My wife and I resemble these remarks ... Thx Paul C!

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure...'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it...'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?' 
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.. She stares at the plate for a moment.
'Where's my toast?'

 

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know.... The one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

 

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. 
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. 
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.'
'Really,' answered the neighbor . 'What kind is it?'
'Twelve thirty.'

 

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

  

Now, before you 'forget ', send them on to some other folks you know who could use a good laugh!!

Remembering things ... Thx Marilyn S!

I'm old, I remember all of this stuff like it was yesterday!!!!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THIS ? WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO OBJECTS? DID YOU EVER RIDE ONE OF THESE??? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THESE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?  HAVE YOU EVER SHOPPED AT THIS STORE? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WITH THESE?  DO YOU RECOGNIZE WHO THIS IS? DO YOU KNOW THEIR NAMES? HAVE YOU EVER HAD A GLASS OF THIS?  DID YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE ONE OF THESE? DID YOU, OR ANYONE YOU KNOW, EVER TAKE THIS CLASS IN SCHOOL? DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S HANGING FROM THE CHAIN OR RUNNING UP THE POLE? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN OR USED ONE OF THESE?  DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE? HAVE YOU EVER USED THIS? HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED THIS?   WAS THERE EVER A TIME IN YOUR LIFE THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY OPTION TO DRY YOUR CLOTHES? WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE  TWO OBJECTS?  IS THIS A FAMILIAR SCENE? DOES THIS BRING BACK GOOD MEMORIES?  DID HE EVER COME TO YOUR HOUSE? DID YOU EVER HAVE TO SAY "HELLO" BEFORE YOU KNEW WHO WAS CALLING?  DID YOU EVER LAUGH OUTLOUD WATCHING THIS?  DID YOU KNOW... Those who were born in the 50’s 60’s ,70’s and early 80’s are the last generation who played in the street.  During our childhood we “walked” over a mile a day when we played & played “hide & seek” outside at night with no worries or fear of anything bad happening to us.  We are the first generation who played video games and the last to record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape.  We learned how to program a VCR before anyone else, we were the first to play from Atari to Nintendo…We are the generation of Tom & Jerry, Looney Toons, & Captain Kangaroo. We traveled in cars without seat belts or air bags, lived without cell phones and caller ID.  We did not have fax machines, flat screens, surround sound,  I pods, Facebook, Twitter, computers or the internet, and through it all we had a great time.
