Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

people can’t possibly get any stupider!
And every day I’m proven horribly wrong. :roll:
A saying I use quite often "I tried to make it fool proof but they just keep breeding better fools"
The other one I like "you can't fix stupid, but gaffer tape certainly quietens it down"

and of course the old engineer's joke "Why have you tied his hand together behind his back using cable ties? " "Less things I have to fix after he's been here" says the fitter, "cable tie technology is was outside his skill set" :lol:

Age has its advantages.

Pity I can’t remember what they are…

"tanks" here---
I have posted this under Thought for Today, but you can also read it as THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW.


When I was much younger, in fact as I was entering my early teen years, my grandfather told me that there was “nothing to equal the gladness and joy of making and keeping friends”, and I have found this to be the case as I have progressed through life.

As I am now in my mid 80's and heading for the 90 year mark, I find that most of those I had regarded as my friends have died –many of them died during their late 50's.

As you get older you tend to be more reserved or cautious in making new friends, or even associating with unknown people. The friends or associates that I have are mainly members of this Forum; several of whom In have meet in person, and others that I only know through their postings on the Forum.

Another thing that my grandfather told me is:
“No person at any time can aspire to infallibility , but all persons at all times can set down their honest opinion. These opinions may change, partly because circumstances change, and partly because we obtain new information that caused us to modify our view”.

Thanking you all just for being there.
Keith.
I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

It’s probably my age which tricks people into thinking I’m an adult…
