"Life After Forty"

"How To Know You're Growing Older"

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
You feel like the night before and you haven't been anywhere.
Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
You get winded playing chess.
Your children begin to look middle aged.
You join a health cllub and don't go.
You begin to outlive enthusiasm.
Your mind makes contracts your body can't meet.
You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.
You look forward to a dull evening.
Your favorite part of the newspaper is "25 years ago today".
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle and your belt won't.
You're 17" around the neck and 42" around the waist.
You stop looking forward to your next birthday.
Dialing long distance wears you out.
Your back goes out more than you do.
A fortune teller offers to read your face.
You turn out the light for economic reasons rather than romantic ones.
You remember today, that yesterday was your wedding anniversary.
You are startled the first time you are addressed as "Old Timer".
You burn the midnight oil after 9:00 P.M.
You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.
Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl walk by.
You get your exercise acting as a pallbearer for your fiends who exercise.
You get too much room in the house and not enough room in the medicine cabinent.
The best part of your day is over when your alarm goes off.

Have a nice day----if you're able!!


This is just a little humor that I've added for your enjoyment, because we all know.....
