How do you know when you are getting older?

Blade · 02-25-2011, 06:49 PM

When I wake up in the morning and my knees have more crackles than my hardwood floors.

Packin'Boi · 02-25-2011, 06:58 PM

When I sneeze and pee a little ...really?

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

When increasing the type size in my browser window no longer helps.

Bella~Vita · 02-25-2011, 07:14 PM

When I find myself getting stuck in certain positions ... it's not pretty ....

princessbelle · 02-25-2011, 07:15 PM

My arms are shrinking.

It is the only answer to the problem of holding things to read at arms length, no longer works.

When I started smoking, well, when I started buying smokes, I paid $11.50 a carton. Last week, I paid $63.

When I look in the mirror and see my mom looking back at me.

I can remember in high school, omg i'm really showing my age here, they were 75 cents a pack.

I really hate to admit i smoke on here.... (no hate mail please, they ARE still legal and YES i know what they do, i'm a respiratory nurse) but, my brand which is Virginia Slim extra slims are $5.60 a pack. Crazy huh.

Ok another one......

You know when you are getting old, when.....

putting your feet up on a stool at night helps with any swelling and pain and not just to admire your toenail polish.

Jesse · 02-25-2011, 07:32 PM

Lol! I was paying $52 for a carton. That was two months ago. I do not buy the damn things now, thankfully!

OH my goodness girl...I remember Daddy giving me $1 and sending me to the store for a pack of Salem's, a gallon of gas and a box of goobers for me.

Moving on.... pee and fart involuntarily at the same time you sneeze

Jesse · 02-25-2011, 07:36 PM

Ya start getting propositioned by AARP! What is up with these folks anyway? They started emailing and snail mailing me the year I turned 49 and they have yet to stop!

Blade · 02-25-2011, 07:38 PM

when you actually notice your own "smile lines".......Mom calls them wrinkles

Of course I don't have any

I got a kick out of it when they started sending me stuff. Mom used to call it "the Union" so I had to sign up...LOL

I love getting older...there are so many new things to experience and appreciate. I think my 50s are going to be the best years of my life...until my 60s....then 70s...

The Goddess lengthens our girlfriends' eyesight precisely BECAUSE there's no reason for them to see those lines in vivid detail. Our own eyesight is, of course, perfectly unaffected.

How about when your aching joints predict the next weather pattern to roll in!

Spirit Dancer · 02-25-2011, 07:51 PM

When the doctor sounds like the mechanic....
you've got too much fluid in your joints

The joy's of good food and good coffee
