An OLD friend sent me these.  If you are still a young'un, you will identify with this sooner than you think.

~Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are perfect! 

~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!

~When people say you look "Great"... they add "for your age!" 

~When you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now you get discounts on everything... movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them. 

~You forget names.... but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! 

~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds. 

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... especially golf. [or art, in my case] 

~Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember. 

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore. 

~Your spouse sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he or she does in bed.  It's called their "pre-sleep". 

~Remember when your mother said, "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? 
Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident! 

~You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married... Now, "I hope they STAY married!" 

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. 

~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem.... were unheard of, and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table 

~You tend to use more 4 letter words ...."what?"..."when?"... ??? 

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere. 

~Your husband/wife has a night out with the guys or gals but is home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P.M. 

~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it. 

~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! 

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots. 

~Everybody whispers.

 ~Now that your spouse has retired ...you'd give anything if he/she would find a job!

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ...2 of which you will never wear. 

old songs,   
old movies,   
And best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
