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.


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


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


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


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


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


~Now that you can afford expensive 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!!

[Horus]

Very true, very true

[JOJO]

So true LLL.
I'm feeling sorry for myself at the mo as I will be 40 in the next few weeks It's not that I see 40 as being old it's just that 40 had always seemed such a long long way away and something that happened to everybody else!

[Horus]

And may I be the first to tell you that after 40 it is all downhill after that

[Jayway]

YES Horus, I second that - - As my descent into antiquity is well established, now I am eagerly awaiting my second childhood - - :nod: :rut:

[LovelyLadyLux]

I'd die to be facing 40 again! :):):):) Seems a long long time ago, a faint blurry memory......

[Horus]

Good grief, I must get my eyes tested I thought that you had written:

now I am eagerly awaiting my second child
