The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 05, 2022

It’s for “the young at heart.”

It sure is, Uncle Ted!

Only the strongest get old, that’s a good selling point.

Getting old isn’t for sissies!

Maybe he could use a little yellow pill.

You know when you’re getting old when you can’t find your coffee cup unless you have stenciled your initials on it.

Well it and you aren’t getting any younger.

Uncle Ted is really cool. Must have been an accountant.

mom and I feel the same actually… the weather also makes it worse to, great bad weather warning system… NOT!

My mother said" getting old is not for sissies"

I say that all the time! My mind is alert, but the body is lagging behind….just turned 80, worked til I was 78. Closed my business because of pandemic…I would probably still be working had it not been for Covid! ☹️☹️

And all the ‘side-effects’ of getting old – are cumulative, unfortunately.

Getting old beats the alternative.

I roll out of bed pretty well…it’s getting up off the floor afterwards that is problematic…Thankfully there’s ibuprofen and aspirin.

I so relate to Uncle Ted. And he’s Brutus’s oasis in a desert filled with Gargoyle, Veebs and Hurricane Hattie.

At least your around to complain about it.

Might be better than the death alternative which is not too far down the road……

As my mom would say "It’s no fun getting old.

on the positive side, uncle ted appears to have a full head of hair…

Uncle Ted and my mom could get together and commiserate. Mom has the same problem as Uncle Ted.

Just made it to ninety. Sleep, eat, and walk well but bending, getting out of a chair, and lifting heavy stuff are a pain in both senses. Made it through a major car wreck, a heart attack, and serious cancer. Grateful for my life, past and present, and constantly wishing better for all those with less.

Funny. But not funny.
