Perks of Being Over 45

Can't seem to get anything done with mom still sick, so will leave you with blogger filler. Don't forget you can still enter for the drawing for Closer ... you have until 9:00 p.m. central Tuesday night.

Perks of Being Over 45

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 pm 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 pm.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the
room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay
off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national
weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember
them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

19. You can't remember who sent you this list... (this one is very true *gg*)
And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

Brandy said...

Shoot (snaps fingers) beaten again! Are you going to be mad if I say I won't have to deal with some of these for another 13 years? Although, the memory one, true, SO TRUE!

Not over 45 yet, but I can already relate to this. I'm so pathetic.

I'm there, and they're all true. Every single one.
Hope you and your mom are having a better time of it today.

Jeanne - look at you, beating poor Brandy to the punch. LOL

Kelly - I laughed.

Brandy - nope, I'll just wait to laugh when you reach it. Bwaaaahaaaa.

Yes Tanya - some of these maladies start early.

Loreth - I have it written on my date book - WHICH is now sitting in front of new monitor so it isn't covered up. That might help. Just getting you ready for the inevitable. LOL

I don't know Raine - I had to look that one up. *gg*

Me too Shirley. Every.single.one. :(

Keeping the old fingers crossed that mom does okay today because I have so much to do.

Michele said...

Speed limit no longer a challenge? Surely you jest! That's the starting point!
Vrrrooom!

These are fun. I aim to prove some of them false though.

Which ones? I can't remember.

Saskia Walker said...

Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs. Hope your Mom is doing better.

Kelly Boyce said...

Hmm...I think I'd rather live without my glasses!

Scott said...

I relate to almost all those. Wow.

I LOL when I hear Aerosmith or Rolling Stones converted to Muzak's classical music.

Can't get no Satisfaction?
Walk this way.
Love in an elevator.
Surprise ,surprise,
Dude looks like a lady.
Whoops!

Inspired and brought to you by elevator Muzak.

Those are good! But I don't especially want to think any of them will apply to me soon. *g*

Christa said...

These sound a lot like the perks of being OVER 35.
Good wishes to you and your mom. Hopefully everything works out.

Laurie Wood said...

ROFLMBO, Bailey! Some of them come with being over 40, never mind 45! Hope you get some writing time today and your mom's doing better today. Take care of yourself too!

Joely Sue Burkhart said...

HAHA!! I hope your mom is better.

Meretta said...

Oh boy. There are quite a few in that list that already apply to me. Apparently I'm a fast learner. ;)

Hope your mom does better soon. And that you are doing well.

Hope your mom is doing okay. I'm in your same position, so I can definitely relate.

Loved the list, but the speed limit? Nah, that will always be a challenge.
