    Facts About Growing Older

    Nine Important Facts to Remember as You Grow Older

    #9 Death is the number one killer in the world.

    #8 Life is sexually transmitted.

    #7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

    #6 Men have two motivations: hunger and hanky panky. They cannot tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

    #5 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

    #4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

    #3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    #2 In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.

    #1 Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.

    Add this to the mix: Growing old is vastly over rated.
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    And when you wake up in the morning, if it works, it hurts.

    Getting lucky means finding a quarter in the couch, and happy hour is a nap.

    You chase the wife around the house naked for half an hour and when you catch her you forgot why.... and she forgets why she was running.

    You believe in the hereafter... You walk into a roiom and wonder what you are in here after.

    Don't let that slide, Mac. I had both of my eyes "done" at the Temple VA and it's so nice to see the world clearly again. They did one eye and when it was all healed and fully working they did the second one. The procedure is painless and after the surgery there is a little discomfort (kind of like a piece of sand in the eye) for a day or so. Because the lenses are fixed focus, you may have to wear some "readers" to read the KDH but I can see 10 pt print with no difficulty. Your wife will have to suffer a little because she has to sit there while they work on you and then she has to drive you home because you will still be under the influence of those wonderful drugs that put you mostly out during the surgery. They don't put you all the way under except when they deaden the eye because you may have to move your eye for them. Shucks, I'm sad that I only have two eyes. I would kind of like to go through that surgery again.

    I was terrified when doctor told me that i needed cataract surgery because my vision was no longer correctable with glasses. I told him I really didn't want the surgery and he told me that I would be losing my driver's license in short order because I had a fast growing kind of cataracts. I second everything Ludwig said...worst part was having to wear a patch over my eye while I was sleeping...felt weird. Still have to wear glasses but I couldn't get over how bright and colorful the world was. Very glad I had to have it done.

    Smart. Don't let them do both eyes in the same month.

    My dad said the worst part was having to put drops in his eyes every three hours for two weeks.
    And that he couldn't work. (He is a hyperactive workaholic, even at 80+ years)
    I don't mind being called far right.
    I have been right so far.

    Yeah, but growing old sure beats the alternative.
