Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for January 16, 2017

Happy Birthday Rose! I had it on my calendar even without your reminder. I don’t think women can be geezers. For men, I think it allows certain privileges. There was a commentary in AARP a while back about “geezing” the young women in the neighborhood.

Hmm, I wonder how blue Bluebell is!

Happy Birthday, Rose! If old men are geezers, does that make old women geezettes? You’re not really old until you start thinking you’re old.

My sister’s husband was “old” by the age of 50 (if not sooner), because he thought of himself that way. Now he is 69 and he looks at least 80. In fact, he looked 80 a few years ago. He hasn’t had a job in the past 40 years, relying on my sister to earn the family’s living while he just sat at home watching TV all day.

You’re as old as you feel. Age is just a number. I don’t know you personally, but I doubt if you’re at the “geezer” stage yet. My sister’s husband has been a geezer for about 20 years.

Sounds like my late mother, for as far back as I could remember, she would say she couldn’t do this or that or wear any latest fashion, because she was too old. And what would people think. Well I dress like a 20 year old and I don’t care what people think. It rubs off, I don’t look my age!

I don’t know how to tamper like Susan or Stel, but I had a cake delivered to the Tiki for you.

Happy Birthday to you, BBEAR! – Happy Birthday to you, Last Summer Rose! – Happy Birthday to you, JP Steve! – Happy Birthday to all of you I forgot to mention!

I’m still online with my daughter’s laptop. Hope to get my new PC soon.

Happy Birthday Last Rose, may the day bring you friendly purrs.

“Geezer” is basically slang (largely used in Cockney speaking territories) for a man. Women aren’t geezers. They’re “Richards.”

One of the oddities I’ve noted is that people who don’t speak Cockney as a first language tend to use the entire slang word instead of the abbreviated non-rhyming component.

So instead of -

“So, this iron walks in wearing a fancy whistle and starts giving us porkies”

- you get -

“This iron hoof walks in wearing a fancy whistle and flute and starts giving us pork pies” – which is a lot more ungainly.

And yes, I grew up in that area.

Hoppy, Hoppy, Hoppy Birthday, LRoS!

Katherine’s computer is still down, she asked me to say Happy Birthday for her.

Happy birthday to Last Rose of Summer. May your day be as wonderful as mine was yesterday.

I posted six pictures today to the Ten Cats Fan Club page on Facebook and to Photobucket.

This kitty uses some of his catitude as he confronts a certain type of individual.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAST ROSE OF SUMMER – I hope your day is as special as you are. In fact, I hope it is purrfect! Better hurry to the Tiki for a piece of cake before I get there. I love birthday cake!

I love this comic. I guess it is really cold in the warehouse. Poor kitties.

Hi, Marge, the German Graham Cracker. Good luck in getting your computer. Always better to have you very own.

Happy Birthday Last Rose!! My parents have always firmly believed in acting and dressing how you feel rather than your actual age and they both are mistaken for much younger than the early 70’s that they are so continue on behaving as you like :-)

Happy Birthday Rose…and many more.

EGAD! Time got away from me!:( Happy Belated Birthday Bbear! I’ll post on Facebook too!

Picked up some storage units at IKEA the other day which pleased the boys – it is so fascinating watching your humans put things together especially when you “help” and there’s always boxes to play in. I also bought them a doll’s bed to sleep on so they’d quit fighting over the cardboard scratcher (it’s the best to sleep on apparently though I don’t think it can be comfortable). Wasn’t sure they’d use it but Dean’s decided it’s okay for napping though he only just fits on it – http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss159/pookybearharris/Vancouver%20area%20snaps/local%20pics/027_zpsqtafjfgo.jpg

@LAST ROSE OF SUMMER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And (hopefully) many many more!

Nobody is an “old geezer” unless they want to be.

;-D

Stay “Forever young” in CATTITUDE , and everything will be OK.

Happy Birthday, Rose!

I actually laughed out loud at ‘blue’ Lily. FUNNY!!!!

Rose, I’m going to wish you a most wonderful birthday here on TEN CATS rather than travel over to Ballard Street. If there is any left-over cake we’d sure appreciate some.

Very Happy Birthday, LRofS. Hope your day has been just fantastic,,,er,,cat-tastic..and may you have many, many more,,,stay young.

Happy Birthday Last Rose of Summer! I hope you had an awesome day! Hugs, Jazz and Sheba >^..^<
