I got this in an email this morning called, "The Older Crowd...

[moosmom]

THE OLDER CROWD

A distraught senior citizen
Phoned her doctor's office.
'Is it true,' she wanted to know,
'that the medication
You prescribed has to be taken
For the rest of my life?'
'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence
Before the senior lady replied,
I'm wondering, then,
Just how serious is my condition
Because this prescription is marked
'NO REFILLS'..'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An older gentleman was
On the operating table
Awaiting surgery
And he insisted that his son,
A renowned surgeon,
Perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia,
He asked to speak to his son
'Yes, Dad, what is it? '
'Don't be nervous, son;
Do your best
And just remember,
If it doesn't go well,
If something happens to me,
Your mother
Is going to come and
Live with you and your wife....'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aging:
Eventually you will reach a point
When you stop lying about your age
And start bragging about it.
---------------------------------
(My favorite)
The older we get,
The fewer things
Seem worth waiting in line for.
---------------------------------

Some people
Try to turn back their odometers.
Not me!
I want people to know 'why'
I look this way.
I've traveled a long way
And some of the roads weren't paved.
********************

When you are dissatisfied
And would like to go back to youth,
Think of Algebra.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know you are getting old when
Everything either dries up or leaks.
-------------------------------

One of the many things
No one tells you about aging
Is that it is such a nice change
From being young.

Ah, being young is beautiful,
But being old is comfortable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First you forget names,
Then you forget faces.
Then you forget to pull up your zipper.
It's worse when
You forget to pull it down.
---------------------------------

Long ago
When men cursed
And beat the ground with sticks,
It was called witchcraft...
Today, it's called golf.

Donna, I loved ALL of them! As a matter of fact, I printed them out for the activity people to look at and use. I especially liked the one about forgetting to use your zipper!

Mine to. It kinda reminds me of me.
I'm copying this lot, and sending it to all the over 25's I know

I already know that.
Your hubby sent me your latest pic last night.
