    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



    These brought me a smile. And Peter Falk fucking rocked!

    Nice to see other Peter Falk fans (but who isn't, right!).
    I really liked his book a lot. Great stories from a fascinating life of one very cool guy:

    You don't recognize ANY of the music they are playing on the New Year's musical fireworks montage...
    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.

    You wear socks to bed in the winter.
    I always turned Columbo off. Couldn't stand the character. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    ...when you've had your first colonoscopy and the doc reminds you that you were years over due to do this. Oh, gee, that was fun. I can't wait to do it again! Noooooooot!

    When you begin to shrink.

    On another forum, a member started a thread called "How tall are you?" Silly topic, or so I thought until I measured myself. I used to be five ten and a half. At nearly 65 years of age I am now five- ten even.

    Ahh ohh... :lol:
