View Full Version : Getting old

I felt like my body had gotten totally out of shape, so I
got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I
decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated,
jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But by the time I got my
leotards on, the class was over.

----------

A reporter interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do
you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked.

She simply replied, "No peer pressure."

----------

The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.

----------

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to
the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your
husband?"

"Ninety-eight," she replied. "Two years older than I am."

"So you're 96," the undertaker commented.

She responded, "Hardly worth going home, isn't it?"

----------

I've sure gotten old. I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, and
new knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear
anything quieter than a jet engine, and take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember
if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thankfully, I still have my
driver's license.

----------

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had
two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted
her ashes scattered over K-Mart. "K-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why
K-Mart?"

"Then I'll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week."

----------

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as
it used to be.

----------

Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up.

And the shorter your arms.

Something seems to have you all-a-twitter Brendan, or are you getting to be a bird brain in your old age?

Getting old's no fun, but it beats the alternative.

Pam & I gave up smoking June 29 1986 (midnight) after years of 20-a-day or a few more if we were out partying etc... We nearly killed each other but survived. I was crook for months, coughing up crap. Now I don't pat my pockets checking for lighter and smokes every time I stand up...

That whiskey is good for the hip Sheddie. I'm told it is turbo-ised if you take anti-histamines with it.... :D :D :D (which is not generally recommended) BIL has had 2 x replacements and he knows.

SWMBO never did smoke. I gave up the habit December of 1966.

The first week or so was H***

5 years later, I FINALLY didn't miss smoking

10 years later, I didn't want a cigarette after dinner

15 years later, I didn't want to sit in the smoking section of airplanes

20 years later, I no longer wanted a cigarette

25 years later, being down wind of a smoker was really anoying

30 years later, being in an elevator with someone who had just smoked outside was unbearable

It has been 40 years since I quit! Yes, DAMN IT, I QUIT!

Nicotine, the most addicitive substance on earth!

You have all got it wrong!!!
The sign of old age is when you sit in your rocking chair and cannot get it started.
