Lovely Aging Cartoons Funny Maxine Cartoons
We have a house guest. No real post just a good laugh. Here are some fun reasons to love being over 50, 60 and more:
- You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge
- Your joints are move accurate than the National Weather Service
- Your investment in health insurance is beginning to pay off
- Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them
- People no longer view you as a hypochondriac
I don’t know where these originated but I can relate to every one. See you when I get back from the time machine. Have a great day!

Never enough smiles and giggles – why do people have to either be or so young no one pays attention to you or older to realize that?
Hope there’s sun to warm along with your sense of humor

That “secrets are safe” point is so true. I went to tell a bit of gossip from the past to someone in the present– got started then couldn’t remember for sure who it was that I was gossiping about.

Some things get a little fuzzy. My husband was telling me about an experience we had together. I didn’t recognize it (as he told it anyway) so I asked if I was there and if I had a good time.

Yes to all 5! Debra’s comment about her MIL stating “Getting old takes courage.” … so agree with that more than the “getting old isn’t for sissies” which I use often. But the older I get, I think it takes courage… 🙂 Enjoy your visitors!

It is. When I was younger I thought the problems were mostly cosmetic (wrinkles, graying hair) but those are the easy parts. No one told me about losing energy and interest and body part relocations. Let’s not forget the new ache or pain that my hypochondria takes to the highest level. Or the face that some friends are actually dying and not from auto accidents.

Thanks for the jokes.
I have to admit I still find speed limits a challenge. I’m pretty good, though, at watching for the cops.
Have fun with your house guests.

Oh, dear! I wouldn’t want to put it that way. Let’s just say that some speed limits around town are unreasonably low. Ha ha.

There are some that may be “suggestions.” There is a main road that goes through our development. No one uses it but residents and people going to the neighborhood park. They lowered the speed to 25 mph about a year ago. My car doesn’t go that slow.

Being president of our homeowners’ assn., I had to sign off on a reminder that we have a sign posting a 15 mph speed limit. There were some complaints. Hmm.

Maxine always makes me smile! I can remember when my mother-in-law would say to me, “Getting old takes courage.” I was probably 35! LOL! What did I know then? Nothing. Now I fully understand what she was trying to tell me. I think it was a warning to pay attention and prepare for what was coming. However, you can’t know until you arrive! Enjoy your houseguests!

Calvin and Hobbes was one of my favorite comics. And then I had a little boy and read them again.
They were truer and funnier.

Calvin & Hobbes was the correct answer on Final Jeopardy last night!
The Clue: These 2 were named for a European “theologian who believed in predestination” & a “philosopher with a dim view of human nature”
