Observations on growing older

[starone]

~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 spouse sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he or she does in bed. It's called their "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 tend 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/wife has a night out with the guys or gals but is 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 spouse has retired... You'd give anything if he/she would 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!!!
