There are numerous advantages to aging:

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

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

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

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 without glasses.

10. You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.

11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

12. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.

13. You no longer think of speed limits as a "Dare".

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

15. You sing along with elevator music.

16. Your eyes won't get much worse.

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

18. You can't remember who posted this list.

Jackie,

Have no fear, you'll forget that you didn't like elevator music. Each time you get in, you'll remember it briefly 'til the next time. Each time, you'll get to decide that you don't like that music--that way passions don't build up! Think of it as a safety valve. Life does get kinder the older you get. In other ways it may not be a blessing--image each day getting up and re-discovering your wrinkles! Fortunately, you won't remember!!! Senility does have perks!!! New friends every day and discovering food you like can be a fun experience!

And you'll be so glad there IS an elevator so you don't have to walk up the stairs, you won't care about what music is or isn't playing.

I told someone the other day it has been a long time since someone said "no way" when I told them my age. It started again recently...they were either :nono: :nono: lying or this old age thing is not so bad :P

I like the list.

Whoever you are, this one hurts more than you know - WE spent last New Year's Eve at my sister's place, and by midnight, even the dog had gone to bed... Luckily, my wife had thought to set an alarm clock... One glass of punch, and back to bed...

This was one of our worst New Year's eve, with my nose and me looking like quasi moto (sp) but we did manage to stay up til 2. We came home from a party and then must have had a second wind and stayed up late. We don't go to be bed usually til after 1. Now you know why you don't see me early in the morning here.
Elevator music? I don't think so. :dunno:

Worse, you hear some elevator music and it makes you sentimental. Then you say :ohmy:
