Tea and buttered toast is the go-to meal plan when one needs something to eat and can be prepared within 10 minutes and have a place setting put on the table with the good china!

Before energy drinks, caramels and hard candies existed as energy boosters (reason why they are in purses and cupboards).

Can decide if any new technology is worth bothering to learn. Those plastic devices sure like dust and dirt and cleaning small things is not fun most times unless in the right mood. Before stainless steel appliances, the coloured kitchen appliances kind of withstood a certain amount of fingerprints and spills until one had to wipe them down.

I'm not sure what is great about getting old, I'm trying to add it all up,
Maybe it's good that we're all allowed to add some oompth to our coffee cup,
We see things that make us wonder what on earth are they thinking?
Will all those tattoos look as nice when they find their stature shrinking?
We have the things behind us that I think are decent & fabulously grand,
We also have logic & reasoning that them young people just can't understand,
We all seem to be armed with cell phones & wireless devices that keep us all tuned in,
We also know the sadness of loss & how to take one on the chin,
We know about having to wait our turn & how to line up at the teller's,
When we went to school we learned our weekly words from our speller's,
Now the world is different around me I'm not so sure where I fit into the curve,
Sometimes I speak my mind & sometimes I just observe,
I ache with the discomfort of ailments, but I ache with laughter too,
Getting old seems to take practice & a feisty point of view!
