You know you are getting old when....

 

I keep having to lift my glassed to read smaller print [crying]

 

The first thing I see when I look in the mirror is the ever growing shiny patch on the top of my head that bounces light of it at an alarming rate

I just found out that flamed maple has been a very common wood for beds and wardrobes in the 1950s. That having said, I obviously prefer guitar tops looking like the favoured sleeping room furniture of my parents' generation, so I must be fairly old meanwhile. [biggrin]

 

Perhaps there's a reason why the bursts didn't sell that well then... [rolleyes]

I ran into some "ex" neighbors (didn't want to say "old" neighbors, lol) the other day at the market. We're all about the same age (late 60's) and just got chatting about how things were going, and obviously the topic turned to just aging. She had an Aunt who said "Oh to be 50 again...nothing hurts and everything works". I can relate on some levels [flapper]

The medications for the day have to be taken in two handfuls.

When you start to notice how your nose and ear hair grows about four times quicker than the hair on your head.

I am an underwriter and recently bought a magnifying glass because reports are getting moe complex and the font is getting smaller.

 

I can't believe I did not buy one before with all of those hard to read faxes of the past.

 

Still buying a magnifying glass made me feel old.

Naps. I love naps. Naps are like Lima Beans. I hated them as a kid. Now I can't seem to get enough of them.

 

My beard is more gray than brown.

 

Realizing the Jethro Tull tune your humming isnt bouncing around in your head, its the muzak playing in the grocery store you've gone into.

 

Watching some teens walking down your street and thinking "Punk Kids"

When a 2 inch hair appears on the top of your ear that wasn't there yesterday.

 

When you sit on the toilet to fart.

 

When you are really pleased with how well your 3rd nose hair trimmer works.

 

When you embrace your dirty old man phase without shame.
