Flo and Friends by Jenny Campbell for September 11, 2023

Always be happy for each birthday. Ya never know when the supply will run out.

I never used to think much about getting older. I think I’ll just stay 85. I look pretty good and I feel great and nothing is wrong with me, so…. that’s it. No more birthdays.

A story I’ve told many times, read in a Swedish newspaper:

A young (of course) reporter for the paper, interviewing a woman on her 100th birthday, asked her how it felt to have reached the grand old age of 100. Her reply… “Not much different from 99.”

Pace yourself. A glass of wine and bed rest, on a lounge in the back yard.

Better than the alternative.

Absolutely untrue! There is one cure.

They need number candles made from road flares.

For some, it commemorates surviving another year.
