How I can relate to all this! Why for example is print so small these days? When did the ground get so far away and make weeding so difficult? Who decided to make packets so hard to open? And why does everyone whisper these days? I'm blowed if I know!!

Why do we fear of heights even it is only three foot off the ground when we are on a ladder?

 

Why is everyone whizzing past me as if I am standing still when I am driving on the highway? After all I stick the speed on cruise and think nothing of it.

That one I can answer. Because somewhere between when we were young and our current age, WE LEARNED WE CAN DIE!

When evaluating data one should always consider the source and remember, no one wants to make illegal that which he wants to do.

when did mornings start to fee like this:

instead of this:

wee.gif

? 

WHEN! I ask you!

 

Why is it that I now worry about the height of my hubby's bronco (for getting in and out) because of my knees instead of the movement range of the hem of my skirt?

 

but then again, when did I start thinking "put on a skirt for going out?  scr** it, I'll wear what I've got on. no one's looking anyway..."

 

When did I start taking (some) unfinished projects off my "to do" list because I *know* they're never getting finished in this lifetime?

 

What happened that I even BEGIN to feel comfortable posting on an "aging" thread like this? 

DANG it! 

noooOOOOoooooOOOOo!

Why did my nose get too short to hold my glasses when I read the newspaper?

 

Why do my knees sound like rice krispies when I get off the couch?

 

When did 15 stairs get to looking so steep that sleeping on the couch seems like a viable option after a long day?

 

Why does my husband mumble and the kids speak so softly? 

I'm a little teapot.....

 

see, prions really are eating my brain

This thread is hysterical!  I can so relate!

 

I don't remember who, but somebody did a whole "bit" about the noises we make as we age.  Ever notice that you have seperate sounds for sitting down, versus getting up?  For me, sitting down is "Oof!", and standing up is "Oww!".

Two things my Ol' Gramps always told..... and I've found to be true....

 

1) I'll always have more experience than the youth  old.gif

 

2) The wisdom of age, and treachery, can always beat youthful exuberance....  tongue2.gif

Yes, sitting down is "oof" getting out of a vehicle is uuhhh, most movements are "oww".

 

Why does this woman who I have slept next to for 48 + years suddenly snore like a trooper forcing me from the bedroom?

Why has she become a world class belcher, and nothing said about other gaseous releases.

Why does she not hear/misunderstand most of what I say.

Why can't I hear her - honest, it's not intentional as she claims.

Why have robins stopped singing in the morning?

Why do the headlights of oncoming vehicles glare so?

Why does Wendy's give me the 'senior discount' without asking? old.gif

Maybe it's not getting old. Maybe it's just being human. Besides, Nuncle George, you have to stick around at least long enough to come to my wedding. So no getting too old. wink.png


I'm a teenager and I ADORE jane austen!!!! I hate twilight sickbyc.gif have you read any of her other books? they are really good.
