The Age Thing

[ My birthday is coming up and by the numbers, I'll be much older than I look or feel. These still made me chuckle so I'm inflicting them on you. ]

Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Don't let anyone tell you you're getting old. Squash their toes with your rocker.

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Maturity means being emotionally and mentally healthy, it is that time when

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

The golden years are really metallic years, gold in the tooth, silver in your hair and most of all lead in the pants..

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It is more often a succession of jerks.

Yeah; being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled, and bald they don't recognize you

If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

First you forget names, then you forget faces....Then you forget to pull up your zipper, then ....... oh my goodness you
forget to pull your zipper down!!!!!!

Nothing! They cut back all fun stuff at work. I'll get a bunch of my co-workers to go out for lunch though. smile

Maybe I'll pick up muffins one morning too.

Four days to go. Well hopefully I remember to frequent the site then - I'm terrible about remembering birthdays.


A very insightful post, hadn't though of it that way before.
