Yesterday as a birthday present i got the annual pair of slippers from my Mum ... im worried as i haven`t taken them off and love wearing them, that this is a sign of me become old !
Can you help and give me evidence that you believe proves we are "officially" old ... hopefully i won't recognise many of the traits :shock:
By the way receeding hairlines and spreading waist-lines dont count as i already have them .... dam i am old !
Please save me :-(
You know when you are old when ...
You ask the kids to turn the horrible screching noise down.. and anyways the used to have real tunes in your day ..:violin:
Ummm... I lurrve my slippers... the old-style tartan mens ones £3 from ASDA! (and its MRS B saying this!!!)
You know you are getting old though when...
You may have heard the rumor that life begins at fifty. Maybe it's true but everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out.
There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory. And I can’t remember the other two.
Middle age is when work is a lot less fun--and fun is a lot more work.
Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Isn't that unfortunately a little late for a guy to get those odds?
You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
You know you're getting on in years when the girls at the office start confiding in you.
Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.
Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.
Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in the middle.
You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.
When you are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.
Doctor to patient: I have good news and bad news: the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac.
It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.
When you lean over to pick something up off the floor, you ask yourself if there is anything else you need to do while you are down there.
You find yourself in the middle of the stairway, and you can't remember if you were downstairs going up or upstairs going down.
Your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love," and you answer, "Honey, I can't do both!"
You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.
When an "all nighter" means not getting up to pee!
"Getting a little action" means I don't need to take any fiber today.
"Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot.
A sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door.
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.
You're getting old when you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started
I drink loads of tea, listen to radio 2 and fall asleep in the arm chair. But I refuse to wear slippers!.
When you start to answer a post and what you write just goes off the rails and you begin to ramble on and on and suddenly you are talking about the weather which has been very mild for the time of year but quite windy which reminds me not to let my girlfriend have brussels sprouts not that I would stop her eating anything but there you go thats my answer...
what was the question?
You know your old when...
...you have a piece of wood specifically to stir paint with.
I remember my son in Year 2 at school, age 6 doing his first big history project about the victorians, he was really enjoying learning about how different life was especially for children, I was telling him a little about my own childhood, emphasizing the differences in just a single generation, no mobile phones, the old Amstrad cassette computers, sinclair, spaghetti junction being opened (we live next to it), the corkscrew at Alton Towers being one of the most terrifying white-knuckle rides in Europe and being one of the first to go on it... etc... etc...
He listened avidly, then asked:
"So did you ever get to meet Queen Victoria then Mummy?"
I pointed out that Queen Victoria had died in 1901 only to hear the reply:
"Were you still a little girl then?"
... and I simply couldn't answer... suddenly seeing myself through my 6 year olds eyes as an "old person"
:shock:
i dont feel old at all,,,i just have loads of grandchildren so i must be !
