OP
You know you are getting old when: It takes the barber longer to cut the hair in your nose and ears than the hair on your head You fit doctor visits into your weekly planner Gatsby cap looks good on you. (I call it a pork pie or golfer cap You keep trying to park closer to the grocery store entrance You think the prune juice aisle should be closer to the pharmacy counter More and more drivers give you the finger Your wife starts using Viagra ads as placemats You bring out the argyle socks Your grandchild says, let me carry that for you grandpa, and it’s only a dozen eggs You find all your favorite songs on the Oldies station You start getting brochures from the cemetery You start looking forward to SSA and the Golden Years (IMO they both suck) You buy a Cadillac Fleetwood and drive like a snail You pay all your bills on the first of every month You go to a class reunion and don’t recognize anyone You think the future is fuzzy but find out you have cataracts Your eyebrows get caught on your sunglasses

/chichigirl46: The word "fanny" in the UK, I think , has the same meaning as our Australian friends would use = not so much as what is "behind" but more to the "front" and in a female context. (?)

/chichigirl46: mentioned that I will be leaving for a while and the only reason being that I´m on the move (soon) to my new abode. My ISP could cut me off in my prime any day now though I´m not actually moving until the 26th April and to make things worse, I have no date (yet) for them to set me up with a new line. :(

You would think sitting back to back that we never talk to each other lol so hey /hobnobber: there will be another pause in your life, if you don´t get the meaning of " will you stop touching me" lol lol Cowboy Lore... After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring, until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you´re full of bull, keep your mouth shut. If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging. Never smack a man who´s chewing tobacco. Never kick a fresh cow pie on a hot day. Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut. Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you´re out of good whiskey. If you get to thinkin´ you´re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else´s dog around. Don´t worry about biting off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger than you think. Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. Always drink upstream from the herd. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter, don´t be suprised if they learn their lesson. There´s two theories about arguing with a woman. Neither one works. Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it in. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. A smart ass is always too big to fit in a saddle. Never squat with your spurs on.

At a nursing home in Miami, Florida, a group of Senior Citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments: "My arms are so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one. "Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can´t even see my coffee," replied another. "I can´t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a third, to which several nodded weakly in agreement. "My blood pressure pills make me dizzy," ... another went on. "I guess that´s the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head. Then there was a short moment of silence. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | V "Well, it´s not that bad," said one woman cheerfully. "Thank God we can all still drive."
