Know what makes you feel old ??

[RSKY]

Going to the doctor's office and having a pretty young PA come in and say, "Mr. Smith, I had both your wife and daughter as teachers in school."

Child looked like she should still be in Middle School. Has a 10-month old boy.

Jeezz!!

I feel old remembering our neighbor felling American Chestnut trees then making split rail fences and shingles with an adze.

It’s a good thing you were facing her in order to read her lips.

Makes you feel good at the same time though, right???

 

[Thomas]

Yep that would make the feathers go down on rooster.

Just saw my doctor for some swelling in my leg. She assigned me to wear knee-high compression stockings. I responded that a man needs to admit when entering old age, LOL.

I'm not one to judge people by their age, in other words If I'm "hanging out" with some guy's doing something we have a common interest in and generally have the same lifestyle but they happen to be 20+ years my junior and something comes up in the casual (b.s.ing) conversation like..

"the cops" dumping out our beer and picking one of us to drive home & stay there
telling them about the early Panasonic cell phone I had screwed to the "hump" in the truck
how good my 30 year old Milwaukee band saw still works (older than some of them)
New p/u trucks for under $10k
dollar (or less) gas..........
It's happening more & more every year.:laughing:

The random breath test conducted by a cop who hasn't had his first shave yet.
Telemarketers flogging funeral insurance (how do they know my age and number?)
Being offered a seniors discount in a restaurant.

Still remember the day two college age girls walked up to me smiling and said, sir do you know what time it is.
Yes this was pre cell phone days. But rest assured in my mine I still got it, I just cant remember what to do with it.

Me and my wife were taking our daily walk on some backroads in our neighborhood. Nobody was around so I took my shirt off because it was hot out. Not more than 2 minutes later a car pulls up and stops to talk a minute. She happen to be a very cute young neighbor lady and I found out I can suck in my gut and hold it for up to a minute and a quarter. To bad she talked for two minutes. It was not a pretty sight and the wife gave me the gas about that for a long time.

Sign on the liquor store - "We CARD everybody". The sweet young thing behind the counter says - "That's OK, OOSIK, we all know you are older than 21". Geeze - couldn't she ask to see my drivers license, just once.

When your 2 grand daughters have graduated from university and buying their 1st homes!

When I look at the picture on top of the hall display case, of Me and Sharn Jean, taken in 1961, or the one of me and my Mom, taken in 1942, or when I'm rummaging through my T Shirts and find the ones from the car show in 1990, or even when I look at my Grandad's watch, which was given to me in 1980.

When your GREAT GRANDDAUGHTERS( 2 ) have their 6th & 8th birthday this coming July.

Lol. TOO funny!!

I have to keep reminding myself I am old because my brain doesnt believe what my body is telling it.
Oh, yes, I have 4 x great grand kids. Oldest is 5. Youngest is now talking.

As the poet Barrere said:
"Well you know
That you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise
That your body can't fill"

might use that on some birthday cards

I've referred to this a couple times in the last couple months, but it fits here too.

Think about this for a minute or so before responding.

How old would you be if you didn't know the date of your birth?? How old are you actually??

I'm 43. I'm actually 67.

The sentiment was made popular by Little Feat, in their song Old Folks Boogie.
