THE PERKS OF BEING OVER 60 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 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 won't wear out. 8) You can eat dinner at 4 P.M. 9) You can live without sex but not without your glasses. 10) You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations. 11) You get into heated arguments about pension plans. 12) You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 13) You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. 14) You sing along with elevator music. 15) Your eyes won't get much worse. 16) Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 17) Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service. 18) Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. 19) Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size. 20) You can't remember the email where you saw this list.
Every time I think about stocking up on something, I realize I already have enough to last me the rest of my life. That is not meant to be so much amusing as true.
I identify with this.
Will be 67 in December.
Nothing left to learn the hard way... Got that one, fer sure.
I will be 69 In June here. Lord willing.

Timely indeed ..... Not much mileage but a bunch of sudden stops.
Stay safe !

not if you are constantly trying new stuff. like how to clone Win 7 using sysprep without corrupting the bcd store.
62 last Feb.
21. People will format FR posts for you.
Yeah, it should be: “There’s nothing left to learn the hard way except what you choose.”
And it IS harder to learn than when I was younger- have to literally beat new things into my head,
22. Every day is Christmas when you find things you didn’t know you already have.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!
Enjoy your day
Funny stuff. Thanks for posting. Yes, I too am over sixty. I think it was Hemingway who said, never pick a fight with an old guy, because he’ll probably just up and shoot you. Well, that quote could be apocryphal. I couldn’t find it anywhere. But as a sixty year old, it makes sense to me.
LOL!
I am 60 and a half. I was eighteen when Alice Cooper sang, “I’m Eighteen!”. (And so were you.) Happy Birthday!
