You know you're getting old when...

[chaard]

You're working on a unit, bent over backwards for 20 min. and you need the next day off to recover.


You pass a mother and daughter in the mall and you think "The mother sure is hot!"


You need reading glasses just to read the data plate.


A repair that use to take you 20 min. now takes an hour.


You're 34 yrs. old and you start a thread "You know you're getting old when..."

[Stamas]

You know your getting old when you start checking out the GILFs as well as the MILFs.
Or when Dice and Twilli actually start making sense.

[chaard]

you don't give a rats a** about the presidential candidates or the horse they rode in on.

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen. (Winston Churchill).

[Texas-Tech]

When your christmas list has nothing on it but socks and underwear:D

Yep, I knew I was old at that moment. I would be at the school to pick up my young kids, and kept thinking how hot some of the mothers are.

Or when you are looking at old family photos, and you see some of your parents friends. When I was a kid I thought "gross, they are old." Now that I am the age they were in the photos, I think a lot of them we smokin'!

If you had been paying attention (like I was) you would have noticed the moms who were "hot" when you were 12. I did. And that was 1964!!!

No, you know you're getting old when you see a mom and her daughter at the mall, and you want to take BOTH of them to dinner...

[Catpower]

You're getting old when you can't remember why you want to take them to dinner

[key]

When you take Viagra to get high.

[countryhick]

Your getting old when ............................... I forgot

You know your getting old when you would rather have a hambuger than sex. A hambuger you can have anytime you want it, it wont care if you look at another hambuger and it wont get mad if you dont finish eating it.

[Balystic]

You know you're getting old when the wife asks you "Honey, are you going to fix that leaking window someday?" To which you reply, "Why the hell would I work on a Sunday?"

You're really old if that conversation occurs at the DINNER TABLE at 4PM.

[refereker]

You know you are old when the Missus comes out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a smile and you tell her to get her gown on before she embarasses the grandkids to which she replies that they aren't here, at which you run for the bedroom and she asks where you are going and you answer that it must be Christmas or my birthday so I'm going to get my teeth.

[markettech]

You know you're gettin' old when good looking young "chickies" call you sir.:(

You know you're gettin' old when it's hard to tell the age difference between high school seniors and middle schoolers - they all look like kids.

You know you're gettin' old when you have to pull out the calendar to help you remember the last time you "got some".

You know you're gettin' old when you gotta tilt your head back and look down your nose as you use your arms to adjust the distance of the motor nomenclature tag in order to read the numbers.


...............holy hell - when did I start getting old?:(:(

[Balystic]

You know you're gettin' old when it's hard to tell the age difference between high school seniors and middle schoolers - they all look like kids.

[ISOTHERMAL]

Once my helper and I stopped at KFC, placed our order and the gal taking our order asked if I wanted my senior citizen discount, I was 40 when that happened

iso

[chaard]

Now they don't even card me at the liquor store even though the sign says "We card under 40.":(

[ISOTHERMAL]

Wife and I went to Freebirds World Burrito last night for dinner. Kind of a young folk's place, but the food's good. Some kind of noise, er...music...was coming out of the speakers. After awhile a DJ came on, announcing what satellite radio station it was and then declared that the rock music I was hearing now would be classic rock in two decades. At that point I remarked loudly to my wife, while within earshot of a twenty-something guy eating at a nearby table, that those two decades come and go mighty quick. The young diner glanced at me and I swear he must have gotten a quick glimpse of his future, as his face momentarily flashed with worry. :D

Hmm...two decades ago was 1988. Anyone remember what's now considered classic rock from that time frame? My classic rock definitions tend to go back three decades, sometimes four....damn I'm getting old! :D :D

[hvacker]

You know yer gettin' old when you get into a fight and you remove your teeth first.


Or you worry "I hope I don't run out of breath"

Your getting old when you start acting your age.

[behappy]

You know yer gettin' old when

You stop in mid sentence....
and ask, what was I talking about? :rolleyes:

[ISOTHERMAL]

You know your getting old when you go to your service van twice to get a tool, because the first time you went, you forgot what tool you were going to get.

You know your getting old when you can relate to the things said in this thread.

[chaard]

You put the kids to bed and you fall asleep before they do.

I know that youngsters will disagree with my view, but I first started listening to music before Elvis was on Ed Sullivan, and I spent a lot of time playing music on the weekends in a top five radio market from 1971 to 1987, and I can state categorically that the stuff that came out from 1990 and forward has very little chance of ever reaching the "classic" status.

There is no Who, no Zeppelin, or Skynyrd. No Allman Bros, no Zappa, no Yes, no Genesis. No Beatles. Heck, not even a Monkees!

In fact, most of what passes for popular music is so heavily edited that is is nearly impossible to perform live. Singing has given way to either shouting or screaming, or trying to hit as many notes as possible in a stanza.

In fact, much of what is popular from Gen X and Gen Y is minor, depressing, and completely unenjoyable. Melodic? Harmonic? No. Just a bummer.

I call it "music to slit your wrists by."

Smells like defective teen culture.

The upside is that I plan to open a chain of hearing aid stores for when these 20 year olds with 120dB sound systems in their Hondas all go deaf...:D
