SUCCESS CIRCLES; BLOG #2312;FRI AUG 20,2021

THE COMEBACK:





I WENT LINE DANCING LAST NIGHT


SOBRIETY TESTS ARE NOT DANCING


THE MESSAGE:


Growing older is a weird notion to wrap your mind around. As you go through life, your perspectives on almost everything will change.   At age 20, people who are in their 40's seem old. When a person turns 40 one doesn't seem old at all. You don't feel old at 50. That happens much later ....and so, on it goes.



TONY TODAY:




HOW YOU DEFINE SUCCESS WILL CHANGE. 

The pictures that follow demonstrate another weird reality. Life does indeed come 'full circle'.

Here is the beginning. At age 2 success is not peeing in your pants.






At age 12 success is having friends.




At age 16 success is having a drivers license.






At age 20 success is having sex.





At age 35 success is having a good job and earning money.






At age 55 success is having savings.






At age 75 success is having sex.






At age 80 success is having a drivers license that isn’t expired.





At age 85 success is having friends that still laugh at your corny jokes.





At age 90 success is not peeing in your pants. OOPS!



THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE AND HOPEFULLY LIFE GOES ON; HOWEVER, HERE'S MORE REALITY:

SUCCESS IS NOT HEARING YOUR BELOVED WIFE SAY ONE OF THESE DREADED WORDS EACH DAY:


1) "FINE” 
The word a wife uses to end an argument when she knows she is right and you need to shut up as she walks away.



2) “WHATEVER"

A wife's way of telling you that you are full of BULL SH*T. She is really wondering how one man could be so stupid. Then she remembers her father-in-law and shakes her head slightly. Her eyes roll skyward accompanied by a scornful grimace.

3) “OKAY

Your wife is stalling for time while thinking of the various ways she will make you pay for the boneheaded idea  you thought you were discussing while she chalked it up as an argument . AGAIN IT'S TIME TO SHUT UP, GIVE UP,  AND WALK AWAY!



4) “I DON'T CARE GO AHEAD"

Do not mistake this for permission. You are hooked. This is her way of feigning indifference while filing and storing the event in the back of her mind to recall and exaggerate it later when the opportunity arises . DO NOT PROCEED! LET IT GO!


5) “NOTHING
\
Put down that paper dummy! Don't be fooled. You need to be concerned. Figure it out quickly or you will pay!  Who called? What did I buy recently? Where have I been? What did I say yesterday? Where's my dog?

THE MUSIC:

STUFF:




THE PUN:

Some people seem to have aged like fine wine.  I aged like milk ... I got sour and chunky.





THE QUESTION:




Does wisdom truly come as one ages?

THE LEMON:


Awarded to the man who ignores the cycle!
