50, eh?!

Not to worry, because once you're over the hill, you begin to pick up speed!

Besides...

I'd much prefer being over the hill, than under it!

As you age Bob, try to remember these uplifting perks I found online for you...

1. Your supply of brain cells will finally be down to a manageable size.

2. Your secrets will be safe with your friends because they won't remember them either. (except for me because I am decades younger than you are! )

3. You'll sing along with elevator music.

4. Your joints will be more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

5. You'll have a party and the neighbors won't even realize it.

6. People will call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"

7. People will no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

8. Things you'll buy now won't wear out.

9. You'll be able to live without sex but not without your glasses.

10. You'll enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.

11. You'll get into heated arguments about pension plans.

12. You'll be able to eat dinner at 4 P.M.

13. There'll be nothing left to learn the hard way.

14. You'll no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

15. You'll quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

16. Your investment in health insurance will finally begin to pay off.

17. You won't remember who sent you this list.

Totally teasing of course. After all, would you expect anthing less of me? Maybe it might have been better if you'd said "best" instead of "old", eh?!

Here's what you really wanna hear...

50 and Fit

Fifty's good, so ignore the detractor
From biking (OR running, or hiking or swimming) you are benefactor
Of health plain to see
You look thirty-three.
You're fit! And that's always a factor.

I guess you do look pretty good for 50, from the pics I've seen you post in the threads from time to time, but don't let it go to your head.

This is just too funny though...

The Golden Age

With the average cost for a Nursing Home per day reaching $188.00, there is a better way when we get old & feeble. I have ascertained that I can get a nice room at the Holiday Inn for around $65.00...that leaves $123.00 a day for beer, food (room service), laundry, gratuities and special TV movies. They have a swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge, washer, dryer, etc. Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap. Super 8 is somewhat more economical and they have a free breakfast, though you usually have to walk next door for lunch and dinner.

There may be a bit of a wait to get that first floor room, but that's OK, it takes months to get into decent nursing homes. There is the Senior Bus, the Handicap bus (if you fake a decent limp), a Church bus or van, cabs, and even a regular bus. For a change of lunch take the Airport Bus and eat at one of the fast food cafe's there. The Inn has security, and if someone sees you drop over, they will call an ambulance. And should you break a hip, the American Way is to Sue. What more can you ask for? As a bonus, they all have AARP and other Senior discounts.

So: When I reach the Golden age help me keep my grin.
Just check my old rickety ass into the nearest Holiday Inn!

Now back to Hollies...

Is that thing planted already?
