What bothers YOU the MOST about getting OLD?

[Smokin Joe]

This may not be true for everyone, but so many of the significant people in my life have already passed. So, being without them is the worst part, although I did vote for watching my country fall apart.

I have outlived all of my enemies, but also far too many of those I hold dear.

I remember dialing just six numbers on a rotary phone, little juke boxes on the tables of a Thrifty Drug Store and paying five cents for a scoop of ice cream, Montgomery Wards and Sears selling guns, motorcycles and cars. I'm so old I remember when being patriotic was normal and no one had a commie fit over reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance or swearing an oath on the Bible. I'm so old I can remember there was a time when you needed a sponsor and approval to immigrate and were prohibited from asking for or receiving government assistance or were thrown the hell out!

I know the Korean War was happening and Vietnam was on the verge, but I think I would prefer the fifties to now.

I'm so old I need to start using a tag line that says " I used to know,but I forgot."

Calculus proved its usefulness to me, but I still hate it.

I used to know,but I forgot.

Walking from one room into another and forgetting why the heck I went there, that bothers me. Reaching for a tool I used five minutes before and not being able to remember where I left it. Having a car that can't be worked on because it's so loaded with smog, and computers.
