Jackie, I couldn't stand spinach when I was little. Now I will eat spinach pie and I used to grow it in the garden. It was a good substitute for lettuce when the weather got colder.

MarsGal, as a young child the only way my father could make me eat spinach and curly kale was to put vinegar on it, of course i cant take vinegar now as i was told 20 years ago i had a hiatus hernia and at one time i suffered terrible reflux and regurgitations so vinegar has been off my list for some years...

" Turned on the water works "
...long time since i last heard that...I am watching a recorded yesterdays Coronation Street programme where there is an ongoing court procedure where the mother of her murdered son says of the guilty party who is lying his head off and sobbing in court..

" He - she has a sharp tongue '

...was often said by my family of someone who criticizes and talks in a sharp way...we have all come across people like that, haven't we, out to cause trouble.... ;)

Yes, it probably is. I'll have to dig around to find the old list.

Found it. That would be Number 1103.

TWELVE COMMANDMENTS FOR SENIORS
#1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice.
#2 - "In Style" are the clothes that still fit.
#3 - You don't need anger management. You need people to stop ticking you off.
#4 - Your people skills are just fine It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work.
#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, "I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it."
#6 - "On time" is when you get there.
#7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid - but it sure does muffle the sound.
#8 - It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller.
#9 - Lately, You've noticed people your age are so much older than you.
#10 - Growing old should have taken longer.
#11 - Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut you up.
#12 - You still haven't learned to act your age, and hope you never will.
And the golden rule: "One for the road" means peeing before you leave the house.

Jackie, I remember that one well. Heard it often where I grew up. Will check, and add, if not already on the list.

Just checked. That was number 198.

I think we do, and I've more or less concluded adding to the list ----- which is buried deep in my computer.
