When you don't have plans for New Years Eve, away from the living room.
When you doubt you'll even be awake at midnight, but maybe. |
....
when i started having to use wrinkle cream... oh wait that is a scar not a wrinkle! Still best to be proactive.
|
When you stay indoors on new years eve, and leave the night to the youngins... Also, you dont mind passing out before midnight.
|
You know you're getting old when...
...you're ready for bed long before midnight on NYE.
|
When sitting at home all weekend is just fine. You don't always have to be doing something or going somewhere
|
When the big stuff is paid for and you dont fret over losing a days pay over inclement weather. And it feels damn good.
|
Going to the store makes your bones ache.
|
When you look at the snow outside, make a mental note of the need to shovel, and go make coffee instead. It will melt ......some day. |
when: you wake up and go back to bed after a cup of coffee in the morning, and your not even sick. lol
|
When you find yourself saying "Turn that down please." ...."HEY, turn that down."...."TURN THE DAMN THING DOWN NOW!"

My Get Up and Go Has Got Up and Went
How do I know that my youth is all spent? Well, my get up and go has got up and went, But in spite of it all I am able to grin. When I think of the places my get up has been. Old age is golden, So I've heard said But sometimes I wonder, as I get into bed. With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup And my eyes on the table until I wake up. Ere sleep dims my eyes I say to myself "Is there anything else I can put on the shelf?" And I'm happy to say as I close the door "My friends are the same, perhaps even more." When I was a young thing my slippers were red, I could kick my heels as high as my head. Then when I was older, my slippers were blue, But still I could walk the whole day through. Now I'm still older, my slippers are black. I walk to the store and puff my way back. The reason I know my youth is all spent, My get up and go has got up and went. But really, I don't mind when I think with a grin, Of all the grand places my get up has been. Since I have retired from life's competition I busy myself with complete repetition. I get up each morning and dust off my wits, Pick up the paper and read the 'obits', If my name is missing I know I'm not dead So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed. |
I knew I was getting old when my partner on the truck did not know what the old library catalog system was.

It surprises me how i think of seasons now. Or at least on a deeper level
When i was a kid, i enjoyed Summer - swimming, playing, shorts, bathing suits, vacations; Fall - Halloween, cool temps, fall leaves; Winter - snowmen, white landscapes, cozy fires; Spring - pretty flowers, feeling warm again, summer is coming. The older i get, the seasons are changing into Summer heat and difficulty breathing in humidity; Fall - watching the trees melt away and become sticks that will stand in hibernation throughout the winter; Winter - ice storms and bone chilling cold and ugly landscapes and terrifying driving; Spring - allergies, pollen on my car, getting the yard mowed. It's funny how priorities change as we age, but i never really realized until this morning how the season's change in thought patterns... I want to go back to when i was younger in my thinking... I'll have to see if i can't get that glass 1/2 full again. :bunchflowers: |
You start giving your stuff away 'cause you know you aren't going to need it in Heaven.

When 21 is the new 14... when 40 is the new 25...when 60 is the new 40...when 80 is the new 50...wash...rinse... repeat. :goodluck:

Gas Prices
When you see gas prices in an older movie, at or just above a Dollar, and it instantly sparks a moment of nostalgia which causes you to recall where you were when gas prices were that low (or lower). This often leads to the conversation, "when I first started driving, we only paid $$ for a whole tank of gas." LOL And then there's the whole no seatbelts and bench seats... don't get me started... whee!
|
When you are walking threw an antique/vintage shop and you are answering a lot more of the what is that, than asking what is that
|
lol, I want the drivers of cars with thumping stereos ticketed for disturbing my peace and quiet. I'm not sure when I turned into such a cranky old biddy.
lol, I also find myself lamenting the state of "these youths today." The hilarious part is that I'm not even 40 yet, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. |
When you start calling people "Kids"
|
When people help you across the street even when you don,t want to cross.
