AND NOW . . . MORE!

'Oldsterism' #8:  Getting older has prompted me to apologize to my daughters more often as I see them staring into the face of their future.

'Oldsterism' #36:  I know I'm getting older when Kegel exercises wear me out.

'Oldsterism' #7:  Getting older is ironic . . . I now need a pair of glasses to find my glasses.

'Oldsterism' #19:  I may be getting older but I can still always find what I'm looking for . . . exactly five minutes after I give up and start looking for something else.

A FEW MORE . . .

'Oldsterism' #16:  They say age is a state of mind . . . you're only as old as you feel.  I can totally get into that once I've had my morning coffee, two Aleve and my Metamucil.

'Oldsterism' #20:  I know I'm getting older when I send a suggestion in to Garmin to add a new app to their GPS that plots the distance between public restrooms across the U.S.

'Oldsterism' #24:  I know I'm getting older when my doctor starts treating me for one ailment and in the process discovers three more.

'Oldsterism' #32:  I know I'm getting older when instead of chuckling at the bad acting of that woman yelling, "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!" in those Life Alert commercials, I now catch myself mumbling; "Been there, done that."

STILL MORE . . .

'Oldsterism' #2:  Getting older has enhanced my creativity.  When I can't remember the name of something, I just give it a new one.

'Oldsterism' #6:   Getting older has done wonders for my wardrobe.  I’ve discovered that flashy clothes draw attention away from the figure underneath!

'Oldsterism' #9:  I know I'm getting older when all my new best friend's names have the letters M.D. behind them.

'Oldsterism' #23:  I know I'm getting older when I catch myself watching exercise programs on television so I can reminisce about what being limber felt like.

More later, all.

AND MORE . . .

'Oldsterism' #4:   Getting older has enhanced my memory.  I can remember where the ladies room is in every establishment I've ever visited.

'Oldsterism' #5:  Getting older has given me a well stocked pantry.  I keep buying the same things over and over whether I need them or not.

'Oldsterism' #14:  I know I'm getting older when I catch myself saying things to my kids I vowed I would never say, starting with; "When I was your age . . ."

Anderson 'Oldsterism' panic attack #3:  Making a mad dash for the public restroom and discovering it's coin operated.

AND MORE . . .

They keep coming . . .

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #10:  I know I’m getting older when I can't name too many parts of my body without adding the word 'ache' behind it.

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #12:   As I’ve gotten older my hair, nails, skin and lips have all gotten thinner.  Unfortunately nothing to do with my BMI has followed their example. 

Anderson 'Oldsterism' Panic Attack #2:  Someone waves hello to you from a distance and you try to ignore them because you have no idea who they are.  Then they call you by name.

Can you relate?  Let me know.  More to come friends.

More 'Oldsterisms'

Hi all: 

Here are a few more to digest -

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #15:   As I've gotten older my dress size has actually gotten smaller.  Amazingly, I’ve gone from 14, 16, etc. down to size 1 or 2!  The only difference is now there’s an X after the number.

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #17:   I know I’m getting older when I call my daughter by name and she looks at me strangely and says; “No, mom; I’m the other one.”

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #18:  As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed that I’ve gone through four stages of apparel selection throughout my life . . .

    Stage 1:  Sexy, no matter what.

    Stage 2:  Looks good but not quite so painful.

    Stage 3:  Bye-bye looks; I need comfort.

    Stage 4:  Bye-bye comfort; I need support!

Lots more 'Oldsterisms' to come.  Thanks for reading!

Anderson 'Oldsterisms'

Hi all:  For several weeks last year I wrote Anderson 'Oldsterisms' and posted them on my personal Facebook page, one verse per day.  I've been asked to post them again, so I thought my blog would be a good place.  I'll start with a few of my favorites:

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #1:  I know I'm getting older when I can carry my suitcase on a plane but my medicine bag has to be checked.

Anderson 'Oldsterism' #3:  As I get older my body is more balanced.  For every hair I lose on my head one will grow back on my chin.

Anderson 'Oldersterism' #13:  I know I'm getting older when I can ignite a serious case of road rage just by driving to the mailbox and back.

I'll be keeping 'em coming.  Check back with me!  Bye, all!
