You know you're getting old when.........

[Susanna]

...when you’re studying retirement plans...

 

[Oncefallen]

You suddenly realize (after two years) that yourself and your wife are the two oldest people in your small group at church.

 

[Subhumanoidal]

At least I'm not asked about senior discounts yet (thanks to the black hair dye)

That's only because you bathe in llamacorn oil. Cheating. And gross.

I gotta admit...reading this thread is making me feel pretty young. lol

 

[Poinsetta]

30 is the other side yo. When you realize there’s no going back it’s only forwards from here.

 

[Poinsetta]

When you find out that the friends you're spending time with are more than a decade younger than you.

No wonder I get along with them so well 😂

 

[Poinsetta]

When you remember your oldest niece being a few months old and now she is a close friend. She's 24 and I'm 42.

That day won’t surprise me .

When you take your kids hiking to a beautiful rocky overlook with some pretty high drop offs and it makes you nervous to get near the edge. As you see your kids walking to the edge you hrab their coats and pull them back. It makes me sick in the stomach.
But 20 years ago I would walk right up look over, climb all over the rocks and sit with my feet hanging out over. Not anymore. 😬😁

 

[Hamarr]

When 80s music is played on the classic music stations.

When the stuff you listened to in high school is now considered "classic rock".

Our classic rock station recently added Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.

Oh, and when you hear youngin's refer to your favorite bands as "dad rock".

When you worry that the pilot looks like he's 12...

 

[Poinsetta]

When you start doing things on your own

 

[Dino246]

When you have to pause and think through "getting up" because you worked hard yesterday.

 

[TamLynn]

You know you're getting old when pulling an all-nighter means you didn't have to get up to use the washroom during the night!

 

[LittleMermaid]

You know you're getting old on CC when you realize Streams isn't the 'it' thread anymore.
We need to revive it!

When sleeping in is 7am.

Tuesday my grandmother slept in until 2:30pm. She's 87 and didn't have a thing planned that day, so... *shrug* Why not?

She acted embarrassed about it. I didn't see a problem. When you retire you're supposed to be able to do things like that if you want.

When you take a walk and you start to pick up random things you find on the road.

You know you're old when you go for a walk at all. Only old fogeys have time to take a walk. Young people, if we have spare time we gotta get caught up on facebook, twitter, snapchat, skype, instagram, whatsapp... our social lives are going to pass us by if we don't keep up with them.

I concur. I find it strange and sometimes amusing to see old fogeys, like my uncle, who have no time to take walks but are more active on social media than the young ones.

You start getting older than the ages of the baseball players on the baseball cards
