How do you know when you are getting older?
Most of us are far enough along in life to realize "we aint gettin any younger, ya know". Lets have some fun with getting older.
How do you know when you are getting older? |
When I wake up in the morning and my knees have more crackles than my hardwood floors.
|
When I sneeze and pee a little :|...really?
|
Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
|
When increasing the type size in my browser window no longer helps.
|
When I find myself getting stuck in certain positions ... it's not pretty .... :wtf:
|
My arms are shrinking.
It is the only answer to the problem of holding things to read at arms length, no longer works. |
When you remember saying....when cigarettes get to $1 a pack I'm quitting.....LOL who remembers when smokes were under $1 a pack........ummmm how much are they now anyway?

I really hate to admit i smoke on here.... (no hate mail please, they ARE still legal and YES i know what they do, i'm a respiratory nurse) but, my brand which is Virginia Slim extra slims are $5.60 a pack. Crazy huh. Ok another one...... You know when you are getting old, when..... putting your feet up on a stool at night helps with any swelling and pain and not just to admire your toenail polish. |
Lol! I was paying $52 for a carton. That was two months ago. I do not buy the damn things now, thankfully!

OH my goodness girl...I remember Daddy giving me $1 and sending me to the store for a pack of Salem's, a gallon of gas and a box of goobers for me.
Moving on.... pee and fart involuntarily at the same time you sneeze |
Ya start getting propositioned by AARP! What is up with these folks anyway? They started emailing and snail mailing me the year I turned 49 and they have yet to stop!
|
when you actually notice your own "smile lines".......Mom calls them wrinkles:sunglass: Of course I don't have any

How about when your aching joints predict the next weather pattern to roll in!
|
When the doctor sounds like the mechanic....
you've got too much fluid in your joints:| |
The joy's of good food and good coffee
are now your enemy. |

Those little aches and pains have become screams of agony, and don't go away in a matter of minutes, if ever. When your best day was yesterday.
When you think your bladder is empty only to discover your error. When in the morning you use to open your eyes wide, but now are crusted and tearful. Oh the joys of getting older. All tongue in cheek, except when you can't find your teeth, or glasses, or cane. :glasses: Ami insists I inform everyone I have my own teeth....... |
Grocery shopping requires.....reading labels...carbs, sugar,
4 or 5 different kinds of fat, calories from fat, sodium etc etc etc |
When u remember when there were no home computers,cable tv, internet or cell phones. And you remember useing a rotary phone.

ya know you are getting older when you have 300 channels and nothing is on TV so you contemplate just going back to the ole 3 channel TV and throwing away the remote so you can get up to change the channels.....just for the exercise
|
I know I'm getting older...when my doctor, my dentist and my boss are all younger than I am. :blink:

Also...I think gravity is having an unexpected effect over time...my boobs are getting smaller and my butt is getting bigger...could everything just be settling? |
It's tougher to lose weight, because over time your body and your fat have become really good friends.
|
when you call today's music, *noise*
well it is, damn kids today anyway. |
God forbid I stay up past 1am ..I swear I pulled an all niter...
|
when you hear your old rock n roll rockin music on the Oldies Easy Listening station.
|
you know you are getting older when
...a late night is 11pm ...rolling over in bed sometimes requires assistance from ur partner ...your body no longer loves your favorite foods ...u bend over and someone has to help u get back up ...u fart and someone else has to tell u ...u find yourself referring to things as "back in my day" ...u have to cross ur legs or hold yourself when u sneeze or cough(or risk peeing on urself) im sure there are a lot more,but it has been a 14 hr day and my brain is mush. |
You don't get liquored up at home, to save money, before going to a bar. Lol! We used to do this!!
|
Well...I pretty much say what I'm really thinking/feeling aloud and when I'm in public...I've lost a lot of the ability to keep it to myself...people look at me, often smiling or nodding in agreement...I tell them 'I can't help it, I'm an old lady'...that or 'it's the voices' :)
(the later I am just making up...the former is true and I'm proud!) |
