Not sure where this originated from but reader Erik Andersen sent it along.
TWELVE RULES FOR SENIORS………
#1 – Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice.
#2 – “In Style” are the clothes that still fit.
#3 – You don’t need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off.
#4 – Your people skills are just fine. It’s your tolerance for idiots that needs work.
#5 – The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don’t need to write that down. I’ll remember it.”
#6 – “On time” is when you get there.
#7 – Even duct tape can’t fix stupid, but it sure does muffle the sound..
#8 – Put yourself in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller.
#9 – Notice that people your own age are now so much older than you.
#10 – Growing old would have taken longer if a senior had designed the system.
#11 – Aging may slow you down, but it won’t shut you up.
#12 – Never act your age and stay happy.

Some seniors can’t count, others forget what they’re doing halfway through a job.

I think the other five got put somewhere safe but no-one remembers where that was.

I would say keep fighting, keep tilting at windmills and do not be afraid to tell people what you really think.

The aging process is similar to the boiling frog concept illustrated in Norm’s previous article.

“don’t be afraid to tell people what you really think”
is that like not having much of a filter?
On the upside when people then say, they’ll never talk to you again, you’re going to have a much more pleasant life and lets remember, never isn’t such a long time if you’re already into your 70s.
