When all your friends got their
hair cut at the kitchen table.
When nearly everyone's mom was
at home when the kids got there.
When nobody owned a pure-bred
dog.
When a dime was a decent allowance,

When they threatened to keep
kids back a grade if they
failed...and did!

Subj: Being
Diagnosed With AAADD (S238, S523)
From: JBCARY1 on 8/20/2001
and
From: jbcary1 on 1/19/2007
(Also see "Age-Activated
Attention Deficit Disorder" in Elderly3-Supp)
Now I have an excuse! This also applies to the work world!
I just wanted to let you know
that I recently was diagnosed
with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated
Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the
driveway, I look over at my car
and decide my car needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice that there is mail on
the porch table that I brought
up from the mailbox earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys down on the
table, put the junk mail in the
garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills
back on the table and take out
the garbage first.
But then I think, since I'm going
to be near the mailbox when
I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills
first.
I take my checkbook off the table,
and see that there is only
one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk
in the study, so I go inside
the house to my desk where I
find the can of Coke that I had
been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the
Coke aside so that I don't accidentally
knock it over. I
realize the Coke is getting
warm, and I decide I should put
it in the refrigerator to keep
it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen
with the Coke, a vase of flowers
on the counter catches my eye--they
need to be watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter,
and I discover my reading
glasses that I've been searching
for all morning.
I decide I better put them back
on my desk, but first I'm
going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on
the counter, fill a container
with water and suddenly I spot
the TV remote. Someone left
it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we
go to watch TV, I will be
looking for the remote, but
I won't remember that it's on
the kitchen table, so I decide
to put it back in the den
where it belongs, but first
I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it
spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down
on the table, get some towels
and wipe up the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying
to remember what I was
planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the driveway is flooded
the car isn't washed,
the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
there is still only one check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then when I try to figure out
why nothing got done
today, I'm really baffled because
I know I was busy
all day long, and I'm really
tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to
get some help for it, but first
I'll check my e-mail.
Do me a favor, will you?
Forward this message to
everyone you know, because I
don't remember who I have
sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

Subj: Old
Is Just A State Of Mind? (S95)
From: auntieg on 98-11-21
Maybe it's true that life begins
at fifty. But everything
else starts to
fall out, or spread out.
There are three signs of old
age. The first is your loss of
memory, the other
two I forget.
You're getting old when you
don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long you
don't have to go along.
Middle age is when work is a
lot less fun - and fun a lot
more work.
Statistics show that at the
age of seventy, there are five
women to every
man. Isn't that the darndest time for a
guy to get those
odds?
You know you're getting on in
years when the girls
at the office start
confiding in you.
Middle age is when it takes
longer to rest than to get tired.
By the time a man is wise enough
to watch his step,
he's too old to
go anywhere.
Middle age is when you have
stopped growing at both ends,
and have begun
to grow in the middle.
Of course I'm against sin; I'm
against anything that
I'm too old to
enjoy.
A man has reached middle age
when he is cautioned to
slow down by his
doctor instead of by the police.
Middle age is having a choice
of two temptations and
choosing the one
that will get you home earlier.
Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older,
it will avoid you.
You know you're into middle
age when you realize that
caution is the
only thing you care to exercise.
To older folks, "getting a little
action" means they don't
need to take a
laxative.
The aging process could be slowed
down if it had to work
its way through
Congress.
You're getting old when getting
lucky means
you find your car
in the parking lot.
You're getting old when you're
sitting in a rocker
and you can't get
it started.
You're getting old when your
wife gives up sex for Lent,
and you don't know
till the 4th of July.
You're getting old when you
wake up with that morning-after
feeling, and you
didn't do anything the night before.
The cardiologist's diet to help
you live longer:
if it tastes good,
spit it out.
Doctor to patient: I have good
news and bad news:
the good news is
that you are not a hypochondriac.
It's hard to be nostalgic when
you can't remember anything.
You know you're getting old
when you stop buying green bananas.
Last Will and Testament: Being of sound mind, I spent all my money.

