I must agree all above is truth ☹️

Frank said...

All of those are pretty good. Some more accurate than others. I have photos which I use to prove to myself that I was once young and kind of cute. For guys, it’s the nose hairs and ear hairs that are a nuisance. Have a good morning and not too many aches or pains. (It’s gotten to the point where my aches have pains!)

Tom said...

...Debra, these are FABULOUS!

Marie Smith said...

The second meme would be true, if one could get a doctor.

Boud said...

The corn maze suits some of us at any age. No sense of direction. I bet I could get lost in there.

Rade said...

ALL OF THESE!!!

Val Ewing said...

Yeah, I forget what I went to the kitchen for all of the time...even when I am in the kitchen.

Ms. Moon said...

Oh god. It's all so true. So very, very true.

Anonymous said...

🤣 Great points, Frank! I made my Hubby write his wedding vows to include "No visible nose hairs, ear hairs, and absolutely no MSE!!"*
* Mad Scientist Eyebrows 🤬

Martha said...

These are all so funny, and unfortunately so true!

Cleora Borealis said...

🤣 Fran Lebowitz has been my sarcasm (reality) guru for decades!* I haven't known you as long, Debra, but you definitely are on my sarcasm style crew! 🥰
* My first sarcasm guru was the cartoon character Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent on the "Beany & Cecil" show. Think earlier "Ren & Stimpy" style. In fact, the creator of Ren and pals, John Kricfalusi (Canadian! 💪), credited the Beany and pals creator, Bob Clampett, as his main influence!! ♥️

Travel said...

There was a backup going into the parking garage at the Farmer's Market this morning, and I almost gave up and came home.

DVArtist said...

OMG I'm cracking up. These are so funny and so true on some of them

Lady M said...

Ahh these are great. I can relate especially to the goat hairs on the chin. Those little suckers are sneaking growth hormone or something.

Bob said...

That second-to-last hurt!

Kathy G said...

Yup!

Yvonne said...

This had me laughing all the way through. Wonderful!

Moving with Mitchell said...

These all hit too close to home!

Mistress Maddie said...

Is this what I have to look forward too???? Peter Pan doesn't like this.

MELODY JACOB said...

The parking one, hahahha make sense tho

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear Debra, these are hilarious, and so true! LOL!!!

The Happy Whisk said...

Yes, on the age you just completed. My late mom used to say this to me all the time and it was always very funny the chats about it. Can I just be this age for one day? Okay, she said, for one day but tomorrow you're the next age.

Cracked me up, she did.

Tundra Bunny said...

Alas, it's not just my cereal that goes snap, crackle and pop in the mornings, LOL!

Ageing is a privilege that one gets to experience all phases of life

peppylady (Dora) said...

We all age, or least some of do.

Kirk said...

I'm hitching a ride with Oscar.

Asep Haryono said...

With gratitude in our hearts, we embrace every moment, trusting that a long, vibrant, and healthy life is still unfolding ahead of us.

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Funny choices. My mother would often say, "I don't recommend growing old Neil."
P.S. Neil is my real name in case you thought that I was genuinely called Yorkshire Pudding!

Leanna said...

The travel and glowstick are SO spot on. Betty Davis said, " Old age is no place for sissies." I concur.

DB Stewart said...

That corn maze is likely still overpriced, ha.

Liz Hinds said...

What can I say? absolutely! Oh those chin hairs.

e said...

These were all funny! Especially the glow stick, the chin hairs and the parking... Thank, D!

RedPat said...

These are great. Had me nodding and laughing all the way through.

CaptainKirt said...

Annoyingly so many are accurate.

Fundy Blue said...

These all resonate with me, Debra! 😂 I've had too many friends die young, so I'm very grateful for this crispy time of life!
