It made me feel really really ancient....but it made the girl and her mother feel good.

Re. mislaying reading glasses - I read somewhere that when you put your glasses down, you should take a mental photograph of them in situ, then you can remember where they are - only thing is, remembering to take the mental photo in the first place!

Quick answer.....if you only need glasses to read and have no other problems with you eyes....buy 5 pairs of ready made reading glasses at 1 pound a pair and scatter them about the house...my Spanish Keyboard has not got a pound sign...forgive

I feel young again, I only scored 2 out of the 6, whoopeeeeeeeee

No..... the reading glasses tip is no good for me.....I have fi-bocals....and the tip about taking a mental picture is good, but my glasses seem to have a chameleon like quality in that they can camouflage themselves with ease....anyway when i had my last prescription made up I had an extra pair made so that i have a reserve pair.....in a case in the sideboard drawer.

You know you are getting old when the pots of wrinkle cream outnumber the tubes of lipstick

And when you choose shoes for comfort rather than fashion......and when you look for pants with elastic waistbands.......and when you choose big knickers to 'hold it all in place'.........and when you could carry five pound of spud in your bra cups.......I don't think any of these will apply to you Royboy

You can live without sex, but not without glasses.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You buy a compass for the dash of your car.

You are proud of your lawn mower.

Your best friend is dating someone half their age... And isn't breaking any laws.

Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.

You sing along with the elevator music.

You would rather go to work than stay home sick.

You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.

You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

People call at 9 pm. And ask, "Did I wake you?"

You answer a question with "Because I said so!"

The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.

You take a metal detector to the beach.

You wear black socks with sandals.

You know what the word equity means.

You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television.

Your ears are hairier than your head.

You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.

You get into a heated argument about pension plans.

You got cable for the weather channel.

You can go bowling without drinking.

You don't recognise any of the music in the 'hit parade'(or any of the bands, for that matter).....you call the charts 'the hit parade'....all your best music is on Vinyl....you find that the music of Barry Manilow is not so bad after all.
