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.

Comment by Curt Bolding on December 11, 2012 at 3:58pm: That's great. I'm a workout bug, too. Exercise is so important. I'm 54 - I took up yoga two years ago and if I knew then what I know now, I'd have taken it up 30 years ago. I can't believe how good it makes me feel.

Comment by Jeff on December 11, 2012 at 3:50pm: I'm feeling great. I've been going to the local gym since I was 25. I'm active and healthy. I enyoy being with my wife, son and daughter in law and our new baby girl.

Comment by Danny E. Mason on April 5, 2012 at 10:28pm: Naah, we are still hereeeee....zzzzzzz..what is it morning already?

Comment by David Arbogast on April 5, 2012 at 12:42pm: 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.

Comment by Curt Bolding on August 22, 2011 at 6:33pm: 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.
