Thursday !3....The Perks of Growing Older

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation, you are most likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run....anywhere!

4. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac!

5. There's nothing left to learn the hard way.

6. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

7. You sing along with elevator music.

8. Your eyes won't get much worse.

9. Your joints are more accurate meteorologist than the National Weather Service.

10. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

11. Your supply of brain cells are finally down to a manageable size.

12. The things you buy now won't wear out.

13. You can eat supper at 4 P.M.

LOL! Now... the problem with #11 is that when they drop below a certain level, then they all just start floatin' around in there and get lost and bump into each other at the intersections and stuff... causes a whole NEW degree of unmanageable!

This was a great list - sort of the opposite of a TT I did on 13 Reasons Why It Sucks To Get Old - now I have to look at my old fart-ism in a whole new way, lol!

My TT is 13 Pieces of Vintage Valentine's Art - oh, and some of my pop art hearts too!

Happy Valentine's and TT!

HA! It freaks out my daughter that the music of her youth is now elevator music! Can you imagine how Freddie Mercury, if he had lived, would be feeling now that his song "We Will Rock You" is used by Wal-Mart. Oh aghhh

Most of the ones you posted are so true :)
