The Decay of the Boomers

If you're a Boomer many of your conversations with like-aged friends goes something like this:

You [Hey Bubba! How are the goats?]

Bubba [Oh the goats are good, but Doc gave me a new Rx, makes me pee all the time.]

You [I'm on that stuff too, just drink more fluids]

Bubba [Yep, guess I ought to... Reckon I'd get all dry and crispy like that pasture otherwise. Gave that hill over 'thar a stern look and it burst into flames!]

You [Well... y'all be careful.]

We of a certain age are starting to decay. Do you know anybody taking no meds at all, with all their internal organs and joints intact? I thought not, so if you're old enough to be receiving the 11 pounds of literature shipped monthly by AARP, you can join one of our Clubs!

The newest member of the Hi!BP Club is Jpo, who comes to us late in the game. Grj and Mbz, President & VP, have been on BP meds for ages. BP is SO last decade. Ao and Jg Co-Chair the Whoa-C! Club with style and humor. Gk heads up "The-Good-Lord-Gave-Me-Two-Means-One-Is-Disposable" branch of the Removal & Replacement Committee. Tz founded the "We <3 Statins" division of the Elevated-LDL Party.

I shan't go on and on.

And just think what we could do with the combined total for all our respective dental work...

What's a decrepit old geezer to do but hobble on over to the blender, squeeze a few limes, pull out the Sauza reposado and mix up a batch of Margs. The roar of the old Waring doesn't bother us much nowadays. Guess getting deaf as a stump ain't so awful after all. Salud!
