Then you get old - very quickly!!!!

#1
I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.
He turned to me and asked, “Are you having it catered?”
And that, my friend, is the sad definition of “OLD”.

#2
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to
the very elderly widow and asked,
“How old was your husband?”
“98,” she replied: “Two years older than me”
“So you’re 96,” the undertaker commented.
She responded, “Hardly worth going home, is it?”

Reporters 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.”

I’ve sure gotten old!
I have outlived my feet and my teeth,
I’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
New knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes I’m half blind,
Can’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
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, thank God,
I still have my driver’s license.

#5
I feel like my body has 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.

#6
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 Wal-Mart.
“Wal-Mart?” the preacher exclaimed.
“Why Wal-Mart?”
“Then I’ll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week.”

#7
My memory’s not as sharp as it used to be..
Also, my memory’s not as sharp as it used to be.

#8
Know how to prevent sagging?
Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

#9
It’s scary when you start making the same noises
As your coffee maker.

#10
These days about half the stuff
In my shopping cart says,
‘For fast relief.’

#11
THE SENILITY PRAYER:
Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.

On a beautiful Thanksgiving Day in the late 60s we were at my Uncle and Aunties house and the adults had been sipping beer all day and had a nice turkey on the rotisserie. After the bird was finished and we were all seated at the table, we bowed our heads and my dad told me to say grace. I was immediately struck with fear at the prospect of being totally unprepared to say the blessing or as he called it Grace. With eyes closed, and heads bowed, my mind was still reeling at the command of my father to bless the meal. I choked, I swallowed hard and I said said the word “Grace.” A few nervous giggles from my cousins were heard, and I looked at my dad and he was not happy.
