    Whoa! I didn't know that about Ms Winslet.
    Yeah, she got a royal honor 3 years ago.

    Who?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    At family functions I used to ALWAYS get off the furniture and sit on the floor for any older family members if there were not enough seats.

    Now, I ALWAYS get to sit on the furniture and even occasionally get to have a younger kid move for me.

    When you go food shopping, pick up two of something because it's a good deal, get home and realize you already have two of the same item, one still unopened. Let's just say I have enough plastic wrap to last me a long ass time. :blush:

    I have to make a list. If I don't make a list I wander around the store and buy all the same stuff I already have at home. it's very sad.
    Same here. I have to write everything down. Sometimes when I get up for something across the room I think I should fly notes over there to remind myself of why I got up to go there in the first place. :lol:
    I make it into a game. If I forgot why I got up, it usually takes me about an hour to figure out, and then shazaam I remember it. It's kindof cool when I remember it. Sometimes I want to forget stuff to see how long it takes me to remember :)

    This is what I do for fun as I grow older.

    Haha! I like the idea of making a game out of it. I also like the idea that if a messy desk is the sign of a busy person, a messy forgetful mind is the sign of a person with a lot going on. :wink:

    the print is so small and you cant physically contort yourself to get close enough to read the product size on the price tag on the bottom shelf so you have to take a picture and then zoom in

    Eating steak is no longer an option because you don't have the energy to chew that much

    You don't drive or answer the phone after 5pm

    You start giving your belongings away to others

    The new vacuum cleaner on paid programming only cost 3 easy payments of $49.99 so you just HAD to have it

    You never have to carry anything heavy ever again

    You stop getting carded

    You get to go home from any family function by simply saying you're tired or you don't feel well

    You start crossing out the dead people in your address book

    Want to watch Columbo instead of The Walking Dead...all fairness, I'll watch Columbo until TWD comes on, then I'll flip back to Columbo every 5 minutes when a commercial comes on

    Columbo is the greatest and doesn't mean you're old if you watch it!
