Perks of Old Age.. !!!

[citizenB]

Not quite sure if my friend intended to cheer me up with this email.. Well it didnt work !!

At the root of every gray hair, there is a dead brain cell. 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 beyond!

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

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

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

4. People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM) 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 will never wear out.

8. You can eat supper at 4 PM.

9. 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 service.

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 a manageable size.

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

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:

Never, NEVER, NEVER ,

Under any circumstances,

Take a sleeping pill and a laxative on

The same night!

I can talk to young men, and they don't think I am trying to chat them up.

As a woman, no-one expects me to be glamorous any more

I can have that second slice of cake

My husband can't see me in focus first thing in the morning - he needs his glasses
