For those of you over a certain age...Enjoy!
For those who are a lot younger....Just read and see what you have to look forward to....lol!
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.
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."
The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?
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 driver's license.
A 97-year-old man goes into his doctor's office and says, "Doc, I want my sex drive lowered." "Sir," replied the doctor, "you're 97....don't you think your sex drive is all in your head?" "You're damned right it is!" replied the old man. "That's why I want it lowered!"
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.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.
The good news is that even as we get older, guys still look at our boobs. The bad news is they have to squat down first.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief."
I've tried to find a suitable exercise video for women my age, but they haven't made one called "Buns of Putty."
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches.
Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up!
Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing.
THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

I haven't had trouble with Blogger today, though I've been out to church and haven't tried to post anything since last night. If I knew more about the technical part of this I would probably try to move to WordPress, but I don't have the expertise and scare very easily.- Sunday, October 29, 2006 at 9:02:00 AM PST

Michele sent me over, Naomi. It's been over a week since my last visit. I sound like I'm going to confession! LOL
My parents are always telling me things like your jokes here, Naomi. I've only gotten some of the ravages of age so far, but Winter is coming quickly into my life, no doubt. On one level the jokes you have here are funny--on another level they're chilling and quite appropriate to Halloween. *shiver*- Sunday, October 29, 2006 at 4:17:00 PM PST

Wonderful! love them all (particularly the one with making the same noises as the coffeemaker, lol). I'm afraid there is a large discrepancy between the way I feel and the person I see in the mirror!

Love ya "YOUNG Lady Of The Hills". I'm just beginning to get to the hot flashes and pre-menopause and "witch hairs" on my chin...etc. of mid 40's.

omgosh Naomi, these have me busting up! Sometimes I've thought I should just keep reading the same book, cuz I can never remember which ones I've read anyways. :)
I love the one about the 96 year old woman & the funeral director and that is so true about the driver's license! My mom's friend is blind in 1 eye & they just told him to use the other eye for the test!! He's like 82 years old & has no periphreal vision either!- Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 5:20:00 AM PST

Oh, those are good.
I loved the advice on continuing to laugh too.
