If you like a metaphor, doesn't it become like, a simile?

FK - careful what you wish for.

I ain't joking. Blind, deaf, mad, or impotent - I have no wish to continue on those terms. Not sure about a wheelchair either.

Mad - well, I'm a wargamer, so of course I'm a bit round the twist. That doesn't count; just normal healthy obsessive-compulsive.

My dad has alzhiemers and he's only 69. This might sound weird but it's not that bad. He doesn't realise he has the condition, doesn't remember that he forgets. It doesn't cause him any pain or distress  (yet) hard work for me but reassured it's not too bad for him.
That's the thing with dementia it affects others more than the patient. If that makes sense.

Certainly does, Matey.....The MIL hasn't got a clue as to how it affects me and Von.....Just lives in her own 'immediately current world'.

Shaved the moustache off today for the first time in 42 years and already I look 20 minutes younger. 

On porpoise or accidentally?

After I retired from work I got my eyes laser adjusted so no more glasses, shaved off the mustache and now lots of people don't think I am an old age pensioner.

I have had a beard for fifty years. It is now snow white. I am often mistaken for Santa Claus.
I once shaved it of in my forties. It did not make me look even twenty minutes younger.
I made me look like Quasimodo.
In the streets strong men quavered, women fainted, small children became hysterical.
I wore a ski mask for a month until it grew back.

OW - get OUT NOW

Just jumping through the hoops, don't get in a flap!

OK, to answer the question, I did it on dolphin.

[It's really weird. My upper lip is a lot thinner than I remember. Is it really mine? Wait a minute. OK, who's got my real upper lip .....?]

Will - just say "So long and thanks for all the fish"

This is what dolphins think about porpoises round 'ere.

Westie,
I notice you appear to have renounced your OPE, did our Leveller ways rub off on you?  

Dammit! I must have let the subscription to Techno lapse.   

Eh ?
