Age related facts

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

I think Father Michael Sinnott may disagree with that first one

Your eyes won't get much worse.

... what was that you said? ...?

[Arthur Little]

Father Michael Sinnott ...

... an appropriate name for a clergyman, I must confess!

[Doc Alan]

I think Father Michael Sinnott may disagree with that first one

I am sorry if you were offended. He was kidnapped ( age 79 ) by Moro rebels in Pagadian City, Mindanao and released about a month later. This followed diplomatic efforts by the Irish and Philippine Governments, no ransom was paid, and he returned to his missionary work in January last year.
My thread did not refer to specific individuals and was not intended to be taken seriously. That's why it was posted in the Humour section.

No offence taken here I would've thought older people may be more of a target, as they tend to be more financially secure.

Two recently, which had a happy ending thankfully -

Next correct answer wins a prize. A trip to Mecca with Apo Shark!

I asked my Doctor if it would be OK to have sex at 79.
he said yes it was, and thought it was a good idea.
I said yes I think it's a good idea too as I live at 80 and 79 is just across the road

three old codgers are sat in the retirement home bemoaning the vagaries of old age.. The 1st bloke says well it is vey annoying getting up in the night wanting a pee, going and then nothing comes out....... the 2nd bloke nods the other says.. nah no problem I pee like a racehorse every morning around 7am regular as clockwork. Now the 2nd bloke complains about not being able to crap when he goes in the night. 1st bloke agrees and the other says .. nah no problem there either , 8am.. you get set your watch by it... Only trouble is I don`t wake up until 9AM

.... that was about 2005, right ? Better idea to leave it until bedtime, say after 2100

one good thing about growing older.... the age range of women you consider worth just gets bigger.. I mean what 25 yr old would fancy a 60 yr old... but Doc Allan and Arthur would be right in there
