When you realise losing your eye sight is actually God's blessing, so you wont see the old showing up on your face. :)

God bless

You remember when AOL was “the internet” and nothing else existed online.
'You've got mail!" <---- Best part of AOL :D

2. Start getting AARP mail with your name on it.
My sister, whose only 25, gets mail from AARP. I don't think they are able to judge age properly so it's okay!

My brother, whose 29, gets mail from the Scooter Store(like a Hoverround Scooter). They are all the time trying to get him to buy a scooter.

My mom said this the other day, you know you're getting old when all you're children have graduated from high school. Also, when the only children in your home are your grandchildren.

Yes, this is one of the horrors of growing old. Of course, when it happened to me, they were still selling albums.

When you notice the people with the walkers are going faster than you.
When your glasses are on your head because you need them most of the time but still you can't find them.
When a remote is not long away secluded place.
When washing dishes( in a sink) together is nolonger considered family time.
When you had to use a wringer. To wash your clothes, or a scrub board...& York grandkids ask what are you talking about.
When a lug was a measurement of food, not the big lug your daughter married.
When you find sending a post is nolonger mailing a letter.
& last but not least-- when someone says your yelling when your only trying to listen to what your saying..

When a lug was a measurement of food & not the big lug who married your daughter.

When you start using phrases like "When I was your age..." or "Back in my day..."

I've already been using those phrases with the kids in the kid's ministry at church. <_<

Puzzelsisedstickbug, sounds like you were one of my neighbors, we had party lines also, now there is a whole new meaning to that kinda line word party line not good. I also remember legaly riding in the back of pick up trucks, sneaking into drive-in in movies with as many people as we could fit into the trunk, & also feeling. Safe & normal walking. A mile & a half to the store down the road, just to buy a bag full of candy for about 35 cents.greasy times yet I do agree not all changes have been bad either.

When your children buy you a new remote, and its the size of a cereal box.
the worst part, is it was partly for a funny, but more because the large buttons are easy to see.

God bless

When your cereal boxes no longer have cartoon characters on them and the box itself tastes better than the cereal inside it.

When you look for ten minutes for your glasses and realize that they're sitting propped on the top of your head - or better yet - that you're wearing them!
