Guess it does.

My Mom bruised easily for no apparent reason….but never in the form of Snoopy or any other character.

It’s 2 against 1, Opal.

Earl punches her in his sleep.

That might be a symptom of a grave medical problem…or it might not. My mom has always bruised from a harsh look, and she’s 96 now.

Fish, now that you mention it, she does!

When I lived in Chicago, I used to get bruises from being bounced around while riding on the El. Took me a while to figure it out.

I’m like Opal in this. I get bruised very easily and sometimes I do not know how I got them.

My legs are forever bruised. The less one wears the easier it is to bruise.

5th pannel….Just like a woman. It does not… Does it?

I had one bruise on my right lower arm near elbow last month. I didn’t know where I got it from. It had been on my right arm for one month. It would not go away easily. After I had the surgery for hernia, the bruise on my right arm disappeared already! I felt much better! It was an eyesore!

Loved it! Most of us over 70 can relate!

careful drakes, I’m not yet 60.

even the under 50 set bruises easily! LOL Once had a bruise on my hip…as big as a grapefruit…couldn’t figure out how it got there…one day Ifigured it out…I used my hip to close the car door…now I don’t…

Drake! I am 48 years old I easily get a darnest bruise! Be careful what you say! OK!

I don’t remember where do I get my bruises,my sons don’t either.. must be heritable.

Real women avoid bald men…. for many obvious reasons!

There are varying reasons for bruising easily. One cause that is common in older people is taking blood thinners (Plavix, etc.) or aspirin to reduce the possibility of blood clots.

I wonder what will the next one be?!

I blame the poltergeists… and sometimes the dog. but the latter has nothin’ ta do with bruises.
