Once you get to the top of the stairs, there's nowhere to go but down.
You know you're getting old when people start saying you've had a long life but that's wrong, the older you get, life becomes shorter.
Not so much in a mirror, but as a follow-up to this June 20th post...when you look in the mirror and dont like what you see, because your no longer the young person you use to be
it can be terrifying like the scene from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? with Betty Davis

...I didn't have to take the written or driving test, but they did have me read their eye chart and have an updated photo taken. Now, every time I look at the photo on my license I think, "Jeez, who's that old man?"I've had my current driver license for, best guess, about 20 years now. I have a clean driving record--no tickets or accidents--so they've just sent me a new one every time the previous one expired. Apparently, someone finally noticed how long it's been because I received a letter from the Department of Motor Vehicles last week stating I need to make an appointment to take a driving test before they'll renew my license this time.

And many now are four generations removed.You know you're getting old when you realize that most young people today are three generations removed from the World War II Generation.
You know, you are getting older, when you prefer fresh bedclothing more than in your 20s.
You know you are getting old when you
start using empty tennis ball cans by your bedside because you are too cold
and tired to make the trip to the bathroom which now is an all night affair
especially in the winter months.
This is why properly designed night stands have a little cupboard on the bottom.

A funnel, attached to a hose, connected to a watering can makes for a good alternative bladder relief. If you happen to have somewhere to site a hook for the funnel it will negate the need to get out of bed. I have the next best thing, an en suite bathroom.

Have you had your prostate checked ?
