When could you tell you were getting old???

[nicotime]

I knew I was getting old when;

I knew what the weather was before getting out of bed;

I wanted to get shytfaced for the night so I grabbed a single from the cooler at the beer store;

my gut got closer and azz got further away;

I wore my shirt inside out the whole day (yesterday to the pharmacy and two stores);

the only thang a shakin' is my hands;

my arms aren't long enough to read something;

I cant remember if I had something to remember;

I spill more juice than I vape;

I started falling asleep at the mouse.....

My driver's license says I'm an old guy, my mirror does too. But, if I ignore those things I feel a lot younger. However ...
I really started to comprehend my age when I realized "old people" were treating me as a peer, rather than as the young guy hiding inside the body they were talking to. And, the twentysomethings and thirtysomethings started treating me almost with respect (or was that pity?). I guess I remind them of Dad, or maybe Grandpa.

I used to go all night now it takes me all night to go.
Being gay used to mean happy
I got hair growing where it shouldn't be and none where it should be.
The things I see the dr. for now all begin with A
My friends used to say hey look who's here now they say O God, look who's here.
When you get furniture disease and your chest falls into your drawers.
The girls used to run to catch me now they just run.

I knew I was getting old when someone asked what my date of birth was including the year!!!!!

You're not REALLY old unless you have to think a moment to remember your birth year (or exact age), LOL

When my daughter said she was starting to sound like me, with her kids! Then I admitted my Mom wasn't such a dummy, after all!

I thought I was gong to pass out I laughed so hard.

When I started saying "I don't know why the music has to be so loud in here" at a night club.
When I decided to start vaping instead of smoking, as it seems I may not be indestructible.
When I started leaning toward the 40 yr old moms rather than the 21 yr old daughters.
When I started talking about how much better music was when I was young(which I was right on, but so where the people from the 60's and 70's that said the same thing.)

I'm 30

A 'few' years ago the oldies stations were all playing 'our' music!? Oldies?!

When I noticed my hands on the steering wheel one day and I thought 'OMG, those are my mother's hands!' Where the hell did all those wrinkles come from?!

When my 'baby' told me they are expecting their THIRD baby! I'm not THAT old!!

When I see the kids looking concerned when my husband or I take our time getting up off the chair.

When I started seeing my favorite artists and albums in the $1.99 bargain bin at the convenience stores and truck stops.....wait, what are albums?......

 

[5cardstud]

When the guy behind me in line said come on pops move.

 

[Janetda]

When my mother started referring to us as "women our age"

 

[bornagainst]

When I realized that I can't skateboard anymore without people thinking I am a narc.

 

[Katya]

When I told my 14-year-old daughter, "You're not leaving the house dressed like this!"

 

[Skyler]

Ha, here's a killer one.....

I legally can choose from the "senior" menu at Denny's!!

This is not a good thing.......

 

[Mac]

Me? I'm in my prime..

At nearly 59, even the "getting older" jokes are getting old, but here are a few that I can identify with...

Your back goes out more than you do.

The twinkle in your eye is only the reflection of the sun on your bifocals.

You feel like the morning after when you haven't been anywhere the night before.

You finally got your head together, now your body is falling apart.

It takes twice as long to look half as good.

You don't care where your husband goes, just so you don't have to go along.

Your mind makes contracts your body can't keep.

Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

You are proud of your lawn mower.

Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.

You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.

You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television.

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES:
Happy hour is a nap ! ! ! ! !

 

[SheerLuckHolmes]

When I started shaving my ears more than my face.

When going out at night to party became a huge effort.

When I started fondly remembering how I used to go out and party ....

OMG I can't believe you asked this! I have to give you my honest answer.

I remember (wrongly) thinking I was old when I noticed that all the Playmates of the month were younger than me. True story - I remember the day I had that epiphany and how bothered by it I was.

But now that I can leaf through my kid's legally obtained copy of the magazine, instead of my husband's, I may be getting old.

I guess as long as I look more like Little Annie than Granny - I'm not really old. LOL
