Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!


01. Kidnappers are not very 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 5 PM.

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

10. You get into heated 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.

Forward this to everyone you can remember right now!


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

A lot of those are true. Sadly.

The worst part is that internally, I feel just like I did 30 years ago but my body just won't cooperate. And my parents say that feeling only gets worse as you get even older

The best part is we are getting alot of discounts because my wife is over 55.

#13 is a good one

My dad, being one heading towards 70, fits a lot of those. Though #8 fits me, and I'm only 33.

I can tell if it's going to rain sometimes by the pressure in my knee. I always thought that was made up too. And playing Basketball, there's what I intended to do and what my body actually does.

i busted an ankle playing ball and it hurts like the devil when it is going to rain.

I sprained my ankle when I was 16 and now every time the temp gets below 20 degrees my ankle stiffens up and hurts. So basically, my ankle acts like a thermometer.

Not anywhere near 50, yet I have a bad wrist that acts up when the weather gets colder.

Just wait, it gets better (worse).

I've recently discovered my family's history with arthritis. And I need my fingers to work well to perform my job. Pretty hard to update data to fix a problem if your fingers don't work right.

My dad is VERY much like that. My mom is somewhat, but to a much lesser extent.
