I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN
I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN
- I'm the life of the party... even when it lasts 'till 8pm.
- I'm very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer.
- I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I'm going.
- I'm good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, antacid...
- I'm the first one to find the bathroom wherever I go.
- I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
- I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying.
- I'm very good at telling stories...over and over and over and over.
- I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not as bright as mine.
- I'm so cared for: long-term care, eye care, private care, dental care.
- I'm not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, children, politicians...
- I'm positive I did housework correctly before the Internet.
- I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place.
- I'm wrinkled, saggy and lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
- I'm having trouble remembering simple words like... uh...
- I'm now spending more time with my pillows than with my mate.
- I'm realizing that aging is not for sissies.
- I'm walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less.
- I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days.
- I'm in the *initial* state of my golden years: SS, CD's, IRA's, AARP.
- I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?
- I'm anti-everything now: anti-fat, anti-smoke, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory.
- I'm supporting all movements now... by eating bran, prunes and raisins.
- I'm a walking storeroom of facts... I've just lost the key to the storeroom.
- I'm a Senior Citizen and I think I am having the time of my life... Aren't I?

Thena, you crack me up!!! The Erma Bombeck of the Pub!!! Enjoy your new status and take those Early Bird specials for all they're worth!
thena.. you are one of the YOUNGEST people i know.. ..because you are always young at heart. ..in what you write, what you say and how you say it.. you just come across as wise but oh-so-youthful. i think it's your excitement for life that does it. :) much love, ginger
BY THE WAY......i was just reading over your other posts in your blog and the one on DESSERT/DESERT made me laugh because i TOO used to have trouble with those words..UNTIL...someone told me to think of it like DESSERT is twice as good (yummy) ..so it must be the word with 2 s's. ....maybe that lil trick will help you too?? :):)
Hi, Mom, I heard there were cookies and milk over here! Thena, you are too cute. Thank you (I think) for the preview of life in the not-so-distant future. I hope I can maintain the same sense of humor that you do!
