Bingo!
Oh dear. I have to get this typed in before I take a nap 8-) I do yell “get off my lawn” at the deer, or
rather, “Quit eating my plantings!”. Of course, they ignore me and practically try to come in my front door! How about yelling at the Downy Woodpeckers to quit drumming on my garage…? Oy!
Roz nails it again.
I have line three across! What’s my prize?
I’m sure no one thought you could figure out how to MAKE a bingo card at your age! HAHHA. BTW, Do those young whippersnappers know who Mr. Magoo is?!??!?
Get off my lawn. Not a senior. Have been known to say it.
I’ll admit to perhaps a bit of rueful recognition at some of these. Fortunately, we moved to an apartment and no longer have a lawn, so at least one doesn’t apply.
That is so damn funny! But the one that really pisses me off is that I WASN’T at Woodstock. Rats!!!

Love these myth busters. All of them are great!
The first time someone offered me a senior discount I almost leaped over the counter and throttled the whipper-snapper. I’ve started being more tolerant and will play bingo – right after I go adjust my lawn ornaments and yell at some kids to get off my lawn!
My pet peeve is “we can’t learn anything new.” And condescending looks from 20-somethings add flame to the fire.
HAHHAHA…this is hysterical!
Roz, this has more humor per square bingo card…um…per square foot than most humor features. :-)
This is priceless. Will have to print and check daily!
Depends. Urinary incontinence. No libido. Oh, my husband drives terribly and my BFF’s 85 year old husband does drive like Mr. Magoo. Oh dear. Maybe a few of these apply, after all!
Wonderful!
