You know you are getting old when:

The three stages of believing in Santa.

1) You are a small child, you passionately believe in Santa.

2) You are an older child, you don't believe in Santa.

3) You're a big kid. You are Santa. (And that's when you know that you are getting old.)

Kinda scary to be at 3 and only be 21. Not only do I love to give presents, but I grow out my beard and wear a Santa hat during the holiday season, and really little kids stare up at me wide eyed with the word "Santa?" hanging on their tongue. lol

You're 21? Yesterday I was recalling some nuggets of this thread with a 21 year old. He told me that he will know when he is getting old. Apparently his wet dreams & dry f@rts change places.
How times and traditions change, that's not something I would have dared told my Godfather when I was his age.

you know your getting old when you no longer find women your own age attractive, I wouldnt be interested in dating a person my own age, just doesnt interest me anymore

 

[Atticus Finch]

You know you're getting (too) old when you're looking at the birth dates of prospective summer interns...who have all graduated from college and are now third-year law students...and you realize that you have suits and ties and maybe even underwear that's older than the oldest intern.

Dang, I wish this was an exaggeration.

I hope those are vintage suits and ties not 70s monsters that you still wear.

Generally speaking, I've found that I've always been more attracted to women who are approximately my age. When I was younger, I rarely found older women attractive; now that I'm older, I don't find young women to be as attractive as I once did. Since I've always been attracted to my wife, I suppose that's a good thing.

As Al Bundy once said: "Son, you got plenty of time to date 40-year-old women when you're 70, no wait, make that uh hmmm 35 when you're 80, yeah feels more right to me."

Ummmmm.....well......I ummmmm....well, I don't wear them every day.

That will keep you alive longer....lol!

You know you are getting older when you celebrate taking a dump......lol! (Yea, I did it today,...yea....yea...) Then you call family members and tell them one at a time.

Hello....yep....well....guess what I just did this morning? Yep.....finally!

Oh dear. TMI.

At least that's better than sharing it on Instagram.

 

[Fading Fast]

This is the first time (I think) that I've checked out this specific thread and this page was a jarring introduction - wow, no holding back here.

My two recent I'm getting older moments have been that I realize that I basically think about having my eyeglasses with me all the time or I know I won't be able to read a thing and I try very hard, but I don't like almost any new music (and I never wanted to be that person that only likes the music he grew up with).

And look like pig iron.

 

[2jakes]

And look like pig iron.

Speaking of "pig iron", I found a pair of new "tin pants" in my size. The back pockets &
crotch have rivets . They are very comfortable to wear.

So what...? [huh]

Well...glad you asked.

I find the Levis ™ label information interesting.

I 'm sure you are foaming at the mouth with joy for my new found jeans ...

That's not "age", that's "taste".
