I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN AND I'M PROUD IF IT / myLot

I'm the life of the party...even when it lasts until 8 p.m. I'm very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer. I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going. I'm the first one to find the bathroom wherever I go. I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up. I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying. I'm very good at telling stories...over and over and over and over. I'm not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, children, politicians... I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place. I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg. I'm having trouble remembering simple words like...uhhhh...ummmm I'm realizing that aging is not for sissies. If you are what you eat, I'm Shredded Wheat and All Bran. I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days. I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150? I'm supporting all movements now...by eating bran, prunes, and raisins. I'm a walking storeroom of facts...I've just lost the storeroom. I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN...and I think I am having the time of my life!!

Getting Old - Getting old can be the pitts at times, but it beats the alternative.

How did you know how I felt??? That is so cute, and so true. However, it still beats the alternative. I laughed my head off the first time I received this and forwarded it to all my senior citizen friends...and kept a copy for myself.

You still have years to go, whereas I am coming closer all the time. Alas there doesn't seem to be a slippery part on the way to the top, but I still live in hope as I have a little bit of a way to go to reach the top. LOL

I have to disagree deebomb, because "old" is someone who is at least 90+. Unless of course it works to my advantage to say that I am old. LOL

Ossi as I get older I notice that old keeps getting futher away. I used to think 50 was old until I got there. Then Now that I'm 60 70 not so old. ha ha.
