NEW SENIOR VIRUS
Just got this in from a reliable source.
It seems there is a virus called the “Senile Virus”
that even the most advanced programs of Norton
and McAfee cannot take care of it, so be warned.
The virus appears to affect those of us who were born before 1965!
Symptoms of the Senile Virus:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.
2. Causes you to send blank e-mail.
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person.
4. Causes you to send e-mail back to the person who sent it to you.
5. Causes you to forget to attach attachments.
6. Causes you to hit “SEND” before you’ve finished the e-mail.
Remember???????
I don’t remember if I sent this one out…......
I don’t think I did…or did you send it to me??
Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded…
God grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run
into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now that I’m ‘older’ (but refuse to grow up), here’s what I’ve discovered:
1 I started out with nothing, and I still got dang near all of it left.
2 My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran.
3 I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart.
4 Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded…
5 Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded…
6 All reports are in; life is now officially unfair.
7 If all is not lost, where is it?
8 It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
9 Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded…
10. Some days you’re the dog; some days you’re the hydrant.
11. I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few…
12. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
13. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
14. Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded…
15 It’s hard to make a come back when you “ain’t been nowhere”.
16. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you’re in the bathroom.
17. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.
18. When I’m finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?
19. Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded…
20. It’s not hard to meet expenses… they’re everywhere.
21. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
22. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the HEREAFTER..
I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I’m here after.
23. I AM UNABLE TO REMEMBER IF I HAVE MAILED THIS TO YOU OR NOT!
24. Funny, I don’t remember being . . . . . absent minded…

It is really strange sometimes you think you are the only one , then you speak to people of a similar age and it seems to happen to everyone. The worst is when you go upstairs for something in particular but by the time you have got to the top of the stairs you can’t remember for the life of you what you were going up for.Then you have to retrace your steps hoping it will come back to mind :=)) Why am I telling you this :=))?

I have seen this before… at least… I think I did!!! LOL
Good to see it again, Irene…
I have a real problem with my memory… and I have a better excuse than most!
I had the “short term memory” part of my brain out in 1996 to remove a tumour… it has been an interesting road since then, and have all the symptoms mentioned above… I was only 37 then!!! ROTFL… they medicos reckon my short term memory “aged” around 20 years or so under the knife!
I went into surgery with a whole host of Far Side cartoons that were medical, surgery, hospital, xray, MRI related etc and handed them out to the staff as I was wheeled into theatre… got lots of laughs!
Then in 2004 while undergoing 6 weeks of radiotherapy for a second tumour I took a cartoon in everyday and got lots of laughs from staff and fellow patients…
It is amazing how some things that are sent to try us can have their funny side!

Sorry to hear about your dreadful illness but obviously your sense of humour has kept you going . Lets hope you are fully recovered and live to a ripe old age . You sound like you are a very positive person and I am convinced that helps. I had a quad heart bypass last year and I was in the supermarket shopping after two weeks , nobody could believe it , I just had a bit of a problem though when I was approaching the check out I could feel the surgical stockings that I had to wear for six weeks rolling down my legs , so I had to make a very fast exit for my car , I had visions of walking out of the store with them trailing on the floor behind me . I just couldn’t stop laughing , people must have thought I had lost the plot.

Oh, Irene….what a scream! Doesn’t it make you feel better about the fact that so many of us can identify with all of the above???? It certainly makes me feel a whole lot more ‘normal’ as a Baby Boomer. LOL. heartily :-)
