After the birthday Perks

Reasons to be thankful for reaching the over 70 age group (gleaned from internet funnies):

1. Kidnappers are unlikely to be interested in me.

2. In a hostage situation I will probably be released first.

3. No one expects me to run-anywhere

4. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"

5. People no longer view me as a hypochondriac.

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

7. Things I buy now won't wear out.

8. I eat supper at 4 p.m. and no one thinks it's strange.

9. I get into heated arguments about pension plans.

10. I no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

11. I don't hold my stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

12. I sing along with elevator music.

13. My eyes won't get much worse. (I hope)

14. My investment in health insurance is fnally paying off.

15.My joints are more accurate meteorologists than the National Weather Service.

16. My secrets are safe with my friends because they can't remember them either.

17. And my supply of brain cells is finally down to normal size.

Might as well smile about getting older. The alternative is dying, and who wants to hurry that along? Not me.

Hope my eyes never get as bad as the lady in the cartoon.
