Remember the Beatles song When I'm 64?


64 is in my rearview mirror. Today I turned 69.

C'mon man I'm sure you can come up with a joke about 69...

rofl:

Ok one day Mrs unblock did the math and said when you're 64 I'll have been feeding you and washing your clothes and so on for over a quarter century so f*ck that noise, after that you're on your doing your own chores!

64 is fast approaching so we'll soon see....

As a 12-year-old girl. I was standing in the kitchen-to-be in a house under construction, where I was hanging out with a couple of friends.

And I pondered the unthinkable concept of being THAT old.

Now I'm 71 and, having survived Stage 3C breast cancer, am grateful for the years I have lived.
