You Know You Are Old When

[Jstpssng]

You're the youngest child in the family and you're eligible to collect SS.

My younger brother and sister are eligible to collect..

My younger brother and sister are eligible to collect..

2 of my younger sisters are on Medicare —- worse than being able to collect Social Security!!!

I said it before and I'll say it again.

You know you are old when your "kids" are drawing their Social Security and Medicare.

Yes. You are very correct.

Unless you had your kids at 10!

My body makes all sorts of movements that it never made before. Don't even ask about the shacky hands.

Not to mention the old person sounds one makes. Are those learned sounds or are they instinctive?

 

[garry1p]

That's another thing, when you are young you make sounds like groan and moan that's for others to hear you.
When you are old they just come out even when you are all alone and they are for real.

Shacky hands?

 

[lman]

Shacky hands?

I guess you don't know people that live in shacks, they develop shacky hands.

I'm not drawing SS yet, but we (meaning my wife LOL) decided it was time to upgrade my 16 year old Mac desktop.

This is just a temp set up to ensure everything is working properly before we move it to my office desk...

The "Mac" is the silver box. Took my wife forever to explain to me that the desktop isn't the screen anymore LMAO (I love the 27" Mack I have always been using).

My last dog took two pills in the AM and one at night. Plus the monthly Bravecto for ticks and fleas. Between him and me I had more pills than Walgreens.

I've got a Mac mini in my "area" at home. Nice little machines.

There's gotta be some correlation between old age and loss of interest in physical gyrations.

Ah, yeah. Hips, knee and back.

And for some people, attitude. But don't get me started on that.

You forgot to add that when your old and making groans and moans for for others, it may not be for others to hear you, but because you pulled something in your back or arms and it hurts

 

[jjeff]

Nicotine patches i used years ago and stored in med cabinet have been replaced with prescription lidocaine ones In hopes of silencing whiny groans with preemptive use?

 

[MoKelly]

Hey, I EARNED this attitude!!!

It seems the older you get the less patience you have for foolishness or wasting time. This may seem like an attitude issue for those younger and not as wise.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I feel like a young stud now. I'm still using the smallest pill minder in that picture!

 

[jjeff]

Looking at those smaller pill minders is like a biographical timeline . I foresee, eventually Ill probably need to use two of those simultaneously.
