\nDear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nMy vision started going after age 45. I can’t read a watch anymore- the numbers are too small and I can’t hold my arm far enough away from my face to see it! <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nNot only am I sad to retire my many fine novelty watches- Mickey Mouse, Bart Simpson, dozens of Swatches- but I also feel nervous about time measurement. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nI’m not (yet) willing to go Flava Flav, are there any other options for me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nLove,
\nOlder But On Time<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dear O.B.O.T.,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nI’m so happy to hear that you’re not willing to wear a full-sized wall clock around you neck. That indicates that while you’re open to creative solutions, you still have your wits about you. Flava Flave’s reality-TV comeback was really dangerous to both our impressionable youth and older loved ones. I had to stop my grampa from having a gold grill made for god’s sake! It’s a cultural sickness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nI recommend using your cell phone, a digital watch, or a time piece that speaks the time. You can still wear your novelty watches for fashion, but use a practical method to actually tell time. After all, warm weather doesn’t stop Floridians from wearing their Looney Toons jackets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSincerely,
\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
