Subject: THIS IS HAPPENING IN OUR OWN LIFETIME!



We Must Stop This Immediately!


Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is further away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the motorway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labelling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

:-D :-D :-D

Sorry, what was it we were under attack from?

:-D :-D :-D :-D

pardon Sharron? :-S

It's time to start fighting back!

I am off to keep-fit now!!!!

LOL Anne, have to admit to many of the things mentioned in your post, it really made me laugh.

I am sooo glad you think the same way as I do I couldn't put it better myself that is if I could remember all of it! On top of everything else I think they have done something with our calendar one minute it's Christmas the next we're almost there again something's definitely not right ...It's "Them" it's a conspiracy to get us more mature folks totally muddled, but hey we know you know they can't pull the wool over our eyes now can they? :-S :-S

"They" have a lot to answer for :-D

Not just that, the days are getting shorter much less gets done, and Christmas comes around after about 6 months.

And as for the wedding tackle, well three or four times a night and I can't manage it again until after breakfast! ;-)

Why are you all typing so small? People never used to type so small. :-S

why are you all typing so quickly?.............i cant keep up with the conversations....

pardon :-S

Anyone seen my glass eye and false tooth or is it teeth do I have any ... methinks I'm muddled :-0