Subj: You
Know You're Getting Older When: (S201)
From: Joke-Of-The-Day.com on 12/3/2000
and
From: pns on 6/8/2001
You and your teeth don't sleep
together.
Your try to straighten out the
wrinkles in your socks
and discover you
aren't wearing any.
At the breakfast table you hear
snap, crackle, pop and
you're not eating
cereal.
Your back goes out, but you
stay home.
When you wake up looking like
your driver's license picture.
It takes two tries to get up
from the couch.
When your idea of a night out
is sitting on the patio.
When happy hour is a nap.
When you're on vacation, and
your ENERGY runs out before
your money does.
When you say something to your
kids that your mother said
to you, and you
always hated it.
When all you want for your birthday
is to not be reminded
of your age.
When you step off a curb and
look down one more time to
make sure the street
is still there.
Your idea of weight lifting
is standing up.
It takes longer to rest than
it did to get tired.
Your memory is shorter and your
complaining lasts longer.
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 merely
a reflection from the
sun on your bifocals.
It takes twice as long - to
look half as good.
Everything hurts, and what doesn't
hurt - doesn't work.
You look for your glasses for
half an hour, and
they were on your
head the whole time.
You sink your teeth into a steak
- and they stay there.
You give up all your bad habits
and still don't feel good.
You have more patience, but
it is actually that
you just don't
care anymore.
You finally get your head together
and your body
starts falling
apart.
You wonder how you could be
over the hill when
you don't even
remember being on top of it.
Your sweetie says, "Let's go
upstairs and make love," and
you answer, "Honey,
I can't do both!"
Your friends compliment you
on your new alligator shoes
and you're barefoot.
A sexy babe catches your fancy
and your pacemaker
opens the garage
door.
You don't care where your spouse
goes, just as long as
you don't have
to go along.
You are cautioned to slow down
by the doctor instead
of by the police.
"Getting a little action" means,
"I don't need to take any
fiber today."
"Getting lucky" means you find
your car in the parking lot.
An "all nighter" means not getting
up to pee!
From: other sources

resisting temptation.
After painting the town red,
you have to take a long rest
before applying
a second coat.
Dialing long distance wears
you out.
You're startled the first time
you are addressed as an old timer.
You just can't stand people
who are intolerant.
The best part of your day is
over when your alarm clock goes off.
You burn the midnight oil until
9 pm.
Your back goes out more often
than you do.
A fortune teller offers to read
your face.
The little grey haired lady
you help across the street
is your wife.
You have too much room in the
house and not enough room
in the medicine
cabinet.

Subj: Age
Is A Funny Thing (S259b, S645b)
From: Cypriot on 1/11/2002
and
From: tom on 5/18/2009
Source: http://www.snopes.com/glurge/aging.asp
From "The Aging Process" By George Carlin
Do you realize that the only
time in our lives when we like
to get old is when we're kids?
If you're less than 10 years
old, you're so excited about
aging that you think in fractions.
How old are you? --- I'm 4 and
half --- You're never 36 and a
half --- you're 4 and a half
going on 5!
That's the key. You get
into your teens, now they can't hold
you back. You jump to
the next number. How old are you?
I'm gonna be 16. You could
be 12, but you're gonna be 16.
And then the greatest day of
your life happens ... you become
21! You see, even the
words sound like a ceremony ... you
BECOME 21 ... YES!!!!
But then you turn 30 ... ooohhh
what happened there?? Makes
you sound like bad milk ...
He TURNED, we had to throw him
out. There's no fun now.
What's wrong?? What changed???
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
then you're PUSHING 40 ... stay
over there, it's all
slipping away ...
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're
PUSHING 40, you REACH 50
... my dreams are gone ...
And then, you BECOME 21, you
TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you
REACH 50 and then you MAKE IT
to 60 ... I didn't think I'd
make it.
And then, you BECOME 21, you
TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you
REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60,
... by then you build up so
much speed ... you HIT 70!!!!!
After that, it's a day by day
thing. After that you HIT
Wednesday ... you get into your
80's, you HIT lunch. You
TURN 4:30. My grandmother
won't even buy green bananas.
"Well it's an investment, you
know, and maybe a bad one."
And it doesn't end there.
Into the 90's, you start going
backwards ... I was JUST 92.
Then a strange thing happens,
if you make it over 100, you
become a little kid again ...
I'm 100 and a half!!!!!
This is a nice article, but it
was NOT written by George Carlin.

Subj: Retirement
(S28)
From: Yzmir's HUMOR LISTS Updated 5/22/1997
My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out.
What used to be my sex appeal,
Is now my water spout.
Time was when of its own accord
From my trousers it would spring
no more,
But now I have a fulltime job
To find the BLASTED thing!
It used to be embarrassing,
The way it would behave,
For every single morning,
It would stand and watch me
shave.
As old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues,
To see it hang its withered
head,
And watch me tie my shoes.

Subj: Poem
About Forgetting (S220b)
From: RFSlick on 4/16/2001
My forgetter's getting better
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny but,
To me, that is no joke
For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it
through,
I haven't got a prayer!
Oft times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in
vain
A zero, is my score.
At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone,
Say "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks
away
I ask myself, "who's that?"
Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.
Don't forget to laugh!

