Transcript:
Gene: Hi, Mom! What's up?
Janis: Your father's thinking about combing his hair differently!
Janis: I'll send you a picture!
Gene: It comes out of the blue! That moment you know your folks are getting old!
Itās a matter of degree. I met a Harley rider in his late 40s who told me his wife called his new bike his mid life crisis machine. I told him to tell his wife that buying a new Harley was a sign of success at his age, but that having a 19 year old girlfriend riding behind him on it would be evidence of the midlife crisis.C.
A while back Gene texts Mom ācall meā ; Now Mom calls to let Gene know she is texting picā¦ā¦I asked woman the other day how she liked her new oversized phoneā¦ā¦.Fantastic she repliedā¦ā¦.except the phone part is a bit awkward
@duemore4u: Apple has been reluctant to make a bigger iPhone because Steve Jobs thought smaller was better. He maintained that a smaller smart phone is easier to navigate with one hand. It is. One can hold the phone and use the thumb to open apps.
I donāt have the same hairstyle now that I did at five, and thereās a little less of it. (More forehead and a small bald spot at my crown.) However, itās the same color now that Iām 64 as it was back then, and itās all natural; no dye needed.
I am sorry, of course, that my 40 and 50ish aged children have arthritis pains in various places; but to listen to the children swapping symptoms amuses me no end.

My sons (not boys!) are now 34 and 31. I still think of them as 12 year olds, and sometimes speak to them like they were.
