“WE LIVE & LEARN” \u2013 by Des Kelly<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"learn\"<\/p>\n

Once again, something different from Keith Bennett, via Franklyn, so my thanks go out to both. Reading posts like this, makes one feel that however old we are, there is nothing to stop us from experiencing the fact that, no matter who we are, WE LIVE & LEARN.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Desmond-Kelly\"<\/p>\n

Des Kelly<\/span>
\nEditor-in-chief (eLanka)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Simple but brilliant observations<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nBe decisive. Right or wrong, make a decision. The road is paved with flat squirrels who couldn\u2019t make up their mind.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nHappiness is not having to set the alarm clock.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nGetting another set of teeth would be much more useful at 60 than at age 6.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cThe starting pay is $40,000. Later it can go up to $80,000.\u201d \u201cGreat, I\u2019ll start later.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nTrust science. Studies show that if your parents didn\u2019t have children there\u2019s a high probability you won\u2019t either.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019re not called crazy when you start something new, then you\u2019re not thinking big enough.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nOnly in math problems can you buy 60 cantaloupes and no one asks – “What the Hell is wrong with you?”<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cI\u2019m 85 and my body is full of aches and pains.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cWell, I\u2019m 85 and I feel like a newborn baby.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cReally?\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cYep, no teeth, no hair, and I just wet my diaper.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhen the pool re-opens, due to social distancing rules, there will be no water in lanes 1, 3, and 5.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nTip: Save business cards of people whom you don\u2019t like. If you ever hit a parked car accidentally, just write, \u201cSorry\u201d on the back, and leave it on the windshield.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhen I get a headache, I take two aspirin and keep away from children – just like the bottle says.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nJust once, I want the username and password prompt to say, \u201cClose enough.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nBecoming an adult is the dumbest thing that I\u2019ve ever done.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nLife is like a helicopter. I don\u2019t know how to operate either one.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nDid you hear about Elon Musk\u2019s restaurant on the moon? Great food; no atmosphere.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf you see me talking to myself just move along. I\u2019m self-employed, and we\u2019re having a meeting.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cYour call is very important to us. Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo”.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI envy people who grow old gracefully. They age like a fine wine. I\u2019m ageing like milk. Getting sour and chunky.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI hate it when I can\u2019t figure out how to operate the iPad and my tech support person is asleep. She\u2019s 5 and it\u2019s past her bedtime.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nToday\u2019s 3-year-olds can switch on laptops and open their favorite apps. When I was 3, I ate mud.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nTip for a successful marriage: Don\u2019t ask your wife when dinner will be ready while she\u2019s mowing the lawn.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, you drive across town to a gym to walk on a treadmill?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
