Thoughts on getting older
# Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
# The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
# You feel like the 'morning after' and you haven't been anywhere the night before.
# Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
# Your children begin to look middle aged.
# You reach the top of the ladder and find it leaning against the wrong wall.
# Your mind makes contracts your body can't meet.
# You look forward to a dull evening.
# You turn out lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.
# You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
# Your knees buckle and your belt won't.
# You regret all those mistakes you made, especially resisting temptation.
# Your back goes out more than you do.
# You have too much room in the house and not enough room in the medicine cabinet.
# You know all the answers but nobody asks you any questions.
# You no longer grit your teeth at night, because you don't sleep in the same room as they do.
# When you see your reflection, you wonder why the old person is staring at you.
# The candles at your bithday party cost more than the cake.
# By law, a fire extinguisher must be present, when they light your candles.
# You are older than your doctor.
# Joints that were soft, stay stiff, muscles that got stiff, now stay soft.
I think I'm just going stay young forever. How about you :?:

Normally I would poo! hoo! the idea of getting old,but after spending the night and today with 'Arther' feel older than my mum and dad.Knew I had too good a day yesterday!! Was even too tired to throw any strops! Took a p/k at 2am,knowing it would react and it did,so felt like rubbish all day.Hope everyone else had a better day.Mirabella.0
