Perks of reaching 50 ... or being over 60 ... + heading towards 70 or beyond :-
* No one expects you to run -- anywhere.
* People call at 9 pm ( or 9 am) and ask "Did I wake you ?".
* There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
* Things you buy now won't wear out.
* You can eat supper at 4 pm.
* You can live without sex but not your glasses.
* You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
* You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
* You sing along with elevator music.
* Your eyes won't get much worse.
* Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
* Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
* Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
* Most important of all ... NEVER take a sleeping pill and laxative on the same night
