Much talk has been going around lately about how we're living in the last few gasps of civilization's breath. Some quote Nostradamus; others Revelations. All I know is that the weather has been goofy lately, it snowed in Hawaii in June, and last week my doctor was early for my appointment with him. Early! A doctor! Three exam rooms, no waiting! That's scary.
Ladies, a tip that will save your sanity as well as your appearance. Ever get in the car and realize you're not wearing lipstick? Dive into your purse, fish out your lipstick — before you start the car, of course — and use the rear view mirror to apply it. Whatever you do, don't use the mirror on the back of the sun visor, Trust me on this one; you don't want to see that closely. Besides if you use the rear view mirror you have to tilt your head back a little, and that's good exercise for the sagging neck.
It's amazing how your attitude changes about some things. Ten years ago when I was earlier into my M&M years (between menopause and Medicare) but not quite senior status, I was checking out groceries and a snarky little child just barely out of Pampers who was working the cash register asked me if I wanted the senior discount. I informed her that I did not qualify, and she said "I'll give it to you anyway." Little twit!
Now fast forward 10 years. I'm shopping with a friend in an apparel store I'd been to the day before; she wanted to go after I told her about what I'd bought. The saleswoman offered my friend (only two years older than I) a senior discount. I was really ticked! Not for my friend, she can be ticked for her own reasons, but she wasn't. No one offered me a discount the day before! Never mind that I should be flattered that the saleslady didn't think I was a senior -- I WANTED that discount!
One last thought. It's summer and baseball is being played at all levels. There's something traditional about baseball reports on the news, hearing the play by play on radio, the warmth of the sun at the ball field, the taste of hotdogs — the crack of the bat on the ball. There's just something wrong about the clink of the ball on an aluminum bat. Whose idea was that anyway?
Just thinking....
