How do you know when you are getting older?

[tapu]

I know I have gotten older when I report that I have just for the 1st time in my life put in a new shower liner and curtain hooks.....

Oh, wait....I should have posted this in the "You know you are Butch and single when" thread.:sunglass:



I feel your pain. Still shaking my head over matched socks. Where do they find the energy?

[OS Butch]

Exactly.....I know I am getting older when I just tip the laundry basket full of socks into an opened drawer.....Ok really, I must start that " You know you are Butch and Single when" thread!

I think I need to change my answer and say the forgetfulness thing is pretty predominant on me lately. I didn't get home from my advisor meeting before the mailman delivered so I checked the box on my way to work. There was a little pink slip saying that I had a pkg to pick up at the post office that wouldn't fit into my mailbox. I'm sitting here racking my brain because I couldn't think of what it could be. Then I realize it should be the pkg Rook just sent me. It wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that Rook just reminded me like yesterday that the pkg should be here today. Sheesh. I really don't know where my thought process gets derailed. It's a mystery akin to the sock/dryer phenomenon. :|





Oh! BFD!! I finally sat down last night with my cookies and milk and saw that, over time and between interruptions, I'd poured myself 3 glasses.

[lillith]

OK! This may sound really vain, but I knew I was getting older when the natural color of my bangs has more silver than any other color.

Remember the transitor radio?
I slept with mine under my pillow.

When I get older, I'll let all Y'all know.......:eyebat:


I agree!!! I don't think I feel my age, I feel like I am in my early 20s. I am fairly certain I don't look my age...

But, y'all can be the judge of that ;)

[Chancie]

People tell me that I look pretty young for my age; I just turned 50.

But, I was in the supermarket the other day, and

There was a very proud papa with his beautiful adorable infant, and

She was wearing a tiny lace trimmed dress that was obviously a family heirloom, and

I asked her if she would like to be in my math class in 14 years, and

The papa said, If you're still teaching, you mean.

I knew I was getting older when this happened to me. A friend and I were having a conversation at work about memory loss and alzheimers. A few minutes into the conversation we were distracted by something going on, as it wasn't anything serious we went back to our conversation. Well at least we tried to, unfortunately we couldn't remember what we were talking about. :confused:

I know I'm getting older when I do stupid stuff like buying groceries before books and eating dinner before dessert.:seeingstars:

Pride weekend here in SF is no longer a big deal to me and I can think of 50 other things I would rather do

[*Anya*]

When I was in my early 20's, it cost me 50 cents a gallon to pump gas into my VW Bug (I loved that car); when I was a kid, we only had channels 2,4,7,11 & 13 on our TV with a remote the size of a half-gallon of milk; I saw the Beetles play 3-weeks in row on the Ed Sullivan show and when Mick Jagger had no wrinkles; when Womens Lib first started & I used to hold Consciousness Raising groups in my small apartment!

As my daughter's used to say when they were teens: Gee mom, how
old are you anyway?!

[Daktari]

...you're going through puberty in reverse :whoop:

[deb_U_taunt]

1. I remember having party lines, but no long phone numbers I dialed yesterday.
2. I have Dr phone numbers in my cell.
3. I have a mini-van because its easier to get dogs to the dog park and to grocery shopping.
4. I stopped stressing the small shit, if a friend stops by and I didn't vacuum that morning. I don't care.
5. I am much more unconditional with myself and more comfortable in my own skin.
6. I find myself skipping posts with smaller bright font if I am still having a hard time leaning back and its still fuzzy (sorry to those people I have passed on their postings at times). And yes I am increased the text size on my browser and wearing the reading glasses..lol)

[Julie]

I know I am getting older.
Because I spend hours watch Nip Tuck on Netflix...

My doctor looks like he’s about 15

I have dollar store reading glasses in every room of the house, and if I can’t find my favourite pair they are just as likely to be in the freezer (turns out they freeze nicely) as they are to be pushed up on my head (which I will discover when I choose another pair and then notice I am wearing two pairs)

[foxyshaman]

When I was younger, I never fit in. I used to be quite bothered by that. I was a very shy kid, whose family was gossiped about quite a bit. We lived in a very small community, and we were not Catholic or Ukranian. Tsk tsk!! :) I grew up feeling inadequate because I was an outsider, the outcast.

