How do you know when you are getting older?

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.

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

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

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.

weatherboi · 02-26-2011, 05:29 PM

i knew i was getting older when my relationship with money changed.

Blade · 12-20-2011, 07:24 PM

When people have to ask you what to get you for Christmas and even you can't think of anything.

Okiebug61 · 12-20-2011, 08:44 PM

when the great accomplishment of the day is I actually did not have to remember what I needed to do to keep Red happy.

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.

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.

Kobi · 02-25-2011, 10:32 PM

~ 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

Corkey · 02-25-2011, 10:34 PM

Designated driver is the one who still has their license.
