You know you are getting old when........

[fortyearspickn]

When your cardiologist wants payment up front. 

[Notes_Norton]

You don't buy green bananas because you might not make it until they get ripe.

You know you’re getting old when family and friends treasure you.  Of course, they might treasure you because it’s hard to find fossils.

Jowls.  Hair coming out in the comb again (and there's not much left anyway).  Clicky knees, cramp, muscle and tendon-type pains where/when you least expect.

Fatigue.  How can I feel this tired when I hardly did anything?

Diet.  Everything makes me put on weight. 

68 years wear and tear on the feeding/digestion in/out system; reflux at the top end and (unmentionable) at the other. 

Consider all of the above and realise this is as good as it gets, now is the best part - however crap I feel sometimes. 

The other thing is.....

Worry and bewilderment at how we are going so wrong in the 21st century.

It's a hangover from the last century that'll last at least as long as we do.

Instead of sucking it up and dealing with it you leave your motorcycles parked because it's super hot and humid out and take a nap, instead.

When your 80 and you poop in a diaper like when you were a month old.

Yeah...and especially when you're at The Vatican!

You know you’re getting older when you agree with the old axiom, “Things can always get worse.”

I forgot what I was going to say....

[Notes_Norton]

The little scrolly thing to pick the year you were born is getting kinda far.

When running errands count as going out.

If everyone tells you you look good for your age,  you might be getting old. 

[Whitefang]

...When you read the obituary pages to catch up with your friends.

[SteveFord]

When people ask you, "Aren't you retired?"

[CROWB8]

At the checkout counter you're asked,

Would you like the senior discount?

[CROWB8]

You feel good when asked for your ID for buying smokes or booze.

I've like, pulled up, put in neutral, turned off the light (73 XLCH), turned ignition off, cut fuel, and walked away only to hear, CRASH!

Forgot to put the kickstand down.

Sadly true.  In the last 2-3 years I’ve had 5 music friends pass away.  One from Covid, the rest from the other effects of life.  You’ve got to be tough for this “getting old” stuff.

[SteveFord]

When you actually know the answer to why do old men develop bellies.

This stuff sucks.

[Whitefang]

When you can remember the only three television networks used to "sign off" at midnight.

[Notes_Norton]

You remember playing in a singles lounge and on the wall the prices for well drinks were 35 cents and call brands 45 cents.

And that was expensive.

When you go to clean out your Spam folder and there's an email with the header Dementia Project.

No, I am not kidding.

P.S.

Never did find that pair of socks I'm sure I brought downstairs with me.
