Perks To Living beyond Age 50

The Wife just sent me this, I guess because I will be 50 in two months:

I disagree with #9 True but I still disagree!


01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

03. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

04. People call at 9 PM and ask, did I wake you?

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

07. Things you buy now won't wear out.

08. You can eat supper at 4 PM.

09. 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.

Thanks Craig.

I'll be 50 in less than a month. I'm sure it's a typo on my birth cerificate and I'm only going to be 40.

I have exactly one week to go. (Dec 22) 50. Weird. Why do I still think I'm 19?

Because you still like the same aged girls as you did when you were 19?

All the best for an excellent birthday Charlie.

I'd say the list is for 70 YO. At 50 I was only 3 years retired as a kart racer. Think motocross if you've never driven one in a race. My joints went away at 60. I learn the hard way and by being educated everyday at 63. I can't and won't live w/o sex even if it's possible! I get up every morning with a stiffy. Don't get to do much with it, but it's ready.

+62 or 62+
Agree with Milt.... if that list applies to you at 50 you need to seriously reevaluate things in your life.

Milt - What's a stiffy?
(Is that something I should remember?)
Best,

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

Your secrets are all safe because anyone who would know them is DEAD.
