Simplified Urine Test For Seniors

Avoid those lab tests and costly co-pays that your doctor's tell you to get at Quest Diagnostics.

Simply go outside and pee in the front yard.

If ant's gather: DIABETES.
If you pee on your feet: PROSTATE
If it smells like a barbecue: CHOLESTEROL
If your wrist hurts when you shake it: OSTEOARTHRITIS

If you return to your house with your penis outside your pants: ALZHEIMER'S

Ability to decipher creaks, aches and sinus issues seems to improve with each additional year above Baby Yoda's age (50).
Noticed the past two mornings that I am having pain in right lower leg just above the heel (tendon?) so I have to kind of limp in the first couple of hours. Then realized what an idiot I've been-I have been tucking my right leg across chair seat (while on the computer) and placing left leg over that very area of right foot that is hurting. Will add a box or books on floor to keep my right leg elsewhere. The pain's been real!

You realize that even though you're old enough to. You no longer want to sit up all night!

Unless the book or tv show is so engrossing, you feel compelled to keep on reading or watching. Can be fun!

Four days on and my left thigh socket & joint feel like they need interior oil. Or The Child/Baby Yoda hid the Mandalorian's shiny control stick knob on my chair under said socket. Feels like something's been irritating one side of the socket and it has not gone away. ARRRGGH.

Some rhyming to lift us all up!!!


I'm normally a social girl
I love to meet my mates
But lately with the virus here
We can't go out the gates.

You see, we are the 'oldies' now
We need to stay inside
If they haven't seen us for a while
They'll think we've upped and died.

They'll never know the things we did
Before we got this old
There wasn't any Facebook
So not everything was told.

We may seem sweet old ladies
Who would never be uncouth
But we grew up in the 60s -
If you only knew the truth!

There was sex and drugs and rock 'n roll
The pill and miniskirts
We smoked, we drank, we partied
And were quite outrageous flirts.

Then we settled down, got married
And turned into someone's mum,
Somebody's wife, then nana,
Who on earth did we become?

We didn't mind the change of pace
Because our lives were full
But to bury us before we're dead
Is waving a red rag to a bull!

So here you find me stuck inside
For 4 weeks, maybe more
I finally found myself again
Then I had to close the door!

It didn't really bother me
I'd while away the hour
I'd bake for all the family
But I've got no bloody flour!

Now Netflix is just wonderful
I like a gutsy thriller
I'm swooning over Idris
Or some random sexy killer.

At least I've got a stash of booze
For when I'm being idle
There's wine and whiskey, even gin
If I'm feeling suicidal!

So let's all drink to lockdown
To recovery and health
And hope this bloody virus
Doesn't decimate our wealth.

We'll all get through the crisis
And be back to join our mates
Just hoping I'm not far too wide
To fit through the flaming gates!
