    Many thanks to all my pals, I hope to spend my new found status of being a Senior Citizen doing all the things that I never could find the time to do in the past.

    Signs That Old Age Might Be Creeping Up On You

    You like to be in crowds because they keep you from falling down.

    Your favorite section of the newspaper is "25 Years Ago Today".

    The parts that have arthritis are the parts where you feel best.

    A big evening with your friends is sitting around comparing living wills.

    Your clothes go into the overnight bag so you can fill the suitcase with your pills.

    Somebody you consider an old-timer calls you an old-timer.

    Your idea of a change of scenery is looking to the left or right.

    Your knees buckle, but your belt won't.

    Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.

    You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.

    The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

    Getting lucky means you found your car in the parking lot.

    The twinkle in your eye is only a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.

    It takes twice as long to look half as good.




    Sorry Golach, couldn't miss the opportunity!!

    I think it's my round. In fact, I insist.

    Have a great retirement Golach, spend more time on the things that you truly want to do. My retired friends say that being retired makes no difference to the amount of free time that you have. A strange fact but possibly true, I guess it just means you need to manage your free time better than being a slave to Work's time.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.
