    Growing Old

    I must be growing old Myself as I can't remember if I posted this before. It's still a good-un. Bill


    1.) Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the
    very
    elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied.
    "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented.
    She
    responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?


    2.) Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you
    think
    is
    the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply
    replied,
    "No peer pressure."

    3.) The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter
    eggs.

    4.) I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip
    replacement,
    new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes . I'm half blind, can't
    hear
    anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that
    make
    me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia.
    Have
    poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't
    remember
    if
    I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have
    my
    driver's license.

    5.) I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my
    doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I
    decided
    to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated,
    jumped
    up
    and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my
    leotards
    on,
    the class was over.

    6.) An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher
    she
    had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second,
    she
    wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher
    exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me
    twice
    a
    week "

    7.) My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not
    as
    sharp as it used to be.

    8.) Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

    9.) It's scary when you start making the same noises as your
    coffeemaker.

    10.) These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For
    fast
    relief."

    11.) Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow
    old
    because you stop laughing.

    They're all funny, but #4 is maybe a little too true (especially for Florida's other drivers) to be hilarious.

    #11 is so true...anybody see the huge medical study that discovered that the single best predictor of life expectancy is the individual's own prediction?

              As a senior member of the forum and soon to be 65, I resemble most of them.
              When the 4 grandchildern were still in diapers and I had to change them, I used to tell them, remember this you might have to do it for me some day.

                  That's why some of us can relate to #9. And remember if you are lucky you too will become an old fart. LOL
