ABOUT GROWING OLDER...



First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.



Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.



Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.



Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.



Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.



Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.



Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.



Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.



Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.



Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf



And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

A couple years ago my little sis was playfully dogging me when I started showing a few gray hairs and said you can have those fixed ya know. I say those are my battle scars - I earned them and I wear them proudly.

I love algebra. I use it every day and the fun is when it gets hard and you have to pull out one of the old books and look for a trick.

This one reminded me of my x bosses mother. She is 98 or 99 and she says, "Old age ain't for sissy's"

Math does not even start untill after Algebra. You have to learn Algebra so that you can do the fun math.
Algebra is to math like learning your ABC's is to English.

Easty, jsut be glad it wasn't differential equations... I picked up some of my old Calc boks the other day as I was cleaning out a basement.. I sear it was written in greek, alpa, beta, Delta... wait.. That was greek.. Algebra wasn't so bad... Can be darn usefull at times too and most of us use it without even knowing we are using it.
