LOL. I usually put my shirt on backwards even though I I just checked to make sure
I wasn’t. We used to laugh at old people wearing their pants up high above their belly, now I can relate.
I was diagnosed with Neuropathy about 20 years ago, and had to retire 5 years ago finally admitting my legs had made me a danger to myself. Putting pants on with this defect is almost comical sometimes. Frustrating though. Having to get handicapped plates for my car and facing the probability that one day I will not be able to walk. But for now, my stubbornness keeps me walking and I am just thankful for what I have now, which includes a bed that I can sit down on to put my pants on with. Oh well, as long as people don’t start comparing me to Job again. I always tell them, I only WISH I had that much faith.
keep movin as much as you can.. things stop workin if they’re not used! LOL my wife got a handicapped parking pass.. but we’re in a 55 plus neighorhood and all the spaces are already taken most of the time!
The belt of truth …it’s getting tighter…that made me laugh…it also occurs to me that it could have cultural implications…. maybe that’s why nobody wants to believe the truth anymore. Anyway this was a particularly funny nutshell…maybe because it’s so relatable…lol
Man oh Man B getting taken down by a pair of pants you are trying to put on is hilarious you got me with that one. I understand though , senior moments come way to often the older we get . For me having anything like that doesn’t bother me as much as long as I’m in the privacy of my own home away from other eyes . When out in public that’s a whole nuther thang cause now you got to play the play it off role when you have find the rest room only to find out that you have been walking around all day with your shirt on backwards ! How bout walking out of a store and you don’t see the step down from the store side walk to the road and you lose your balance and try to regain it by trying to act as if yeah I meant to come off this side walk this way with the flop jog thing . Trying to play stuff off when others see you do things is what you find yourself doing more frequently now cause you just aren’t ready to surrender to everything older age may have for you. There is still something inside even through our most embarrassing senior moments makes us sometime buck the gradual inevitable slide and say like that man did a couple of Saturdays ago I’m not going out like this fight fight fight !
Reminds me of the blond joke. Why do blondes write tgif on their shoes?
Toe go in first. So at some point decisions get more deliberate.
Pray for grace. And yeah we already put those hand rails in the showers. Mostly for my parents, but they come in handy…
These days I dress quickly in the running shorts of faith, the shirt of the spirit and the running shoes of strength. That’s about it. Still have to grab something to get those shorts on though.
