You know you're getting old when.................. you can use a marker to connect the newly forming "age spots" on your skin and draw animal pictures with them!!!

I've already got a monkey on my back (insert punchline drum roll here!!!).

Express Chinese food doesn't seem refined enough.

True story.

Apparently minted pickles are a real thing now. I read it on a menu today... I really want one.

you know you're getting old when you point out cassette tapes and pens to young people and they have no idea what the two have in common... cassette.jpg

Most of your sentences begin with, "When I was your age.."

You turn out the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.

You catch yourself sitting in front of Walgreen's in your truck, thanking Jesus that Preparation H makes a moist travel towelette.

Thanks Mo0448. Now I'm gonna have nightmares about the old days... in the Time Before. I am so, so, so very glad we are in the digital age.

You know when you're getting old when everything even the smallest of things becomes something to complain about.

"Just make sure that you can outrun the person you called old." :D

I remember years ago when my ex-girlfriend's son called me old. Challenge him to a race and beat him even though he had trophies from running track in school. He never called me old again.

When you borrow a friend's bible and can't get over how small the font is.

You know you're getting old when................. life hands you a lemon, and you throw it back because you mistakenly think the lemon is actually a tennis ball-sized anti-senility pill.

(Maybe I should have taken it after all).

Kind of reminds me when I a doctor had me do a stress test on a treadmill. I have never been a runner. The treadmill was getting near full speed before my heart rate finally started going up. The guy running the test was like 25 years younger then I. He made a comment wishing that he was in such good shape.

On the other hand. Finding that getting my riding boots on is tougher then actually doing one of my off road rides is not a good thing.

You use words like 'cantankerous'.

(Which I just used in a different thread. I wonder how many youngsters will have to look that up!)

I knew I was getting old when...

some teenage girls called me "Sir".


I had a mild nervous breakdown.

Wow... no one touched that one!?
I ain't even touching it with the 12 foot pole that I keep around for stuff I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

You think you are YOUNG AT HEART....but your body doesn't agree with your thoughts.