Seuss On The Golden Years (S282)
From: pns on 6/25/2002
I cannot see
I cannot pee
I cannot chew
I cannot screw
Oh My God What can I do
My memory shrinks
My hearing stinks
No sense of smell
I look like hell!
My mood is bad--can you tell?
My body's drooping
Have trouble pooping
The Golden Years have come at
last
The Golden Years can kiss my
ass.

Subj: Retirement
Thru The Eyes Of A Child (S213, S627b)
From: gheckman on 3/2/2001
and
From: ginafm on 1/12/2009
Retirement in a trailer park thru the eyes of a child
After a spring break, a teacher
asked her young pupils how
they spent the holidays.
One child wrote the following:
"We always used to spend the
holidays with Grandma and
Grandpa. They used to
live here in a big brick house, but
Grandpa got retarded and they
moved to Arizona.
Now they live in a place with
a lot of other retarded people.
They live in a tin box and have
rocks painted green to look
like grass. They ride
around on big tricycles and wear name
tags because they don't know
who they are anymore.
They go to a building called
a wrecked center, but they must
have got it fixed, because it
is all right now. They play
games and do exercises there,
but they don't do them very well.
There is a swimming pool too,
but they all jump up and down in
it with their hats on.
I guess they don't know how to swim.
At their gate, there is a doll
house with a little old man
sitting in it. He watches
all day so nobody can escape.
Sometimes they sneak out.
Then they go cruising in their golf
carts.
My Grandma used to bake cookies
and stuff, but I guess she
forgot how. Nobody there
cooks, they just eat out. And they
eat the same thing every night,
"Early Birds". Some of the
people can't get past the man
in the doll house to go out.
So the ones who do get out bring
food back to the wrecked
center and call it pot luck.
My Grandma says Grandpa's worked
all his life to earn his
retardment and says I should
work hard so I can be retarded
some day too. When I earn
my retardment I want to be the
man in the doll house.
Then I will let people out so they
can visit their grandchildren.'

Subj: The
Senility Prayer And Discoveries (S178)
From: gheckman on 6/29/00
God grant me the Senility to
forget the people I never liked
anyway, the good fortune to
run into the ones that I do, and
the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now that I'm older, here's what
I've discovered:
1. I started out with
nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats have
turned into prunes and All Bran.
3. I finally got my head
together; now my body is falling
apart.
4. Funny, I don't remember
being absent minded...
5. All reports are in;
Life is now officially unfair.
6. If all is not lost,
where is it?
7. It is easier to get
older than it is to get wiser.
8. Some days you're the
dog; some days you're the hydrant.
9. I wish the buck stopped
here; I sure could use a few...
10. Kids in the back seat cause
accidents.
11. Accidents in the back seat
cause...kids.
12. It's hard to make a comeback
when you haven't been anywhere.
13. Only time the world beats
a path to your door is when
you're in
the bathroom.
14. If God wanted me to touch
my toes, he would have put
them on my
knees.
15. When I'm finally holding
all the cards, why does
everyone
decide to play chess?
16. It's not hard to meet expenses...they're
everywhere.
17. The only difference between
a rut and a grave is the depth.
18. These days, I spend a lot
of time thinking about the
hereafter...I
go somewhere to get something, and then
wonder what
I'm here after.

Subj: Thoughts
On Aging (S172)
From: collins2 on 5/17/00
1. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
2. I have found at my age going
bra-less pulls all the wrinkles
out of my
face.
3. You're getting old when you
don't care where your spouse
goes, just
as long as you don't have to go along.
4. Statistics show that at the
age of seventy, there are five
women to
every man. Isn't that an ironic time for a guy to
have those
odds?
5. Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.
6. By the time a man is wise
enough to watch his step, he's too
old to go
anywhere.
7. It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.
8. You're getting old when your
wife gives up sex for lent,
and you don't
know until the 4th of July.
9. You're getting old when "getting
lucky" means you found
your car
in the parking lot.
10. At my age "getting a little
action" means I don't need to
take a laxative.
11. Middle age is having the
choice of two temptations and
choosing
the one that will get you home earlier.
12. Laughing helps, it's like jogging on the inside.
13. Middle age is when you chose
the cereal for the fiber,
not the toy.
14. If you can remain calm, you don't have all the facts.
15. Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
16. Inside some of us there is
a skinny person struggling
to get out,
but he/she can usually be sedated with a
few pieces
of chocolate cake.
17. The older you get the tougher
it is to lose weight.
Because by
then your body and your fat are really,
really good
friends.
18. Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
19. Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes it comes alone.
20. To all my ageless friends......just keep fighting.
From: Giggles ? Grins (S403b)
At: igiggle@aol.com on 9/24/2004
When you're young you just want
to set the world on fire. Then
you get older and just want
to live close to the fire department.
