Food for Thought!
As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world,


I realized that at my age I don't really give a rat's ass anymore.


.. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.


.. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat.


.. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while


.. A tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.


And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.


Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,


the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the


eyesight to tell the difference.


Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:


1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.



2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.


3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.


4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.


5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.


6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it ?


7. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.


8. Some days, you're the top dog; some days you're the hydrant.


9. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.


10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.


11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.


12. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.


13. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.


14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.


15. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.


16. It's not hard to meet expenses . . . they're everywhere.


17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.


18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . .I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".


19. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.


20. HAVE I SENT THIS MESSAGE TO YOU BEFORE..........?

Nothing you stated would I recommend to one of my grandchildren. No exercise? Really?

For some reason most of that seems to be true but for the life of me I can't remember why.

Very funny.Godless American, this is not to be taken as advice , just as a reminder of the obvious incongruities of our and other creatures' existence!

Misty Hollow, I to am taking u very serious. Especially 10 and 11!

Thanks, Misty Hollow. Every day I get a little closer to that pinnacle. Am enjoying every minute of it.

I really enjoyed that post. At 50 I see some of those same symptoms greeting me each day.

I liked that. A good laugh to start my day.

Anybody who doesn't think that is funny must not be old! Or maybe they're just absent minded.....Thanks for the day brightener.

Getting old is NOT for sissies. 105 year old neighbor lady said that years ago. Still true.

Have had a cold snap here in MN past few days. Really don't stand is well. But the temp is not actually all that cold. Monday night dropped to -28. So last night I stoked up both wood heaters. Temp went up during the night. Found myself sleeping with only a thin blanket, no socks and longies on the floor by the bed by this morning. Only -2 now.

Mooney - #11 wasn't all that easy as a hormone driven youth and now because of new car backseats and number 14, I don't think #11 is even a possibilty for me without the threat of injury and needing the jaws of life to extricate my beloved and me from the "wreckage". Thanks for THAT REMINDER, Misty Hollow.

Loved this!
