You know your getting older when.......

smitdavi · 02-12-2009, 08:38 PM

you buy a vacuum and your excited about it.

Thought this thread would be fun. When ever you do something that makes you realize your getting older post it here. Also the older inmates, please post the warning sings that you realized when you were in your 20's

When my daughter's former pre teen babysitter now has her own child and is a teacher in my younger daughter's school.

Time flies....

You know your getting older when your shoulders hurt and shopping for vacuums excite you..

But you already knew that...

When you make a golf shot and your back sounds like firecrackers.

TripleF · 02-12-2009, 08:46 PM

in a conversation you say........"I guess it was about 25 or 30 years ago"

sheeeeeesh

markem · 02-12-2009, 08:47 PM

You think of "colonoscopy" as a verb.

when your right knee starts to hurt for no reason

....you try to explain to a 20 something co-worker that the letters on the telephone were there because telephone numbers used to have letters in them......not for text messaging.

I do this as well.

Lucky_Hippo · 02-13-2009, 09:44 AM

When staying out late means 9:30.

When driving to the outlet mall, the conversation starts off with "I remeber when this used to be...."

When the beat up car you drove to high school is now considered a classic.

When a movie you remember from a few years ago turns out to be over 20 years old. (i.e. Top Gun, Major League, Back to the Future)

When you have to finally give in and buy your 1st pair of reading glasses.

When they use music you grew up with in TV ads.

You remember when a 9600 baud modem was blazing fast.

You tell someone you remember when a 10 MB hard disk was as big as an LP and you even know what an LP is.

smitdavi · 02-12-2009, 08:52 PM

lol here's a good one that I've used lately. The other night I told Katie is was going to rain the next day because the joints in my body hurt.
