But, still as stewards of them, we should do our best to sustain them in good condition.
Amen! My final answer- WHOLE FOODS (organic if you can afford it) BURN OFF MORE THAN YOU TAKE IN. Works for me :)

You know you're getting old when:



1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.

2. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and
discover you aren't wearing any.

3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're
not eating cereal.

4. Your back goes out but you stay home.

5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture.

6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.

7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

8. When happy hour is a nap.

9. When you're on vacation and your energy runs out before your
money does..

10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to
you and you always hated it.

11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of
your age.

12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make
sure the street is still there.

13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.

14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

15. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.

16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.

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

18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

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

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

21. It takes twice as long - to look half as good.

22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.

23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on
your head the whole time.

24. You sink your teeth into a steak - and they stay there.

25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good.

26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't
care anymore.

27. You finally get your head together and your body starts
falling apart.

28. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even
remember being on top of it.

Just found this thread this morning, Really needed a good laugh! It worked!! Thanks. found it at the time it was needed! Be Blessed

i say the MSM seems to want to reinforce this pov with a vengeance, and i would avoid it strenuously imo. All of those funny things are completely self-inflicted, i mean every single one, and all are completely curable too imo
Lol.. yeahhh, pork chops, prawns and pavlova will take the edge off any aspiring thinker :)

Moses was 120 and still climbing mountains. I wonder whether being in Gods presence had something to do with it, after all, his face glowed when he returned to camp

I've often wondered about the age span going from hundreds of years old to the below verse. It had to be the Spirit of God and His presence because, they all seem to have lived onto the hundreds of years
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." Psalm 90:10

You're getting old/ancient when;

You cant find a replacement for your Prince Albert coat.

You say I'm not forgetful knock on wood as you knock on the table to demonstrate. Two minutes later you say I'll see who that is at the door.

You can't do anything that's not deja vu.

You realize that by going to bed at eight o'clock you won't miss a thing.

Rocking out means a night of listening to DeBussy and Chopin while in your rocking chair.

You have to ask someone to help you get your rocking chair started.

You're taking a nap and someone comes every so often to check your pulse.

You're plagued daily with calls wanting you to buy a prearrangement plan.

You have to install a larger medicine cabinet

You mix alphabet soup and laxitive and call it letter rip.

A good laugh. Thumb.gif

Though on the days my heart is playing up on me...if I am asleep my husband does say...Hey, are you asleep or have you gone?" :D
So I had an extra chuckle at the 'pulse checking ' while napping.

You know you're getting old when you pee half as much but twice as often.
You know you're getting old when you pass a public convenience and think to yourself, "might as well".
You know you're getting old when your grand-children ask you what was it like riding in a chariot.
