Major Ian Thomas used to visit our old church for a week at a time to teach.

lovely man, btw, and i still have all those teachings on cassette! haha

thank God my genius son-in-law can keep the machine in good repair.

here's a conversation i overheard between said son and his coffeemaker:

Aaron to the broken coffeemaker:

so, what's up, buddy? why won't you work?
*Aaron takes machine apart; comes to a point where there's a sticker saying DO NOT OPEN FURTHER--DANGEROUS*

Aaron: i'll be the judge of that :cool:

(he totally fixed it, too lol)

when i taught Sunday School (to ages 4-7) i would ask them how old they thought i was.

their guesses were always either 12 or 95. :rolleyes:

and i was in my early thirties haha!

2015 was a bad year for the grey hairs and the standard response nowadays is "grandpa" :)

it truly was.

we got a chance to know him a little, share meals, etc. he was just a terrific guy with such a good sense of humor. :)

He's had a big impact on my life, as well as so many others. If I had heroes of the faith he would be right up there at the very top. :)

thanks for the link! :)
and for calling me 'child' in that other thread. my dad called us 'child' (as i do our kiddos), so that was a really happy memory.

you know, i'll be the ripe old age of 57 in just a few wee

When I was young, anyone with an age younger than I was -- even for a week -- was a kid. When I became a teenager, anyone two years younger than I was was a kid. From 30-50 -- anyone within a decade of my age was "my age." But Dad, in his infinite wisdom :rolleyes: was in his 60's at one time and facing 70. He decided he could no longer consider himself middle-aged at 70, so he did what any reasonable person would do. Once he hit 70, he decided his birthdays would go in reverse. (When he was 71, he was 68. That kind of thing.) Strange thing happen. Dad is now younger than his four oldest kids. lol

So, with that brilliant strategy, once I hit 50, I decided to go back to anyone not in their 50's was a kid. (Not that I believe that anymore, but it's a good way to "kid" around with people.) I turned 60 one week before you celebrated your 36th anniversary, so I've decided anyone in their 50's is a kid now. At this rate, you'll always be a kid, until I become younger than you... which ought to happen when you reach 67 by my calculations.

I do still enjoy when someone calls me "young lady" and they really mean it, so why not spread that around?

Our across-the-fence old neighbor used to sunbath most of the summer. She'd lie on a lounge chair and do nothing all day. I couldn't figure out how anyone could stand doing that, but she was old so what else would she have the energy to do?

I really didn't understand why all the boys would flock in our yard to watch the old lady sunbath. Come on already. We were playing something important. Stop being distracted over old ladies lying down.

She was 16 and in a two-piece. (The bikini hadn't come in vogue yet.) I didn't get the connection for a few years. My memory tells me she was, indeed, ogle worthy.

Oh those days:) I remember I got furious every time someone said "young lady" for whatever reason to me. As for today, I would gladly be listening to people calling me that on a daily basis...never happens anymore;)

I plucked my first gray hair at 22. I feared starting that as a habit, because sooner or later plucking them would make me bald. Despite that, you can still tell my hair is brown. A very light brown now. (Good thing I didn't develop that habit or half my hair would be gone. lol) I'm officially at that age where it should all be white, so no problems.

Although! I thought I had a huge dandruff flake on my eyelashes the other day, but I couldn't get it off. So I looked through the magnified-8-times mirror and discovered why. Not a dandruff flake. My eyelashes are going white now! :eek:

I accepted white hair every where else, but I completely forgot it would go there too. lol

(Adventures in aging.)

I started getting called "young lady" again in my mid 50's. But they were middle-aged people calling me that so it was supposedly a positive spin on "old lady." I hated it. Still do. Polite is simply taking me without adding an age to it. BUT when an older person calls me young lady it's great because they mean it. And very few mean it anymore. lol

how kind of you to send me that link :)

perhaps Miri can interpret the English for me. :rolleyes:

(it's okay, Miri, you're off the hook. i watch enough of what my kids call "British guy solves murder mystery"
--like Morse, Inspector Lewis, old Sherlock Holmes films, etc-- that i almost got all of it :p)

now there's gen Y and gen Z? lol my poor tiny brain!

Dont ask me I haven't a clue what it is talking about!

I do wonder what this era will be called in the future, like we had the Victorian age, the
dark ages, the edwardian, the Elizabethan - will this be the Elizabethan the second?

Or maybe it will be the digital age, or the millennium age, or the age of global
communication?

Hey I don't even mind if they call it Miriwiththepurplehair age. :p

Before I read that last mine I thought, "Mirians."

You have purple hair? Nuts! Now I have to put a purple wig on the Cheerios bee. (You do understand in putting a wig on a bee, there is only one hairstyle that will be -- the beehive. lol)
 
Hi I did have dark brown hair, then it went gray.

So I started dyeing it dark brown with a purplish burgundy strip to one side.
If you take a peak at my profile album pictures there is one of me aged 44 with
said purplish burgandy strip.

But then I realise I really liked that purplish burgundy strip and it would be cheaper
to have it dyed that colour all over. :D

I have been thinking recently that at some point I will dye my hair that silver
steel gray colour which is all the rage something like this maybe.
But then it would just be old age. Lol
