... you sit down to breakfast and hear "snap, crackle, and pop" and you haven't poured milk in your cereal yet.

...you start thinking that Sarasota, Florida is a lot more "cutting edge" than most people give it credit for.

...your pharmacist calls you by your first name.

...your sweetie says "Wanna neck?" and hands you a piece of chicken.

...your car battery goes dead because your turn signal was on for two weeks straight.

...lawn care becomes a big part of your life.

...you think "libido" is an Italian pasta.

...the tooth fairy has more teeth than you do.

...you wake up with that awful "morning after" feeling...and you didn't do anything the night before.

...you drink prune juice on purpose.

...you start complaining that "they're not building car seats high enough.".

...you call that place where you keep leftovers the "ICE BOX".

...you begin to think of an RV as "one sweet ride".

...you're sitting on a park bench and a Boy Scout comes up and helps you cross your legs.

...conversations with people your age often turn into "dueling ailments".

...you can remember when the dead sea was only sick.

...at buffets, you complain if they don't have tapioca.

...you think of a "quickie" as napping at a traffic light.

...your back goes out more often than you do.

...you have an uncontrollable urge to feed the geese in the park.

...many of your co-workers were born the year you got your last promotion.

What was that again?
What the hell was the question?
Damn kids.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
