Be sure to install a bicycle horn or bell on your cane so you can warn people you're coming and they have plenty of time to move out of your way. Prriinngg!
I certainly had a good time. Jeff gave them to me for my birthday: a honky horn, a little pringpring bell, and pink and purple streamers for the cane's handle. Really perked things up.
Oh those unmatched socks! Always an embarrassment. I get around it by buying only one kind of socks and just toss them singly in the drawer. Don't even have to fold the pairs together. You can't miss. Hah!
Great tips, Sharron! I like the advice to never mistake a pressure cooker for a slow cooker....yikes!! One piece of advice for us "over seventies" travelers, would be to never pass up a bathroom when you are on a road trip.
It takes only one red thread on one sock to turn an entire white military uniform PINK the night before it is to be worn. No sleeping that night. YEah did that.
Very funny, Sharron. And every one is true. Mrs. Wolf and I have sworn not to buy any of those salt and pepper shakers, no matter how cute they might be. We know where that will end—with us dedicating an entire room of our house to displaying our cute salt and pepper shaker collection.
Good plan, John! That is exactly what would happen. I know a man who has collected so many spark plugs he's turned his dining room into a room just to house his collection. That's nuts...
He says some are very valuable according to brand, age, condition, etc. Still... I personally don't see the draw. Might as well collect wing-nuts far as I am concerned. Or Smurfs. Thanks for reading this little bit of goofiness.
That actually happened. Young newly-weds in the apartment below me got a pressure cooker for a wedding gift. Unclear on the concept. Firetrucks DID come, and broke down their door, black smoke billowing out of their apartment while they were both at work... Yikes.
Oh no! I remember hearing some horror stories about pressure cookers a few years ago when they became popular. I hope that couple utilizes their slow cooker these days. 😅
Love love LOVE this, Sharron. You have the best sense of humor. And I think your advice applies to those under 70 as well. Big hugs, my dear friend. xo
I am also a proponent of aged wisdom. Those young whippersnappers nowadays have a lot to learn. Of course, I must keep the nuggets I have aquired for my own book project. But I thoroughly enjoyed the ones you shared.

Great idea! I will put one on my walker... pringg!! indeed! I think I could make a few people laugh with that.

Very good advice, Sharron! - I like "no teeth brushing in the dark" and "hang on to the rail."
- Never just assume your socks are a match. Actually, don't assume much of anything, things change.

Haha! I've made the "pink boxer" mistake often enough to have been relieved from laundry duty.
Smart man.

Thanks! Excellent advice. Add to it when you are traveling "Never stand when you can sit. Never sit when you can lie down." Ha ha ha

Nightmare!

Why would someone collect spark plugs? I once met a fisherman who used them to weight his line.

That worked! I love the tongue-in-wrinkled-cheek truths!!
Thanks for dropping by to read at 🌿Leaves, Jill! Glad you liked that little bit of foolishness.
Haha! These are all too funny. I especially liked the pressure cooker vs slow cooker advice. Good God! 🤣

Haha, ironing the shower curtain. Disaster! See also nylon sports wear … possibly already turned pink in the wash!
Darn it!
Thanks for commenting, Barrie. Happy Monday to you.
And to you too, Sharron. I’m slowly reading myself back in after a month away. Lovely to catch up with your storytelling.
Love love LOVE this, Sharron. You have the best sense of humor. And I think your advice applies to those under 70 as well. Big hugs, my dear friend. xo
Oh, I remember this! Still fabulous! Thank you so much for publishing it again, Sharron!

Thanks, Pal. You can have mine if you like. Plenty more where those came from. Sounds like a great project.
