As you get older life sucks. As a kid I always wanted to get older fast lol. Things were better back then. Now it's just bills bills and more bills.

Past 35 you are starting to look road weary, and aside from family and friends. Everyone else, especially local, state, and federal bureaucrats sees you as the source of their money until you die. Age and wisdom is supposed to mean you have more to tax from their perspective. Even if you were very stupid when you were younger, at least no one can take those memories away from you under the color of law.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Maybe so, but we love you more because of it.

Rust never sleeps.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Getting my vasectomy was one of the best investments i've ever made.

How much did you pay?

Apparently if you stand on a bible it has the same effect.

So many answers! Where do I start?

I found this timely, because today I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses. A young lady walks over to me and asks, "What brings you in today?" I looked at her, and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator.”  She didn't quite know how to respond. Am I getting to be that age?
   
I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So I'm wearing my garage door opener.
   
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.
   
I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age and calling it 'Pumping Rust.'
   
When people see a cat's litter box they always say, “Oh, have you got a cat?” Just once I want to say, “No, it's for company!”
   
Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency.  I always think I should write, 'An ambulance.'
   
The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
   
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
   
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are   XL.
   
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words '   The'       and '   IRS   ' together it spells       'Theirs...'
   
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
   
Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
   
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
   
Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.

You will regret more the things you did not do, rather than the things you did do.

Funally, someone gets it! This is life.
Everyone has to get older, but no one has to get old.
