I remember one time when I saw a couple girls that looked about 15 smoking cigarettes. I told them that smoking was going to stunt their growth. One of the girls told me to mind my own business and called me a "Dirty ol' man". What makes this really bad is that was about 25 years ago! :-\

When I'm over 40 I will be wondering where the rest of my hair went and my daughter will still be making fun of me for loosing it.

Frankn I admire you, sir! (have to call you sir cause you're more than 5 years older than me) Don't never slow down, cause it seems like slowin down is what makes people get old. My family has a history of bein very long-lived, with car wrecks bein our only natural predators. 40 really wasn't nothin for me. Nothin changed much at all since then, but I do get a lot of mail from AARP these days.

When over 40 you start examining your life goals, objectives and achievements and realise your not making any of them.

When over 40, you start reading the ads for hemorrhoids, constipation, hair loss, and various pain relievers.

Dang! Over 40 and you can still read that fine print? The last time I tried to read the directions on one of those boxes I thought it said, "Insure depository in recroom". :laughing7:

I wish I could remember way back when I was 40.... What? Time for my Jello? By God, it better be green jello! Don't try to give me red jello and tell me I'm color blind! Dammit, I'm old, not stupid!

Best,
Scott

Perks of reaching 40 or being over 50 and heading towards 60!

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 supper 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.

And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.


And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Turning 50 this month and the main thing I notice is that when I don't exercise, things get a bit harder a bit faster and the gains do not hang around long if you fall off the exercise wagon for a few weeks. Most likely connected to lower testosterone and other hormone levels. But the nice thing is...once you get back in the exercise habit it comes back and you are good to go.

Exercise is the key baby! :headbang:

When over 40, you finally realize that your mother is not the greatest cook in the world.

I'm over 50 and I've made new friends....Dr. Scholl, Ben Gay, and, for aches and pains, lethargy, insomnia or if the fish ain't bitin', Jack Daniels. :wink:

You know you're getting old when you wake up and have "snap, crackle and pop" and you ain't talking 'bout breakfast cereal. :-\


Best,
Scott
