Are you old? An ancient fossil from a long gone age? Surely not. Age is just a number and a state of mind. In reality we are all young at heart if we want to be.
Here are some definitions of "OLD". I bet they don't apply to you.
OLD’ IS WHEN…
Your sweetie says, ‘Let’s go upstairs and make love,’ and you answer, ‘Pick
one; I can’t do both!’
‘OLD’ IS WHEN…
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you’re barefoot.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN…
Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN….
You don’t care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don’t have to go
along.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN…
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN
‘Getting a little action’ means you don’t need to take a laxative today.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN….
‘Getting lucky’ means you find your car in the parking lot.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN…
An ‘all nighter’ means not getting up to use the bathroom.
‘OLD’ IS WHEN….
You’re not sure if these are facts or jokes.

Anyway ... there are some advantages to being "OLD"
No one expects you to run – anywhere.
People call at 9 pm and ask, “did I wake you?”
People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
You can eat supper at 4 pm.
You can live without sex but not your glasses.
You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
You sing along with elevator music.
Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either.
You can wear your trousers all the way up to your nipples and hold them there with a belt and braces and everyone thinks you're stylish. A sex symbol for the woman who doesn't care.
And remember… Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
Seriously though: be thankful whatever age you are and trust in God to see you through every day onto eternity.
...it's said that being old is a state of mind, but some days my body wouldn't agree.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, Tom. God bless.
DeleteFortunately/unfortunately(?), I can only relate to 2 of these. (Okay, maybe 3).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs ... and reminder to trust!
Only 3 is doing good, Mevely. God bless always my friend
DeleteHello Victor: You made us both laugh, you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteLaughter is what we need now more then ever.
Gods Blessings to you and your family
Catherine❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Laughter is good at any age, Catherine. It keeps us young.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
Thanks for the laughs, Victor. My bones let me know each day what I can do or not do. No more pole vaulting, I guess that is over now. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to like pole vaulting too, Bill. One day I let go too early and flew into an oak tree. I couldn't get down. In fact I'm still up there.
DeleteGod bless.
These are great, Victor, and now that I'm old, I can better laugh at myself - LOL! Blessings always!
ReplyDeleteWe are never old, Martha. It's the world that refuses to grow up and act serious.
DeleteGod bless you.
Thanks for all the reminders!! WE got some great laughs at the truths clothed in a joke!
ReplyDeleteOh yes the Mecano set you got for Christmas. You made me look that up! Over here we did not know who made them, we just said we got and erector set. LOL
Love from the next coast over.
Thanx Jack; I did not know the trade mark Mecano was not in the USA. It was hours of fun.
DeleteGod bless always.
You made us smile with these, Victor.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to laugh Barbara. God bless, my friend.
DeleteOld is always ten years older than the age you are now!
ReplyDeleteDoes that include inflation?
DeleteGod bless, Mimi.
This post made me smile too and I agree with your last words you've highlighted in red.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you so much Jan for your kind words and encouragement.
DeleteGod bless you always.
Oh those are funny. I resemble some of them! 🤦🏼♀️
ReplyDeleteOld age has a way of sneaking up on me. When I am sitting still, I feel like I’m in my 30’s. It’s when I get up, is when reality sets in - or when I step out of the shower, or when I need help opening a jar! I know I’m getting older and there is not a thing I can do about it but embrace it. Just be the best old person we can be. Yeah yeah, it’s only a number but such a BIG number!
God bless Victor and thanks for the smile this morning.!
When I was feeling weak I went to the doctors and he gave me a bottle of vitamins. When I got home I was still weak and could not open the bottle. So I had to go back to the doctor and asked him to open it for me. My wife drove me there and could not find a place to park, so she drove round and round until I got the bottle opened and we went home.
DeleteGod bless, Debby.
Oh my goodness - we did talk about similar things. Too funny. I have to say that I have to check off a lot of those boxes there. When I am typing here I feel young - and then when I get up I feel - ah - older. :)
ReplyDeleteLife is what we make it, Chatty Crone. Let us trust in the Lord to keep us young.
DeleteGod bless always.
