Estelle Morton mistakenly poured 2 tablespoons of “Maalox”, meant for her cup of black coffee, instead into her coffeemaker 😮 …ECK!!!

It took Estelle many hours to clean the thick antiacid out of her “Mr. Coffee”, so she could make her morning cup of java. ...Oey Vey!!!

……………………. Dee-Dee herself 👇………………………

I brushed my teeth “accidently” with “Desitin” Cream, (RX for the tush) … NOT for my mouth of capped teeth. Oey Vey!!!

I didn’t put the white tube of “Destin Cream” back to its usual spot in the medicine cabinet, but next to my white Colgate toothpaste. Not paying attention, I squeezed the wrong white stuff onto my toothbrush. ECK!!! PHEWY!!!😝🙄 I almost vomited…

……………………Murray…………………...

😃🤔🙄

When my 88-year-old-friend, Murray, emailed me yesterday, it was about his buddy, Allan, who was receiving physical therapy. This for he had suffered a stroke. Allan was depressed as well understandably.

So, I offered what I meant as encouragement… the following true story:

🎵 “My father-in-law learned to re-play the violin, after P.T. (for his stroke").

Guess how Murray responds to me…😮🙄🙃?

🎵 “Dee-Dee does that mean Allan will now play the violin”? 🎻

(He doesn’t get my meaning) so… then he asks, “If I get a stroke, will I then play the piano? 🎹 🙄 I not only never played the piano in my life) … I can’t even spell piano”, he writes me back.

“Ho-Ho, Ha-Ha” 🤣

Label me crazy… but the things we Golden- Agers do, or say, just seem hilarious to me!

P.S. If we, seniors, cannot find humor in ourselves 👵👴👩‍🦳👨‍🦳… then Heaven help us! 🧡⛅⛅⛅
