Pickles by Brian Crane for October 21, 2018

very wise of you, Earl… I’ll have to remember that

I heard of those things but I really didn’t look forward to them. That didn’t stop them from happening though. :(

Doesn’t everybody?

I resemble those questions.

Earl you can be a Kill-Joy at times :-(

The headache part sounds worrying.

“Grampa, can I ask you a question?”“That WAS a question.”

And hemorrhoids, Earl. Don’t forget to tell Nelson about the hemorrhoids.

Talk about the Ghost of Christmas yet to come!

Didn’t know Earl was so cruel.

Nelson never realized there was so much fun to be had in getting old. Now he can’t wait!

The only things Earl didn’t mention were the medications you have to take and the creams you have to put on yourself to get yourself going!

Geezus, Earl. . .you’re your own worst enemy. Get a hobby, read a book, volunteer. . .now THAT would be a strip for the ages. . .Earl with a hobby. . .or volunteering. . .this is a pretty good time to be a senior. . .there’s LOTS available, if you want it.

He forgot about standing in front of that porcelain thing half the night.

In spite of all those old age issues.. Every day you can spend quality time with your grandchildren is a win.. and you are still in the game!

Way to scare Nelson for life Gramps.

——————-

I cannot see

I cannot pee

I cannot chew

I cannot screw

Oh my god, what can I do?

My memory shrinks

My hearing stinks

No sense of smell

I look like hell

My mood is bad – can you tell?

My body’s drooping

Have trouble pooping

The Golden Years

have come at last

The Golden Years

can kiss my ass.

Some say “I don’t care what they say about the Golden Years, getting Old Sucks!” I’m 82, and I say its different strokes for different folks! That said, I’m doing pretty good.

I suffered from headaches at Nelson’s age. Wasn’t till I was in my 50’s that I got something to reduce them to more manageable now starting in 2006. The second grade in Catholic school there is a vivid memory of heat and throbbing pain.

If I knew then what I know now——————-
