You will see Tammy’s comment on my blog post Happiness And Longevity to read as follows:
“there’s a line in an old Woody Allen movie… I think it was Annie Hall.
two old ladies were having lunch. one complains bitterly about the terrible food.
the other totally agrees and says… YES! and they give such small portions!
kind of like life here. it’s full of all kinds of misery… but generally nobody ever wants to leave! :D”
And to make it further interesting, Cheerful Monk had this to say: “Yes, I want to die young as late as possible.”
As it usually happens in my life, just a few moments before I read these comments, I received this little image as a forward in WhatsApp as a response to my post from another friend.
Great minds think alike what Tammy and Monk?
proof again… we’re all in this together!
the strangest thought just crossed my mind while reading this post.
do you recall a song called…
“You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd” ???
I’m thinking Shack probably remembers it. now what it has to do with our subject I do not know.
just one of the vague pleasures of getting older! or as you say… the high cost of living. LOLOL!
Da ba da ba da ba da da do or something like that for a refrain! Yes, I remember that indeed.
Betcha!

Roger Miller did that one

Trust you!
Lately I have had bouts of thinking I have outlived my usefulness. I suppose it all goes back to if I’d known I was going to live this long I’d have taken better care of myself.

Shackman, not quite sure how you define “usefulness”. Do you mean being useful to others? And even if you weren’t, which I doubt, why not just enjoy being alive because we are? Maybe that’s “use(full)” all for its own sake.
U
U the fact of the matter is I get very little joy out of just being here and exploding family dysfunction is taking its toll. For the time being I shall simply keep on keeping on.
Usefulness to who? You are of great use to some of us here Shackman, so hang in there and help us laugh.
Great post my friend, thank you for sharing. Love it!
Regards, Keith.
