How do you know when you are getting older?

[DomnNC]

You know you're getting old when quite a few of your human parts have been replaced with mechanical parts!

[Andrew, Jr.]

You know you are getting older:

* when you see/read your friends listed in the obit section of the newspaper;

* the thought of de-decorating for any holiday seems like a nightmare;

* you buy large print books;

* you forgot about the clothes you just washed, and have to rewash them;

* you look for sales on hemoroid creams, wipes, fiber powders, and such.

one sign that tells you that ur getting older is,repeating yourself---sooooooo keep that in mind while reading this post

you know you are getting older when

...you echo phrases your parents used,even though you swore you would never do
...you cant control your as well as you used to
...you have to have the close caption on the tv so you can"hear"it
...your kid is listening to a song you really liked in your younger yrs,you mention it and he says" oh i thought it was original"
...you check your height and realize you are shrinking
...it seems EVERYONE is calling you ma'am--even the elderly greeters at WalMart

I discovered i have gotten older when my get up and go, got up and went without me.

I knew I was older when I decided I did not care to have a Facebook account. I just could not get into reporting what I had for breakfast or my family members "friending" me. I mean really after all these years, now they want to be friends?

I resisted for awhile. But, I did it....Does still make me wonder why people I don't know wanna be my friend....I ignore them....I found the privacy setting very helpful.

I know that feeling quite well! I finally did a facebook page to see if I could connect with old friends. Then all of a sudden here's all this family that couldn't be bothered with me when my wife was alive and now that she's passed it's like, oh look, we can be family with him again, screw em, I added them and now don't use it, lol. I might check it once every 2 weeks or so.

I finally started using mine too...added old school friends...added family ( some of whom I haven't seen since they were children) and now spend half the time I am on "X" ing their posts because of content I don't associate or agree with. Eh... we try to keep the peace and enlighten where possible and yes, practice,practice,practice the ignore/privacy feature! LOL!

I know what you mean. I pulled mine and my My Space a while back...had them because of some community work I was doing...way too many people trying to "friend" me.

Recently an old friend twisted my arm into setting up another FB account. This time nobody will find me, not even me it seemed for a while there...cuddlyfemme and I are still giggling over that one!

You know you have gotten older when you and kid sit down to watch her favorite movie when she was little..."Heidi" She says "Mom. what is wrong with the TV?" Nothing......It was in Black and white.
