Perks of Getting Old

I assume it's because I am just days away from my 60th birthday that both my ex-wife and our daughter sent me this list, LOL! But, I did find it interesting and thought I would pass it along to you.

Perks of Getting Old

01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

03. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

04. People call at 9 PM and ask, did I wake you?

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

07. Things you buy now won't wear out.

08. You can eat supper at 4 PM .

09. 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.

  1. You can actually use the terms "ex-wife" and "LOL" in the same sentence and not be malicious about it. ;-)

  2. That's another perk of getting old. All the stuff that happened was long ago and far away from where I am now. I took a cue from the Lord's Prayer. I forgave them and just hope that they forgive me.
