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.
An today I turned 60 .......:o)
Timely indeed ..... Not much mileage but a bunch of sudden stops.
Stay safe !

22. Every day is Christmas when you find things you didn’t know you already have.
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.
..I listen to radio all the time and know quite a few of the newest songs
...being 60 means YOU KNOW A LOT about everything....and everything is in context..
..I still stare at rainbows and helicopters..
...I go to sporting events and I joke that I can out cheer people half my age and half my weight....
I still got it....still enjoying.....even with arthritis everywhere.....its all good...
the younger generations....well, many of them are pussies...real men are rare...they're shallow.....godless....I pity them...
Our local grocery stores and movie theaters begin senior discounts at 60.
A few more I’ve experienced:
In any given gathering, you are the oldest in the room.
You may be old but you are younger than the Beatles and the Stones.
You are older than the last 3 presidents and probably could have done a better job, had you been crazy enough to run and get elected.
On the newspaper’s list of famous people born on this date, you’re lucky if you recognize one of them.
On the newspaper’s list of famous events on this date, you were alive during many of them.
Watching Jeopardy, you know most of the answers but totally strike out on anything related to pop music.
You now pay more taxes annually than you earned annually in your 20s.
The ultimate best perk for me...NO MORE PERIODS!
21) - You can sit back and watch the country you once knew as the greatest in the world slide into ruin and know you’ll not have to live in it as it’s becoming for very long - and for the first time in your life you’re happy that you have no grandchildren, because they won’t have to live in the world as it’s going to be in just a few years......
You are now a prime target for gangs of feral black kids.
I’m almost 58, and I like telling people I was born back when we only had 48 stars on the flag. I can get swept away with some of that Doctor’s Office Music, because I know most the original songs note for note.
Means something different in CO and WA.
1. And when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So you have that going for you, which is nice.
I might add these to your list:
Your memory starts to go so you have to make lists of things to do, buy, or whatever, only to forget where you put the list. I know, put the lists on your iphone.
You reorganize your stuff, (i.e. a place for everything and everything in its place., like items together, etc.) so that you will be able to find it quickly when you need it. Then you completely forget where you put the stuff or you look for where it should be and it ain’t there. I know, see above.
You lose your glasses and you are wearing them.
Getting older can be very frustrating at times.
- depends now means more than undetermined
- you are now a prime target for the knockout game
- Ethel Mertz is starting to look good
- Ginger vs. Mary Ann ? ...nope..Lovey Howell
- trying to get out of the car
- parking by sound
- locked bathrooms
- low pressure..you never know when you are done
