For years, my definition of middle age has been "too young for Medicare but too old for women to care."

I received my Medicare card today. It's official, I'm now elderly. It's all downhill from here.

1. Funny!

I recently realized for me to continue to consider myself middle aged I’ll need to live to 124!

2. Drop 'elderly,' please.

Think of yourself as 'old' due to Medicare card if you want; I received mine YEARS ago.

kind of fun geezing along. You can use it if you want or need to. You will soon get the hang of it!

6. You won't believe how great it gets from there.

Seriously.

7. Hope springs eternal.

At least to some point, getting old beats not getting old.

8. Actually you're a senior now

Just like in highschool! Top of the heap! King of the hill! Just tell them to call you sir!

Age has its perks!

9. Why do they call it "down hill" when it feels like I'm always going up hill?
