Observations on Growning Older

~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 okay 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 husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he does in bed. It's called his "pre-sleep."


~Remember when your mother said, "Wear clean under-wear 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 you say, "I hope they STAY married!"


~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.


~When GOOGLE, ipod, e-mail, modem ... were unheard of, and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.

~You used to use more four-letter words like "what" ... "when" ... ???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~Your husband has a night out with the guys, but he's 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 already!

~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.


~Everybody whispers.


~Now that your husband has retired ... you'd give anything if he'd find a job!


~You have three sizes of clothes in your closet ... two of which you will never wear, again!
~ But old is good in some things: old songs, old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
