Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure." The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs. Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home is it?" I've sure gotten old. I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement and new knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine and take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation ... hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license. An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be buried at Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week." My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out. I've still got it .. but nobody wants to see it. I'm getting into swing dancing. Not on purpose. Some parts of my body are just prone to swinging. It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker. These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief." Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up. Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old ... You grow old because you stop laughing. Now, I think you're supposed to send this to 5 or 6, maybe 10 ... oh heck, send it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are! MAY YOU ALWAYS FEEL GODS LOVE !!
