Perks of getting older
« on: January 21, 2014, 09:02:35 AM »
 
 

Perks of reaching 50
or being over 60
And heading towards
70 or beyond!

1.
Kidnappers are not very
interested in you.

2.
In a hostage situation,
you are likely to be released first.

3.
No one expects you to run  --
anywhere.

4.
People call at 9 PM (or 9  A M) and ask,
  'Did I wake you?

5.
People no longer view you as a
hypochondriac.

6.
There is nothing left
to learn the hard way.

7.
Things you buy now
won't wear out.

8.
You can eat
supper at 4 PM.

9...
You can live without sex
but not your glasses.

10.
You get into heated arguments
about pension plans.

11.
You no longer think of speed limits
as a challenge.

12.
You quit trying to hold
your stomach in no matter
who walks into the room.

13.
You sing along
with elevator music.

14.
Your eyes won't get
much worse.

15.
Your investment in health insurance
  is finally beginning to pay off.

16.
Your joints are more  accurate
meteorologists
than the national weather service.

17.
Your secrets are safe with your
friends  because they can't
remember them either.

18.
Your supply of brain cells is finally
down to  a manageable size.

19.
You can't remember
who sent you this list.


And you notice these are all
in big print
for your convenience.


Forward this to everyone
you can remember
right now!

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Never, NEVER, NEVER,
under any circumstances,
take a sleeping pill, and
a laxative on the same night!

Thanks Rosie.  I already practise most of those and am still smart enough to keep my laxatives and sleeping pills well separated.
You failed the BIG PRINT test and I had to use  <control> +   to read it.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Not so much funny as it is very true.    :grin

I will pass this onto my wife who looks after a group of oldies.
