How do I know when I am getting older? ~when I need a magnifying glass to read the newsprint and food labels, ~when I realize store clerks have no idea how to make change unless the register tells them and even then they can get it wrong, ~when I remember that Boone's Farm Apple Wine used to be the rage, ~when all kids look alike to me, ~when I go to say something and promptly forget what it was, ~when I cant find my keys cuz they spent the night in the lock, ~when I cruise the newspaper for the early bird specials, ~when colonoscopies and cholesterol pills are dinner conversation, ~when you go to matinee movies cuz you don't drive at night, ~when you ask for the senior discount everywhere, ~when the folks at the pharmacy know me by name :| ~ when the tv and movie stars of my generation are advertising boniva and activia. |
~ when designated driver refers to the person who isnt bothered by the glare of headlights at night ~btw, cigs here are $8.50 a pack |
Designated driver is the one who still has their license.

Even our labels remind us of our age
one a day over 50, centrum silver. Where once we never worried about fiber now we cannot live without it. |
Yesterday when my child said
you mean you were born when the first man went to the moon? Man mommy you are old as moondust :| |
.....when You feel You must say ~ when asked Your age ~ You're forty~eighteen.....
:eyebat: |
things you own are shown on ebay as vintage items the need to shave your legs decreases as your hair begins to disappear once believed to be a lesbian because you wore sensible shoes (feminist era), now no one questions why you wear sensible shoes dressed to the nines now means jeans without an elastic waist |
When...
... I read some of the posts here, and I feel like I need ulcer medication. :knit:
:jester: |
I was looking at some online ones and came across these:
You and your teeth no longer sleep together. You get to work before you discover you forgot to get dressed. You had to get rid of your dog... he kept trying to drag you to the yard to bury you. Watching paint dry has a certain fascination. You discover the meaning of life, but forgot to write it down. |
When the Rolling Stones and the Who sound quaint compared to what my kids listen to.
When my kids ask if I had TV when I was a girl. I walk into a room and forget what I was doing there. Coming up on my 30th high school reunion! The joke is true: when I get on the floor, I wonder what else I can do down there. When I bought one of those personal fans for women of a certain time of life. When I became a great-aunt. My great-aunt was a tiny little old lady. |
Last one standing is a youngster!

When I was in the Army it was the Women's Army Corp. (I saw a History Channel special on us the other day) We had a beer machine in the dayroom of the barracks and the beer was 25 cents....yes beer for a quarter and there was only beer in the machine....no sodas. We also had a pool table and an ice machine. Smokes were either 25 cents or 50 cents.'

the clothes you wore when you were 16 are now halloween costumes

Hmmm that might be a good idea now days a beer machine....swipe your ID just like ya do for the lottery machines....hmmmm well I'm sure someone has already done that idea |
The numbers of birthdays I've celebrated is one clue;-) Creaky joints are another. Feeling settled within myself, more mellow and laid back about many things, and feeling more deeply Femme than ever...definitely signs. Other than that? I don't get it. I'm older? Really? When did that happen? :giggle:

When you overhear your friends talking about old reliable and to find out they weren't talking about their car, they were actually talking about you.

Well, I've been reminiscing about the 80s a lot lately. I'm not sure if it means I've got bad taste or if I'm pining for my long lost youth :)

On a more somber note....I know I am getting older ~when I realize there are only 3 elder family members left ~when I made out a will Ok that was depressing. Back to fun. ~when I watch the dykes and dykettes walking around Ptown and realize I have socks older than them ~when people post pics of entertainers they have crushes on and I havent a clue who they are ~when people reminesce about mushrooms and I'm thinking stuffed mushroom caps ~when I need a nap in the middle of the afternoon to make it to 11pm. |
i knew i was getting older when my relationship with money changed.
