the thinker

50 yrs

 

You know you're getting old when you stop to think and forget to start again.

"Inside every older person is a younger person...
wondering what the hell happened."

Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

Breaking news: People-jack just invented!! Finally, a way to track the wanderers in your life.
   
Don't interupt me while I'm talking to myself.
John 50 year old; one owner; needs parts; make offer.
I live in my own little world, but it's okay because they know me here.

Happy birthday, you old bird!
It's not about age, it's about attitude.
On your birthday: count your candles, count your years, count your blessings!

And last, but not least....

The Cat in the Hat on Aging

I cannot see
I cannot pee
I cannot chew
I cannot screw
Oh my God, what can I do?
My memory shrinks
My hearing stinks
No sense of smell
I look like hell
My mood is bad - can you tell?
My body's drooping
Have trouble pooping
The Golden Years
have come at last
The Golden Years
Can kiss my ass.
