You are getting old if...

 You are getting old if...

  • happy hour is your nap time.


  • the fire warden limits the number of candles on your birthday cake.


  • you remember when the Dead Sea was only sick.


  • your children look middle-aged.


  • Depends have replaced Speedos.


  • your mind makes contracts that your body can't keep.


  • you feel like the morning after, but you haven't been anywhere.


  • when walking, your feet make the same sounds as a bowl of Rice Krispies.

  • when hiking, vultures follow you

    .

    * you sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.

    * you need a GPS that tells you where you're going and why you're going there.


  • you're afraid to visit a museum because they might not let you leave.


  • the candles on your cake cost more than the cake.


  • your knees buckle, but your belt won't.


  • most of your underwear is older than your doctors.


  • it takes twice as long to look half as good.


  • the only females who pursue you are mosquitoes.


  • your back goes out more than you do.


  • people say, “You look good for your age.”


  • your idea of spending a night out is sitting on the patio.


  • there is nothing left to learn the hard way.


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


  • someone admires your turtleneck sweater, and then you realize you're not wearing one!


  • the only place you hear your favorite songs is in an elevator.


  • Your grandson asks if you voted for Lincoln. You say “yes.”



* Age is simply mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!

  4. Despite getting old, only one president during my lifetime has been younger than I am.
