You Know You're Getting Old...

We can't all be in such great shape as Nobby Penfold, and the idea for this thread arose when I returned just now from my daily hypertension-lowering bike ride: I came in, aimed an imaginary six-gun at my wife, as I often do, then quickly decided instead that I'd better go to the toilet.

How do you members over 50 know you're near or past your sell-by date, apart from having to sit down to get your socks on? I'd prefer real personal ones, rather than the well-known platitudes.

I knew... the first time nice a young bird smiled at me, not with the come-hither expression of former times, but instead like she would a sick pet.

ou know you're old when...
 

Polite children address you as "Sir"

You look in the mirror one day and see your dad staring back at you.



For all of our mocking young whippersnappers...

Like you we were and like us you'll be.
Contemplate that, I dare you.:D:haha:

When your ball hair starts to get as silver as the hair on your head :( Also you can't spell simple sentences !!!

This is meant to be a family-friendly forum. Please keep it clean.

My ex-wife was the youngest of three sisters, the eldest being the product of an earlier marriage. When we were still newlyweds my 70-year-old father-in-law once told me "You know you're getting old when you realize your children are starting to look middle-aged."

Nothing wrong with hair on balls or grass either.:O:

I knew I was getting old when I recognized the functionality of banisters.

Before that banisters were something decorative that little girls "like" to slide down.

But now I know and appreciate banisters.

The other sign also involved stairs.

When I was younger if I were to find a paper clip while cleaning up I would bound up the stairs with the single paperclip to put it in the office.

These days, I save up stuff and actually plan trips up stairs. I used to laugh at those little baskets that sit on the stairs... now I think they are a great idea.

When I recently turned 59 and my 20 year old son said "tragic"
I also noticed it takes me longer to recover from a depth-charge attack :wah:

I've noticed multi knees aching more than usual...

Is the rot setting early?

I could add a bit of my discussion I had the other day with some friends...but you all would laugh.

Some of you got over 50 years on me. :har:

Oh man.........I here you on that note. This new world sucks and get off my over-watered lawn you young whippersnappers!

Seriously, there is a huge shift with the PADD replacing rote. Young people these days can't do math without a calculator. The relationships of value are lost. Ever try to get change when the cash register is on the blink? It's disgusting!

C'mon on now...
It's fun to make a McDonalds employee cry.:haha:

Experience and treachery will always win over youth and enthusiasm.
