I've Sure Gotten Old

I've sure gotten old! 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 89 or 98.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.

Sounds like you are doing well clay.

Why not go for a drive, but don't get picked up for speeding.

hehe

You Know You're Getting Old When...



Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service.

Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

Your back goes out more than you do.

The twinkle in your eye is only the reflection of the sun on your bifocals.

You feel like the morning after when you haven't been anywhere the night before.

You finally got your head together, now your body is falling apart.

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

You wake up with that morning-after feeling and you didn't do anything the night before.

You don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.



Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion.

You can live without sex but not without glasses.

The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... have come back in style.

You look forward to a dull evening.

Your mind makes contracts your body can't keep.

The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

There's nothing left to learn the hard way.

You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

You look for your glasses for half-an-hour, then find they've been on your head all the time.

You begin every other sentence with, "Nowadays..."

You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't remember being on top of it.

Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.

The little gray-haired lady you help across the street is your wife.

Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

Your ears are hairier than your head.

You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.

It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.

The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.

You give up all your bad habits and you still don't feel good.

Your childhood toys are now in a museum.

You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television.

You confuse having a clear conscience with having a bad memory.

You frequently find yourself telling people what a loaf of bread USED to cost.

You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.

You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.

Your new easy chair has more options than your car.

Your little black book only contains names ending in M.D.

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.

You get into a heated argument about pension plans.

"Getting a little action" means you don't need to take a laxative.

You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

You realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

You don't remember being absentminded.

You have more patience; but actually, it's just that you don't care any more.

Your memory is shorter and your complaining is longer.

You read more and remember less.

Younger women start opening doors for you.



:)

Great stuff mate ..........these are very good ...............thanks ............

...

You get into a heated argument about pension plans.

...

Aint that the truth too .................. :lol: :lol:

I see that you are a fly fisherman.

My feeble attempts (after much backyard practice) are not good.

So far I have caught 3 dogs/18 trees/my own arm/the garage roof and no fish.

I have made some nice flies for fresh and salt.

What is the secret before a go back to lures and bait.?

Dave.
