what wonderful truism you have collected.
Thank you dear friend for waking me up to make me smile.
The last one really hit home, my cardiologist has forbidden salt. Is life worth living eating bland food without flavour?
I may not have much time left but it will feel like a million years.

These are great -- I like the George Burns' having the beginning and end of a sermon as close together as possible.
Each one is better than the next.
These are most definitely priceless Sylvia. Thanks for this post and thanks for stopping by.
Oh thank you Sylvia for some real entertainment today...some I laughed out loud!
That was a good laugh, through and through, Sylvia. I enjoyed every one of them.
Thanks, Sylvia. These are indeed priceless.
My son probably shares the same sentiments as Joe Namath...
Good stuff Sylvia. I've had a lot of trouble leaving comments on your site lately. As long as I don't have trouble READING it I'm OK though ;>)
Excellent!
