Random thoughts as we age.......

  • Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes; come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller!
  • Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet!
  • I don't trip over things, I do random gravity checks!
  • I don't need anger management. I need people to stop pissing me off!
  • Old age is coming at a really bad time!
  • When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment ... Now, as a grownup, it just feels like a small vacation!
  • The biggest lie I tell myself is ... "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."
  • Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can & the friends to post my bail when I finally snap!
  • I don't have gray hair. I have "wisdom highlights". I'm just very wise.
  • My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance for idiots that needs work.
  • Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.
  • If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees.
  • The kids text me "plz" which is shorter than please. I text back "no" which is shorter than "yes".
  • I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do the second week.
  • When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?
  • I've lost my mind and I'm pretty sure my wife took it!
  • Even Duct tape can't fix stupid ... But it can muffle the sound!
  • Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?
  • Of course I talk to myself, sometimes I need expert advice.
  • Oops! Did I roll my eyes out loud?
  • At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.

Perks of being over 60 and heading towards 70 or beyond!
