How do you know when you are getting older?

[Julien]

Got my hair cut today, is it me or does there seem to be more grey hair on the drape than the last time? :buzz cut:

[femmsational]

When in order to text I have to push my phone further and further and FURTHER away from me in order to see the letters I'm typing!!!

[OS Butch]

Got my hair cut today, is it me or does there seem to be more grey hair on the drape than the last time? :buzz cut:

The last time I got my hair cut I told the gal that I think there is someting in the water here cuz there seems to be more silver in the clippings when I get my hair cut there....She started reassuring me that there wasn't....Really? I had to tell her I was just kidding:|

People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?
You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity
You wake up, looking like your driver's license picture.
You sing along with the elevator music
You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.

[Blaze]

You give up all your bad habits and you still don't feel good.
You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.
You get into a heated argument about pension plans
Your drugs of preference are now vitamins.
Youthful injuries return with a vengeance

Twelve hour work days use to be the norm for me. I know that I am getting older because now it takes me encouraging myself all day to just work 8 hrs.

You know you are getting older when you miss the fine print on a national wildlife refuge sign that says fishing by permit only. That dang fine print gets me every time

[theoddz]

You know you're getting older when you can remember the good ol' days and nearly everyone you knew was working and had a good job with decent pay and benefits. Back then, really, the only jobs that consistently paid minimum wage were the entry level jobs at fast food joints and convenience stores.

Come to think of it, I can't remember a single one of my friends' parents who were unemployed.

Ya, you know when you're getting old when you see how sad our society really is these days. It seems like a lifetime ago when Americans had it really good, or at least had a chance at having it really good, but I'm old enough to remember those days.

I know I am getting older when I change the way I make decisions. Used to be a long drawn out process of evaluating all the options, figuring the pros and cons and weighing them all, asking confidantes for input, then mulling it all over some more.

Now, it is a simpler process. Wish I could chalk it up to something esoteric and wise. But, it is just necessity. Too much thinking wastes too much precious energy. And, at this age, getting lost in thought literally means forgetting what you were supposed to be mulling over.

The best part of this change in process comes with a change in attitude. A bad decision is no longer the end of the world. It's just a booboo.

when the preacher asks if you would like to walk this afternoon and you have worked in the warehouse all day and it was at least 106 degrees and you don't think it will be that much cooler around 7ish.

when your kid laughs at you for knowing all the words to a New Kids On The Block video.

"omg, mom! please tell me you didn't dance like that??"

when you reflect and realize that long long ago life was so simple...there were no early disconnection fees, no activation fees, no UPGRADE fees, no paying for TV, just an antenna, an you got off your butt to change the channels on it and looking back that really wasn't a bad thing.

I knew I was old when I heard an Ozzy Osbourne song in a commercial! There is no way those little kids would be humming "crazy train" !!!!!

Personally, I realized I was getting older when I needed glasses....literally OVERNIGHT.... :|

AND.... I find myself telling my kids how much stuff USED to cost....like my gramma used to do....lol

[alexri]

I can see little gray hairs. Not a lot, a couple, and they catch the light just right in the bathroom so I can see them. I thought they were blonde at first (was born blonde and hair changed to brown when I moved up from the south to the north).

Awkwardness- getting gray hairs but still getting zits. Really?

That and sometimes I do look in the mirror, and in the corner of my eye, I can see my dad's face in the reflection, what I remember him looking like when I was growing up.

Other than that, this sense of planning for the future, checking retirement accounts/401K, realizing I've "owned" my home for 8 years now, seeing my parents age, visiting my aunt in assisted living.

For years, I was a non-stop bottle of endless energy.
Not so much anymore for me now.

I spend my days sometimes in bed, when I can.
It feels good to just not do anything but read a good book

energy? I'm slower about using up all my energy.

When I look into the mirror and don't recognize the older person looking back at me. I hear my voice and reflect on how it used to sound now I'm much harsher, not the gentle sweet flow of words of yester years either now the words are hauntings of the burdens my heart has endured. then the ever present aches and pains and even tho I do it and probably shouldn't my arms are getting icky ,lol I can see the signs in my skin...........ewwwwwwww so much evilness in aging,lol but i will not cover them it's too hot !!!

when you pause and actually think about the outcome/consequences. : ( suks. party pooper.

[Scottish MacDaddy]

I was speaking just yesterday to a friend regarding this very subject and the outcome of it was as follows.

I know I'm getting older because I am making better life choices.

I have developed the ability to say "no," which has proven to be quite difficult for me in the past. Easily swayed to please others, as is my butch nature, even when I knew it was not in my best interest. I now can say "no" and follow through with it, much to the consternation of others.

I've learned how not to sweat the small stuff. Anything other than life, liberty and the pursuit of personal happiness is trivial. So, in that vein, I try to live an easier less complicated life. I don't carry all the "stuff" that accumulates as we go through life.

And lastly, I have learned how to please myself first and foremost.

These lessons have been hard taught and I believe they come with age and experience. I look forward to the discovery of new ideas and new beginnings as I get older and older. I wouldn't trade any of it for all the riches in the world.

[~ocean]

I'm proud to be of the "older generation" ~ tolerance has taken a front seat in the way I accept the inevitable ~ Realizing I can't change the world's way of thinking , only pray.~ sharing a smile in a strangers eye. ~ I breath w. contentment from knowing who I am,and stand proud. ~ I chose my battles and don't waste my energy ~ walking away from continous negativity ~ I love alot deeper ~ the best of all ~ u get 1/2 price breakfast's from IHOP.. :) ~ Enjoy the 2nd 1/2 of our lives ~ a ripened fruit holds the sweetest nectar ~

"At a Gustin House recital series performance with Mom featuring my old school chum, soprano Ileana M and pianist Rachel A... this shit is off the hook!"

and when the recital and reception/schmooze is over, it's just before 10 and you both decide to go home instead of out for a drink because church pews = lower back pain.

My 'baby' sister, who is (high ranking) Retired Military, got a tickle from the Care Bear birthday card I sent...(this is her first birthday in over 20 years that she wasn't in the military)... she said she was tickled that I remembered she liked the Care Bears...I responded that I remember when she got her first Care Bear when they first came on the market. I also remember when she "was a grumpy little girl" that slammed down her "Grumpy Bear" drinking glass and broke it. She's not a little girl anymore but she will always be my baby sister, no matter what rank she held. Hell, the baby sister in her still loves Care Bears!

My son's father is also recently Retired Military...
I remember when they both enlisted just a few months apart...I know I'm getting older when two people younger than I am, get to retire before I do.

I know I'm getting older, when I see Care Bears at an antique shop with a price tag that says "Vintage Collectable Care Bear"...

When the prospect of staying up till midnight on New Year's Eve just felt like more trouble than it's worth. We can always just tell each other Happy New Year the next morning.
