Rep Power: 500 | | Oh well..... Don't laugh.....it is all true... Perks of reaching 40 or being over 50 and heading towards 60! 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 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 manageable size. 19.You can't remember who sent you this list. And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience. PEACE | | The Following 7 Users Say Thank You to jangel For This Useful Post: | |

I think I have one or two brain cells rattling around in here, somewhere.
Did someone mention sex? I have to get this hearing aid fixed.

hmmm...25 and six of them pertain to me...well...thats what happens when i work with and around older people. In regards to age and flowering period, maybe we can call children sprouts, teens and pre-middle age vegging, people preparing for retirement 12/12 (to retire or not) and retired people as harvested??? I think i'm still high?