As I got older I started to see the larger picture, and where our tribe sits in that framework. In today's world, that means sorting through all the cultural pressures brought to bear on women, men, and those not wholly in either camp. I became more comfortable with who I am and what I am all about. Or well, starting to figure out what I am all about.

I realized you can't see that clearly unless you are outside of society, and stepping outside is not something done lightly...because you can't go back. Growing up I saw many things that outraged me, made me profoundly uncomfortable, and after that the shoes of "normal" never fit again. It is a "higher" perspective - not in the sense of being more morally elevated, but in the sense of being someone perched in a high place, seeing farther, looking at the people walking down the narrow road and seeing only what is in front of them, and knowing what is coming before they do.

As I get older I am much more comfortable being outside. Much more comfortable looking for what others do not see. Looking deeply into myself and helping others do the same, but only when asked to. When I was younger I wanted everyone to come to my "house". Slowly, I understood that the only people who come are those who follow their own lead to get there.

As I age I keep my grandmother's wise counsel - "save your breath to cool your porridge". I had to learn what she meant. I don't offer my opinion much anymore. Unless I am asked. I am very comfortable in these shoes. And that was no easy accomplishment.

[WomenMoveMe]

[Dominique]

Also the first significant snow fall of the season here too. My smart car is as wide as my shop broom is long. SO, I only had to shovel out a space
that wide plus a little more (just in case) down the drive way.

Discussing skin care products has become a bonding time with my Mom. She is 83 and barely has a wrinkle. I am 56 and beginning to be indistinguishable from a char pei.

And the cost?!? WTF, this puts a damper on the expensive socks budget.

[~ocean]

wrinkles r like the markings on a tree.. shows experience :) << i dont want to look at a baby face..has no character !!! :)

[WickedFemme]

When there is a hot leather event in town and I have no desire to go out in the rain and cold and be social. I would rather be home, cooking a nice meal and chilling and going to bed early. lol...

Exactly. My mother looks fabulous. See, we should have always "listened to our mothers" and done this earlier.

Fortunately, my mother's glee at being able to share something "girly" with me resulted in her not accepting money for the bottle.

If you have skin, moisturizer is your friend.

I have virtually no wrinkles at 50....and it's all about being a moisturizer freak starting at about age 20.

Try organic coconut oil, I swear by it, it's solid in the jar, and melts like buttah when being used! Natural, preservative free, natural, and a person can put it on their legs, and also cook with it! And it's natural, not man made!

when your knees ache due to the storm blowing in

when you decide your gonna subscribe to "how do you know when your getting older?" and actually look forward to the future posts

when folks randomly talk to you about menopause and diet and talking with your best friend about her ibs issues has zero affect on you.

What is even sadder is that 80s music is also on oldies stations. I wonder when 90s music will officially become the oldies. It will be so weird to hear Nirvana on an oldies station.

A friend's 13-year-old daughter asked, "What's it like to be grown up?"

I say "huh", or "what" alot with soft spoken people, especially to my wife. Or maybe it's just selective hearing.. :devil:

On another note, one of the strange things I experience a lot is I hear better when I'm wearing my glasses....

I was organizing books today in the second-hand store I volunteer in (it supports the local food bank) when I heard myself say: "I'm sitting down on the floor now to do the bottom shelves. If you don't see me in an hour or so, come and see if I'm stuck down here." :|

When you realize your favorite movie....The Princess Bride......was released 25 years ago. Buttercup and Wesley must be grandparents by now. And, "as you wish" is prolly no longer used as a term of endearment and devotion. It is prolly code for "stfu and stop nagging me".

I had to chuckle at this. I was talking to my daughter two weeks ago and I was saying something like well you're almost 35, 35 something, 35 blah blah blah. She said I have a little ways go to yet before 35. I said a ways to go? Really? Like 4 days. She said a year and four days thank you very much. I said nope just 4 days. She said did I miss a year somewhere? I said, 1978, 1988, 1998, 2008.....09..10...11....12 hmmmm yup 34 she was right! Damn I'm getting old.
