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.

Grocery shopping requires.....reading labels...carbs, sugar,
4 or 5 different kinds of fat, calories from fat, sodium etc etc etc

Do you remember when a "thong" was what we called flip flops ?

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.

Very true...and it can be hard to find a doc you like...

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.

girl_dee · 02-25-2011, 09:06 PM

when you call today's music, *noise*

well it is, damn kids today anyway.

Bella~Vita · 02-25-2011, 09:06 PM

God forbid I stay up past 1am ..I swear I pulled an all niter...

girl_dee · 02-25-2011, 09:07 PM

when you hear your old rock n roll rockin music on the Oldies Easy Listening station.

scootebaby · 02-25-2011, 09:17 PM

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.

Jesse · 02-25-2011, 09:39 PM

You don't get liquored up at home, to save money, before going to a bar. Lol! We used to do this!!

Nina · 02-25-2011, 09:39 PM

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!)

No you just get liquored up at home and stay there, cause you forgot where the keys are.
