You know you'e old

[JustJack 4689]

You know you are old when you remember when everyone thought the world was flat.

[Leber 1328]

...when you agree to most or all of the posts under this thread.

....when you don't want a smartphone.

You know your old when you can still do everything you used to do.......... you just can't do it night after night ( after morning,... after night.....) Damn I hate old age!

[roamingguy 300292]

Everything that works hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.

You feel like the morning after, and you haven't been anywhere.

Your little black book only contains names ending in M.D.

Your children are beginning to look middle-aged.

Your mind makes contracts your body can't keep.

You look forward to a dull evening.

Your knees buckle and your belt won't.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.

You know all the answers, but nobody asks the questions.

When the clothing and equipment that you wore and used when you first joined the military start appearing in the base museum.

Seems appropriate for this thread, or one of the music threads

Yup...also remember hearing that line that they had to walk uphill both ways to and from school...not to mention it was a twenty mile trek and always waist deep in snow...even in the summer

Why did they build a school twenty miles from where everyone lived and where in Canada was it winter year round

You know you're old when you no longer wish to work 26 hours a day anymore.

Talking about You know your old when stories -

Sitting on my terrace this morning listening to my best friend tell me and my son's girlfriend how he and his partner have to remind each other to remind each other of something they need to do or get..Meanwhile I'm sitting beside him wondering what the the heck kind of bird was making such a squeaky noise. Looking up in the tress and all around I couldn't find the bird. My Son's gf asks what i'm looking for...I say the bird that's making the odd noise..they look at me and start laughing...{it's my dog sitting beside me chewing my his squeaky toy}.

 

Ok that's a couple of -you know your old when's in 2 mins...yikes!

You know you're old when you used to use vice grips to change the channel on the TV.

You know you're old when your grandparents still had a working outhouse out back of their house.

You know you're old when your grandparents still had a working outhouse out back of their house.

 

Mine too... and until 1971, the indoor plumbing consisted entirely of:

 

 

That's right... a hand pump that tapped into the well - so dishes were done when the water was boiled!!!

I can remember my Aunt's wringer washer in the farm house!!

 

Looked a lot like this

When you refer to the students protesting in Quebec as S.W.I.N.E. -- an acronym used by the cartoonist Al Capp for 60s student protesters (Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything) and are looked at as if you are a pig yourself or from another galaxy. There may be some truth to that, after all.

When you remember on sunday nights after The Wonderful World of Disney the Ed Sullivan Show would come on and you would laugh at the antics of that mexican mouse Toppo Gigio.

you know your old when getting lucky is an afternoon nape

or someone asks you who is ed sullian??

[tokan 16826]

Being this is Saturday morning I was reminded how old I was when I remembered watching G.I. Joe, The Real Ghostbusters, and Transformers on Saturday morning cartoons. And at the risk of sounding even older, I'm going to say those cartoons were way better than what they show nowadays, lol.

 

For your enjoyment :)

You know your old when you and your beautiful wife have been compared to

James Garner and Mariette Hartley

Me, I'm told I look like this guy (don't see it myself, but can't argue with ladies) but ok, I'm old

My beautiful wife, not old at all

You know you're old when one day:

- you're getting on the elevator just as the doors are closing

- somebody is kindly holding the door open button for you

- you thank her for "holding her finger in the dyke"

(in reference to the Little Dutch Boy)

- you observe the mortified faces of the 20-somethings around you who think you've made a crude lesbian reference

 

Following that episode, I made a careful review of my stock of arcane phrases and deleted as many from my mind as I could. Unfortunately, I fear it has left some gaping holes.

 

(Note to self: delete "gaping holes" from memory)

You know you're getting old when you have lunch and start planning what to eat for supper (OMG, I'm turning into my parents).
