Your getting old when.... You get up in the morning and everything hurst. What doesn't hurt doesn't work. You get a sudden gleam in your eye. It's the sun reflecting off your bifocals. You tell your coworkers you feel so tough from the night before. But you weren't anywhere the night before. You see all those middle-aged people around your house. They're your children. You finally take the plunge and join a health and exercise club. Then you don't go. At last, you know all the answers. Nobody asks you the questions. You settle dow in your favorite rocking chair. You can't get it going. Your knees buckle, but your belt doesn't. You remember today that yesterday was your wedding anniversary. Your back goes out more than you do. You stop looking forward to your next birthday. You get tired dialing long distance. You're burning the midnight oil, but it's only 9 pm. A fortune teller offers to read the wrinkles on your face. You take your wife out to a romantic cancle-light dinner at at plush supper club, sink your teeth into a choice steak and they stay there. |: )) Marge .
