How do you know when you are getting older?

OS Butch · 09-12-2012, 09:12 PM

I really found out how old I have gotten on a recent job interview. The question was "describe the last item you sold"....

Ummmm, That would have been Touch Tone service and the Princess Telephone

....My interviewer had never used a rotary phone..... Wondering if I will get the job.

....when your hands hurt bad from arthritis, that when you hug and cuddle with your puppies, that their warmth feels really good and you use them for a "hot rock" ...

When they tear down the house you grew up in

I had to hire two young women to climb into my display window to do my shop display. I have done it twice myself and each time, thought I was going to fall out of it! So, they are coming by on Saturday to redo my window..and put lights up in it.

I can see little gray hairs. Not a lot, a couple, and they catch the light just right in the bathroom so I can see them. I thought they were blonde at first (was born blonde and hair changed to brown when I moved up from the south to the north).

Awkwardness- getting gray hairs but still getting zits. Really?

That and sometimes I do look in the mirror, and in the corner of my eye, I can see my dad's face in the reflection, what I remember him looking like when I was growing up.

Other than that, this sense of planning for the future, checking retirement accounts/401K, realizing I've "owned" my home for 8 years now, seeing my parents age, visiting my aunt in assisted living.

When you have a tube of BenGay on your bedside table instead of the lube....
