You Know You're Getting Older When...

I know and want one! Hard to find! :auto:

 

If the past seems more pleasant than now....;-)

 

You keep posting in this thread.

 

Your hair turns gray...;-)

 

When you remember Walter Cronkite and body bags on the evening news. Damn unfortunate that some things haven't changed

 

When you start conversations with teenagers with: "You know when I was your age..."

 

You compare surgical scars with your old buddies....;-)

 

when you plan the days activities around your anticipated levels of joint pain during different parts of the day

 

When you keep repeating the same stories over and over every time you drink...

 

Try marijuana. You'll tell different stories.

 

when you have more than one heating pad, so you dont need pissing around moving them.

And the ones you have on your best chairs are duct taped to the back pillow.. "Steal that suckers"< someone borrowed my heating pad at work so I fixed that.

 

Good point! Totally different narratives! LOL!

"Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman (or indeed man) really me?"​

- I pause for thought and reflection ​

Curling up with a good book on Friday night sounds like a lot of fun....;-D

 

You know you're getting old when your shit starts showing up on Antiques Roadshow.

My son and I were watching the show once, and a guy had an old skateboard, nothing more than a piece of plywood with metal skate wheels riveted to it. The expert said that it was one of the very first manufactured models. My son says, "interesting, huh? Can't believe you could actually ride those."

I said, "wait here just a minute," and went across to the closet to pick up exactly the same item. It was mine when I was a kid. Boy, did I feel old.

 

When hippiehair tells you that you are lol... Also, When you realize you'd rather catch the day after easter candy sales than get a basket on the day of... lol

Same with any other candy eating holiday, I like being cheap sometimes lol

Way Back When I Was Seventeen....

when memories seem much more pleasant than reality....:-/

 

It was 2 things.
1) My grandchild asking me if she should tell her father, my son, that she smokes pot.
2) The death of my wife. 45 years together and almost 40 years of marriage.
