The Perks of being over Fifty....
« on: May 19, 2007, 01:14:43 AM »
PERKS OF BEING OVER 50 If you are not over 50, this is what you have to look forward to.
 

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

And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience. Well could have been... damm I knew how to do this before....
 
:cool:

Where's my damm seeing eye dog?  If I had a Friesbee I'd find him...

That one is soooo untrue. I don`t think it is humanly possible to live without knockin` boots. :)

This one is true enough though.

Those are fun, but like most things, all don't apply to all the eligibles.  Sometimes it's surprising how important this word is to everything including aging:

One of my friends (as well as relative) was a lively person. He had an eye for the women, could drink anybody under the table, wore no glasses, had twisted humour and a lot of brain, and had recently made a hole in one, once I visited him, as well as flying an ultralight. He was almost 80 at the time....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
