Although after reading your comment I have a new ear worm. But it’s not those particular words, it’s the part of the song they sing in Wayne’s World 🤣🤣
I had two, the twins from Hell, one of my siblings left Uruguay and gave me the dog to give away in adoption. Three years later, dog number three, calm, accepts the twins (Malamute x Husky x GSD) as leaders, and never ever tries to steal their food. Beautiful collars. Are they getting Irish beef and cabbage stew, minus the cabbage?
I remember the first time my dad had to hold something just a liiiiiiittle bit further in front of his face to read it. He was either 50 or getting close to it. Now, he's 60, and has readers hanging on his shirt wherever he goes. I make fun of him only because I know one day it will come for me too!
A very belated Happy 50th to you and your ear hair. I remember that SNL sketch!
By the way, thanks to your recent posts, I'm getting closer ... and CLOSER ... to becoming a volunteer dog walker at the local rescue shelter. Thank you.
Thanks, and yay! It is one of the highlights of my week. There are some weeks where it’s a little bit of a struggle to get there (because of, you know, life)…but I ALWAYS leave so much happier than when I got there.
You have like an alter ego. Our conversation on the phone was great, but this guy who writes these posts was in a closet somewhere while I chatted with the polite, articulate, reasonable professional. These are so fun.
My nephews (ages 9 and 11) are BIG Boogie in your Butt fans. To be fair, sometimes I will text my older brother, "Put a tin can...in your butt/Put a little man...in your butt." The nephews also give Weird Al's Another One Rides the Bus high marks, but mostly because of the farting noises. You said you turned 15 last year, right?
I’m an acne-covered, hormone raging, 15 year old boy at heart.
Hopefully when they turn 10 and 11 their Weird Al tastes start to mature. I’m Fat is a particular favorite. But I think we can all agree Amish Paradise is his Mona Lisa.
Refusing to age is your damn right! Oh yeah-they are big Weird Al nerds; they are all going to see him this summer in concert. The Hawaiian shirt game will be epic!
Oh yes! His shows are giant, insane spectaculars-costume changes and all the stuff. I believe this is his Bigger and Weirder Tour. I love Weird Al. He was a gateway into comedy for me when I was a kid and I think he’s a really solid human
Edding Murphy was my childhood hero - not exactly an appropriate role model for a kid, but my parents were quite liberal when it came to the movies and TV shows I consumed 🙈
This is my favourite SNL sketch with Eddie Murphy... Although the Buckwheat sketches come in a close second...
There were some lols here. I'm a few years ahead of you. Perhaps, like me you will probably lose the memory of why you entered the room and gain the urge to sleep more in the middle of the day.
Totally vibe with your post! Thank you for sharing! I'm always happy to read newsletters from others suffering from... we'll just call it changing brain function.
I’m a couple of decades ahead of you, and I can confirm that life will continue to take from you and give to you. And, of course, the gifts are not desirable, while your donations are things you’d rather have kept.
"(loss of)...a general vitality for life that makes living in these godforsaken times palatable". This is all too true😭.
Yesterday I quoted Queen via text - "Nothing really matters...tooo mee"
Dogs do make most things better, though! Good stuff.
Thanks Melanie.

Garnet seems to be looking at you, thinking, "If this is what happens when Dad turns 50, I expect more wild rides like this, youpie!"
God I love that dog. If we didn’t have two maniacs at home already I would totally be adopting her.

That’s awesome
I’m just here to also call attention to the way Garnet is looking at you. That is some big “You need to take me home yesterday” energy!
The look is mutual

I used to do the same thing to guys I worked with when all of the sudden they had to break readers out on the field 😀
Funny thing is…my dad needed glasses his entire adult life, up until like 10 or so years ago. He’s 81 now and sees perfectly! Go figure.

The energy thing is something I am consumed with.
Yo Yo Ma said that humans
are energy and that energy doesn't die. It's transformed.
I realized that energy is the Force that moves everything.
Including your hair. LOL
This is the first time I have seen your work. Thank you!
Thank YOU Linda!
And I believe it. I’m actually reading a book right now with similar themes.

Dude I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated this comment.
FYI…I keep the other guy squirreled away most of the time 😉

That’s amazing. Didn’t realize he toured.

Guessing you’ve seen his doc?
Yes! So fun!

Hahahaha…dying. I forgot about that one. Hot in the hot tub 🤣🤣🤣. I’ll be singing that all day 😱😱🤣🤣

Forgetting why I entered a particular room happens to me at least once a day.
I’m doomed Paul.

The change 🤣! My wife was starting to think I was going nuts, then it started happening to her.
Put a bumble Bee in your butt… put ME in your butt! Is still burned into my brain.
🤣🤣🤣
William Hung! There's a name from the past.
Women have odd hair loss/growth too-- you will come to find out with wifey. We also gain in pounds. It's fun.
Just wait until the kids are out of the house. You think your dogs are special now...!
Yeah, as it relates to the brain stuff, my wife was starting to think I was going crazy…then it started happening to her 🤣
We’re a year and a half away from being empty nesters. Can’t quite wrap my head around that yet.
Brain Energy... with some dude effects 👂🪱
BBE, big brain energy
You forgot about belly fat. Or at least that's what I've gained since turning 50 a year ago!
I gained that a long time ago and it never left!!!
I’m a couple of decades ahead of you, and I can confirm that life will continue to take from you and give to you. And, of course, the gifts are not desirable, while your donations are things you’d rather have kept.
Such is the trade off for more days above the dirt I suppose. I’ll take it though!!
…william hung deserves a comeback, no way he is worse than the slopsterpieces being skanked out on suno…
Fair.
And truth be told, I think I kinda liked him at the time. He was silly, but fun. It did get old though.
…his album also wasn’t even novelty level good too…maybe he and psy can cohost a variety show…
Ha, Psy! Have you seen that video of him flying up from beneath the stage? It’s kinda cool.
good stuff
