You Know that You are Old When....

8. When the main topic that you and your friends talk about is maintenance medicine hahaha!

Surely 1 and 2 are true for me, not the other three, let's say that possibly I aged gracefully.

when my nephews and niece are around. they talk about new trends i couldnt understand/relate.

I kind of like this one: The battle of your waistline puts up the white flag in defeat. (cue 'Taps') I thought of this one some years back : You know you are getting old when your kids start asking you, 'did you have (insert modern gadget) when you were a kid?' questions. And I wasn't actually all THAT old when I felt that one. A couple of years ago, a co-worker mentioned how the apartment she used to live it was REALLY OLD, and she knew it was because it had those 'screw in things, sort of like light bulbs' in the electrical panel. It took me a couple moments before I realized she meant 'fuses' Yeah, kid, really really ancient. I was thinking something like 'knob and tube'

When the television is more comforting than having tea with friends at a coffee shop.

6. When you keep on looking for your glasses which you're already wearing.

When you have to explain to your child what a cassette tape is because he's never seen/heard of one! Or when you realised that many of the items with which your children have grown up and could not imagine a world without, are things you remember being invented (or things you've never heard of because you stopped paying attention to new-fangled things several years ago).

1. when no longer smile. 2. when you no longer love. 3. when you do not care. 4.when you are alone. 5. when you do not have motivation, you're resigned. 6.when nothing but static, nothing impresses yourself, stimulate ... 7. when you're afraid.

You know that you are old when you would rather sit home and watch TV than go to a party or out to hear live music.

Boy I think we can relate to that I know personaly

You know you're getting old when you bend over to pick something up and wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

7. When you can't distinguish your house from the neighbor's LOL!

... You have a problem remembering your kids names - let alone recollecting your grand kids ... You sleep more than you have too - and yet say you don't get enough sleep ... You set reminders on your small basiccellphone for every little thing!! { truthfully - these are not personal experiences... just what I have noticed with folks in my family :-) }
