How do you know when you are getting older?

JustJo · 02-25-2011, 08:50 PM

I know I'm getting older...when my doctor, my dentist and my boss are all younger than I am.

Very true...and it can be hard to find a doc you like...

Also...I think gravity is having an unexpected effect over time...my boobs are getting smaller and my butt is getting bigger...could everything just be settling?

you know you are getting older when

...a late night is 11pm
...rolling over in bed sometimes requires assistance from ur partner
...your body no longer loves your favorite foods
...u bend over and someone has to help u get back up
...u fart and someone else has to tell u
...u find yourself referring to things as "back in my day"
...u have to cross ur legs or hold yourself when u sneeze or cough(or risk peeing on urself)

im sure there are a lot more,but it has been a 14 hr day and my brain is mush.

No you just get liquored up at home and stay there, cause you forgot where the keys are.

How do I know when I am getting older?

~when I need a magnifying glass to read the newsprint and food labels,

~when I realize store clerks have no idea how to make change unless the register tells them and even then they can get it wrong,

~when I remember that Boone's Farm Apple Wine used to be the rage,

~when all kids look alike to me,

~when I go to say something and promptly forget what it was,

~when I cant find my keys cuz they spent the night in the lock,

~when I cruise the newspaper for the early bird specials,

~when colonoscopies and cholesterol pills are dinner conversation,

~when you go to matinee movies cuz you don't drive at night,

~when you ask for the senior discount everywhere,

~when the folks at the pharmacy know me by name

~ when the tv and movie stars of my generation are advertising boniva and activia.

You finally get the saying "It is none of your business what others think of you"

Nina · 02-25-2011, 09:39 PM

Well...I pretty much say what I'm really thinking/feeling aloud and when I'm in public...I've lost a lot of the ability to keep it to myself...people look at me, often smiling or nodding in agreement...I tell them 'I can't help it, I'm an old lady'...that or 'it's the voices' :)

(the later I am just making up...the former is true and I'm proud!)

Jesse · 02-25-2011, 09:02 PM

It's tougher to lose weight, because over time your body and your fat have become really good friends.

girl_dee · 02-25-2011, 09:06 PM

when you call today's music, *noise*

well it is, damn kids today anyway.

girl_dee · 02-25-2011, 09:07 PM
