You know you're getting old when:



1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.

2. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and
discover you aren't wearing any.

3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're
not eating cereal.

4. Your back goes out but you stay home.

5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture.

6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.

7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

8. When happy hour is a nap.

9. When you're on vacation and your energy runs out before your
money does..

10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to
you and you always hated it.

11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of
your age.

12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make
sure the street is still there.

13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.

14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

15. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.

16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.

17. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.

18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

19. Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot.

20. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on
your bifocals.

21. It takes twice as long - to look half as good.

22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.

23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on
your head the whole time.

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

25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good.

26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't
care anymore.

27. You finally get your head together and your body starts
falling apart.

28. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even
remember being on top of it.

You know you might have suspicions you might be getting old(er) when you start into a subject and quickly ask the other person,".. did I tell about this already...."; and you feel very awkward...
:confused:
. and you think I probably did and this person is just being nice...:D

You know you are getting old when you stop in the middle of the stairs and forgot if you were going up or down. :eek:

YES!!

And yesterday was our trash day...so Thursday night I walked into the bedroom..looked around and had no idea why I was there.
Once I sat down I remembered I had gone to the bedroom to get the trash can to empty into the big one...

About 30 mins later...Dave comes wandering up the hall and says -
" I just went to the bedroom and had no idea why I was there."
I said " Trash can?" He slapped his head and said YES.
At least we can laugh together. :)

Good post @APAK
Done that too. lol

Oh yeah....

And how about when you're telling someone something and stop in the middle because you can't remember why your mouth is moving?

UFFA!
