Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you, too.
Don't laugh....  It is all true!
 
  Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60
And heading towards 70 or beyond!
 
1.  Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
 
  2.  In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first. 
 
  3.  No one expects you to run  -- anywhere.
 
4.  People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM) and ask,
'Did I wake you?'
 
5.  People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
 
6.  There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
 
7.  Things you buy now won't wear out.
 
8.  You can eat supper at 4 PM.
 
9.  You can live without sex but not your glasses.
 
10.  You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
 
11.  You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
 
12.  You quit trying to hold
your stomach in no matter who walks
into the room. 
 
13.  You sing along with elevator music.
 
14.  Your eyes won't get much worse.
 
15.  Your investment in health insurance
is finally beginning to pay off.
 
16.  Your joints are more accurate meteorologists
than the national weather service.
 
17.  Your secrets are safe with your friends
because they can't remember them either.
 
18.  Your supply of brain cells is finally down to
a manageable size. 
 
19.  You can't remember who sent you this list.
 
 
And you notice these are all in big print
for your convenience. 
 
Forward this to everyone you can remember
right now!

 AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Never, NEVER, NEVER,
under any circumstances,
take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on
the same night!
