Old Codger's Club, VII

[Gib]

I usually decorate my office at work. I try to use stuff from the office to spruce things up. I need to write a book on, Office Decorations, using everyday office supplies.

 

[dianetavegia]

Got any red and green paperclips, Gib? LOL

You could fold all the old magazines into Christmas Trees. Remember when we used to do that with Readers Digest and spray paint them green? Boy did we think we were creative!

 

[Gib]

We did make remote control ornaments one year. They were very fitting for the front lobby.

 

[dianetavegia]

LOL, sounds funny! Must have scared some people tho!

 

[Gib]

Yea, but all the men wanted to grab one and horde it.

 

[dianetavegia]

Men are just little boys at heart.

I'll never grow up. I'll always be the little girl with her teddy bears and paper dolls.

 

[AVL1984]

Hey, I haven't played with toy trains in YEARS! LOL
I do, however, play with my die cast car collection!

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Grandmas are just 'antique little girls'...

 

[AVL1984]

Yep, the paint's wearing off, and there are cracks and dents in them...LOL

 

[dianetavegia]

Hubby made the mistake of saying 'we're both in our late 50's'. I'm NOT in my late 50's. LOL so I told him to get his facts straight!

Gib has no excuse. He's just a child.

 

[AVL1984]

Vivian kept saying the other day that we were in our "middle 40's". I'm only 42, and she just turned 41. I told her to quit making us older than we are. I know our salt and pepper hair makes us LOOK older, but I'm not in any hurry to join AARP! LOL

 

[dianetavegia]

Good Grief Tony! Let's not push it!

Jim's hair is bright white but mine is frosted to blend in my white.

 

[AVL1984]

Mine is turning white, and has been for the last seven years or so. Vivian's was partially white when I met her (she had it dyed...she was prematurely grey/white). When she lets the dye go out of her hair, she looks like that Pepe le Pew or Josie from Josie and the Pussycats!

 

[dianetavegia]

Ah! I have the same stripe!! It runs in our family. I started coloring it when I was in my 20's because it looked like a skunk stripe in light brown hair!

 

[AVL1984]

LOL, that's why Vivian does it. I think it's neat, but she doesn't. I like the skunk stripe. That Josie was one hot mamma! LOL

 

[dianetavegia]

I have a good bit of white around my face and crown now but almost none in the back! I never liked my stripe! LOL

 

[AVL1984]

Mine is really salt and pepper, and it's really weird in my beard...only on the sides for the most part. Crazy!

 

[dianetavegia]

Jim has solid white hair but when he had a mustache or beard, it was red. He had red hair when we were married but with lots of white at just 23!

 

[Gib]

Grey is a state of mind.

 

[dianetavegia]

Well I THINK I'm still a young woman so I wonder if I can trick my body into agreeing with me? I ache all over tonight! Remind me not to lift a 40 lb child into a porta crib!
