I found this timely, because today I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses.
A young lady walks over to me and asks, "what brings you in today?"
I looked at her, and said, I'm interested in buying a refrigerator.
She didn't quite know how to respond.
Am I getting to be that age?
I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So I'm wearing my garage door opener.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.
I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it.
I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age and call it 'Pumping Rust'.
When people see a cat's litter box they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!
'Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'An ambulance.'
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me. They were cramming for their finals. As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.
Birds of a feather flock together ........and then crap on your car.
The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble..
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs...
'Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.
Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
 
Many of the items on the list remind me of the older generation, many of whom are now gone.
 
A store that just sells sunglasses? now that is cool.Spatula City.

I have been meaning to check out myself................................... Spatula City

I guess there is a sign off the main road, so you can't miss it. So I am told.

Ahhh may the Lord richly bless you young lady!
 
And after you shop at Spatula City, kick back, relax....and enjoy the half-hour game show of "Wheel of Fish", then watch to see if Earl Anthony is victorious in the half-hour program "Bowling For Burgers" !
 
Just remember there were reasons that the length of years was moved from 120 to 70. We get to encourage each other.
I think I need a poster: Isaiah 55:7 and Hebrews 3:13 for my flesh.

The only times I feel old is when I see my age next to my name on some document.
 
My MIL says that Doctors seem to be younger and younger
 
The next time I go to a store that only sells one type of item I am going to ask them if they have refrigerators.
 
Your mind is retired when you find your car keys and one of your shoes in the refrigerator. So I guess I am done.

Everyone seems younger, especially the cops. I see them here and say to myself "Wasn't he 8 years old and playing the back yard with the kids, just yesterday?"

I remember the day my daughter and I watched as my MIL took about 5 minutes to back out of our drive...right over the flower bed and taking out the mailbox. Now I worry about that myself.
