About Getting Older

ABOUT GETTING OLDER
Happy Birthday, Andy Garcia


I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.


Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: 'And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?' the reporter asked. She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'


Morris, an 82-year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"
Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doctor, 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"
The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said you got a heart mummer and be careful."


Answer to last trivia question: Kool-Aid originally came in seven flavors…what were they? Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Grape, Orange, Lemon-Lime and Root Beer.
Today's trivia question: What did Whoopi Goldberg do for a living before becoming an actress?
Thought for the Day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
