Super User Muddy Posted February 7, 2009 Super User Posted February 7, 2009 Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70, or beyond that! 01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 03. No one expects you to run---any where. 04. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, did I wake you? 05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. 07. Things you buy now won't wear out. 08. You can eat supper at 4 p.m. 09. You can live without sex but not your glasses. 10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans. 11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room. 13. You sing along with elevator music. 14. Your eyes won' t get much worse. 15 . Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service. 17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. 18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size. 19. You can't remember who sent you this list. 20.And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night ! Quote
Super User cart7t Posted February 8, 2009 Super User Posted February 8, 2009 I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm actually able to relate to some of those. ;D Quote
Branuss04 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 That's sad... even at 22 I can relate to a couple of those :'( . 04. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, did I wake you? (I enjoy my sleep.... enough said) 16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service. (Back in High School I dis-located my shoulder twice in basketball, then threw my arm out in baseball.... all in the same year. Needless to say, I can tell you when the rain is commin :. I can only imagine what it will be like in 20 years... OUCH!!!) Quote
