I am sooo mad at my mother. My 81 year old mother just came up from her home in Ft. Pierce 3 days before Frances hit. She hasn't seen us or my two daughters in two years. That means that she hasn't seen two of her new great grand children. My oldest daughter wanted me to make sure and invite her grandma to her work picnic tomorrow. I invited her 3 weeks ago and have been saying something about it every so often. Last Sat when I was with her at my brothers, I said something again and she agreed to come to the picnic.
She called today to let me know that she was coming up from her brother's to our area on Mon. I reminded her of Ellen's picnic and that she said she would come. She said that she must have forgotten and that she was going to an antiques show on Sat. and wouldn't be able to go. I was hurt and upset after I hung up. The rest of the day I got madder and madder and was thinking of calling her back and making some smart retort to her like....
you know you are old when you go to and antique show and you are the oldest thing in the room.
or...
you know you are old when you go to an antique show and you remember when everything in the room came on the market.
Anyone else got any old one-liners?

Don't take it so personal. Life's short and old things may make better memories for her then someones work picnic. My grandma was always laughing at how much someone would pay for something that went for pennies new when she was young. Besides she may not feel she can keep up with you young people. Shows are a little slower then a picnic. Besides how many people would she know at that picnic? A family picnic would be another matter. Work picnics are not my cup of tea either. I think we have one coming up in a couple of weeks now that you mention it .

You know your old when your 'Cross Your Heart' bra just makes a tall, skinny "V".

Here's OLD: A husband walks into Frederick's of Hollywood to purchase some sheer lingerie for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500 in price, the more sheer, the higher the price. He opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500 and takes the lingerie home.
He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on and model it for him. Upstairs, the wife thinks, "I have an idea. It's so sheer that
it might as well be nothing. I won't put it on, do the modeling naked, return it tomorrow and keep the $500 refund for myself."
So she appears naked on the balcony and strikes a pose.
The husband says, "Good Lord! You'd think that or $500, they'd at least iron it!"
He never heard the shot!
Funeral services are pending.........

It is a real shame your Mother deciding to go back on her previous obligation she made to go do something else. I think the word lame describes that pretty good.
You have good cause to be angry. Just don't let it consume you.

I can rember the exact day and time when I realized that I was old.
Walking in down town with my teenage son, as we were crossing a street, a woman came towards us ,my eyes fixed on her and my mind began to race” wow that woman was Hot” I took a quick glance a my son. The reality hit my like a hammer, the look on my sons face said it all. His eyes were fixed so had on the Beautiful woman and I knew that his thoughts and desires were the same as mine. True story the day I felt old Sep 12 1991 11.30am :-)LOL

Don't worry Bruce. It won't consume me. I should be used it though. Right after my dad died in Oct 2000 before he was even buried, she told me that she resented me from the day I was born. Probably had something to do with my dad naming me after his old girlfriend. It was something that my dad and I shared and laughed about.

I first knew when a clerk at a checkout counter was putting info on my check...she said hair color, looked up and said "GRAY". Until then I had thought it was brown.
When sitting on a bench at the mall, a little girl came up to me and asked, "who's grandpa are you?"
