Getting Old

I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.

 

She turned to me and asked, 'Are you having it catered'?

 

And that, my friend,

 

is the definition of 'OLD'!

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker

 

came up to the very elderly widow and asked,

 

'How  old was your husband?'

 

'96,'  she replied: 'Two years younger than me'

 

'So  you're 98,' the undertaker commented.

 

She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, isn’t it?'

Reporters  interviewing a 104-year-old woman:

 

'And  what do you think is the best thing

 

about  being 104?' the reporter asked.

 

She  simply replied,

 

'No  peer pressure.'

I've sure gotten old!

 

I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,

 

new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes

 

I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,

 

take 40 different medications that

 

make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.

 

Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation;

 

hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

 

Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.

 

Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,

 

I still have my Florida driver's license.

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,

 

so I got my doctor's permission to

 

join a fitness club and start exercising.

 

I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.

 

I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour..

 

But, by the time I got my leotards on,

 

the class was over.

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and

 

told her preacher she had two final requests.

 

First, she wanted to be cremated, and second,

 

she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.

 

'Wal-Mart?'  the preacher exclaimed. 'Why Wal-Mart?'

 

'Then  I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week.'

My  memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

 

Also,  my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Know  how to prevent sagging?

 

Just  eat till the wrinkles fill out.

It's scary when you start making the same noises

 

as your coffee maker.

These days about half the stuff

 

in my shopping cart says,

 

'For  fast relief.'

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

 

I don't want to brag or make anyone jealous or anything, but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school
