taking fragments from the dusty attic

"Hi my name is Bill and it’s been 2 weeks since my last FF post."

Actually I missed two Fridays this month. Keep your FF post habit alive by visiting Mrs. 4444’s blog.

Isn’t everyone’s attic dusty? These fragments come from the attic of my mind but don’t worry the dust will not get through the internet.

My fragments are following a theme today. The older you get the more likely the theme of old age creeps into your day.

At what age should one stop hip-shaking on the dance floor?

Learned that Power Rangers celebrated their 20th anniversary. That makes me feel old. This news came via the Macy’s day parade telecast. I wonder how long that tradition has left. I was annoyed with the scripting used by announcers. It was a live parade and you would think the coverage would not need to be scripted.

Lisleman’s lame half-baked aging theory We notice certain ages more because the numbers are speed limits (40, 55, 60, 65).

We recently shopped a craft show.  My wife commented about all the Buicks in the parking lot. Funny how certain cars are associated with old people. We don’t own a Buick and never will. Do you think this will happen to the Toyota brand someday? Oh maybe it has already.

That old feeling comes when you discuss a newspaper article about baby boomers.  Boomers are having problems giving family heirlooms to their children because this next generation is not interested in heirlooms. One of the predictions from the article: 

“Over the next 15 years, Hall said, the estate sale market will be flooded with silver flatware, china and heavy, dark furniture that will quickly depreciate in value.” 

Do you think Ikea furniture will ever be handed down? Just think a hand-me-down that requires some assembly.

Seniors can make the best commercials.  Remember the famous "where's the beef" ad?  I consider this one just as funny.
