    Default 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.

    The older you get, the further away the floor.

    thats what I said at 51....now = diabetes, riddled with bloody arthritis, going blind in 1 eye, deaf in right ear, chronic hip pain (prolly means a replacement), seized left ankle, severe depression (pills for rest of life), chronic sinusitis, 2 useless arms.
    Big change in 5 years. It all went downhill when I gave up smoking.. you work it out...

    You're probably right Al. I keep trying to convince myself that its the 35 years sucking the things into my lungs thats done it but I can breathe wonderfully. Fat lot of good healthy lungs are when the rest is stuffed. I'm gonna have a damn whisky..
