Looking For My Wallet

Getting old is not bad- when you consider the alternative.  It is a privilege denied to many. And forgetting things is not all bad- there are some things I am glad I can forget. I have been told that two things happen when you get old. the first is you loose your memory. and I forget what the second thing is....Actually I  just wanted a light hearted video for today and hope it brings a smile to your face.

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much . People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information stored in their brains, scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive becomes fuller, so humans also take longer to access information, it has been suggested.

Researchers say this slowing down is not the same as cognitive decline. The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more, but just may not be able to access the information.

Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise.
SO THERE!!

John and Nancy were married for 40 years and decided they wanted to renew their vows and planned a second wedding. They were discussing the details with their friends. Nancy wasn't going to wear a traditional bridal gown and she started describing the dress she was planning to wear. One of her friends asked what color shoes she had to go with the dress. Nancy replied, "Silver." At that point, her husband chimed in, "Yep silver...to match her hair." Shooting a glaring look at John's bald spot, Nancy's friend said, "So, John, I guess you are going barefoot."

One day Ole and Lars met for coffee at a restaurant. Lars then said, “Ole, I hear your 50th wedding anniversary is next month. Are you going to celebrate?” Ole answered, “Yes, I think so. You see for our 25th anniversary I took Lena back to Norway for an enjoyable trip that I really enjoyed. I thought for our 50th Anniversary I would go back and pick her up.”

Mike, an avid golfer, was teeing up for a very difficult shot. At that moment a funeral procession went by. Mike stopped, stood still with his hat over his heart, and bowed his head. His golfing partner looked at him and said, "Mike, that was kind and decent of you to show such respect for the dead." Mike replied, "Yes, we would have been married twenty-six years come tomorrow."

Never argue with your wife when she's tired or rested Our marriage was okay until we bought a waterbed...
Then we seemed to drift apart
