What a crazy day. My Scottish Witch went out shopping for a small rug. While she was at JC Penney's, she wandered over to the pocketbook section.

No matter what pockybook she gets, she eventually gets annoyed with it becuz it is stuffed full. But she does not want a larger one... she just wants one that is the same size but holds more.

Yeah. I know.

Anyway, she has a special pocket she likes for her phone.

Bottom line: She comes home three hours later, and we are sitting and talking and I mentioned her phone. She looks around, no phone. So we called her phone on our house phone to get the ring. No ring.

My very darling goes Scottish Crazy. Bottom-bottom line, I hadda go twenty miles with her back to civilization to wander through the giant JC Penney's. She was so rattled, she could not remember how she got to the pocketbook section.

We found it. Twenty minutes of her searching pocketbooks (there were hundred or more) and she found her phone stashed in one of them in a sekrit pocket she was testing !!! but forgot it was in there when she went to the next one.

That sounds exactly like something my wife would do. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out where she has left her phone.
She really likes leaving it in public bathrooms, and figuring it out 10 miles down the road.
 
Folks, I just received this from a High School classmate (yeah, 65 years ago classmate)


As the old song goes "Enjoy yourselves, it's later than you think"

We were born in the 40's-50's-60's.


We grew up in the 50-60-70's


We studied in the 60-70-80's.


We were dating in the 60's-70-80-90's.

We got married and discovered the world in the 60-70-80-90's.

We venture into the 80-90’s

We stabilize in the 2000s.

We got wiser in the 2010s.

And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.

Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...

TWO different centuries...TWO different millennia...

We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world,

We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App. From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, and then to HD TV.

We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.

We got to know the first computers, punch cards, diskettes and now we have gigabytes and megabytes in hand on our cell phones or iPad.

We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long pants, oxfords, Bermuda shorts, etc.

We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, H1N1 flu and now Sars COV-19.We rode skates, tricycles, invented cars, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we ride hybrids or 100% electric.

Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!

They could describe us as “exennials”; people who have had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.

We have “Seen-It-All”!

Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.

It is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE”.

A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation.

When you look...it's already six in the afternoon; when you look...it's already Friday; when one looks...the month is over,

When one looks...the year is over; when one looks...50, 60 and 70 years have passed!

When you look...we no longer know where our friends have gone.

When you look...we maybe lost the love of our life and now, it's too late to go back.

SO…Do not stop doing something you like due to lack of time.

Do not stop having someone by your side. Your children will soon not be yours and you will have to do something with that remaining time, where the only thing that we are going to miss will be the space that can only be enjoyed with the usual friends.

The time which unfortunately, never returns...

*The day is today!*

*WE ARE NO LONGER AT AN AGE TO POSTPONE ANYTHING.*

Hopefully you have time to read and then share this message... or else leave it for *Later* and you will see that you will never share it!

Pass it on to your best friends. Don’t leave it for later
