If you're happy and you know it, it's your meds.
• I'm at the age where my mind still thinks I'm 29, my sense of humor suggests I'm 12, while my body mostly keeps asking if I'm sure I'm not dead yet.
• Getting older is like being a haunted house. There are sounds and smells that cannot be explained.
• Do you know how weird it is being the same age as old people?
• You know you're getting old when you barely do anything all day, but still need a nap to continue to do barely anything.
• You know you're old when you go to bed at the time you used to go out.
• You know you're getting old when you can't walk past a bathroom without thinking, "I may as weel while I'm here."
• I feel that there are a number of advantages to having gotten older. I just can't seem to remember them, though.• I used to be able to do cartwheels. Now I tip over putting on my underwear.
• Al told me I should embrace my mistakes... so I hugged him.
• At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next.
• I thought growing old would take longer.
• I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing. Retraced my steps, got lost on the way back. Now I have no idea what's going on.
• I think the reason we are born with two hands is so we can pet two dogs at once.
• Day 12 without chocolate. Lost hearing in my left eye.
• Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They forgot to mention morons.
• The adult version of "head, shoulders, knees and toes" is "wallet, glasses, keys and phone." Or, spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch.
• A dog accepts you as the boss... a cat wants to see your resume.
• Oops.... did I roll my eyes out loud?
• Wi-fi went down for five minutes, so I had to talk to my family. They seem like nice people.
• If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I'm self-employed; we're having a staff meeting.
• I won't be impressed with technology until I can download food.
• Some people call me crazy. I prefer happy with a twist.
• My doctor asked if anyone in my family suffers from mental illness. I said, "No, we all seem to enjoy it."
• I really don't mind getting old, but my body is having a major fit.
• Camping: where you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person.
• Al told me he wanted to be cremated. I made him an appointment for Tuesday.
• Measure once, cuss twice..
• I've reached the age where my train of thought often leaves the station without me.
• If you're happy and you know it, it's your meds.
