Sticking to the age "theme"...why, in some obituaries, do the say, rather than he/she was...85...do they say in his/her 86th year?
Originally posted by @great-big-steesSticking to the age thing. OLD is how you feel on a particular day. For example today I feel like about 30ish the sun is out, birds are singing, I feel great. Tomorrow could change and I may actually feel my age or older. Life is like that! 😉
"Old" is relative. I remember, when I was about 10, that someone who was 16 was old. Now I think that someone who is 100 is old. I think I'll stick with the latter.

My analyst tells me I'm stuck in my teens. But I know she's wrong. I'm only 7. 😉

I learned early in life, not to get stuck eating yellow snow: But no one warned me about the hazards of zipping-up, while not wearing underwear.
I think I would've been better off, spitting into the wind.

sticky thread game (no caps), generic, non-committal, sticky nevertheless, pointless, insubstantial, yet somehow compelling . .. that is what sticky is

Originally posted by @wolfe63Once, in grade 7, our teacher, trying to get the attention of a boy, who was forever in another world, threw a blackboard brush at him. The boy picked it up and returned the favour. The teacher ran down the isle between the desks when another boy stuck out his foot, tripping her. The principal (a leg wounded WW11 Colonel) was summoned and the whole class was given an afternoon detention because we all laughed when on arrival he slammed his cane on one of the desks and it broke. The blackboard brush "tosser" (no not the teacher) and the "tripper", not only got the detention but also "the strap". Ah, those were the days. 😀

Originally posted by @great-big-steesSticking with the teachers. We once had a math teacher who use to throw chalk and erasers at us. Didn't like it much when we started throwing them back at him. Always brings a smile to my face for some reason. Now the nuns in the 60's would pull and twist/pull on your ear, then give you a strapping. I remember once my buddy and I were getting a strapping for doing something anyways she stood up on a chair and started with my buddy who pulled his hand back and she hit her self on the leg. I never laughed so hard in my life!!! Yup the good old days!!!
