When could you tell you were getting old???

When happy hour is a nap

When you and your teeth don't sleep together

Going braless pulls all the wrinkes out of your face

When I got my latest drivers license picture and realized DMV hadn't messed up and put some old guy's picture on it instead of mine.

When I did the math and realized I'm only middle-aged if I intend on living to be 112.

10pm used to mean the start of a night out partying, now it means bed time

when you can't stand up straight after sitting for awhile

when the chick behind the makeup counter asked if i wanted to try out some anti-aging (aka wrinkle) cream...and called me "ma'am".

i'll be 30 this year.

When my sister's 7 year old granddaughter asked me "What's a record player?"

When most of my college classmates could be my children!

When one of my classmates asked me what an 8-track player was!

When I hear teens talking about that "new song" they love...and I remember the original!

Seeing 80's fashions come back into style! And having them still in my own closet!

When my doctor jokingly told me I have more health problems than his senior citizen patients!

So have any of you ever seen the ad to find out your true age? Well, I went to the website and took this ungodly long survey about my health, lifestyle and all that stuff. Now when I took it I was 40 something. The end of the test actually added 13 years to my chronological age! All the testimonials from people on the site were from people that scored lower than their actual age! I suppose I am old!

You've noticed that too, huh? Kind of hard to take them seriously, except for the gun!

When I started to get gray hair in places I didn't think hair would or could turn gray...

And when people ask me if I want to go out somewhere this weekend, and I say no, my running days are over.

I am 47.

ROFL!! That sounds just like me! My teeth are in the bathroom, and of course I have to put my artificial limb where I can find it in the mornings. I pushed it under the bed one time, and forgot where I put it when I woke up the next morning!!

When you remember when gas was $1 a gallon.
When you remember when a candy bar was 25 cents.
When it hurts to walk after getting up from the floor playing with the grandbaby.

Ahh - actually, gas was 25 cents per gal and candy was a nickel8-o

Wasn't that around '64 or 65?

When you have to stop and think at the gas station, remembering that now "Regular" is unleaded.

I was very young, but still ...

I remember getting spending money by finding & selling deposit soda bottles. And, for 25¢ I could buy a 16 oz soda and a bag of potato chips. And, yeah, I can remember when gasoline was under 30¢ per gallon. Fill a 20 gallon tank for 5 or 6 bucks. But then, I can also remember weekly paychecks netting less than a hundred dollars too (and living, although meagerly, on them).

At least getting older beats the alternative.

When, during a family music discussion, my niece asked "What's a turntable?".

When being away the house for more than 4 hours seems like a big adventure.

When I became interested in conversations about that supplemental health insurance information that you need to get when you are 65 or you will be charged compounded interest when you do finally need it.

ALL of my employees are less than half my age.

I have a car that is easy to get in and out of.

I saw this thread and posted a reply.

My first job was pumping gas (yes, we used to pump it for you) for $1.75 an hour and gas was 34.9 cents a gal. Cigarettes were 50 cents a pack.
I still hate to pump my own gas

When the cashier didn't even ASK for my i.d. for purchases of alcohol.
