Perks of reaching 60 or being over 70 and heading towards 80!



01.Kidnappers are not interested in you.


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


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


04. People call at 9 pm and ask,"Did I wake you?"


05.People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.


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


07.Things you buy now won't wear out.

 
08. You can eat supper at 4 pm.


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

 
10. You get into arguments about pension plans.

 
11.You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.


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


13.You sing along with elevator music.


14.Your eyes won't get much worse.


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


16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.


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


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


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


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

You only need one book or movie because you can't remember what you read or watched.

That is SO funny!!!  Because it is SO true!!!   

I used to hate watching a movie twice.  Now it is totally entertaining every time I watch it!   

I speak from experience.

21.  What I used to be able to do all night, now takes me all night to do.

Isn't that the truth. Little things like falling off a step stool are no longer funny, it's life threatening.

#13 about singing along with elevator music really stung. I started doing that in the 60s.

Quote18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

I survived the 70s. Gee, this list sure sounds....OLD!
