PERKS OF BEING OVER 50

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 P.M.. !

9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.

11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

12. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

13. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

14. You sing along with elevator music.

15. Your eyes won't get much worse.

16. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

17. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

18. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

19. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

20. You can't remember who sent you this list.

And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

One of my friends just sent me this...........I thought it fit in nicely with this thread

Senior Exercises
The Doc told me to start an exercise program.
Not wanting to harm this old body, I've devised the following:

Monday
Beat around the bush
Jump to conclusions
Climb the walls
Wade through the morning paper

Tuesday
Drag my heels
Push my luck
Make mountains out of mole hills
Hit the nail on the head

Wednesday
Bend over backwards
Jump on the Band Wagon
Run around in circles

Thursday
Advise President Bush on how to run the country..
Toot my own horn..
Pull out all the stops..
Add fuel to the fire..

Friday
Open a can of worms..
Put my foot in my mouth..
Start the ball rolling..
Go over the edge..

Saturday
Pick up the pieces..

Sunday
Kneel in prayer..
Bow my head in thanksgiving..
Uplift my hands in praise..
Hug someone and encourage them..

What a Workout!

Have a Nice Week!

I think we should find something about hitting 60-- that would make it a little more of a stretch for me

I just turned 50!

From someone slightly on the otherside of 50, that's still funny!

Heard JB from a few years ago, "56 and still kickin' ass!!!"

(Me too

I was looking for my reading glasses the other day and a co-worker pointed out that I had them on...
