Observations on Growing Older ::::

~Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are perfect!

~Going out is good..
Coming home is better!

~When people say you look "Great"...they add "for your age!"

~When you needed the discount, you paid full price.
Now you get discounts on everything...
movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.

~You forget names .... but it's OKbecause other people forgotthey even knew you!!!

~The 5 pounds you wanted to loseis now 15 and you have a better chanceof losing your keys than the 15 pounds.

~You realize you're never goingto be really good at anything .... especially golf.

~Your spouse is counting on youto remember things you don't remember.

~The things you used to care to do,you no longer care to do,but you really do care that youdon't care to do them anymore.

~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chairwith the TV blaring than he does in bed.It's called his "pre-sleep".

~Remember when your mother said,
"Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"?
Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!

~You used to say,
"I hope my kids GET married...
Now, "I hope they STAY married!"

~You miss the days when everything workedwith just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..

~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem ....
were unheard of, and a mouse was somethingthat made you climb on a table.

~You used to use more 4 letter words ...
"what?"..."when?"... ???

~Now that you can affordexpensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~Your husband has a night out with the guys,
but he's home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P..M.

~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.

~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~Now that your husband has retired ...
you'd give anything if he'd find a job!

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ...
2 of which you will never wear.

~~~~But old is good in some things:
old songs,
old movies,
And best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

The good thing about growing older is ---Been there, donR that and glad I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ANY MORE!

It took me over 60 years to get my stuff together. Now I can't remember where I put it!

Thanks for the laugh. Also it seems that your entire body aches when you get up in the morning, but you didn't do anything while you slept???
