Julie Andrews Turns 69, this is hysterical

To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a

special appearance at

Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.

One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from

the legendary

movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > >

(Sing It!)

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,

Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,

Bundles of magazines tied up in string,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,

Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,

Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,

When the knees go bad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,

No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,

Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',

Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',

And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,

When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,

When the eyes grow dim,

Then I remember the great life I've had,

And then I don't feel so bad.

Time sucks! It just keeps moving faster and faster away from me.

Only a SECOND ago, I was a kid, I every once in a while I might have gotten hurt a bit, maybe felt pain, but I HEALED QUICKLY and the "pains" were laughable. I had EYES, I could READ without glasses and I liked to look at beautiful women, and food tasted good, and...

In no time at all... I wake up with PAIN, takes minutes to get oreintated, and I feel dizzy and stagger around until at least my second cup of coffee. I am driving my son all over the place to football practice, shooting events, archery events, etc. so he can be the kid. Now I have to use glasses to read, I have to ask my son all the time to "look over there and tell me, is that one person or two people talking to each other?"..... He replies... "Uh, no it's traffic sign that's been bent over next to a sapling..." he does not have to add to that what I KNOW he is thinking: "you blind old fart!" I know he is thinking that because that is what I was myself thinking only a SECOND ago when some old geezer would ask me to be his "seeing eye dog."

I have decided that the nature of time, space, and the universe just plain sucks, because my prime "years" only lasted less than one second.

SERIOUSLY, it was like only a second ago I was a KID, not a care in the world, bullet-proof health, hornier than a three balled tom cat, not any money in my pocket but I still had fun. Damn those years do go by in a blink don't they?
