Good morning BN! The day will be wonderful here. We are off for a day out after an appointment. Enjoy your day.

Good Morning Bill & BN'ers to come!
Enjoy your Great Day Bill......and everyone else can too.
We have a beautiful day weather wise here in Flintown. I realize many of you may find that hard to believe but Sunny & mid to upper 70's without humidity works for me. Albeit won't be able to enjoy it until after 5 but oh well.

Happy 2nd day of May gang!

Good morning Bill and Ken. It's sunny and 75 degrees but instead of enjoying the nice weather I'll be spending 2 hours indoors with needles in both arms, I have an appointment to donate platelets at noon. At least if my hemoglobin cooperates. My last 3 donation appointments, 2 for platelets and 1 for whole blood, my hemoglobin was too low and I was deferred.

Speaking of memory loss.... Mrs SPH and I had an argument last night over, of all things, how old I was.
We were talking with some neighbors and the subject of age came up.
Me: "I'm going to be 74 on my next birthday."
She (in her gentle, condescending tone)(the one she uses with her 96 yo mom): "Mel, you're going to be 75."
Me: "I think I know how old I am, I'm gonna be 74."
She (even more condescending): "Honey, you're going to be 75."
Me (now getting a little perturbed): "Do the math, I was born in 1950, it's now 2024... I'm gonna be 74."
She (like it's somehow my fault): "Oh, I guess so... I rounded you up to 74 some time ago and now that your b'day is near, I rounded up again."

Ahhhh....those little "enjoyable" moments in life.

I swear if I blanked out on what year it was I'd have trouble knowing how old I am. For the longest time i've used the mental math approach to figuring out my age like you just presented. I Just don't pay attention to it. Now with me hitting Medicare age later this year that gives me more clarity as to how old I am now

Evening, lurkers.

Raining buckets now but supposed to clear out for the weekend. Lazy day just hanging around. Mr. Lime is making some homemade fried rice and fixings.

We’re ‘mis-remembering’ more and more. Thankfully over mundane things, nothing important so far anyway.

The age thing is sometimes tough for me because my birthday is so much later than all my friends, so when I was in school by the time I had my birthday, I was thinking I was already at the age they were, so I must be older now!
It was a Royal PITA, because when I got to college at 17, I could not drink yet (it was 18 back then, yes... I am old)

Same here! I did my student teaching while still only 20 years old. I didn't let the high school seniors know I was that young.

One of my law school classmates graduated from high school at 16, then finished college in 3 years. First year of law school she was 19. Her father was the orthopedist who treated me when I separated my shoulder when I was in college. She hadn't been born yet.
