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 OK because other people forgot they even knew
you!!!

~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of
losing your keys than the 15 pounds.


~Your spouse is counting on you to 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 you don't care to do them anymore.

~Your spouse sleeps better on a lounge chair with 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 miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF"
switch...

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

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

~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.

~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!!



Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and "New Friends!" and let them laugh
in AGREEMENT!!!
