Rabs Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So I did a thread about this a while back and thought it was very amusing.. So I thought wed come up with some more.. I certainly have noticed some new things since last time... You know you are getting old when you start feeling wrong about finding younger women (or men if that's what your in to) attractive :P You know you are getting old when you feel it after not having something green with dinner ;) You know you are getting old when your age bracket changes from 25-35, to 35 and older lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I for one, refuse to grow up. I may get older and considering the alternative, that's not such a bad thing. That said, you know you're getting old when You look in the mirror in the morning and you see your Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I cant remember if I said this last time.. But its even more true now.. When I have conversations with friends that involve " an interesting piece of kitchen equipment that he just bought " or mortgage payment interest rates lol (and that sort of boring stuff you wouldn't talk about before you got involved cos its so bloody boring ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I meet up regularly with a couple good friends from high school. The other week I noticed that we were all either wearing glasses or reaching for them once the menus came! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Or, in my case, my Grandad! But, he was cool, so that's some consolation. CB beat me to it CB !! oddly, Moms family say i'm a ringer for Dad, but my body build, hair color and facial features are purely my Grandpa......as is my slow temper, and "think it thru 1st" problem solving philosophy. at 15 (in 1920) he was the teacher in a 1 room schoolhouse in Phillips Co. Kansas, by 18 he was an ordained minister w/his own church....both because he was one of the few "educated"(graduated 6th grade) men in the county. he went on to be a top accountant at Chrysler, and a huge member of the Library "Exchange Club".

MissouriPicker Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You know you're growing old when songs you wrote years ago about your parents and grandparents are starting to sound very relevant to you. Not just because you're singing about parents and grandparents, but because the story in the song is now becoming your story also. None of this is new. It's all happened before. We're just a continuation of the story. An Old Fisherman by Larry Garrett 08-11-06 ©I can‘t remember back that far, but (Dm)I’m told he was there. (G)See, I was pretty new and things were ©not exactly clear. ©But I recall a time when an old (Dm)man with fishing poles (G)Took me by the hand……©down life’s road we’d go. ©We’d talk and fish for hours……(Dm)that old man and me. (G)Talk and fish was all he did…….©far as I could see. ©But I now look back and marvel (Dm)at what he did, When (G)he was an old fisherman and ©I was just a kid. Chorus...... Grandpa, you know I miss you. Oh, Grandpa, you know it's true. One day we'll meet down my the riverside again. Until then, Grandpa God bless you. ©With the patience of a fisherman, (Dm)wisdom of a sage, He (G)taught things known only by a ©man who was self-made. ©He had strength for my weakness, (Dm)faith for my soul, And (G)plenty of advice when I was ©out of control. ©He was like a second father….’till (Dm)I was almost grown. Then like (G)rain on drought-ed land, he ©was too quickly gone. ©But he left me things to love, to (Dm)have, and to hold, (G)Things worth passing-on, like ©these old fishin’ poles. Chorus......Harmonica and guitar solo………………… ©Life can be a trip, but ya (Dm)know, you gotta smile. (G)It all comes “full circle.”….. © just takes awhile. ©And now one day a grown man will look (Dm)back at what I did (G)When I was an old fisherman and ©he was just a kid. Harmonica and guitar solo………see you later, Grandpa. Copyright © Larry Garrett 08-14-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaysEpiphone Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I know I'm old and not as useful at 50 but to the music industry I've been old and useless for 20 years now! And as young girls go, there for the most part all younger then me at the bar's and club's I go to now but I find it easier to approach them now, no change in the out come (most all still say no) but it's easier for me to ask them out now.

milod Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think Grampa kinda hit it. Die before you get old, and I've friends 20 years older than I am who ain't there yet. As far as girls go... I know a batch of Grandmas that would be too young for me to be comfortable dating. That's kinda proof of age, I guess. OTOH, regardless of age, I guess eye sparkle always had been a major criterion for me finding girls attractive, and that's true of girls my age too. I get static from some friends, though, who see me texting or checking email on my phone who have suggested I'm too old to be doing that. But no big deal. Musically... One thing about aging a bit is, I think, a far lesser focus on current "pop" and a widening of musical interests. That tends to make the younger folks figure you're old, and to make older folks figure the "kids" will grow out of their fads of the day. Physically... yeah, I wish the bod were only 50 again. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You know you're old when you spent the 6 months after your most recent birthday believing you were a year older than you were. Not uncommon. I spent years counting forward from '63 to remember how old I was. Only reason I know now is cuz everybody makes such a big deal of the fact that I will be turning 50.
