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.

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

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.

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...

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

Spirit Dancer · 02-25-2011, 07:52 PM

The joy's of good food and good coffee
are now your enemy.

Where did manners go with all this texting? These young whippersnappers text too often with too much crap, like emojis and other nonsense. Then the selfies, OMG. I miss unsmart phones!

I seem to be entering a second "awkward teen" stage of life.

I'm too old to be young, and too young to be old.

Gemme · 08-19-2018, 07:36 PM

When I get into a conversation with two gentlemen (who crossed the 'old age' bridge a long time ago) about the 'youth of today'.

AND

We're in complete agreement.

When I was in my early 20's, it cost me 50 cents a gallon to pump gas into my VW Bug (I loved that car); when I was a kid, we only had channels 2,4,7,11 & 13 on our TV with a remote the size of a half-gallon of milk; I saw the Beetles play 3-weeks in row on the Ed Sullivan show and when Mick Jagger had no wrinkles; when Womens Lib first started & I used to hold Consciousness Raising groups in my small apartment!

As my daughter's used to say when they were teens: Gee mom, how
old are you anyway?!

...you're going through puberty in reverse

This could be a list of mine! Ah, those were the days! And the younger folks here will be making their own lists one day.

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
