New Yorkers

"I Have.."

I've sure gotten old. I've had 2 By-pass surgeries.
A hip replacement, new knees.
Fought prostate cancer, and diabetes.
I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that make me dizzy,
I'm winded, and subject to blackouts.

Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation,
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends.

But..... Thank G~d, I still have my Florida driver's license!

"Argument"

Have you ever noticed that retired couples have
reached a level of maturity where they never have
any of those piddling little quarrels that other
people do?

They have one big argument that starts at seven
in the morning and goes right through 'til bedtime.

"New Yorkers"

Here's an interesting note for the next time you
go to New York City.

Did you know that all the pedestrian light buttons
were disabled in the late 80s and nobody noticed?
Seems they set the lights to go off (on computer
generated intervals), making the lights unnecessary
and it wasn't in the budget, taking down the buttons
and signs.

They're not hurting anything and people still believe
in them, so what's the harm?

It just tickled me to think of the millions of people who
have patiently pushed those buttons for the last 30 years
and waited for the lights. New Yorkers, ya gotta love 'em.
