Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 18, 2019

It was Ringo Starr’s 79th birthday 21 days ago.

No dementia here.

I can remember words to songs of the ’50s that I had forgotten about. As soon as the music starts it all comes back.

And for breakfast today I had ….. uh?

You mean all pluggers aren’t senior? :)

The Beatles ….says it all

My memory works perfectly. But only for things I don’t want to remember.

I have a Senior Plugger buddy of mine that can name the B side of every Beatles 45.

So she hasn’t listened to Abbey Road since it came out?

Ah yes Octopus’s Garden, I from the Beatles album, Abbey Road, circa the late sixties.

My late husband was a musician & played at Nursing Homes & Assisted Living places. He sang the songs from the before the 50’s. Most of the audience remembered the songs- even ones with dementia.

I remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs – I figure that’s why I have trouble remembering other things.

I’d like to be…. on MTV…..

I think it’s been longer than that!

After all these years, the space on the drive is filling up.

I became a Glenn Miller fan in high school, endearing myself to art least one girlfriend’s grandparents. Knowing Beatles lyrics helped me with some parents.

No it isn’t about age,it is about their attitude and the way They deal with Life.Click on the “About” tab at the top of the page.

Pluggers do not call an appliance repairman but find the root cause of the dryer failing. Then spend two days trying to find a replacement $1.00 limit switch because replacing the whole control board just plain wrong and costs $200!

You are right. May be that over the years we have learned how to repair many things ourselves so as not to waste our income and get ripped off. These days it seems that a large amount of the “Repair Men” just replace parts until things start working rather than trouble shoot and repair things.Hey they aren’t paying for it.

If it’s been 40 years since you’ve heard Octopus’ Garden, you must be living under a rock!

Saw “Yesterday”, and really enjoyed some special surprises. Our grandson is fifteen, and I asked him if he knew some of the songs. He knew the title song and “the one that was in the Bee Movie.”

But we can’t remember why we came into this room…

I went into the Air Force in February of 64. I saw “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Help” in base theaters. Also saw “Westside Story” there. It was the only movie I saw where people left at the end in dead silence. The only sound was the exit doors opening and closing.
