Actually the exact quote is: "Old age is no place for sissies. and it
was said by Bette Davis And since I'm just recovering from bronchial pneumonia I sure agree with that statement. Lucille "Pat P" wrote in message ... Well, you know what Sheena says. "Old age isn`t for sissies!!!" Pat P "Gillian Murray" wrote in message news Nope, make that three. Unfortunately right eye is going a tad faster than left eye, so it lies around all lazy while I stitch, and leftie does all the looking!! isn't "maturing" fun???LOL Gillian |

I knew that there was something up, but I usually go to the Optician`s other
office in the next town as he has some pretty steep stairs up to the examination room here in Felixstowe, I had to cancel twice at the last minute due to John being too ill to drive. Anyway, my daughter Jane took me down to the Felixstowe one so it was third time lucky - and I managed the stairs fine in any case! John`s so much better today - he even took the dogs for a short walk. I made him take one of our little two way radios just in case he had any problems. I didn`t go with him - we have a very cold wind here today, and that starts my angina off. What a couple of old wrecks!!! Later on he even came round the supermarket with me, so he`s DEFINITELY improving. It must be all the hugs he`s been getting from all you people! Pat P "animaux" wrote in message ... Pat, my mom had an advance stage of cataracts before she finally went to the eye doctor. She no longer saw color. Geesh, talk about not taking care of yourself...I digress; She had the surgery and it was a cinch. My mother doesn't go to the doctor unless it's in an ambulance and she said it was nothing.

I think you are paraphrasing the inimitable Bette Davis. "Old age is
no place for sissies" Well if she said it first, more power to her. Jere |

Oy, you canytankerous lot - all I said was "As Sheena often says" (she
does!) I didn`t say she was the FIRST to say it, so don`t start a perishing international incident with it! LOL! Pat P wrote in message ... On Fri, 16 Jan 2004 22:13:27 -0000, "Pat P" wrote: Well, you know what Sheena says. "Old age isn`t for sissies!!!" Pat P Stamping foot - no, no! Credit where credit is due. Bette Davis said it - I believe while doing an interview (not long before she died) on Good Morning America. Despite the fact everyone was already so gd pure, she was smoking a cigarette on set right in the face of whatever that man's name was who used to do the show then. Anchor's had long since given up smoking at that point. I can forget him and his name but I happened to see that part of the show and I can't forget Bette!! Now smoking witches don't bother going after me - she smoked like a chimney that's a fact - she did not die of lung cancer at an early age. She lived her life as she thought to live it, was much to be admired as a woman when being a woman in a major job was not an easy thing, and was very successful at it. More power to her. I admired her greatly. I don't smoke. Sheena "Gillian Murray" wrote in message news Nope, make that three.

Twenty million humble apologies. May I lie prone so you can kick me in the
derriere?? Actually, I do apologise for "stole". I should have said "quoted from" because you know this good stuff, AND you are older than me...LOLOL. I also attributed to BD, not a favorite actress, but what a character! I guess now I can't ask you about correct attire/ clothing in NS!! Hugs, and NO smileys, gillian wrote in message ...
