    Hilarious ... LOL. One thing: I can't figure out what else you could do down there. Pick up debris?
    Perhaps you will tie someone elses shoe? Scrape gum with a pocket knife. Hmmmm? Whatever you made my day.
    I'm all messed up today. Real bad.

    .........when your dreams are dry and your farts are wet.

    when everything works just like it used to but you forget what for.

    Poppy3

    shame - it seems the desire goes too!!!

    You go to the store and ask the clerk where are the transistor radios? And the kid looks at you like you are speaking another language.

    To go from one room to another, to get some thing, by time you get there, have forgotten, what we looking for..

    When you ask the grocery teller how much three times.

    Poppy3

    Or leave your card in the shop or the cash machine.

    Your back gets stiffer than your.........

    daren1 - downstairs for dancing too.

    you are getting old,when you find that ,the crusty chease roll you are eating,is to hard to chew,and reolize you have the wifes false teeth in by mistake,

    When you do not have to turn around in the street to see if the guy is still looking at you. Also Oh My when someone offers you a seat on the bus or tube. Polite but a good feeling NOT.

    When, all of a sudden  you HAVE to start using reading glasses for smaller print at age 48, when all your life prior to that  you had  20/10 vision,  not 20/20, but better than that and took it for granted that you could see THE smallest print clearly!!  And now you can't!!  :-(

    michmar118 - hate to say the magnifying glass comes next with me anyway - funny there was a joke in a Christmas cracker with the salary written of a man - question was how do you make this a larger sum and who got the answer me - a magnifying glass.

    Here are some ideas,


    It takes you longer to rest,  than it does to get tired.


    Everything hurts, what does not  hurt, does not  work.


    Candles cost more than the cake.


    You burn the midnight oil  till 9 pm.


    You confuse having clear conscience with bad memory,


    you feel like the morning after, even though you have not been out night before.


    You find yourself standing in line, and do not know why.

    You in a hurry to mail something at the post office before 5:00.  You stop to get some gas first.  Post office is only 2 blocks away from the gas station.  You go in Rotton Robbins and pay for your gas.  You run back out to your truck, jump in and drive off.  No gas.  You get in the post office and it occurs to you what you did.  You run back to gas station and luckily nobody got your gas that you paid for.  How old is that Tabber.

    Tommyh

    Yep,you're gettin' it bad Tabs.LOL
    tabber

    Tommyh that's why i'm happy every day i open my eyes. I have seen the mountain top.

    I know I'm getting old cause, when you've got to sit down for a leak , or you'll miss the pot.

    josie111 - Animals of the highest intelligence - Apes and Chimps - go on playing. Dolphins also of extremely high intelligence go on and on playing - this is how animals learn.To have a high child in your personality profile is good - lots of imagination and make good artists.

    when you fart dust h


     

    facebook

    Is that why my house is always dusty?

    ... you keep telling kids that they sound like a "broken record" (i.e., they keep repeating the same **** over and over), and they respond, "What is a record?"

    Poppy3

    Clonge - tell them it's the same tune - and it is playing over and over.

    When it takes you a half an hour to get out of bed in the morning. Not because you're tired, but because your bones ache.

    Tommyh

    Ooo yeah!
    Poppy3

    Also takes over an hour to get your act together.
    leeroy

    Lol... I'm switching from coffee to five hour energy, maybe that will get things moving faster in the a.m.

    College kids look like high school kids, high school kids look like middle school kids, and so on and so forth.

    I am getting old when I try to scratch my ear and stick my finger in my eye. Ha

    When it takes a man all night get done with   what he used to do allnight.

    dopey, I feel it is a reaction to stress. As we get older, stress affects us more so than younger people. I have finally learned , when stressed out about something, to deep breathe. Breathe in through your nose and push your tummy out, not in and hold as long as you can and then slowly exhale with your mouth open. Do that at least three times. It workes wonders for me.

    Poppy3

    Ann as you have probably seen - I've had no internet. You are so right and so very kind of you to comment - I have so much stress at the moment it is difficult to endure.

    You know when you are getting old when policemen and Doctors look really young!

    Poppy3

    My last Doctor was in his thirties - but his skills were those of a nine year old. I have this problem now there are six flats in this house and the other five are all inhabited by 30 something and they behave like nine year olds no respect for anyone except themselves and sooooo irresponsible.
    melandrupert

    dopey how true is that! xxx

    When your kid starts laughing at the sounds you make geting out of a chair and starting to walk across the room.

    Places on your body go "SOUTH" for the winter and stay south!

    Tommyh

    That's the sad part.You know they ain't comin'back.LOL
    doolittle

    LOL!!! Nope...And because they are south they seem to wrinkle and shrivel up in size...oh well.

    Tell me, Too raw was it ?

    Getting all the AARP garbage in the mail.

    When a beautiful girl rides past on a bycle and I think." wow thats a nice bike"
