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.... |
.....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 :|}
|
When you come on to someone, they think you're just joking.
|
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!
|
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. |
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. |
Old
When your friend asks you if you get the senior discount.
Haha! :superfunny: |

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

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. (America, in a great show, Saturday night) |
when my flatmate bursted out: Woow, you read the first Harry Potter when it actually came out!
|
You know you're getting older when you make jokes about being old and nobody laughs.
|
When you go out for dinner and coffee is your beverage of choice.
|
When you can't straighten your arm without cracking your elbow.
|
I know I am getting older when the people I hire to do things I can no longer do are also no longer able to do them. :| |
When you are watching House Hunters and hear them say "this house was built in 1972, don't you just love this mid-century modern flag stone? It's a split level, which was common in that era."...
And you think to yourself that you were born before that "mid-century modern" (their code word for vintage or old) house was built. |
the cold hurts my bones down to the marrow...... :watereyes:

Ha!
when many are surprised of my age. Then comment *you dont act your age* and/or * you dont look your age*
I simply give either comment a kind: Well Thank You! ks- |
When the eye Dr. informs you that one of your eyes has a cataract.
|
Because they keep making the packaging harder to get into. </sarcasm>

today one of my young teammates said she really likes that *retro 80’s stuff*
:superfunny: |

When you go to the fish market on a Wed and the kid behind the counter reminds you there is a senior discount on Thursdays. Someone needs to make an app for senior discount days. |
When did:
1. 12 year olds get to drive? 2. High schoolers get to play in the NFL? 3. I become totally unable to determine ages if they could be between 12 and 30? 4, The last of my blond hair disappear? |
My law school classmates called me Mom. Lol.

While shoveling snow, I shovel away the snow a couple times during the snow storm. This way it is not as heavy as waiting until it's done snowing and shoveling only once. However, I hate that my efforts get erased.
|
Thoughts...
I know I'm getting older because my criteria of what I'm looking for in a partner has changed over the years. It is no longer based solely on looks and if we vibe but based on character and integrity among other things which are non-negotiables....

The first time you catch yourself holding the paper farther away so you can read it.

You go to thread a needle and you can't.............:|

When back in the 80s you were considered a techno-geek if you had a
486 computer with a 2400 baud modem and a mobile phone. Now, what technology you have is considered luddite and dinosaur worthy. :typewriter: |

This make me chuckle. After doing my laundry, I discovered I needed to darn a sock. I ran out of the pre-threaded needle kits I have become very fond of - can get them on Amazon. Was forced to try and thread a needle with an eye the size of my head. Much easier but the larger needles challenge the integrity of the material aka make more holes. Sometimes it is just easier to buy new socks. :blink: |
