How do you know when you are getting older?

Kobi · 06-03-2012, 12:55 PM

I know I am getting older when I change the way I make decisions. Used to be a long drawn out process of evaluating all the options, figuring the pros and cons and weighing them all, asking confidantes for input, then mulling it all over some more.

Now, it is a simpler process. Wish I could chalk it up to something esoteric and wise. But, it is just necessity. Too much thinking wastes too much precious energy. And, at this age, getting lost in thought literally means forgetting what you were supposed to be mulling over.

The best part of this change in process comes with a change in attitude. A bad decision is no longer the end of the world. It's just a booboo.

Ohhh shame on you... you didn't just say "damn"...shall I quote exactly what you said as you ripped off your sunglasses and slammed them onto the dashboard, then punched your steering wheel, then covered your face with your hands? I don't recall you saying "damn" at all.... but you did say just about every other thing that would make your Nanny faint!! Everything happens for a reason...I happened to be there and happened to have cash

....the funny part came after you fueled up, after we got lunch and loaded up with groceries...on the way out of the parking lot, you grabbed my sunglasses from the cubby and said "Shit! What'd I do with my glasses?...[how many times have I heard that one in the last 3 years? my first reaction was to look over at the collar of your shirt and on top your baseball cap...].... my response: did you leave them in the store? ...You, with a total disgusted look on your face : "I might have." .... after a few seconds my response: pointing to your dash, 1.5 feet from your nose...

When you're old enough to remember these....

and when you mention them to the newer generation, they have no clue what a "Wheat Back" is and they ask if it was a cereal or foreign money?

You know you're getting old when you are playing a Hidden Object game on facebook and one of the things you need to find is a "music player." And you look for a record player, tape recorder, radio, anything that might play music. Can't find it for ages.

Click on the hint button and what is it??????? An MP3 player!

when you reflect and realize that long long ago life was so simple...there were no early disconnection fees, no activation fees, no UPGRADE fees, no paying for TV, just an antenna, an you got off your butt to change the channels on it and looking back that really wasn't a bad thing.
