Perks of reaching 60 or beings over 70 and leading towards 80!

Perks of reaching 60 or beings over 70 and leading towards 80!

As my friends and I surge forward in age, we like to keep a good sense of humor so we can laugh at life. Enjoy

If you are in your 60's or 70's or fast approaching your 80's think about these

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.

3. You have a hard time locating the keys in your pocket and finding your cell phone when it rings, but you can find the snooze button from four feet away with your eyes closed.

4. When the oxygen masks drop from the ceiling your birthday candles are already Lit

5. You hear your favorite songs in an elevator.

6. You start lying about your children’s ages.

7. You spot that first gray hair on your kid.

8. You still got it, but don’t know what to do with it.

9. You see a cute guy or gal and start to calculate if you could be his or her mom or dad

10. You keep some people’s numbers just so you know not to answer.

11. You’re told to slow down by your doctor and not the police.

12. You go to the beach and turn a wonderful color: Blue. It’s from holding your stomach in.

13. People go out of their way to tell you how good you look.

14. Almost everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work.

15. The candles on your birthday cake cost more than the cake.

16. You tell people you are retro.

17. You eat supper at 5 p.m.

18. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

19. People call at 8 PM and ask: "Did I wake you? “

20. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

21. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

22. Things you buy now will not wear out.

23. You can eat supper at 5 PM.

24. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

25. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

26. You can't remember who sent you this list.

27. And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

And remember, Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night!

Many a true word written (spoken) in jest. This 75 year old can relate to many of the above.
