How do you know when you are getting older?

You know your getting old when the candles cost more than the cake and when it's lit, the smoke detector alarm sounds off!

You know you are getting older when you miss the fine print on a national wildlife refuge sign that says fishing by permit only. That dang fine print gets me every time

You know you're getting older when you can remember the good ol' days and nearly everyone you knew was working and had a good job with decent pay and benefits. Back then, really, the only jobs that consistently paid minimum wage were the entry level jobs at fast food joints and convenience stores.

Come to think of it, I can't remember a single one of my friends' parents who were unemployed.

Ya, you know when you're getting old when you see how sad our society really is these days. It seems like a lifetime ago when Americans had it really good, or at least had a chance at having it really good, but I'm old enough to remember those days.
