Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: I bought a new wrinkle cream.
If you use it once a day, you look younger in a month.
Twice a day, you look younger in two weeks.
I ate it.
As the years go by, and the decades begin to pile up, people will do just about anything to reverse the signs of aging: LASIK surgery, industrial-strength hair dye, seven consecutive forty-ninth birthday parties. Rita Rudner is no exception. When she turned fifty, she couldn’t even bear to say the word.
In I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It, Rudner writes with humor and candor about all of the small indignities and everyday absurdities that have become standard fare. From the perils of catalog-ordering addiction to the challenges of keeping up with the latest in electronics, lingerie, and reality television to the joys and worries of being an older mother to the long search for the perfect retirement house, Rita covers it all.
So put on your bifocals and power up your sense of humor! Just don’t blame Rita when your laugh lines get visibly deeper. Refreshingly honest and undeniably hilarious, I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It is a laugh-out-loud look at the wonders and the surprises of life on the dark side of fifty.

You will find it by reading this book!!
If you are female and reached that "dreaded" time in your life, when you
are not quite 25 on the outside, but on the inside you are roaring. Read
this, it puts it in prospective and gives you lots of giggles.

Can't remember what little I still have
Wonderful book with many zingers I'll want to pass on to others. . . if I can remember them.

Get ready to laugh out loud
If you have never read a book by Rita Rudner - now is your chance. But be ready to laugh out loud! Rita takes everyday situations and turns them into jokes, stories or essays. Everyone can relate to most of the stories in this book. She does not have to use vulgar language or other nasty words to get her point across. You will enjoy any of Rita's books that she has written over the years. But don't try drinking liquids while reading or you may snort drink out of your nose!!
