Getting Old

Don't be worried about your smartphone or TV spying on you. Your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.

If you can't think of a word, say, "I forgot the English word for it." That way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot.

I'm at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out.

I'm getting tired of being part of a major historical event.

I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do it's because I missed my exit.

Ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce, and cheese. FINE, it was a pizza.... OK, I ate a pizza! Are you happy now?

I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this.

I love approaching 80, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.

I think I'll just put an "Out of Order" sticker on my forehead and call it a day.

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be older...this is not what I expected.

Life is like a helicopter. I don't know how to operate a helicopter.

It's probably my age that tricks people into thinking I'm an adult.

Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So, remember, don't sing!

I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.

I'm at that age where my mind still thinks I'm 29, my humor suggests I'm 12, while my body mostly keeps asking if I'm sure I'm not dead yet.

You don't realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I am getting tired of two things! Getting older and being part of the major hysterical event!

Life is like a helicopter…how true. I once tried a helicopter simulator. Nothing worked the way I figured it would and getting up wasn’t a problem, but getting down is when I crashed and burned. True story.

Getting old leads to Lysdexia so I keep reading bikinkawboy as Bikini Cowboy and have problems getting that image out of my head.

I weigh less now than when I was 35.

I have to report positive progress on that front. I believe I have more mass now than I ever have, but I cannot confirm an equivalence between mass and energy.

I can attest that all of these things are completely accurate

I personally will take getting older to the other alternative.

Don’t worry, you’re not the first one. And that’s “bikin’ (I ride a motorcycle) kaw (I have Kawasakis) boy (I raise livestock, so cowboy)”. Hopefully this will put your mind at ease.
