Ann Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Benefits of Getting Older In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. It's harder and harder for sexual harassment charges to stick. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. No one expects you to run into a burning building. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. There's nothing left to learn the hard way. Things you buy now won't wear out. You can eat dinner at 4 p.m. You can live without sex but not without glasses. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations. You got cable for the weather channel. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it. You can sing along with the elevator music. When you talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn. Your eyes won't get much worse. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.

Ann Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Right, Ginny...way too many things are true...lol! I can remember when I would hear people talk about the weather affecting their aches and pains. At the time, I thought that was ricidulous. Now...I'm a believer!
