What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

I think we can add "Doesn't miss the toilet" to all ages for me.
OMG...this was just too funny. I loved it :)
;-D
So according to this list, and the habits of the man I'm married to... I'm 72?? Ah, man. A few minutes ago I was 43. LOL
So funny Sylvia;
I'm vey thankful that my husband doesn't miss the toilet( as far as I know.) Unfortunitly Kevin does!
Thank YOU for the laugh. The older I get, the more I require!!!
Very funny, Sylvia. I will add an age.
A revised list at 82: A man that can still drive.
No wonder I'm exhausted all the time! I keep trying to be on the first list and at 63 I don't need to keep putting in all that work.
Absolutely Hilarious......I'm still laughing!
Funny list! And it's true, our priorities do change...
How very funny but true, Slyvia. I love this!
The Husband still resembles the first list after all this time, except for the snoring part. I forgive him.
Funny post, loved it.
The list for age 62 is a bit harsh isn't it? Lol! At 69 Hub is doing just fine!
