The local policeman doesn't look old enough to have left school....You wonder if the dentist is really a teenager impersonating a dentist...when the weather is cold and you don't care what you look like, as long as you are warm....... Anyone got any more?! Diane :)

You know you are getting old when your neice is having children before you are!!!!! You first hear your favorite song from High School being played as musicak in the elevator You have to deal with your Doctor (who is 10 years younger than you giving you a lecture) You focus more on your 401K than on your dress size You have a birthday and don't WANT ANYONE TO KNOW how old you are now (big change from turing 18, 21, 25 etc) Your favorite rock group starts having renunion tours instead of just "tours" ==Brenda Lou

You know your old and you go to the bank to conduct business and when the teller looks at the account he reply's ...wow you opened this account before I was born....This happened to MIL a few years back and she was mortified! You know your old when the phone rings on Saturday night and you hope it isn't for you! You know your old when you prefer comfort over fashion! |

Bama, that is so funny(but true! ) You know you are getting old when you go upstairs ,but the minute you get there you can't remember what you went up for.........You know you are getting old when the styles you used to wear as a teenager are suddenly back in fashion....

You know you're old when you realize what your children are studying history in school is what you lived thru and remember well!!!
I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

You know you're getting old when each time you're walking up stairs with your kids behind you, they always pass you because you're too slow. This is happening to me more and more these days.

You know you are old when you are diagnosed with CRS Cant Remeber S*%^ You are in the shower and you rise your hair and you cant remeber if it was the shampoo you just rised out or the conditioner you forget your kids at school every minum day you get to the store and you forget what to get and you forget the list you wrote to remind You forget that you have laundry in the machine for two days and the smell when you open the lid knocks you on the floor. The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

| When you sit down in the restaurant and the waitress asked "Would you like the senior citizen discount." And I was only 42 then. LOL 10 years later they don't ask I just get it. Now that's old!!!! |

Mother in Law I was having a very bad day about a year ago and some skinny young hostess in a restaurant asked me if I wanted the senior discount. It'll be a while before that poor little girl asks anyone that doesn't look at least 110 again. Dorothy |

Dorothy when she asked that to me when I was 42 my husband and I both broke out in laughter I think we scared her so badly that she didn't ask that question again either. LOL I just recieved this today thought it might fit the thread. Here goes: What is Old? "OLD" IS WHEN..... Your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love," and you answer, "Pick one, I can't do both!" "OLD" IS WHEN.. Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot. "OLD" IS WHEN..... A sexy babe catches your eye and your pacemaker opens the garage door. "OLD" IS WHEN.... Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face. "OLD" IS WHEN..... You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along. "OLD" IS WHEN..... You are cautioned to slow down by... the doctor instead of by the police. "OLD" IS WHEN..... "Getting a little action" means I don't need to take any fiber today. "OLD" IS WHEN..... "Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot. "OLD" IS WHEN..... An "all-nighter" means not getting up to go potty. |

| My son was in the fifth grade and one afternoon I heard him sighing and whining about his homework. I ask him what was wrong and he said Dad, I have to learn all the presidents and in the order they were president. I said son, I had to do that too and you will get it. My son turned without thinking and said, yeah Dad but you only had to learn the name of two presidents when you were in the fifth grade. That's my son for ya! |

I knew I was old when I noticed I only had one eye brow, one very long eyebrow. I knew I was old when I could not remember seeing my toes the last time. I knew I was old when a hot evening for me was sleeping on my heating pad. I knew I was old when my son told me he too had arthritis and was losing his hair and gaining weight. Oh, I knew I was old when I had more hair on my ears than on my head. LOL, peace to you all |
