As a child, I thought my father just “knew” how to fix everything. Since he’s gone and I’ve aged a few years, I’ve come to understand that he didn’t really “know” how to fix things. It was more a mix of life experience and not being afraid to get his hands dirty.
Being polite to people will always serve you better.
Grandma was one helluva good cook.
Since they don’t make good movies like they used to, it’s sure nice that the shows available on t.v. or cable are better (Sopranos, GoT, Lost, Shameless, The Office, etc.)
#8- It’s amazing how old other people my age seem to be.
sorry my English sucks, just want to know that if I get the right understanding of this sentence…
you mean other people seems old so you are younger?
Does it mean that you got a young heart or something else? and try to tell us we should keep our mind to keep us young@@?
Hi, ziv, welcome. The saying is a sarcastic way of poking fun at ourselves for being “old” when we look in the mirror, but still thinking in our hearts that we’re secretly only 27 or so. My particular problem is I felt like I was born age 27, but never finished growing up (early partial maturity, I guess LOL). In the linked song, think about the lyrics of the third and fourth verses. If, by chance, you happen to be getting older yourself, you may see that reflection some future day. I already identify with it. Mary Hopkin Those were the days lyrics - YouTube
One of my favs has always been the Richard Pryor line about (paraphrasing) there’s no such thing as an old fool. You don’t get to be old bein’ no fool.
I always liked older people when I was a kid. Still do, obviously, or I wouldn’t have any friends!
On a side note…yes Mike Sexton was a nice guy. I just read Stuey’s bio at wiki the other day (wasn’t around him much) and saw where Mike tried to help him. I knew about the Billy Baxter part however. Some of the more colorful “old” characters at the Horseshoe were a few low-limit ones. I called Jim Albrecht at home at 5am one morning to ask him about what I should do about ‘ole man Russ’ pulling a pistol on ‘Charlie Chan’. It’s a great story!
Since I might never be this old again, I choose to think it’s hilarious that when I try to get dressed and don’t get all my toes in a sock and I pull the sock it shoots across the room and then my dog grabs it and runs, so I just put on thongs.
That’s why you wear flip flops, lol I live in Humboldt, a rainforest, and in my college days, everyone would ask me why I was always wearing flip flops or Birkenstocks, when it rained. I said “do your socks dry between classes”? I’m dry within minutes of joining the class. I also tended to wear shorts for the same reason…who wants to wear wet jeans all day, lol.
