...have way too much room in the house, and not nearly enough in the medicine cabinet.

...people call you at 9pm, they ask, "Did I wake you?"

...the little gray-haired lady that you help across the street is your wife.

...the pharmacist becomes your new best friend.

...you are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of the police.

...you don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.

...you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.

...you quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

...you sink your teeth into a nice juicy steak ...and they stay there.

...your best friend is dating someone half their age, and isn't breaking any laws.

...your little black book only contains names ending in M.D.

...your new easy chair has more options than your car.

...you and your teeth don't sleep together.

...you look for your glasses for a half an hour, and then find that they were on your head all the time.

...getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.

...the twinkle in your eye turns out to be the reflection of the sun on your bifocals.

nice.....thanks, donna, and thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday.....as dave barry once famously stated, there comes a time in a man's life when he should stop making a big deal about birthdays, and that time is age 7.

You are very resourceful, grasshopper....very resourceful indeed.

Thank you.

thank you.....told little monkey boy that it's actually tomorrow, as then we can go to chuck e. cheeses for it. As he's three and has the attention span of a gnat on no-doz, he can't even remember what he had for breakfast, so I'm not that worried about him thinking my birthday is a day off.

besides, he gets to go see the giant rat, so all is cool in his world.

I thought I remember some story where you've been wearing those clothes for years....don't try to blame it on old age now

Have a Great Day and a fun time at Chuckie's tommorow

yeah yeah yeah.....(note to self: hannah has a REALLY good memory).....but that's for a different reason; now I'm married, I can wear what I want when I want.

It's the combo of the coot attitude with the plaid shorts and knee high white socks I'm looking forward to......
