    You know you are getting old when, you can remember the words to every hit song from the eighties, but can't remember why you came into a room.

    You know you're getting old when you don't care that you are constantly forgetting things, rely on others to let you know what is was you forgot to do, and can't figure out why they're upset.

    You also know you're getting old when you spend a lot of time talking to your friends about the weather and/or bodily functions.

    Damnit, Randy, why did you start this thread? I'm getting depressed! :biggrin:

    You know you're getting old when you look at a Playboy PMOM and think "Cute kid"

    Wife and I went out for our 26th Anniversary dinner last night. This morning another older neighbour, Jim, and his wife came over for morning coffee. I was telling Jim about our dinner and the great food. He was asking me of the name of the place.

    "Oh now what was it? What's the name of that flower that the women like so much?" I asked.

    Jim answered back, "A carnation?"

    " No not that one. The one that is expensive and has all the thorns on it." I replied.

    Jim quiclky came back "Rose."

    "Yes, yes. That's it.........ROSE!......." I hollered into the kitchen where my wife was preparing some more coffee, "What's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

    You really know you are getting old when that happens.

    You know you're getting old when you're the only one in the room who can work the TV without a remote...

    The wife and I have been shopping to replace her mini-van.


    Instead of shopping by features and price, while shes sitting in it playing with all of the knobs and looking at herself in the mirrors I'm under the hood trying to figure out how many hours its gonna take me to change the plugs......


    I might be getting grumpy but if it requires intake removal to vhange plugs she gets told to keep looking....So far she's gonna be buying a new F-150......

    Did you notice that no matter where you are in the room, the muzzle is still pointed at you?

    You're getting old when you find yourself reading the Obits and recognize many of the deceased.

    Could you think of them as crepes or tortillas? Less stress maybe.

    You know you're getting old when every time you sign into your computer, the first thing you do is to change the view to 150%

    "I'm as good once as I ever was". I can still do things I used to do. The recovery time is just longer(x3...).

    SO, my 23 year old son is moving out this weekend.


    The wife has plans for his bedroom......



    I just got back from Lowes. I bought a replacement lockset for the garage and set of shelving. When he leaves Saturday I intend to put the shelf and all of his stuff thats piled out in the garage on the last pickup load and wish him luck it it....


    Then change the lock and fill the fridge out there with some micro-brew!!!!

    You could sleep with someone half your age and it wouldn't be a crime. That's not really that old but it gives you a scary wake-up call when you get into your 30's. My daughter turning 18 on Sunday also sucks in some ways!

    You know you are getting old when you can remember fixing the TV when it went on the fritz by stomping your foot hard on the floor a time or two.

    Your nasal hairs are bushier than that which is atop your head.

    You know you are getting old when you have to explain to your kids why the typewriter in your closet doesn't need a monitor.
