A report on Sky News am today stated that according to experts, women of 48 plus are

becoming "grumpy old women" and that fellas of that age plus are" amiable old souls" who are just getting on with life with the best of humour!.



Now in the interest of peace and quiet. I would like to state THAT I DO NOT HAVE A VIEW ON THIS REPORT, and am merely passing on the report for the benefit, and consideration of others.



Perhaps when we read responses to this posting, we shall gain a better understanding, of what was being said!



D'ont shoot the messenger!



Anyone with strong views on the subject can E mail news@sky.com.



Cheers,

wynyardman

I DO NOT HAVE A VIEW ON THIS REPORT however if the sample of females interviewed were of the age stated are becoming "grumpy old women" then I think the poll or survey should start when a female reaches the age of 2 to 90 to get a more concise result.

At the Nursing Home a man took his elderly mother to a nursing home to check it out. He sat his mother down on a sofa in the main aisle way and went to talk with the administrators.



The old lady started to tilt slowly toward the left. A Doctor came by and said, "Let me help you." The Doctor piled several pillows on the left side of the old lady so she would stay upright.



The old lady started to tilt slowly to the right. An orderly noticed and put several more pillows on his right side to keep her upright.



The old lady started to lean forward when a nurse came by and piled several pillows in front of her. About this time, the son returned.



"Well, DMum, isn't this a nice place."



The old lady replied, "I guess it's ok, but they won't let me fart."

probably a survey done while the ladys in queastion are running around shopping for(steak) their men. and no time to chat as they have to get home and cook it, and remembering that the slippers aren't warmed up either.

living with the grumpy old men is bound to make us lovely ladys a bit frazzled at times. just a suggestion i am not at that age yet.

ilovemydogs,



As for the cooking of meals (not steak), the reason we have a smoke alarm in our house is to tell the wife when the foods cooked, (only joking dear, don't beat me "again")

Now Boys, you know you are all wonderful and that we absolutely adore you, you know that you are masters of the household, you know that we rely on you for every little thing, you know that our only desire is to wait on you hand and foot and make your wildest dreams come true, you know that we tell you all these things, and you know that if you choose to question them we may become grumpy because we know what is best for you and we don,t want you worrying your little heads about anything as that could make you grumpy too and then we may have words, bet you can guess what words they will be !!!!!!!

Cruggs,

Spot on young man, well most of the time anyway.

But if I am REALLY grumpy it,s " I,m going shopping to buy myself some shoes", I don,t know why but that always turns him pale, bless his little cotton socks, he,s a little love really.

Why do men die first





If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race ... you're a male chauvinist.

If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy.

If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her.

If you don't work enough ... you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation.

If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay ... you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.



If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is favouritism.

If she gets a job ahead of you ... its equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks ... its sexual harassment.

If you keep quiet ... its male indifference.

If you cry ... you're a wimp.

If you don't ... you're an insensitive *******.

If you make a decision without consulting her ... you're a chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy ... that's domination.

If she asks you ... it's a favour.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ... you're a pervert.

If you don't ... you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist.

If you don't ... you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're vain.

If you don't ... you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers ... you're after something.

If you don't ... you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself.

If you don't ... you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache ... she's tired.

If you have a headache ... you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often ... you're oversexed.

If you don't ... there must be someone else.



Why do men die first?









Because they bloody want to!

'The Obedient Wife'



There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real 'miser' when it came to his money.



Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me..'



And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.



Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,



'Wait just a moment!'

She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said,



'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to p ut all that money in there with your husband.'



The loyal wife replied, 'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.'

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?'

'I sure did,' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.'

hi hattikins, thank you for the complement (YOUNG MAN ) message no 39. but

please look at my profile. IM 64 FOR CHRIST- SAKE and proud to be so. and

would not want to be in my 50s again.just look at the comments by some of the young puppys on this thread in their 50s,it makes me seethe with fury

and indignation at how they wimper and whine about their wifes lack of cooking skills, what`s wrong with them cooking their loved ones a nice meal to

show how much they appreciate them for being so wonderful

p.s as i typed this my wife was hovering over my shoulder

O well some you win and some you loose lol

Hi Cruggs

64 is young, it means you are old enough to be naughty and young enough to still enjoy it, just as long as the good lady wife says it,s ok.

These whippersnappers have much to learn yet, but then we have been married for forty years so my other half has had plenty of time to get it right, well, almost right, he still can,t cook to save his life.
