I am old now for sure....

I guess I know I am offically old now. Today in my email box was an add about what gift to get for that special person in your life or for yourself. It was those mobil chairs for people who can't walk, walkers, portable toilets and reclining chairs at lift you forward and help you to get out into a standing position.
Well I'm happy to report I'm not in need of that yet, but darned if I ever got those kind of offers before. I guess that proves I'm old and it came from my health care center that my doctor belongs to. Geeze. I'm suprissed they didn't include a suicide kit incase I feel I'm too old of any of the above produts....

That would be a gift as much as they cost. Wish Santa leave one under my tree. I don't consider myself old, but, when I go out of the house anymore since I fell last March , I need a cane or wheelchair to walk distance.
Last week I went to the grocery store and my daughterinlaw had me use a motorized cart, it was fun trying to get thru the store aisle's with people & carts , you need to take a driving course. Sad part about it my 4 1/2 yr old grandson took over and did great. He is use to driveing his little motorized trucks around the back yard, so he got me backed up & thru the store just fine.

I always knew it meant i would be getting old when my age group came up for those life insurance adds....the ones that start out with....if you were born between the year of such and such and such and such you are eligible for whatever amount of life insurance etc etc.....my year finally came up....so that means i finally made it middle aged-plus.

I liked that depends add which the good looking white haired man tells you how protective and private depends are and then says, In fact I'm urinating right now but you wouldn't even know that had I not told you.....Oh wait a minute I think I made that one up sorry....

See. there are advantages to getting old. We could use those depends even if we don't have a pee problem. Imagine talking to a neighbor with a straight face while you know that you are peeing...or shopping and not needed to look for a rest room, why you could be taking a pee while checking out the green beans. Who's going to know? Anyone here want to try it and report back?

Well I just had my 70th birthday and my body is trying to tell me I am old but I am TRYING to ignore it.

I've thought about using one of the drive yourself carts in the grocery. My knees hurt pretty bad by the time I finish shopping. But I don't dare try to drive one unless I practice first. There doesn't seem to be any way you can do that. They need to set up a practice area.

Yeah, they forget not only we can't walk but most of us can't see or hear either. Besides if they have us in those things riding around knocking shoppers down they better hope we have our depends on....
