Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh as apparently it is all true...

If your not over 50, print this and save till you are....

Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!

01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

03. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

04. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

07. Things you buy now won't wear out

08. You can eat supper at 4 pm.

09. 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 posted this list...

And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.


And never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative
on the same night.

20. Your idea of a good social interaction is reading the labels on cans in supermarkets.

Yeah, right.... I can name one thing that you cant do....you never played your bouzouki the other night. I take it you need to prestidigitate which you no longer have :lol: or perhaps it was the wine. When exactly did you begin to drink Milti? :lol:

My grandfather who lived in the mountainous village of Theletra in Paphos , like most villagers of his generation , made his own wine , so I first took my first...step as it were in crushing the grapes jumping up and down in sheer delight , it wasnt long before I tasted a sip or two , red wine the gift of the gods !!
