If we are lucky, we will remember your experiences. <br /><br />I hope you can pick up where your 103 y.o. neighbor leaves off. Your liveliness and interests come off as someone who is a lot age-wise younger. I assume this is your natural state of mind and I am impressed. I understand your needing to speak the few things you want to say before you forget them. I have tripped over this predicament myself. <br /><br />Hang in there and speak up.

Stretching the definition of body parts a bit, you might have included: fat, lap, lid (eyelid), ova (or egg), pit (arm pit), pus, wax and a few other DF terms. Personally, since doctors use the word “gut” to describe your digestive body parts, I think it should be included too.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-17614004714299562912011-06-13T20:33:28.744-05:002011-06-13T20:33:28.744-05:00@seen, would egg then be viable?@seen, would egg then be viable?Frenchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121204927549427122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-36156597649596751262011-06-13T19:36:01.133-05:002011-06-13T19:36:01.133-05:00Just kidding.

I did have 'gut' though which I don't think is slang as drs. use it all the time.<br /><br />Kazie, I was middle-aged or even younger until 80. Since then I feel life getting short. My mind doesn't seem a lot different than it ever did. Not only intelli-gence, but interests and dreams(?). Memory definitely not so sharp and I talk too much and am not always a good listener. The listening businss has to do with wanting to say something and being afraid you'll forget it by the time your turn comes around!
