You know you are getting old when:

So sorry, is it ok now?

 

[Fastuni]

Yes, thanks!

You had me fooled for a moment as to the age of the photo.
But the people - and vehicle - in the background gave it away.

The above photo was previously shown in the vintage car thread. My wife indignantly said that girls in the 1940's didn't wear black dental floss under a white dress.

You are not going to believe this, I didn't notice. Now I know I'm getting old!

I broke my glasses 3 weeks ago, and need to get new ones, but my eyes can't be that bad! I don't see the floss comment...[huh]

I'm wearing my glasses, and I don't see it either.

Oh NOW I see it, as does everyone else in the background.

Is it the ageing process, or do I really need longer arms to read the newspaper?

I call it "trombone vision", because you're holding the item in question in your hand and mimicking the action of playing a trombone as you're trying to find that sweet spot where the lettering is in focus.

When the optometrist smiles and says...

Your TRI-focals :eeek: should be ready tomorrow...... My first glasses had to be tri-focals. Damn the luck.

The image that conjures up! I'm sure that newspapers also have some sadist that takes delight in reducing the font size.............just before a print run.

It becomes quite difficult to name stars of the cinema younger than one of the Barrymore's.

I can glance at the entertainment section of any newspaper, magazine etc. and it lists who's getting divorced. married or is having a baby-----and I haven't heard of a singe person they are talking about.

You're not missing anything.

I'll know our town has made it, when Honey Boo Boo comes to the opening of a Super Walmart.

And way back when a star was a star because you actually saw their movies or listened to their music.

And way back when a star was a star because you actually saw their movies or listened to their music.

And had talent.

Well, there was always Peggy Hopkins Joyce. Although I suppose you could call what she did a "talent."
