Old Mrs. Pierpont
A woman is worried about an older woman, a widow, who lives in the apartment next door. She hasn't heard anything from her for a few days. So she tells her son, "I want you to go next door and see how Old Mrs. Pierpont is."
A few minutes later, the boy returns.
"Well, is she all right?" the mother asks.
"She's fine, but she's annoyed with you," he says.
"At me? Whatever for?"
"Well," says her son, "Mrs. Pierpont told me it's none of your business how old she is."

They have finally found a diagnosis for my condition. It is A.A.A.D.D. or Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it goes:
I decide to wash the car;I start toward the garage and notice the mail on the hall table.OK,I'm going to wash the car but first I'm going to go through the mail.I lay the car keys down on the table, discard the junk mail but notice the trash can is full.
OK,I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the trash can out but since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway,I'll just pay these few bills first.Now, where is my cheque book? Oops,there's only one check left.My extra checks are in my desk.Oh,there's the Coke I was drinking.I'm going to look for those checks.
But first I need to put my drink further away from the computer,or maybe I'll just pop it in the fridge to keep it cold for awhile.I head toward the kitchen and notice that the flowers need some water. I set the drink on the counter and,oh oh!there are my glasses.I'd been looking for them all morning!I better put them away first.
I fill a container with water and head for the flowers - aaaah! somebody left the TV remote in the kitchen!We will be looking for that tonight when we watch TV so I'd better put it back into the family room where it belongs.
I spash some water onto the flowers and the floor.I throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and head back down the hall trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do.....
End of Day
the car isn't washed the bills are unpaid the Coke is sitting on the kitchen counter the flowers are half watered the check book only has 1 check in it and I can't find the car keys
When I try to figure out how come nothing got done today I'm baffled because I know I was busy all day.I realize this is a serious condition and I'll get help but first I'm going to check my email.

CONSPIRACY, WE MUST STOP THIS
Have you ever noticed that when you're of a certain age, everything seems uphill from where you are? Stairs are steeper. Groceries are heavier.And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones.They speak in whispers all the time!If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am.I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection........Well, REALLY NOW ......... even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking life and limb if you just happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on - but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too:they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in here! All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under attack!
Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon "everyone" will have to suffer these awful indignities.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has caused fonts to be smaller than they once were too!
