Here are a few which spring to mind and which I am writing down very quickly before I forget:

I am now brilliant at falling asleep in front of the telly.

My ability to puff when walking uphill is coming on steadily.

This site gives you a lot of great memories๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 08/10/2013 09:23

The memories we can remember also improve with age. They always seems to have a Rose tint don't you think! lol

The friendships on this site get better with age. It really is so nice to see those I haven't seen for awhile and this forum helps us all stay in touch so it's even lovelier when we meet face to face. Yesterday was a good day for that ๐Ÿ™‚ And of course I love all the hugging. There's nowt like a big hug! ๐Ÿ˜€

I put lots of things down or in draws and then can't find them,
There in such safe places even I can't find them๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

The mobile phone is often dead so can't hear it either if I try to call it from the house phone!๐Ÿ˜ˆ And if I forget where the house is, then I will defo section myself in the mental institute!:~

top_spot (john) 08/05/2013 21:56

OK until you forget where the house is!

MadMag 08/05/2013 19:12

I've solved that one, I phone my mobile from the house phone!

MadNad 08/05/2013 18:09

I've been told that as I age I look younger. My friends and neighbours hate me and my sons often get mistaken for my brothers, or so they all say to make me feel better! I am excellent at misplacing my mobile phone and glasses, and then get very short tempered because I can't find my phone without my glasses :~

Lots of things do improve with age - especially our appreciation of what we have, like this site. Pictures and forums can put a smile on my face that can last a whole day and I really wouldn't be without! ๐Ÿ™‚
