On Growing Older

I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.
She turned to me and asked, “Are you having it catered”?
And that, my friend, Is the definition of OLD!

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very
elderly widow and asked, “How old was your husband?”
“96,” she replied: “Two years younger than me.”
“So you're 98,” the undertaker commented.
She responded, “Hardly worth going home, isn’t it?”

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

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. I have bouts with dementia, have
poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Cannot
remember if I'm 85 or 92 and have lost all my friends.
But, thank God, I still have my Florida driver's license.

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.

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.”

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat til the wrinkles fill out.
~~~~~~~

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.

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

THE SENILITY PRAYER:

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.
~~~~~~~

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
I don't want to brag or make anyone jealous or anything,
but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.
