I thank the stars that I made it this far in one piece with all my parts still working as intended.

For some reason, my words mean more to others now. I watch my tongue.

Chinese saying: "Once the words leave your mouth, four horses cannot pull them back."

Am I getting old? ... Have I gotten To THAT Age???

I found this timely because today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today?" I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?"
I just say, "No, it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance."

The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble.

Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs?"

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've travelled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved.

You know you are getting old when everything either dries up, sags or leaks.

Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.

Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

May you always have: Love to share, Cash to spare, Tires with air, And friends who care!

WOW.

Great pearls of wisdom.

Thanks for sharing. I am at an age
where most of the "pearls" really resonate
with me.

Thanks for sharing. Some good ones in that set.

I have two favorite sayings about getting old.

I may be growing older, but I'll never grow up.

I'm old enough to know better - and too old to care!

They say MONEY is the root of all evil, so why do all the church's want all of your money.
