Don't we all know someone with the same attitude as Philemon? Hopefully it's not ourselves 😊. It seems old men are often portrayed as grumpy old men.

Well, as of Saturday I have another year under my belt and I am hoping no one is describing me in that way.

That being said, more and more things disgust me everyday BUT now I remind myself that God is in control and he will clean up the mess.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning Bob,

LOL, Bob! I've always said that one advantage of getting old is you can get away with being crabby and when my husband says I'm being crabby, I tell him it's an inherent part of my charm.

Good morning Bob. As I get older I find being crabby too much work for a poor result. I did not retire to work hard, I retired so I don't have to work. So I am never crabby and when headed in that direction I remind myself being crabby is too much work. Solves that problem. Enjoy your day.

That is a GREAT way to look at it Wayne Martin . I'm going to apply that to myself. 😃

Philemon does seem a bit crabby - I think everyone gets crabby from time to time. Moving past that is the important part!

Amen! I am getting pretty good at realizing that being crabby has little to no benefit so I refocus on the fact that God loves me (a job only He can do) Kat Palmiotti ☺️

seems like a glass half empty attitude...maybe even a half of a glass to begin with.

It's nice not to be able to find anything bad about the day, but not being able to find anything good about it either is a problem, haha.

Congratulations on another year around the sun. As long as you stay grateful you cannot be grumpy.

Hi Bob- at this age, I feel that one of the perks is I can choose who I want to be with and choose to be grumpy when I feel like it. Thankfully, that's not very often.

Good attitude Kathy Streib 😉. I do take a few liberties myself.

Old farts!   I think it takes patience and a whole lot of grit to deal with 'Senoritise'!!!! Hope you had a great birthday Bob!  I wished you well on FB 🎂

Thanks Anna "Banana" Kruchten , I can't believe that I keep forgetting about looking at FB. Even with this reminder I will probably get busy and forget again.
