Tires WILL go flat. Do you have two cans of tire inflater?
Umbrellas are lightning rods. Do you wear a raincoat?
Windshields without rain-x, are impossible to see thru in a heavy rain. Do you spray your windshield this week?
Movie theaters are dark, and you cannot see as well as you use to. Do you have a small flashlight in your hand when you walk in the theater?
Our metabolism slows down as we get older. Did you do your daily aerobics to keep your metabolism UP so you do not get sick as often as everyone else?

LOL.....let's see.....
How to handle money. How to tell the good people from the bad. Who to trust and who not to.
What you want to be when you grow up. How to balance your check-book and not make a mistake. Not to fall for a scam. Not have your feathers ruffled by lifes normal ups and downs. How to put gas in your car. What is healthy to eat. How to change your tires. All the right questions to ask. List too long to print.

The seat was colder and the paper was rougher in the privy than it is with indoor plumbing.
Now that I'm old and bald,
the plumbin's half worn out,
what used to be my pride and joy,
is now just my water spout.
When we were younger,
I watched her boobies dance,
But now with some years gone by,
She tucks them in her pants.
The old crank that used to be on the front of a car
is now behind my steering wheel.
Nature is to be enjoyed and can't be improved on.
Things of true value aren't things.
Why rush to get somewhere that you can't wait to get back from ?
If possible, we really COULD wait to get older and grown up
(as if that really happens as we get older).
Spectacles aren't really that much fun to "dress up" with.
The whole neighborhood doesn't really enjoy us sharing our boom box music with them. It's about as popular as "when I was you age" remarks.
When to take our meds, eat our meals, and go to bed -- nice to know which bed is ours as well. (remember when there was a handy little chamber pot under the bed? where do they wander off to ?)
If you force yourself into asking, the offspring and grankids are always willing to lend a hand.
If you drink too long from the Y/A fountain, you'll become addicted.

There are a few things that I always try to remember:
1. Practice the golden rule
2. You can't change anyone - regardless of how good your intentions are
3. Trust your gut. It's seldom wrong
4. Enjoy each day as though it's your last day on earth. It just may be.

How to balance a check book, what to do in an emergency, how to tell a scam, what not to spend money on, how to shut up, not to interfere with your grown children, keep some opinions to yourself, avoid gossips, be a true friend and confidant, not to call old people after 9 pm--5 am calls are fine. ;0)

Don't believe everything you hear.
The right thing to do today, will be the wrong thing tomorrrow.
You can't understand where people are 'coming from', until you know where they've been.
If you want to do something-go for it, you'll never be any younger than you are right now.
Eat dessert 1st, you never know which moment is your last. lol

Don't sweat the small stuff
It is what it is
Always remain calm and assertive
Be a good friend
Always tell some one you love that you love them....you never know....
Put the toilet seat back down
Put the cap back on the toothpaste

Nothing last forever
It's better to give than receive
Love and 'you' are the answers
Do your best in all things
Protect your heart and mind from evil
You only have today
You are loved

Not to sweat the small things, patience, tolerate others, should know who your friends are by now, life is short so enjoy, see beauty in everything, and should know God by now.
