The Truth is Out There (And it Hurts)

Danger! The truth is out there and it hurts!

THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY! We must stop this immediately!

Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper?

Groceries are heavier and everything is farther away. Yesterday, I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

happy older lady You know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up, they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am...a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me. I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning and, in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

happy older lady Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?

I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too. They've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!

happy older ladies All I can do is pass along this warning: WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were.

One of my most absolute favoritist commercials ever:

Nice Lab!

Oh yes that does happen doesn't it. We are all in the same race and some are just further ahead than others.

Thanks, Alix.

But we all end up at the finish line eventually, don't we Mark?

I love the commercial too. Thanks for the humorous way of reminding us that we all will get old but we have the permission to still live the that we have.

Funny! Nothing like reality hitting us in the face, then denying it. How cool is that!

And cameras... have you had your picture taken lately. I did and even though I'm still young and skinny, my butt took up the whole photograph, it really must be those new fangled digital cameras doing that right?

Thanks for the laugh girl. This was priceless.

Weird. I have noticed the same thing. Must be the air in So. Cal.

Whatever.

When you're hot, you're hot, no matter how far ahead you are in the race.

And you are definitely hot................

One's perspective is a funny thing!

I love your dog!

Let me put my glasses on to read this!

Cute post -- lots true for sure -- certainly for some -- and yes, cute dog.

Cute, humorous post. No your eyes are not changing, your arms are just getting shorter ☺☺☺

Helping you live your American dream...

I think that is called . . .getting old. It is not a conspiracy , just a new way of life.

a life we must all adapt

Society overall. . isn't nice

Heather - Yeah, but you still have B-I-N-G-O!!!! :D

Glad you liked it, Theodora. I can't help but start bouncing around when I see the commercial. It makes me smile everytime.

I'll be turning 39 in two weeks, Sara. No, REALLY, 39, not 40...39! I keep getting told that, um, "things change" once you hit 40. This makes me laugh.

Oh, Tammy. I KNOW cameras lie. See, there is no way I look THAT bad. My mirror says, "Hey, good lookin'!" while my camera says "You might want to fix yourself up a little." :)

If you can't chew it, Jane, it's NOT air, right? (Ew and LOL)

You are SUCH a flirt, Ralph! (blush)

Thanks, Brian. I love my dog, too.

Um, you might want to move the computer further away from your face or push your chair further back, Mark. Mark?

Thank you, Bob and Carolin.

I've been offering to hold my parents' menus up for them so they can read them for years, Michael, since their arms seem to be getting shorter and the print is getting smaller.

I'm sticking with the conspiracy theory, Fernando. ;)

Damn right, Judy! LOL

Heather - not quite what I expected, but, thoroughly enjoyable, and somewhat true. I think people are driving slower now, but maybe it's just a bunch of old folks out there on those country roads. But why is this Byrd's song going through my mind ever since I read this?

Heather,

LOL, everything you said is so true! And what an unfortunate conspiracy for us all. Love the pictures, too.

We featured you in Cosmic Cow Pie for funny friday stuff!

And.. thanks so much for commenting in "Stessed in Scottsdale" on Jean Rubin's blog.. what a great cyberfriend you are

Heather, this post was refreshing and ligthearted; a joy to read. I must say, I went to the eye doctor yesterday and my vision, well, it improved ~ praise God.
