    Thoughts from the older generation.
    Another forwarded e-mail. Enjoy. And for those who have seen this before, I apologize in advance!:D


    -----------------------------------------
    A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
    "Is it true," she wanted to know,
    "that the medication you prescribed has
    to be taken for the rest of my life?"

    "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.

    There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,

    "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
    because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS.'"

    -----------------------------------------

    An older gentleman was on the operating table
    Awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son,
    A renowned surgeon, perform the operation.

    As he was about to get the anesthesia
    He asked to speak to his son.

    "Yes, Dad, what is it?"

    "Don't be nervous, son;
    do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
    if something happens to me, your mother is going to come
    and live with you and your wife...."

    -------------------------------- ---------

    Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you
    Stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

    ------------------------------------------

    The older we get, the fewer things seem
    Worth waiting in line for.

    ------------------------------------------

    Some people try to turn back their odometers.
    Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
    I've traveled a long way and some of the
    Roads weren't paved.

    --------------------------------------------

    When you are dissatisfied and would
    Like to go back to youth,
    Think of Algebra.

    ---------------------------------------------

    You know you are getting old when everything
    Either dries up or leaks.

    ----------------------------------------------

    I don't know how I got over the hill
    Without getting to the top.

    ----------------------------------------------

    One of the many things no one tells you about aging
    Is that it is such a nice change from being young.

    ----------------------------------------------

    Ah, being young is beautiful,
    But being old is comfortable.

    -----------------------------------------------

    First you forget names, then you forget faces.
    Then you forget to pull up your zipper.
    It's worse when you forget to pull it down.

    -------------------------------------------

    Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground
    With sticks, it was called witchcraft.
    Today, it's called golf.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

    Lord,
    Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth... AMEN..!

    I did this 2 years ago. Ummm, I don't think the algebra I had in my youth is the same algebra used today.:eek:

    I think you are right J_9. When I looked at my nephews' math work a few years ago, I was a bit lost. I actually was pretty good at algebra in my youth. When I hit geometry and trig, I was a lost. All the memorization was a problem for me.
