The Perks of Being Over 50

Snagged from this website:

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere.
4. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat dinner at 4 p.m.
9. You can live without sex (though not without glasses).
10. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.
11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
12. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
13. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
14. You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
15. You sing along with elevator music.
16. Your eyes won't get much worse.
17. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
18. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the National Weather Service.
19. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them, either.
20. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.

I got my first letter from the AARP when I was 43.  They actually wanted me to join, pay my dues, and wait until I was 50 to receive any benefits.  No lie!  (I showed the letter to my wife.)Can…Continue

Sadly, I have graduated to the men over the hill (over 60) group, but I still qualify eminently as being over 50.

Comment by Curt Bolding on April 5, 2012 at 10:03am

You guys still out there?  You didn't all die off and leave me all alone, did you?

Comment by Curt Bolding on August 27, 2011 at 12:14pm

Ha.. no thanks.  I don't want to get to know you guys that way.

Hey Guys... I would like to invite you to join the new group on here exclusively for Nudists. I hope it will become a place for us to share our interest in Nudisim, and to all get to know each other better...

I lifted weights for 40 years and participated in seven different martial arts over those same years.  Now I have a biceps tendon that has split in half.  I'm just not willing to do those activities any more.  It's not worth it.  Yoga and biking for me.
Comment by Rabbi on August 22, 2011 at 11:34am
B'H  My exercise routine involves strolls more than hikes and Aikido.  I can still out wrestle my grandson if I can catch him.
Comment by David Arbogast on August 21, 2011 at 10:00pm
I am probably too mundane in my fitness efforts.  I ride a stationary bike alternate days and swim on the other days.  It works for me.
Comment by Dave Tindell on August 21, 2011 at 7:26pm
 Yoga is great. I also train in martial arts, isshin-ryu karate and kobujutsu (Okinawan weapons). The most important thing is to keep your mind and body active.
Comment by Curt Bolding on August 21, 2011 at 6:30pm
What do some of you lads do to stay in shape?  I've taken up Yoga, myself.
