Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 19, 2013

Haven’t worn a watch since I’ve retired, either.

I’m so gonna enjoy screwing with young people’s heads when I’m old and senile . . .ish.

Pick any time that’s right for you.

Was the punchline a waste of time?

people should not live by the clock. regimented our days and nights. scheduling every hour of every day. this is not right.

The only time that really matters, is DINNERTIME!!!

Birds care about what time it is. They pay attention to patterns of nature throughout the day to optimize their work efficiency. Failure.

Some retirees attend events. But those who can’t deal with clocks can easily be forgotten; their kids aren’t going to wait around.

It’s Sunday mornin’ – Spanky and Our Gang

Actually, time is more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…stuff.

I don’t bother with hours… I just count the months it’s called boredom.

Correction: not just solar but there is also lunar to a very large majority of peoples…..then, just to be technical, there is the astral time, and ………… so now I’m late……

It’s 5 o’clock, somewhere…

What’s really interesting is how few people do wear watches, relying instead upon the clocks in their cell phones.

Since I retired I need a watch to make sure I get to the golf course for my tee time and a calendar to get to the doctor’s on the right day.

They haven’t worn a watch since retirement? Did they not get a gold watch?

Without time, speed could not be calculated, so if the clocks are done away with, cops can’t write speeding tickets.

my husband said I wouldn’t be really retired until I couldn’t remember what day of the week it was…………it took about 6 months

@Alexikakos……..“does anybody real care”

For those of you worried about time : Today is the Tomorrow ,You Worried About Yesterday….And Now You Know Why !

I also have not worn a watch, or carried a cell phone with a clock, since I retired in 1998. Have not missed it for a minute either. My wrist watch sits, rusting in a drawer someplace, I haven’t a clue where. Bernie and Phil have it exactly right. The only thing is, time seems to have speeded up, weeks and months go by so quickly that I can not keep track. I remember back when I was about 10, days, weeks, and months seemed to last forever, now, I look at todays paper and see tha it is already the 19th of May. Amazing how fast a week goes by, there are never enough hours in the day

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

He kind of looks like an overweight Earl Pickles.

That’s true but I’d really rather that it be on MY schedule, not theirs.

I get bored if not doing something that requires a watch. Mon.: Got to gym, community band practice (in season); Tue. Cook for six. Wed. Make sure garbage is put out, Gym, eat out, go to study course at church; Thur. Band practice, may have concert; Fri. Eat out, Gym, maybe cook for six (in St. Pete, cook three big courses for soup-kitchen type deal at church; Sat. Dump/recycling run, take kids to lunch, maybe haircuts; Sun. Take girls to lobby of North Shore Gathering, get NY Times at Starbucks, take girls to restaurant, misc. errands. Daily: get paper at conv. store across highway, try to pick up, give bath to youngest, put on dishes, clothes, try to get kids to help, play Boxerjam’s Strike A Match, read selected GoComics, email to husband.

i always go back to the Metaphysics Lecture:time is like a river zat flows endlessly sru ze universe and you couldn’t step in the same river tvice helen.

I’m in my seventies and bought a wall clock that only shows what day it is. Seems like everyday is like another.
