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!

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

How do you know when you are getting older? Well for me:

I am proud of my lawnmower.
I like to take a metal detector to the beach.
For halloween I like to sit on my front porch with a catapult and fling pumpkin towards anyone that comes near my house.
When I do the "Hokey Pokey" I put my left hip out..and it stays out.
When people say I look "Great", they add "For your age!"

I knew I was getting older when I realized that pitching a tent at Occupy Oakland was not a possibility.........my bones just creaked and groaned at the thought...

When you have to *ease* into the morning....

I used to be able to roll out of bed and hit the ground running....

NOW?

I need to be awake two or three hours before I even start to CARE about thinking about getting ready for work...

my hit the ground running has turned into roll over and hit the snooze alarm for an hour...

OS Butch · 12-20-2011, 06:58 AM

I need a Lists... To Do today, Grocery...etc...Problem is I usually lose the list or get so distracted I never get things done....Is it getting older or ADD?!

Oh, Found a cup of coffee in the microwave this morning!

When you look at recent pictures on Facebook of High School friends and say "Wow she has gotten old" and then look in the mirror and realize.. Yes we are all getting that way. Grrr lol

AtLast · 12-23-2011, 03:44 PM

When you hear snap, crackle, pop upon rising- and you haven't had Rice Crispies in the house for over 30 years- it's your joints making noise!!

Still better than the alternative...

Happy Holidays to the oldie moldies!!!! We rawk with vintage grace!

I know I am getting older because my 13 year old lets me know constantly. When I really want to blow her mind I tell her I have been alive "since before the internet was invented." Mind blown.

When I'm already yawning at 830...

I force myself to stay up past 930...,for the simple reason that I remember all too well when I wasnt allowed to stay up that late. It was a long awaited prize and I refuse to squander it!
