A cute item for today:  You are getting older because when your financial planner suggested that you donate your body to science, you didn't realize he meant immediately.

You know you are getting older because you can't remember anyone's name anymore ( Yup I can relate to that one  lol ).

If chess i supposed to help my mental functions, why can’t i remember what i went into the other room for? Or where i left my keys. Hey, maybe that’s what i went into the other room for. I’m not sure.

Have you done the "where are my glasses" thing? (Hint: they're perched on top of your head.)

Oh yes I got my first glasses around 1966 and it has been hide and seek all these years, also my key pouch is trying to run away too  lol.

As an older person you didn't know what latte was until you were fourty-five.

As an older person, it was always home brew, not "craft beer."

As  an older person home made wine gave you mega hangovers but your friends loved your parties.

Yep people are getting older and they can't decide whether to replace their personal trainer or replace one of their hips.

When we were young we’d make up excuses to get out of the house, stay up late and party. Now, we make up excuses to get out of going to parties, stay home, and be in bed by 8:00 pm.

Thanks for the posts. Yes I do enjoy sleeping  lol.

When we were young, a nap was punishment. Now a nap is like a mini-vacation! (Read that somewhere but it’s true) of course with fewer days ahead, missing even a couple hours seems to be a dilemma as well.

Just love my naps!
