Though still under 50 (barely), I'm at an age where my body makes a lot of creaks, crunches and groans when I move. My 13 year old nephew (with whom we are greatly pleased ) always has a look of comcern on his face when I stand up -are you okay? Did anything break? Do we need an ambulance?
According to my 5 year old, when you're "really old" your bones "crack" (to which he's quick to demonstrate as he interlaces his fingers and pushes them outward in front of him) and apparently, I'm the oldest one in the house because Papi's bones don't make the "cracking sound" and, as I explained before, that "cracking sound" means you're "really old" and I'm the only one that makes it (logic gets you the deduction here). But I'm not to worry, he'll take care of me "til I die".

It IS always noon somewhere and the beer should be cold
You know you are getting old when you and your honey listen to the answering machine and realize he's just received a death threat and a gun threat at his school and you both sit down and have a great laugh before calling the police. All the fuss isn't funny but when you are old it sure seems that way!!

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter. Lullabies, dreams and love ever after. A thousand welcomes when anyone comes... That's the Irish for You!
...you start considering opening a window to tell those noisy brats to shut up outside .

I have two modes: wiseass and dumbass. Mode is determined by current blood alcohol level.
Drinking is a sport. In order to be competitive, you must practice on a regular basis. Although you can practice alone, it is much more fun to practice with friends. If you're out of shape and practice too hard, you will regret it the next day.
Life is a disease. It is sexually transmitted and always terminal.
On Saturday night we took my 83 year old parents to a night of 40's music put on by a group of teenagers, to remind them of their earlier years together. The kids did a great job of singing and dancing to all the great old tunes!
I knew 95% of the songs!
Good Lord above, I wasn't even born until the 50's!
As to cubby pill containers - I now take so many pills that I have four seperate containers for each day! I have to carry a list of what I take, in what amount, when!
Just a tip - Ambulance attendants, ER nurse's & Dr's really love it when you can give them a full list of what you are taking. It saves so much time for you and them!
Now, I'm depressed! Time to head for Ye Olde Pub again!
