How do you know when you are getting older? - Page 45

You run upstairs to 'get something' and once there forget what the hell it was!

When you notice your first grey hair! Ack!
I noticed mine the other week....

Soft*Silver · 05-16-2017, 11:35 AM

.....letting your hair go back to silver again and knowing its probably going to stay this way now forever......

I am loving being a bubi...a grand ma...a nanna....I remember my buba, full bodied and embracing me with such love! I want my grand daughters to find thick thighs to climb up on, strong ample arms to close around them for safety and love, a warm round belly to lean against and yes, even non perky bosoms that they can lay their head on and hear the heart that beats for them. I dont want to give them a false ideal of aging, of body image, of looks, of worth. I want them to love me and themselves as little women, who will love themselves no matter what age they become. Silver is glorious and shiny and bright..like their smiles. I want to be a wonderful bubi and silver gives me the crown I need...

I know I am getting older when I see a story in the newspaper about the New England Fiber Festival and my brain automatically thinks of metamucil and bran flakes. Odd kind of festival I think.

Not that kind of fiber.

You hear words or phrases coming out of your mouth that your parents used!

Case in point........"shut the door, what are you doing, trying to heat the whole neighborhood?"

When you bend down to get something and think what else can I pick up while I`m down here. {please tell me its not just me

}

C0LLETTE · 11-04-2017, 03:32 PM

When you come on to someone, they think you're just joking.

cathexis · 11-05-2017, 01:33 AM

When you try to score something and they automatically think you're a narc because you look too old to ask for what you asked for.....really!

cathexis · 11-05-2017, 01:55 AM

If you show up at a political rally, they automatically think you are there to argue on the conservative side of the issue.

It's like, hey yo, I've been a protestor since before you were born. Ever heard of the Equal Rights Amendment or Roe vs Wade protests? Did you know that people had to arrange secret abortions or raise money to get a womon to NY where it was legal??

Sometimes it gets irritating.

cathexis · 11-05-2017, 02:57 AM

oh, one more

When you ask someone for a map, and you get a blank look. OR Upon hearing on the news or in person that someone got lost on a logging road because their GPS malfunctioned.

Wondering why they didn't have a map as backup so they didn't get lost in the desert for 3 days because they went down some random dirt road. The GPS read that they should do it. Machines make errors more than people being careful.

OMG, know I'm getting older and wiser.

When your friend asks you if you get the senior discount.
Haha!

When I’m trying to read the fine print and I have to pull out my reading glasses to see what I’m reading...I call it my granny vision lol

Gráinne · 11-06-2017, 12:34 AM

When I attend a concert, and I want comfortable seats in an auditorium-not standing in mud and rain or sitting in a field.

Then I look around, and the great majority of the audience is 50+, including the band.

When the concert is performed to a running montage of old newsreels, most of which events I was alive for.

You know you're getting older when you make jokes about being old and nobody laughs.
