The problem with getting older is that it can lead to a loss of memory. Or, worse, it can lead to a loss of memory.
@msolga,

No, say it isn't so!
I always pictured you as being in your late 40s, early 50s.
@ossobuco,
I've oft fallen for male voices..
speaking of Leonard Cohen. Also my ex.
OK I'm confused, is geezer masculine, and is geezerette feminine, what is the grammatical rule viz a viz gender.
Jeez - what a bunch of geezers!
I'm only 33 - mind you, I've been 33 for a number (a goodish number) of years now!
I haven't got any older. I haven't grown up yet. I have, however, and unfortunately, grown out!

How old are you in cat years???
From Good weekend magazine: (suplement to Saturday THE AGE daily newspaper)
Numbercrunch Proportion of American men aged 75-85 yearold who say they are still interested in sex: 41% women: 11.4%
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
spendi mutters into his beard--"it's being so cheerful that keeps me going".
Thought I'd pass some gas
Now I've got to wipe my nose -

@edgarblythe,
Edgar, shame on you! My Dolly doggie got a sniff of your fart and passed out. I took her to the Vet and she said Dolly was the victim of a terrorist fart attack. My Madison doggie is looking for you to attack you with one of his poops.

@BumbleBeeBoogie,
Punky will protect me. She's mean. The other day I thought I saw some sort of child's toy on the floor. Turned out it was a lizard in three pieces.
@edgarblythe,
That's what happens when you have a sign on your front door "Lizards Welcome."

@BumbleBeeBoogie,
They shouldn't break out of the corral.
@BumbleBeeBoogie,
