Random ramblings from the cluttered brain of a Brit ex-pat North Devonian trying to keep cool in the steamy summers and warm in the frosty winters of The Great White North.

Old Age Is.....
I agree with this statement....
... although I'm not quite there yet, it's steadily approaching, and I'm not very keen on the alternative.
What a wonderful, unfortunately true, statement to put on gravestone! Wish I could have met them; must have been a nice couple with their nicknames and everything!
I was reading blogs and you know how one thing leads to another site, another click, and I saw yours here - I am lauging my ass off at that comment on the grave stone. Bravo - Peelars! For a wonderful sence of hunor. Life's an adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, I had never heard of a "Peeler" until now, a quick look on the internet reveals it was probably an early American Policeman. What we in the UK would probably have called a "Copper" or a "Bobby", we are aways learning.

That's quite a statement. I agree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sense of humor those Peelars had! Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhy are Nelson and Myrtle in quotes? Nicknames??
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful statement. They must have known. I certainly begin to say the same thing.
ReplyDeletelol
With a sense of humour like that, they must have been Peelars of the community. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope my headstone makes someone laugh someday. What a wonderful gift to leave behind.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what my 93 year old father said the other day.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet they were a fun couple with a line like that! They said it like it was.
ReplyDeleteold age may be a bugger, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.....
ReplyDeleteLOL! I wonder who put that on their headstone. Children? Nieces and nephews? Sisters and brothers (not likely). They sure had a sense of humour!

ReplyDeleteBrilliant! So true though!!!

ReplyDeleteThat is a great statement. I have to agree that at times it really is a bugger. Considering the alternative perhaps its not so bad.
ReplyDeleteMyrtle Viola 1910. hope it was a happy life or at elast no regrets. bugger!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth! Life becomes more precious every single day, Sham!

ReplyDeleteYup....the alternative is the bugger.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot....they must've been a fun couple!
ReplyDeleteOld age is a bugger and it sure is NOT The Golden Years. In fact, The Golden Years SUCK, Big-Time! (lol)
