Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for April 10, 2022

“You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.” Wait till you hit your 80’s Aunty.

Happy birthday to you.

Long time ago, Aunty.

thanks for the heads up

She’s just realizing this now? She looks like she hit her 50s back in the 50s.

You remember that far back?

How did I get this old this fast?

40 is so far in my rearview mirror that I can hardly remember it.

50s ain’t no thing…

I couldn’t wait to be 13, then 16, then 18, then 21, then 25. Boom 40, 50, 60, 70 now 76 and can’t hit no speed bumps except staring death straight in the face. Take ya time folks – time is the most precious commodity you got along with health. Age and health pass together.

I’ve been over that trauma for twenty years. ;-)

Can’t see my feet anymore, because my comfort balloon is in the way.

Nearly all my balloons have burst, Aunty, I’m plummeting… ☄️ ☺

My mother said she stayed in bed all day the day she turned 30, She was 97 when sh died. Her mother was 92 when she passed away. If this keeps up, I’ll be 102…

Some day you’ll appreciate getting older.

Can’t remember that far back. I was working so n many hours those birthdays were just another birthday and I didn’t notice the number until I got to they one where I could retire.

I always thought I was 10 – 15 years younger than Aunty. Today is my 58th birthday so I am older than her?!? Whatever, it is just a number!!

Yep, and the older one gets the faster the time seams to go.

I’m now coming up on 60 next spring. Told my husband I want to go a cruise for a few months by myself but then realized that I would run out of medication before I got back. Does CVS deliver to cruise ships?

It’ll be another several months until I’m in my fifties.

I turn 50 this summer and I am not looking forward to it, 40’s hit me like a ton of bricks and my health has gone so far down hill I don’t know what it will do to cope with 50. :(
