You Know You Are Old When

   / You Know You Are Old When #123  
I'm getting older but look younger and am more active and spirited than most 20 years younger. Still, two things come to mind.

While unloading a heavy 12.4 x 24 radial tire from the back of my pickup, it was no problem but a young man stepped up and said "sir, let me help you with that". I could easily have done it but if someone wants to help, I'm OK with it.

Second was in a store with people all stuffed together and a stunning 40 year old woman in a too tight sweater was repeatedly pushed into my back and side by the crowd. She apologized profusely for bothering me and while the young buck in me wanted to thank her, I bit my tongue.

Growing older seems to be mandatory but growing up more of a suggestion.

You know you're getting old when people that graduated high school in the same year as you are starting to appear more frequently in obituaries.

You're old...
You start an excessive number of conversations with, "In my day..." or "I remember when"
Or when you go looking for new jeans and marvel that at one time a 34" waist was too big. Now you can't get them up to your knees if you tried.
The cute cashier at the local convience store is your neighbours granddaughter.
The cool car, (Smokey and the Bandit TA in my case) you had as a kid more than qualifies for classic plates.
The subdivision creeping up on your property was Old Man ------- apple orchard when you were a kid.
The hot girl in your 9th grade history class is collecting her pension.
You miss parts of the 6 o'clock news because you keep drifting off.
You watch the 6 o'clock news.
You qualify for seniors discounts and don't have to tell the cashiers.
You tune in the local oldies station on your radio and don't recognise any of the music.
Most of the people in the shows you watched growing up are dead.
All your parents friends are gone and now their kids are dropping like flies.
That new house you always aspired to was bulldozed to make way for new condos.
You really have to think to remember how many cars you've had in your life.

You know you’re old, when you have conversations with your friends about your health issues! 😂😂😂
I think about this often. When we had family gatherings 45 years ago my parents, aunts and uncles would talk about what meds the doctor has them on.
Now that's me... especially when I had my dog, my place was starting to look like a Walgreens.
Last week I tossed $120 worth of meds which I had just bought when he died.

Yes, but you did the right thing for your dog.
