Because they make up everything!’ Ah, even computers have a sense of humor… or at least they’ve learned to mimic one!”  “You know you’re getting old when you bend down to tie your shoe and wonder what else you can […]

I was sent this by one of my high school friends, I added to it and thought I would share1.           1.    I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as I’d done many times before.
