Why Is It ...

… that when I was at the doctor’s recently the nurse asked me to step on the scale; I was told there’d be no fact checking.

… that at my age getting lucky means finding my car in the parking lot.

… that people don’t realize that not only am I not a perfect person and I am also not trying to be a better person.

… that I may look normal,  but I talk to myself and then laugh afterwards.

…  that when I see people arguing online I automatically believe whomever is spelling correctly and using proper grammar.

… that the way I stay indoors makes me feel like I’m becoming furniture.

… that I don’t like when people ask what I did over the weekend. I don’t know! I breathed a lot. Probably got mad a bit. Sighed heavily. The list goes on.

… that while I have a really good heart and I also have a smart mouth and I’m a little bit mean.

… that nobody is busier than me when I am not interested in you …  “Let me close the fridge and I’ll call you back.”

… that when I tell Alexa to remind me to go to the gym, she says, ‘I have added gin to your shopping list’ and I think, ‘Close enough.’

    It's scary, Bob, that you know me so well!! When I call upon the aid of my better angels, the response is always, "and, you are...?" 🤨

  4. " ...people don’t realize that not only am I not a perfect person and I am also not trying to be a better person" Okay but what we really need to know Bob is this - Are you living your "best life"? I keep hearing that expression and wondering what the hell it means.

  8. I don't know how you do it each week, but I laugh at several of these every time. The better person one truly resonates.

  11. The one about spelling and grammar is not a silly one, and tells us why literacy is so important.
