind the Grandson that his feet up on the table of The Daughters Patio table was rude. haha

Here was a conversation between 2 residents that I overheard a few years ago, at the nursing home where I work.

Resident #1 (female): "What?"
Resident #2 (male): "I didn't say anything."
Resident #1: "Of course you didn't say anything! You don't know anything!"
