My favorites, "It's weird being the same age as old people." , and "Never sing in the shower." Blessings , to you.

(11,789 posts)A couple of those made me literally LOL, which isn't that common when one is amused while alone. A great list, and LOTS of entries, which made it doubly good.
Thank you!
