perks for those over 50
« on: January 26, 2011, 09:29:56 PM »


Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too.  Don't laugh... it is all true...

Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70 or 80 plus:

01.  Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

  02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 

  03. No one expects you to run -- anywhere.

  04. People call at 9 pm and ask, "did I wake you?"

  05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

  06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

  07. Things you buy now won't wear out

08.  You can eat supper at 4 pm.

  09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

  10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

  11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

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

  13.  You sing along with elevator music.

  14. Your eyes won't get much worse.

  15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
  16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather bureau.

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

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

  19. You can't remember who sent you this list.

  And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience. 

  Forward this to everyone you can remember right now!

  And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

 

         "Bravery is being the only one that knows you are afraid!"

  Does this belong in the humor section? :-\.  It sure isn't funny because it is all so true. :(  ;D

Gun Runner:  I am afraid that you might be the first guy the hostage taker would shoot in the interest of Risk Management; you have that Been-There-Done-That look in your eyes.

Siskiyou, You know what I carry under my shirt, I would probably wind up shooting them first cause I was trying to get to breakfast with you.   ::)
