You know you are getting old when:

...you read and hear about those torturing restrictions to daily lifestyle and quality time due to C-19 measures every day and you have no idea what the fuss is all about.

Last night I (virtually) attended my youngest’s graduation from university in NY State. She will now attempt to enter the workforce. I, on the other hand, will be retiring the end of next month. One in, one out. The cycle of life continues. Yes, I’m feeling a bit old.

I don’t have to be told how much easier the past year and change has been for me than many others. And yes, age has something to do with it.

You start yelling at that kid to get the hell out of your yard, and it's your kid...

Wouldn't that be all the more reason to yell at him/her to get out of your yard? "Hey! Get offa' my property ya' freeloader!!!"

What? Gary Busey will become 77, this month??
I had no idea, that he was already 50 in "Chasers"!

You know you're getting old when it starts to hurt to do some things that used to be pain free. Things like sleep.

 

[tonyb]

... you remember when ox tails were poor people fare.

...your body turns more and more to a spare part stock / scrapyard.

Been getting those since my age was measured in single digits, trying to stop them for almost as long. Asking them to stop doesn't work. Telling them to stop doesn't work. Begging them to stop doesn't work. Telling them I was dead worked til I had to renew my driver's license.

Had a nice converstions with a girl, while we were playing and fondling our sweet bus stop cat.

When do you think, the girl was born??

2013...

Remembering when the film 2001: A Space Odessey and the show Space: 1999 were set in the far future. And now realizing there is an entire adult generation born after those dates, entirely within the 21st century...

My wife is approximately a year-and-a-half older than I am, and I'll reach 60 at the end of next month (we're at the point where a woman's age is more a matter of irrelevance than secrecy). She started receiving their propaganda before she reached 50, and I got "grandfathered" in because of her. Now, "AARP" allegedly stands for "American Association of Retired Persons". I don't know about you folks but, as far as I know, I've never personally met anyone who was able to retire at the age of 50. And if you're able to, you probably don't need their pathetic little discounts. So, what gives?

Funny how quickly we got to a future that didn't really exist. On that note, no movie or television show set in the future (that I'm aware of) has predicted the future accurately. Our future is always either overly idealized or overly grim, with very little (if any) in-between.

I had noticed that during pandemic those stupid Millenials vs Boomers stories practically disappeared.
