When prunes are an essential part of your diet.
When all your shoes are slip ons.
When driving at night becomes more difficult.
When you start driving 5 miles below the speed limit instead of above.
When you demand the senior discount!
When tenderised means it was put through the blender.
God bless

I love this thread! I come here for a good laugh ^_^ 
When the chiropractor and cardiologist remember your name.
You're walking down the stairs and all you hear is snap, crackle, and pop, you think it must be the kids eating breakfast cereal, and then you realize it's only 2AM.
You think college students look like they need babysitters.
Flipping through the newspaper and what catches your attention is hip replacement surgery advertisement.
Your buddy you went to high school with is Santa Claus at the local mall.
You use paper maps instead of GPS because you don't know how to operate those tech stuff.
Your old toys are now in the antique shop.
When you tell your kids to roll down the window of the car and then they say "but it's not hot", then you say, "Okay, it must be my menopausal hot flashes".
You still have your Cadillac from the 50s.

You really know you are growing old when...
you start remembering what used to be, and bore your children telling them about it.
When you drive by the old neighborhood, and it is all new buildings and stores.
When you say that used to be.....
If you can tell your kids and grandkids, what the world was like before computors, or how phones used to have real bells in them and a line attached.
When you still have your first cell phone stored away, and it looks like a small suitcase.
God bless

It is almost mind boggling at how much this nation has changed in such a short time.
Maybe geographic location as far as I am in the way I see it.
But yes it is not even the same world I lived in 45 years or so ago.
We had out houses no indoor toilets.
We had drop cords with the light bulb and pull chain or cord one per room.
We did get phones but they were party lines and you would go to use it and a neighbor would be on it.
We had one vehicle a truck families as large as 13 kids one family near us had the most 17 kids.
There was no such thing as heat pumps or home air conditioning.
We had a wringer washer and clothes line out side.
We had a chamber pot in the bedroom so we would not have to follow the path late at night to the out house.
We were so much happier then.
Life was so much better then.
I have no problem with life today I can cope with life.
But I sure miss the way it was.
I wished it had not of changed into the way it is today in a lot of ways it did.
Some are really nice changes for the better but many are nor for the better.
Even if we live to be 103 years old one of family passed away at that age about 3 years ago and she said time flew by.
She said she did not feel like she had lived 103 years.
I see some of their concept of future changes and it looks like something on another planet.
It is leaving the looks like a whole new nation and world to a whole new planet.
I actually am finding it harder and harder to even relate to the place I grew up in.
They say words I have never heard and have no idea what they are saying and yet they say it in English.
It is to fast pass every thing just keeps speeding up and on by.
