are those who hunger and thirst, for they
are sticking to their diet.
Life is an
endless struggle full of frustrations and
challenges, but eventually you find a hair
stylist you like.
Perhaps
you know why women over sixty don't have babies.
They would put them down somewhere and forget
where they left them.
One
of life's mysteries is how a two pound box
of candy can make a woman gain five pounds.
I finally
got my head together and my body fell apart.
Time
may be a great healer but it's also a lousy
beautician.
Brain
cells come and go but fat cells live forever.
Life
not only begins at forty, it begins to show.
Just
when I was getting used to yesterday, along
came today.
You
don't stop laughing because you grow old;
you grow old because you stop laughing.
Amazing!
You just hang something in your closet for
a while and it shrinks two sizes.
Age
is important only if you're cheese and wine.
The
only time a woman wishes that she were a year
older is when she is expecting a baby.
Old folks are worth a fortune--with silver
in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones
in their kidneys, lead in their feet, and
gas in their stomachs.
I have
become a lot more social with the passing
of years. Some might even call me a frivolous
old gal. I am seeing five gentlemen a day!
As soon
as I wake, Will Power helps me get out of
bed. Then I go see John.
Then
Charley Horse comes along, and when he is
here, he takes a lot of my time and attention.
When
he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up and stays
the rest of the day.
(He
doesn't like to stay in one place very long,
so he takes me from joint to joint.)
After
such a busy day, I'm really tired and glad
to go to bed - with Ben Gay. What a life!
P.S.
The Preacher came to call the other day. He
said at my age I should be thinking about
the hereafter. I told him I do all the time.
No matter where I am - in the parlor, upstairs
in the bedroom, or down in the basement -
I ask myself, "Now what am I here after?"
You
know you're getting old when
You
and your teeth don't sleep together.
You
try to straighten out the wrinkles in your
socks and discover you aren't wearing any.
At
the breakfast table, you hear snap, crackle,
pop and you're not eating cereal.
When
you wake up looking like your driver's license
picture.
It
takes two tries to get up from the couch.
(Love this one!)
When
your idea of a night out is sitting on the
patio.
When
happy hour is a nap.
When
you're on vacation and your ENERGY runs out
before your money does.
When
all you want for your birthday is to not be
reminded of your age.
When
you step off a curb and look down one more
time to make sure the street is still there.
Your
idea of weight lifting is standing up.
It
takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
Your
address book has mostly names that start with
Dr.
You
sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
The
pharmacist has become your new best friend.
Getting
"lucky" means you found your car
in the parking lot.
The
twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection
from the sun on your bifocals.
It
takes twice as long - to look half as good.
Everything
hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.
You
look for your glasses for half an hour and
they were on your head the whole time.
You
have more patience, but it is actually that
you just don't care anymore.
You
wonder how you could be over the hill when
you don't even remember being on top of it.
Your
back goes out but you stay home.
If
you're too open minded, your brains will fall
out.
Age
is a very high price to pay for maturity
Before
you criticize someone, walk a mile in his
shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he'll be
a mile away - and barefoot.
Going
to church doesn't make you a Christian any
more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic.
Artificial
intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
A clear
conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
A closed
mouth gathers no feet.
If you
must choose between two evils, pick the one
you've never tried before.
My idea
of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
Not
one shred of evidence supports the notion
that life is serious.
It is
easier to get forgiveness than permission.
I have
found at my age going bra-less pulls all the
wrinkles out of my face.
For
every action, there is an equal and opposite
government program.
If you
look like your passport picture, you probably
need the trip.
Always
yield to temptation, because it may not pass
your way again.
Bills
travel through the mail at twice the speed
of checks.
A conscience
is what hurts when all your other parts feel
so good.

well, stay fit, die anyway.
Men
are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal
with it.
No husband
has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
