Recently, which, when one is up in years, could mean last Tuesday, or, nine years ago. A gal I dated... her grandchild turned one year old. A cake smash was held, but, unlike any I'd seen.. The poor little lady, her head was pushed into the cake.
In retrospect, mebbe not a bad, representative "Welcome to life kid."
A year. 365 days. Not this year Victor. Right you are, 'tis a leap year, thus, 366.
About years, 7 kinda confuses me. There's the Fido thing... when he's one, he's really 7... 2, really 14, three, 21, and we'll stop there 'cause my math sucks. There's the saying 'keep a thing 7 years and you'll always find a use for it'.... but too, it's said "You should know a man seven years before you stir his fire." And yet................
There's anudder saying about 'a seven year itch' which, onea them dictionary sites indicated "The supposed inclination of a person, typically a man, to begin longing for sexual relations with other people after seven years of marriage." Well hell's bells... if she's known him 6 years, 364 days and she ain't stirred his fire yet, not guilty, he should be gettin' all kindsa itchy the next day too!
Advanced in years. On in years. Golden years. One's sunset years. Twilightyears, wellupinyears, one'sautumnyears, pushingoninyears, upinyears, donkey's years... I'm trying to remember why I even chose this year thing as a topic today. I'd never heard the donkey's years thing... simpleton I guess. Means a long time. It's believed mebbe it was said "as long as donkey's Ears" but written "Donkey's years." Dunno.
Speakin' o' ass and years, my sister's kiddo was 3 years old. (Victor, your told this one last year.. oh well).. She had around 12 Barbies she adored. Her pappy, well, let's just say he had a vocabulary sometimes. Anyways, long about 8pm, the three year old had all 12 Barbies in her bed... and she neatly lined them up in a row along the full length of the crib. Mama, my sister.. went into the room at ten.. kiddo sound asleep... one by one she picked the Barbies up, placed them in the toy chest next to the crib. Just as she moved the 12th one, the three year old popped up and said "I knew you'd ass it up."
Four score and seven years ago. Of course, that's Abe... at Gettysburg. Yes, a score is 20 years, so, four of them 20's plus 7 = 87. As in, when the country was founded. 87 pesos = $5.07. $87 = 1492 pesos, or... was the year that Christopher feller sailed the ocean blue.
"Write it on your heart... every day is the best day of the year." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Back to years. In the year 1930, some feller named Babe Ruth was negotiating his contract. It was the Depression.. .Millions unemployed, thousands literally starving. Writers tried convincing The Babe "no way" he should ask for so much (he'd made $80K, but everyone was taking a cut).. “$8o,ooo a year! In these times!” expostulated one of the writers. "Don’t be silly, Babe. Why that’s more than Hoover gets for being president of the United States.” (then, $75.) To which Mr. Babe replied “What the hell has Hoover got to do with this?” demanded the Babe. “Anyway, I had a better year than he did.”
"Sex after 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope. Even putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill." George Burns
Never in a million years... roll back the years.. year in year out.. light years away... big year... election year (criminy)...
“Every single year, we’re a different person. I don’t think we’re the same person all of our lives.” – Steven Spielberg
If you could pick, who would you be for a year?
Color me boring... I'd prolly just stay me as it's simpler. Hopefully you have more imagination, zest, hop-to-it-ness.
Have a great resta the year... Go Chiefs......
Love, Victurd
