Top 10 'Signs Of Old Age' by Raytheon1
Oh lord, I got up this morning and my bones were poppin' so loud that I thought somebody was doing a 'driveby! Proceeded to the bathroom to shave and discovered all this lint on my face. Upon trying desperately to wipe it off discovered it wasn't lint, but rather 'white whiskers' I came to the startling realization...you're gettin' old buddy! Well I guess its bound to happen to all of us sooner or later, although most hope for later! I put together this humorous look at the physical travesty inflicted upon our bodies, hope you enjoy it! :) See you later, I've got to find my 'Geritol!'
Now.....umm....what was I going to say? Oh, had a 'Senior Moment' there. Anyway I hope that brought a smile to your day! Although we joke around about 'old age' senior citizens deserve our utmost respect as they're the ones that have paved the way for us. It's something we all most face, hopefully when that time approaches we can do it with 'dignity and grace!' :) Gotta go rub down with 'Icy Hot' see you later after ny nap!

While the poem is actually more concerned with death than growing old, there are lessons there to be learned that also apply to becoming elderly. For example, the opening line is as follows: "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at the close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
My point (actually Dylan Thomas's point) is we should not just accept 'growing old' and slink off to a corner to die. Instead, we should "rage, rage against the dying of the light."
I interpret that to mean we should live life with gusto right up until the last minute. No excuses. No apologies.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I wish you many more years of life, and with your sense of humor, I know even the bad things will be taken as something you can get through with a laugh and an " oh, well, stuff happens."
Best of everything to ya.

I can understand everything you are saying, with the possible exception of LBJ, I wouldn't put either suggested name to that, I would be trying to work out some new acronym that my kids use to keep me out of the converstion.
Think positive. Vinyl is making a comeback, grey hair is favoured by lots of women, falling alseep, just make it official and call it siesta.
As I quickly approach 67 I am even more determined to go out kicking and screeming. My life consists of attractive women, intersting travel, shiny new motorcycles, good food, good wine and an unswerving devotion to not letting my years catch up with my age!!!
Age I have found brings on benefits undrempt of when I was younger so there is hope for you yet Raytheon.
Back When by Tim McGraw
Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore
We've gotten too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
I love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations
The ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll
What happened to those times?
I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
Give me a flat top for strumming
I want the whole world a humming
Who just keep it coming
The way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
bending over can no longer be performed without "grunting"
I can no longer put my knickers on without sitting down or holding on to a wall.
and the worst?.......I can now feel "draughts"!!
And to the lady who mentioned cassette tapes, I used to use 8-track tapes.
