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 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
Thanks for sharing Pam!
Update:
And Thanks to Ye Old Teacher here is an added one!
20. You hope to retire before you expire!
The Week In A Nutshell!
This is what happens when you spend a week with your 70 year old Grandma! You both sit and cut out paper dolls!
No seriously the girls have returned home. Jasmine went home on Friday and Courtney on Sunday. Now all that is left are some uneaten frosted cookies and some great memories.
I have now completed the glaucoma treatment on both eyes and today I have the left one checked for pressure. So far the ‘Momma’s turn to get healthy’ is going well.
This weekend Jasmine and brother Dakota will will be back up until Sunday. Zimby is coming with them. That is their Lhasa.
Courtney will be celebrating her 15th birthday on the 13th. Sweet thing and Dave will have a wedding anniversary on the 24th and the Evil One will be 38 on the 25th. Time sure flies when you aren’t looking around!!
