What a hoot. You made me snort. My favorite is the brain cells...
ReplyDeleteSheesh, I feel most of these and I'm not even 50 yet. Does that make me an overacheiver?

I'm 54 and most of those are true. The rest are probably true, too, but I'm in denial. Oh, and the whole "brain cells dying off" thing? I prefer to think of it as mental exfoliation.
ReplyDelete"mental exfoliation." I LOVE that, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment!!
Are you over 50 or over 70??? The people that I know who are over 50 are still running, taking computer classes, care about what they look like and definitely eat dinner well after 4 in the afternoon. While I understand your comment about the glasses, I’m not sure I want to live without sex!!! My body isn’t doing what it did when I was 30, but my mind certainly is! I’ll be swinging into my 60’s and 70’s!!!
