    I must be getting old.............

    I have to wear my reading glasses to make sure I have cleaned the house properly.

    I go upstairs and forget what I'm there for.

    Have started sounding like my Nan.

    Doctors look so young

    I feel the cold so much more than I used to .

    I wear sensible shoes in the snow.

    Only need 4 or 5 hours sleep.

    In this cold weather the toilet is my best friend.

    And I ache, O do I ache

    So thats my eyes mind bladder and joints
    What else is there I have to look forward to .............:dh: :o :lollol:

    I'm reminded of Colin Welland the actor/writer.

    I can remember when I was in my thirties, he was being interviewed on the radio.
    He said; "When you reach forty, when you wake up in the morning, the first thing you do is contemplate suicide."
    I've never felt quite like that, but I know what he meant.

    hi Lyn "must be getting old?" Welcome to the club,
    (1 )Reading glasses to clean the house?, i have a daughter who is 35 years old and wears her glasses to clean the house. i have another two and they ( should )wear glasses as their house is a wee bit dusty ,and they are too proud to wear glasses.
    (2) go upstairs and forget what you are there for. i have went upstairs ,came back down thinking i have forgotten to take something up from downstairs and ponder for a while thinking (what the hell is it?) have a cup of tea look at a paper , relax.
    it could not have been that important anyway. kids are still playing ,sun still shining.
    (3) started sounding like your nan? a common occurrence .this is a common occurrence in men also. i was having a shave a few days ago when my wife asked me if i wanted a cup of coffee,i answered her "yes" but the voice was my dads. i was shaving my chin when i answered my head was tilted back. but it was strange.

    i will write some more later ( as i am going up to bed, or is it down?) dont worry about it music.:gnthb:

    Jings Lyn, I think we all have so much in commom and every time I look in the mirror I think I look more like my Mother.
    But it's swings and roundabouts - I don't have to go anywhere I don't want to go or do anything I don't want to do. I just enjoy the good bits and ignore the rest.

    The worst thing about getting old is unexpectedly catching sight of yourself as a reflection in an angled shop window.

    I cleared a path in the snow on our drive with a shovel this morning, It's about the most exercise I've had in a couple of weeks. That was enough! It's gonna do for exercise for another couple of weeks.

    I've tri-focal glasses, but to "see anything" closer than three feet I have to take them off.

    I am sitting here in stitches at this thread..and I thought it was only me :lollol:
    Doghouse-I know what you mean about catching sight of yourself in a shop window!
    Music the shaving part of your thread is soooo funny.
    Alice I look a lot like my mother but as my sis and I have aged (only 18 months between us] we look so alike that when I showed a new pic to my parents they thought it was my sis so I had to come clean :D

    Dare I add the "hair growth" losing it where you want to keep it and growing it where you definitely don't want it!!! :lollol:

    Keep the laughs coming in on this snowy day.
