It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.

LOL! This one is hilarious, IMHO.

Although you could add...or your breakfast cereal

Snap, crackle pop!

This is my still my favorite comment about aging:

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming-
"WOW! What a ride!"

:)

It's ruough when you're too old to do it anymore, but your memory is so bad that you thought you actually did do it.

I've seen these additions to this quote:

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, martini in one hand and chocolate in the other proclaiming- "WOW! What a ride!"

My favorite is:
When I go, I want to go like my grandpa, quietly slipping away, not like the screaming, panicky passengers in his car.
