Well, she's 68 and a half.
It can actually be a bit of a problem sometimes.
People doubt the age on her passport, men chat her up (which she loves) and people think she's much younger, including me, and forget she's not quite as active and fit as she was, and a little more fragile. She doesn't get treated with the same respect that obviously old people sometimes do.
And I look older than her, though I'm thirteen years younger.

mmmm, I can see why that could be a problem. Maybe when she goes out, she should use a cane or wear one of those medical boots for a sprained ankle, then they will treat very differently. But if I look as good as her when I am her age I will be a very happy lady.

He's got lots of stories.
Most of them are fabrications.
Which ones are true, it's impossible to tell.............

Just tell us one. Just one of them will do. Like the Leprechaun's one had become that he steals money and leaves horses with no names to roam the desert with Opo on tow.

I always thought it was Willy and Nilly. I will demonstrate it in a sentence: "You cannot just change names willy nilly whenever you want to!!"

As is well known, penguins change the first sound of their names every six months.
So, originally it was Silly and Willy, but Nilly, Chilly, Billy, Dilly, etc. are all probably correct at times.

Oh Dark Lord, please remind us of the one legged Pirates story again?
Click to expand...
His leg was bitten off by a Killer Spindly Fish near the Cape Of No Hope.
His doctor recommended rum to relieve the pain and he became addicted.
Before that he'd only drunk Tizer.
He woke up one morning in the Cold Dark Room, with no idea of how he'd got here.
Even more mysterious, was that the kitchen serving hatch and surrounds from his ship, "The Dead Duck" were with him.
It was enough to make the bar, but nothing left over for furniture.
I met him on my first entrance to the Cold Dark Room and he became the doorman, then barman and sometimes waiter.

That's funny! I had the exact opposite problem!

Here's the story of my ducks.

Three different years, I raised a pair of ducklings when I was a kid. I was mama, and they would follow me everywhere. I built a chicken wire cage outside for them to sleep in. The cage had an old door laid on top to keep them in. Every evening my mom would stand on the back porch and watch and laugh hysterically as I would catch a duck, put it in the cage, catch the second one, and the first would escape while I'm getting the second one in...this was a nightly ritual for several weeks.

Each year, the pair would mature into adults and be extremely loyal to each other. My family has a summer place on the water in MD, and we would take the ducks there and set them free...time after time after time...they wouldn't go! They would follow me back to the house. Eventually they got the message and stayed on the water, but if I saw them and called, they would come running even two or three years later.

One time I spotted one swimming in circles. The wild ducks were picking on it, and its healthy brother was defending it.

I rowed my little boat to the bird, and he had gotten his leg caught in a muskrat trap that idiots would set along the shore. The leg was horribly mangled. So I took him home and Healthy Brother followed us, quacking all the way.

My parents, bless them, were sympathetic to my wailing and we took Broken Leg to the vet. Healthy Brother went too, since he jumped in the car. I carried Broken Leg in to the exam room, and Healthy Brother made circles on the floor under the exam table, quacking at the top of his lungs the entire time. It was actually embarrassing the racket he made.

The infection in the leg was awful. When "put to sleep" was mentioned, I went berserk, screaming and wailing. Remember, I was around 8 or 9.

So the vet said he would try to save him. We left Broken Leg, and dragged Healthy Brother home. No one slept that night.

Next day we go back to the vet. He had washed out Broken Leg's leg, set the bone, and put a cast on.

We took both ducks home, and every weekend we would bring them back to the summer place, where my job was to prevent Broken Leg from going into the water. I was kept running.

Eight weeks later my dad and I removed the cast...the leg had a big knot at the break site, but the duck was healthy and the leg was great. Then I had to get them to leave me again.

Those two ducks lived for at least 3 more years until I lost track of them. They never left each other's sides.
