Getting Old
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
"How old was your husband?"
"98," she replied. "Two years older than me."
"So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded,
"Hardly worth going home, is it?

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?"
the reporter asked. She simply replied,
"No peer pressure."

I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought
prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take
40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with
dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85
or 92. Have lost all my friends.
But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
