You and your teeth don't sleep together. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture. It takes two tries to get up from the couch. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio. When happy hour is a nap. When you're on yer holidays and your ENERGY runs out before your money does. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going. Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot. It takes twice as long - to look half as good. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't care anymore. You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

I love those, I know I am getting older, but most of those still do not apply.
