NOTE: I have posted this previously, but took it down to post the Halloween candy recall info. If you've already read this, feel free to move on...and thanks for stopping by!
ALSO: I was in TJ Maxx yesterday (SURPRISE...I know), and they are having 20% off everything...including clearance, this weekend! From what I was told, this applies to Home Goods & Marshall's too!
If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ...
But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.
My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.
My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it --
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.
Is you body a car?
Note: My model doesn't have ALL of these problems yet, but I'm sure they're on the way!

Good morning Tardevil, I have not seen this yet. I had a big laugh and a sigh at the same time. LOL. I am 69 and suffering from some of these things. However, I am alive and kicking and I intend to keep it that way.
