                                                       Uncle Billy Thinks
                                                     Ravings of a mad man


After having another birthday, I realized I have reached the age when celebrating surviving another year is appropriate.

Other old age thoughts I had include:

     If youth is fleeting old age is sonic
     Old age is a "state of mind."  You can't remember what "state" you're in.
     I wish I knew now what I knew then!
I think there were more.......but can't remember them.

I wonder How it Happened

                                                       Uncle Billy Thinks
                                                      Ravings of a mad man
                                     


Every morning I check the Harrisburg obituaries to see if anyone I know died....................
         then I check the Crime Report to see how it happened.

Attendance Incentives

                                                  UNCLE BILLY THINKS                                                                                                                          Ravings of a mad man                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     


                        Sadly last week we buried my older brother  after a 7 year battle with
                         Lymphoma.   He had a good life and touched many.  At least 1,500 to 2,000
                         came to visitation and the funeral.  I told people, " You couldn't get this kind of
                          turnout at my funeral if you offered free shovels and dancing shoes.

Wise Use of Space?

Spectator Sport

                                                                UNCLE BILLY THINKS
                                                              Ravings of a mad man...

A few years back I was putting a new rubber roof on  my home.  My 30 yr old neighbor, tenant and and friend was on the roof lending some help.  We began talking about my lack of a cell phone and computer.  At the time I was still resisting getting a computer.  I told him if I had one I'd probably spend all my time watching internet porn anyway.   He gave me a strange look and I said, "You'll find out!  When you reach a certain point in life sex becomes a spectator sport."   laughter

World travel





                                                             UNCLE BILLY THINKS

This morning while meeting with a client he was telling me of his travels.   "We have been to all the continents."       I told him the only continents I saw in my future were INCONTINENCE.








Cleanliness next to godliness?

Last night a very close friend of mine who nearly died last year said when she thought it was over her last thought was, "At least I won't have to clean that basement!"  She said  a voice said it's not your time yet.

I told her if you saw my basement you would understand, why in the same circumstances I'd have said."TAKE ME NOW!!!   "TAKE ME NOW!!!!
