Observations on Growing Older

~Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are perfect!

~Going out is good. Coming home is better!

~When people say you look "Great"...they add "for your age!"

~When you needed the discount you paid full price. Now you get discounts on everything...movies, hotels, flights.

~You forget names...but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!

~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything... especially golf.

~Your husband is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.

~The things you cared to do, you don't care to do, but you care that you don't care to do them anymore.

~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring then he does in bed. It's called his "pre-sleep."

~Remember when your mother said "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!

~You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married...Now, "I hope they STAY married!"

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.

~When GOOGLE, iPod, email, modem...were unheard of and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.

~You use more 4 letter words ..."what?"..."when?" ???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~Your husband has a night out with the guys but he's home by 9:00 P.M ...next week it will be 8:30 P.M.

~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.

~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless?"

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~Now that your husband has retired...you'd give anything if he'd find a job!

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet....2 of which you will never wear.

~~~~But old is good in some things: old songs, old movies…

And best of all OLD FRIENDS!!

All good! I laughed (even though I've seen them before). The one about the 15 pounds fits me to a Tee!!

Your best yet! Where do you get this stuff?
Not long ago I read almost a whole novel before I realized I had read it before.

Hi, I’m 53 years old, and I was using computers before many of today’s thirtysomethings were out of elementary school. For me, being old doesn't mean that you will not going to explore today's technology.

I couldn't help but smile on this. It's actually cute. My 70 years old granny always ask me to teach her on how to use the computer so she can send mail to her grandchildren from the other side of the world. I said, you don't need that there's already Facebook. You get more updated with your grandchildren's pictures and what they are doing.
