Right or wrong, make a decision. The road is paved with flat squirrels who couldn\u2019t make a decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\"> Happiness is not having to set the alarm clock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">When I get a headache I take two aspirin and keep away from children just like the bottle says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Just once, I want the prompt for username and password to say, \u201cClose enough.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Becoming an adult is the dumbest thing I\u2019ve ever done.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I\u2019m self-employed.&nbsp;We\u2019re having a meeting.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">\u201cYour call is very important to us.&nbsp; Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Does anyone else have a plastic bag full of plastic bags, or is it just me?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">I hate it when I can\u2019t figure out how to operate the iPad and my tech support guy is asleep. He\u2019s 5 and it\u2019s past his bedtime.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Today\u2019s 3-year-olds can switch on laptops and open their favorite apps. When I was 3, I ate mud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">So, you drive across town to a gym to walk on a treadmill?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">I didn&#8217;t make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">I decided to stop calling the bathroom &#8220;John&#8221; and renamed it the &#8220;Jim&#8221;. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Old age is coming at a really bad time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would&#8217;ve put them on my knees.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven&#8217;t met yet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Why do I have to press \u201cone\u201d for English when you&#8217;re just going to transfer me to someone I can&#8217;t understand anyway?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Now, I&#8217;m wondering . . . did I send this to you, did you send it to me or have I only seen one copy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\"><strong><em><u>Commandments for Seniors<\/u>\u2026\u2026<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">You don&#8217;t need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Your people skills are just fine. It&#8217;s your tolerance for idiots that needs work.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">&#8220;On time&#8221; is when you get there.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Even duct tape can&#8217;t fix stupid \u2013 but it sure does muffle the sound.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free&#8230;and three sizes smaller.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Lately, you&#8217;ve noticed people your age
