Some positive points of Ageing
I saw a few ideas today on the positive side of getting older -
1. You're less concerned about holding your stomach in.
2. You can finally buy comfortable shoes.
3. Your children take YOU out to dinner.
4. Your secrets are safe with your friends, because they won't remember.
5. Your children don't expect big presents.
6. You can retire!
True ey?

Re: Some positive points of Ageing
Oh yes, I saw your picture of those big drawers.I've never worn anything like that, I'm sure I couldn't breathe with them on! Also, not sure if it would improve my love life or finish it off.
Wouldn't it be easier to just find a nice dress or whatever that discreetly hides any dodgy bits?

I found these! Mups
You can sleep anytime or anywhere, maybe.
You can drive slow and not be honked at or shot at, maybe.
You can forget to zip up and nobody cares, maybe.
You can reread books and magazines because by the time you get to the end you have forgotten the beginning.
Soup stains don't bother you anymore.
Every day is a holiday.
You're able to buy the early-bird special and get a senior citizen's discount on other things.
People are mostly polite to you even if you are ornery.
If you forget something, it's thought you're having a senior citizen moment.
You remember the good stuff and forget the bad.
If the noise next door bothers you, you can take out your hearing aid.
The doctors and nurses are always understanding and nice.
