    Time flies when you are having fun!

    it brings us that much closer to the new system

    My grandma used to say the same thing. She's in heaven now, bless her crotchety soul! (sorry don't know how to change the font color)

    LOOSIE- You could tell your acquaintance , " Oh! How good of you to notice me growing older ! But I'm really having a blast getting older in this old system of things - thank you very much ! " And watch their mouth drop open

    Just agree: "Yes, it's been right around the corner for one hundred thirty years. It can't be much longer."

    Ok one of the only two people who don't know I haven't gone to meetings in 3 years sent me this remark: , i can't believe how all this time has gone by. the one good thing about getting older like this is that it brings us that much closer to the new system

    I need a witty reply. I am taking suggestions.

    Yes it is exciting to be so close. Even if the "new system" doesn't come before you die and that is increasing a good possibility (and you are old) the resurrection hope is a real blessing.

    Hope, that was really funny about 1975. I know what you mean, there was an elder in our congregation who said, in 1974, that Armageddon was no longer around the corner, it was staring us in the face. Yawn, whatever!!!

    Hmmmm, Loosie.......do you want to be witty and nice or witty and cutting or just witty?

    i can't believe how all this time has gone by. the one good thing about getting older like this is that it brings us that much closer to the new system

    Those really are boneheaded remarks.

    How about, "My asymptote, we're closer!!!" Chances are they won't know what an asymptote is and when they find out it will give them a pretty good clue about how close you feel the "new system" is.

    Sorry if this is a little obscure, it's the science geek in me.

    Cheers,

    asymptote = an imaginary line that a curve approaches.
