March 2025
We are so pleased you’re here, Welcome! Can you believe that we are already going into our third month of 2025? March. “May the early spring Awaken your soul and Remind you to Celebrate the season with the Hope and joy it brings.”
Take responsibility for your health and challenge your negative self-talk. March is the month to get serious. Be serious about your health, relationships, plans, wellbeing, and yourself. Let the March wind blow away your worries. Let the spring sunshine plant the seeds of hope in your heart. Whether it’s the chirp of a bird or the first daffodil, March has a way of bringing hope through the smallest signs. "Every March is a fresh start."
May I ask a favor of you? Please send me an email, text message or any other means of communication and let me know how important our class website is to you. Do you visit often or not much? Would you be perfectly fine without a class website or would you like to see the website stay no matter what? The reason I ask is because our renewal date is approaching and it’s, like everything else, very costly. Our class has been reserving space online from Myevent.com for around thirty years now by purchasing their cheapest 5-year plan. We’ve been able to use the money collected from our donations box, which has been placed at each of our class reunions, and we plan to keep using those donations again as long as it’s something that we all want. I have been keeping the website current with the latest information presented to me since 2006 and, though I struggle to admit it, offer some tasteful humorous jokes to warm up your visit. I enjoy the work I do on the site and I hope you enjoy it to. I’m just saying. Jim@millstreamvideo.com
You don’t stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.
Kids today don’t know how easy they have it. When I was young I had to walk 9 feet across the room over a high shag pile carpet to change the TV channel.
You know you are getting old when your bank sends you a free calendar one month at a time.
Two men knocked on my front door today and asked me if I would donate to the new local swimming pool that was being bult. So I handed them a bottle of water.
I’ve sure gotten old. I’ve had two By-pass surgeries, a hip replacement, and two knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I am half blind and can’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine. I take 40 different medications that makes me dizzy, winded and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. I have poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can’t remember if I am 85 or 92. I have lost all of my friends.
But thank God, I still have my Washington States driver’s license.
Not to brag or anything but, I can forget what I am doing while I am doing it.
Old age is awkward. By the time you finally know everything, you start to forget everything you know.
Somedays, I look back on my life and I’m extremely impressed that I’m still alive.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, pull off to the side of the road.
I don’t do drugs and I don’t drink. At my age I can get the same effect by standing up to fast.
Hold on! If I have a suppository in my ear, I believe I know where my hearing aid is?
I’m getting to the age now where I’m afraid I may set off the alarm as I leave a museum.
This year, may you always get up off the couch in two tries or less.
My memory really sucks so I changed my password to incorrect. That way if I log in with the wrong password the computer will tell me “your password is incorrect.”
I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn’t have signed up in the first place!
One older fellow was saying to another, “When I was a boy, my mother would send me to the corner store with one dollar and I’d come back with five potatoes, two loaves of bread, a dozen eggs, a box of tea, and three bottles of milk. You can’t do that these days — too many security cameras.”
I asked my new girlfriend when her birthday was. She said March 1st, So I walked round the room and asked her again.
Why do old people always have trouble using technology? They didn't grow up with it. They had to use something called a pencil and paper.
A married couple were arguing about who should be making the morning coffee. The wife said, “In the Bible it says that men should make the coffee.” Her husband replies “Where in the Bible does it say that?” The wife opened the Bible and says, “Right here in He-brews!”
How old are leprechauns?
So old that they can remember when rainbows were black and white.
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.
Live life for today.
Look for a single moment of joy each day.
Pray for tomorrow.
Cherish your blessings.
And visit with your precious memories often.
Thank you for visiting.
Your Ballard High School Class of 1966 Reunion Committee.
